Ebre 6
1 Se sak fè, ann grandi toujou pou n' ka vin granmoun nan konfyans nou. Ann kite dèyè premye konesans yo te ban nou sou Kris la. Nou pa pral rekòmanse ankò ap poze premye baz travay la: nou pa pral di nou ankò jan nou dwe chanje lavi nou, jan nou dwe wete konfyans nou te gen nan zèv ki pa vo anyen yo pou n' mete l' nan Bondye.
Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 Non, nou pa pral pale nou ankò sou batèm yo, sou sèvis pou mete men sou tèt moun ki kwè yo, sou keksyon lè moun mouri yo va leve, sou jijman ki p'ap janm kase a. (aiōnios g166)
of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Ann pouse pi devan! Se sa nou pral fè koulye a, si Bondye penmèt nou sa.
And this will we do, if God permit.
4 Moun ki te resevwa limyè Bondye a yon fwa deja, yo te goute kado Bondye te ba yo a, yo te resevwa pòsyon pa yo nan Sentespri Bondye a.
For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 Yo te goute pawòl Bondye a, yo te wè l' te gou. Yo te santi nan lavi yo pouvwa k'ap travay nan tan k'ap vini an. (aiōn g165)
and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165)
6 Apre sa, si yo voye konfyans yo nan Bondye jete, pa gen mwayen pou yo tounen vin jwenn Bondye ankò. Paske, yo kloure Pitit Bondye a yon dezyèm fwa sou kwa a. Yo fè l' wont devan tout moun ankò.
and [then] fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
7 Lè yon tè bwè dlo lapli ki tonbe anpil sou li, si li pouse plant ki ka sèvi moun k'ap travay li a, Bondye ap beni li.
For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God:
8 Men, si li pouse pikan ak pengwen, li pa vo anyen. Bondye riske ba l' madichon. Lè sa a, yo ka boule li.
but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.
9 Nou mèt wè m' ap pale konsa, frè m' yo, mwen gen anpil konfyans nan nou toujou. Mwen konnen nou nan chemen ki pou delivre nou an.
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak:
10 Paske, Bondye pa mechan pou l' ta bliye travay nou fè, ni renmen nou moutre nou gen pou li, lè nou t'ap rann moun k'ap viv pou li yo anpil sèvis, sèvis n'ap rann yo jouk koulye a toujou.
for God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered unto the saints, and still do minister.
11 Men, mwen ta renmen wè nou toujou kenbe konsa nan aktivite travay la jouk sa kaba, konsa sa n'ap tann lan ka rive vre.
And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:
12 Mwen pa ta vle nou lage kò nou nan fè parès. Okontrè, se pou nou swiv egzanp moun ki gen konfyans yo, moun ki rete tann ak pasyans. Se poutèt sa yo te resevwa sa Bondye te pwomèt la.
that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 Lè Bondye te fè Abraram pwomès la, li te fè sèman li t'ap kenbe li. Li fè sèman an sou tèt li, paske pa gen pi gran pase li.
For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself,
14 Li te di: Mwen pwomèt ou pou m' beni ou, pou m' ba ou anpil anpil pitit pitit.
saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 Abraram te rete tann ak pasyans. Se konsa li resevwa sa Bondye te pwomèt li a.
And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 Lè moun ap fè sèman, yo sèmante sou sa ki pi gran pase yo. Yo pran sèman an pou yon garanti pou fini tout diskisyon yo ka gen yonn ak lòt.
For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
17 Men, Bondye te vle fè moun ki pou te resevwa sa l' te pwomèt la wè aklè li pa t'ap janm chanje pawòl. Se sak fè, li ajoute sèman an dèyè pwomès la.
Wherein God, being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;
18 Konsa, vin gen de bagay la a ki pa ka chanje, de bagay Bondye pa ka bay manti sou yo. Nou menm menm ki jwenn yon pwoteksyon nan men l', sa ankouraje nou anpil pou nou kenbe byen fèm espwa Bondye ofri nou an.
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:
19 Espwa sa a, se tankou yon lank batiman li ye pou nou. L'ap kenbe nanm nou fè m', byen solid. Lank sa nou genyen an, li chouke jouk lòt bò rido tanp ki nan syèl la.
which we have as an anchor of the soul, [a hope] both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;
