Ebre 6
1 Konsa, nan kite enstriksyon elemantè sou Kris la, annou pouse de lavan vè matirite. Nou p ap poze ankò yon fondasyon repantans ki soti nan zèv mò yo, ak lafwa anvè Bondye,
Therefore, let us leave behind the elementary teaching about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith in God,
and of instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Tout sa nou va fè si Bondye kite l fèt.
And this we will do, if God permits.
4 Paske nan ka a sila ki, yon fwa, te eklere yo, ki te goute kado selès la, ki te vin patisipan nan Lespri Sen yo,
For it is impossible to renew to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
who have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age, (aiōn g165)
6 e ki answit, te vin tonbe, se enposib pou renouvle yo ankò a repantans, paske yo ankò krisifye pou kont yo Fis Bondye a e ekspoze Li a lawont piblik.
and yet have fallen away, since, to their own harm, they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and exposing him to public shame.
7 Paske tè ki bwè lapli ki tonbe souvan sou li a, e ki pote plant ki itil a sila k ap kiltive tè a, resevwa benediksyon a Bondye.
For land that has drunk the rain that often falls upon it, and produces a crop useful to those for whom it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God.
8 Men si li pote pikan ak zepeng, li san valè e prèt pou vin madichonnen, e fini pa brile.
But land that bears thorns and thistles is worthless and on the verge of being cursed; its end is to be burned.
9 Men byeneme yo, nou konvenk de pi bon bagay konsènan nou menm yo, bagay ki akonpanye Sali yo, malgre se konsa n ap pale.
Even though we speak in this way, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that pertain to salvation.
10 Paske Bondye pa enjis pou Li ta bliye travay nou ak lanmou ke nou montre anvè non Li, ke nou te bay e kontinye ap bay a sen yo.
For God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the labor of love that you have shown toward his name by serving the saints, as you still do.
11 Nou dezire ke nou chak montre menm dilijans lan pou nou kapab gen yon espwa ranpli nan asirans konplè jiska lafen,
We want each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope to the very end,
12 pou nou pa vin mou, men rete imitatè a sila ki, atravè lafwa ak tenasite, te vin eritye pwomès yo.
so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and patience.
13 Paske lè Bondye te fè pwomès la a Abraham, akoz ke Li pa t kapab sèmante pa okenn pi gran, Li te sèmante pa pwòp tèt Li.
When God made his promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself,
14 Li te di: “Byensi Mwen va beni ou, e byensi, Mwen va miltipliye nou.”
saying, “I will surely bless yoʋ and multiply yoʋ.”
15 Konsa, nan tann li avèk anpil andirans, Abraham te resevwa pwomès la.
And so Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise.
16 Paske moun toujou sèmante pa yon moun ki pi gran pase yo, e nan nenpòt malantandi yon sèman ki fèt avèk yon akò fèmen tout diskisyon.
People swear by someone greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.
17 Nan menm fason an, Bondye, ak volonte pou menm plis montre eritye pwomès yo ke bi Li a pa kab chanje, Li te pale avèk yon sèman.
So when God wanted to show the unchangeable nature of his purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, he guaranteed it with an oath,
18 Pouke pa de bagay ki pa kab chanje yo, pa sila ke li enposib pou Bondye bay manti, nou menm ki te pran refij nan Kris la, nou genyen yon gwo ankourajman pou kenbe esperans ki plase devan nou an.
so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.
19 Lesperans sa a ke nou gen kòm lank pou nanm nou an, yon esperans ki asire e solid, youn ki menm antre anndan vwal tanp lan,
We have this hope as a sure and steadfast anchor for the soul. It enters into the inner sanctuary behind the veil,
