< Ahibirania 6 >
1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩtũtiganei na morutani marĩa ma kĩambĩrĩria ma ũhoro wa Kristũ, na tũthiĩ na mbere na gũkũra, na tũtige kwambĩrĩria gwaka mũthingi rĩngĩ wa kũrutana ũhoro wa kwĩrira nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko iria cierekagĩria mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ, na ũrutani wa gwĩtĩkia thĩinĩ wa Ngai,
Wherefore, dismissing the elementary discourse concerning the Christ, unto maturity, let us be tending, not, again, a foundation, laying down—of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards God,
2 na morutani ma ũbatithio, na ma kũigĩrĩrwo moko, o na ma kũriũka kwa arĩa akuũ, o na ma gũtuĩrwo ciira wa tene na tene. (aiōnios )
Of immersions—in respect of teaching, and of the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of judgment age-abiding; — (aiōnios )
3 Na noguo tũrĩĩkaga, Ngai angĩĩtĩkĩria.
And, this, will we do, if at least, God, permit.
4 Na rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ hinya mũno kũrĩ andũ arĩa maanathererwo nĩ ũtheri, na magacama kĩheo kĩrĩa kiumĩte igũrũ, na magakorwo matuĩtwo a ngwatanĩro ya Roho Mũtheru,
For it is impossible—as to these who have been, once for all, illuminated, who have tasted also of the heavenly free-gift, and have been made, partners, in a Holy Spirit,
5 o acio macamĩte wega wa kiugo kĩa Ngai na maahinya ma ihinda rĩrĩa rĩgooka, (aiōn )
And have tasted God’s utterance to be, sweet, mighty works also of a coming age, (aiōn )
6 andũ acio mangĩgũa na matigane na maũndũ macio-rĩ, gũtingĩhoteka kũmacookia rĩngĩ merire, nĩ tondũ nĩ kwambithia marambithia Mũrũ wa Ngai mũtĩ igũrũ o rĩngĩ, na makamũnyararithia kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ.
And who have fallen away, again, to be remoulding them into repentance; seeing they are again crucifying unto themselves the Son of God, and holding him up as an example.
7 Mũgũnda ũrĩa uragĩrwo nĩ mbura kaingĩ na ũgacooka ũgaciara maciaro mega ma kũguna arĩa marĩmĩirwo-rĩ, nĩũrathimagwo nĩ Ngai.
For, land, which hath drunk in, the rain, thereupon ofttimes coming, and which bringeth forth vegetation fit for them for whom it is even cultivated, partaketh of a blessing from God;
8 No mũgũnda ũrĩa ũkũraga mĩigua na mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ nĩ wa tũhũ, na ũrĩ ũgwati-inĩ wa kwĩrehithĩria kĩrumi. Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ nĩgũcinwo ũgaacinwo.
But, should it be bringing forth thorns and briars, it is disapproved, and, unto cursing, nigh, —whose end is for burning.
9 Arata akwa nyendete mũno, o na tũkĩaragia ũguo, ha ũhoro wanyu-rĩ, nĩtwĩrĩgĩrĩire maũndũ mega kũrĩ macio, o marĩa marehanaga na ũhonokio.
But we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things which are better and which contain salvation, though, even thus we speak.
10 Tondũ Ngai ndaagĩte kĩhooto; ndakaariganĩrwo nĩ wĩra wanyu o na wendo ũrĩa muonanĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩrĩa mwateithagia andũ arĩa aamũre, o na rĩu no mũrathiĩ na mbere na kũmateithia.
For, not unrighteous, is God, to be forgetful of your work and of the love which ye have shewn forth for his name, in that ye have ministered unto the saints, and are ministering,
11 Tũngĩenda mũndũ o mũndũ wanyu onanie kĩyo o ta kĩu o nginya mũthia, nĩguo mũkaahingĩrio maũndũ marĩa mũtũire mwĩrĩgĩrĩire.
But we covet that, each one of you, be shewing forth the same diligence, unto the full assurance of the hope throughout:
12 Tũtikwenda mũtuĩke igũũta, no tũkwenda mwĩgerekanagie na andũ, arĩa nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia na gũkirĩrĩria kwao nĩkuo gũtũmaga magaĩrwo maũndũ marĩa meranĩirwo.
In order that, not slothful, ye may become, but imitators of them who, through faith and patience, were becoming heirs of the promises.
13 Rĩrĩa Ngai eerĩire Iburahĩmu kĩĩranĩro gĩake, eehĩtire akĩĩgwetaga we mwene, nĩgũkorwo gũtiarĩ na ũngĩ mũnene kũrĩ we wa kwĩhĩta nake,
For, when to Abraham God made promise, seeing he had no one greater by whom to swear, He sware, by himself, —
14 akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩngũkũrathima na ngũhe njiaro nyingĩ.”
saying—Truly, if blessing I will bless thee, and, multiplying, I will multiply thee;
15 Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio, thuutha wa Iburahĩmu gweterera akirĩrĩirie-rĩ, nĩaheirwo kĩrĩa eerĩirwo.
And, thus, being patient, he attained unto the promise.
16 Tondũ rĩĩrĩ, andũ mehĩtaga na mũndũ ũrĩa mũnene kũmakĩra, naguo mwĩhĩtwa ũgakindĩra ũrĩa kwĩrĩtwo, na ũgakĩniina ngarari ciothe.
For, men, by the greater one, swear, and, with them, an end of all gainsaying by way of confirmation is, the oath:
17 Na tondũ Ngai nĩendaga kuonania hatarĩ nganja kũrĩ agai a maũndũ marĩa meranĩirwo atĩ itua rĩake rĩrĩa aatuĩte rĩtingĩgarũrũka-rĩ, nĩakindĩrire ũhoro ũcio na mwĩhĩtwa.
Wherein God, being, more abundantly disposed to shew forth unto the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his counsel, mediated, with an oath, —
18 Ngai eekire ũguo na ũndũ wa maũndũ meerĩ matangĩgarũrĩka, o marĩa gũtangĩhoteka Ngai aheenanie namo, nĩgeetha ithuĩ arĩa tuonete handũ ha kũũrĩra twĩgwatĩre kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩrĩa tũheetwo, tũhote kũũmĩrĩria mũno.
In order that, through means of two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to make himself false, a mighty consolation, we might have, who have fled along to grasp, the fore-lying hope,
19 Kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩkĩ tũrĩ nakĩo kĩhaana ta nanga ya ngoro, nakĩo nĩ kĩrũmu, na nĩ kĩa ma. Nakĩo gĩtoonyaga handũ-harĩa-haamũre thuutha wa gĩtama kĩrĩa kĩnene,
Which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into the interior of the veil:
20 o harĩa Jesũ, ũrĩa wathiire mbere iitũ, aatoonyire ithenya riitũ. Nake nĩatuĩkĩte mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene o nginya tene, o ta ũrĩa Melikisedeki aatariĩ. (aiōn )
Where a forerunner in our behalf hath entered, even Jesus, who, according to the rank of Melchizedek, hath become, a high-priest unto times age-abiding. (aiōn )
