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,
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection; not laying again the foundation 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 g166)
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Na noguo tũrĩĩkaga, Ngai angĩĩtĩkĩria.
And this will we do, if 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 for those who have been once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit.
And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, (aiōn g165)
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.
If they shall fall away, to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame.
7 Mũgũnda ũrĩa uragĩrwo nĩ mbura kaingĩ na ũgacooka ũgaciara maciaro mega ma kũguna arĩa marĩmĩirwo-rĩ, nĩũrathimagwo nĩ Ngai.
For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs fit for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth 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 that which beareth thorns and briers [is] rejected, and [is] nigh to cursing; whose end [is] to be burned.
9 Arata akwa nyendete mũno, o na tũkĩaragia ũguo, ha ũhoro wanyu-rĩ, nĩtwĩrĩgĩrĩire maũndũ mega kũrĩ macio, o marĩa marehanaga na ũhonokio.
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus 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 God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have shown towards his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11 Tũngĩenda mũndũ o mũndũ wanyu onanie kĩyo o ta kĩu o nginya mũthia, nĩguo mũkaahingĩrio maũndũ marĩa mũtũire mwĩrĩgĩrĩire.
And we desire every one of you to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end:
12 Tũtikwenda mũtuĩke igũũta, no tũkwenda mwĩgerekanagie na andũ, arĩa nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia na gũkirĩrĩria kwao nĩkuo gũtũmaga magaĩrwo maũndũ marĩa meranĩirwo.
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit 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 God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself,
14 akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩngũkũrathima na ngũhe njiaro nyingĩ.”
Saying, Surely 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 so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 Tondũ rĩĩrĩ, andũ mehĩtaga na mũndũ ũrĩa mũnene kũmakĩra, naguo mwĩhĩtwa ũgakindĩra ũrĩa kwĩrĩtwo, na ũgakĩniina ngarari ciothe.
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation [is] to them an end of all contradiction.
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, willing more abundantly to show to the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed [it] by 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.
That by two immutable things, in which [it was] impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
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 [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the vail;
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 g165)
Whither the forerunner hath for us entered, [even] Jesus, made a high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
