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.
Therefore leaving the teaching of the first principles of Christ, let’s press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, 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, of laying on of hands, 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.
This will we do, if God permits.
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 concerning 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 to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to 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 has drunk the rain that comes often on it and produces a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives 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 bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, 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 of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.
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, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.
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.
We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness 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 you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited 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 a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore 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 you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
15 Abraram te rete tann ak pasyans. Se konsa li resevwa sa Bondye te pwomèt li a.
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 indeed swear by a greater one, 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.
In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to 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 take 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.
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil,
