Ebilunba 6
1 Lan yaapo, tin cedi tin cicili ki bangi yaa maama n tie li tanpuli Kilisiti nni ki suagi liiga leni yaa bangima n kpedi ki dagidi ki kan go guani ki bili ti tuonkpiema tanputoali tin den yie ya,
Therefore let us leave the commencement of the word of the Messiah, and let us proceed to the completion. Or will ye again lay another foundation for the repentance which is from dead works, and for the faith in God,
2 Leni li dandanli U tienu po, leni mi batisima bangima, leni ki maani i nii ki jandi, leni ki jandi ki fiini a tinkpila, leni yaa buudi n ba yuandi ki cua. (aiōnios g166)
and for the doctrine of baptism, and for the laying on of a hand, and for the resurrection from the dead, and for the eternal judgment? (aiōnios g166)
3 Ti ba ti yaa tiendi lane U tienu yaa bua.
We will do this, if the Lord permit.
4 Kelima li pa leni yaaba n cili ki ba Kilisiti yenyenma, ki leeni U tienu paabu yaabu n ñani tanpoli po, ki go ba U tienu Fuo ŋanma,
But they who have once descended to baptism, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit,
and have tasted the good word of God, and the power of the world to come, (aiōn g165)
6 Li pa leni bi po, bi yaa yaadi ban go fidi ki lebidi bi pala ki mia sugili. kelima bani bi yaaba n go kpaagi U tienu Bijua li dapoanpoanli po ki go fiagi O asala nni.
cannot again sin, and a second time be renewed to repentance; or a second time crucify and insult the Son of God.
7 Yaa tinga n yen baadi ke ki taaga mi ki po, ki yaa pudi yaala n pia mi fuoma yaaba n ko ga po, laa tinga baadi U tienu seli.
For the earth that drinketh the rain which cometh often upon it, and produceth the herb that is of use to those for whom it is cultivated, receiveth a blessing from God.
8 Ama ki ya pudi i konkoni leni muadi malikonkoni, kaa pia fuoma ba kuli. ki go tie tinsolinkaaga li kan waagi leni ban juuga mi fantama.
But if it should put forth thorns and briers, it would have reprobation, and be not far from a curse, and its end would be a burning.
9 N bua kaaba ba leni tin maadi yeni kuli, ti gu ki lee yi kani ke yi tiendi yaali n ŋani ki go dagidi leni yi tindima po.
But, in regard to you, my brethren, we are persuaded better things, and things pertaining to life, although we thus speak.
10 U tienu tiega cain, o kan sundi yi tuonŋama leni yin den doagidi yi buama O po maama. kelima yi den todi O nigagidiŋanba hali yen moala ke yi go baa todi ba.
For God is not unrighteous, to forget your works, and your charity which ye have shown in his name, in that ye have ministered and do minister to the saints.
11 Ti bua yi niini yendi yendi kuli n ŋanbi ki kubi laa yankuali hali mi juodima, lan tie yin ba yin bi sugini yaala.
And we desire, that each one of you may show this same activity, for the completion of your hope, even to the end:
12 Yin da yualigi mani yi gbanu, ama yin yaa togidi yaaba n baadi U tienu n niani bi yaala kelima bi dandanli leni bi ŋaniali po.
and that ye faint not; but that ye be emulators of them who by faith and patience have become heirs of the promise.
13 U tienu n den niani Abalahama u ñoanianu yaa yogunu O den ta wani O ba yaa yeli ki poli kelima o ba kuli ki ye ki cie O ke O baa poli li daano yeli nni.
For when God made the promise to Abraham, because there was none greater than himself by whom he could swear, he swore by himself;
14 Ki yedi: moamoani cain, n baa seligi ŋa ki yaa pugidi a puoliŋuani.
and said: Blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 Lan teni Abalahama den juuna ki suagi liiga ki den ba U tienu n niani o yaala.
And so he was patient, and obtained the promise.
16 Bi nisaaliba yaa poli bi yen poli ki taa yua n cie ba yaa yeli. lan tie yaa ñoanianu n kali bi siiga yen teni niama kuli n gbeni. Lan yaapo yo,
For men swear by one greater than themselves: and in every controversy that occurs among them, the sure termination of it is by an oath.
17 U tienu moko den bua ki doagidi waani ke O ñoanianu kan lebidi yaaba yaa po ke O den niani ba ban baa ba yaala. ke O ñoanianu kan lebidi leni wan bili ya yanjagili, O go den poli ki pugini O ñoanianu po.
Therefore, God, being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise, that his promising was irreversible, bound it up in an oath;
18 Laa bonliedili yaali n kan lebidi ki go doagidi ki waani ke U tienu kan pua faama; lani n paagidi ti pala tinba yaaba n sani ki baa O po.
so that, by two things which change not, and in which God cannot lie, we, who have sought refuge in him, might have great consolation, and might hold fast the hope promised to us;
19 Ti pia ki muubi laa suginma ke mi tie nani o naano ñindabiagu kubikpiagili yaali n ba cuo ki sieni ku ñindapiagu kaanyendu. laa suginma pendi ku cabipigin kaabu ki kua hali deeni liiga po.
which is to us as an anchor, that retaineth our soul, so that it swerveth not; and it entereth into that within the veil,
