< Hebera 6 >
1 NOLAILA e waiho ana i na hua mua o na olelo a Kristo, e hele aku kakou imua a hiki i ke oo loa ana; aole e hoonoho hou ana i ke kumu no ka mini ana i na hana e make ai, a no ka mauaoio i ke Akua,
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 A no ke ao ana i na bapetizo ana, a no ke kau ana o na lima, a no ke alahouana o ka poe make, a me ka hoopai mau loa ana. (aiōnios )
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios )
3 Oia ka kakou e hana'i, ina i pono ia i ke Akua.
And this will we do, if God permit.
4 No ka mea, aole e hiki i ka poe i hoonaauaoia mai, a i hoao hoi i ka haawina mai ka lani mai, a i hoolakoia hoi e ka Uhane Hemolele,
For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 A i ai hoi i ka olelo maikai a ke Akua, a me ka mana o ke ao e hiki mai ana, (aiōn )
And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, (aiōn )
6 A ua haule iho no nae, aole e hiki ke hoala hou ia i ka mihi: ua kau hou aku lakou i ke Keiki a ke Akua ma ko kea no lakou iho, me ka hoomainoino aku ia ia ma ke akea.
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame.
7 O kahi lepo hoi i inu iho i ka ua e haule pinepine ana maluna iho ona, a i hoohua mai no hoi i na hua e pono ai ka poe nana e mahi, ua hoomaikaiia mai ia e ke Akua.
For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
8 Aka, o kahi i hookupu mai i ke kakalaioa, a me ka nahelehele ooi, he pono ole ia, ua kokoke ia i ka hoahewaia mai; a o kona hope ka puhiia i ke ahi.
But that which beareth thorns and briers [is] rejected, and [is] nigh unto cursing; whose end [is] to be burned.
9 Aka, e ka poe aloha, ke manao nei makou i na mea maikai aku no oukou, i na mea e pili ana i ke ola, i ko makou olelo ana no hoi pela.
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
10 Aole he lokoino ke Akua i poina ai ka oukou hana ana, a me ke aloha a oukou i hoike aku ai i kona inoa, i ko oukou malama ana i ka poe hoano, a me oukou hoi e malama nei.
For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11 Ke makemake nei no hoi makou e hoike oukou i ua hooikaika mau ana la, i maopopo loa ai ka manaolana a hiki i ka hopena.
And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12 Aole e hoomolowa ana oukou, aka, e hoohalike ana me ka poe i loaa ka pono i hai mua ia mai ai, ma ka manaoio a me ke ahonui.
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 No ka mea, i ko ke Akua hai mua ana ia Aberahama, no ka hiki ole ia ia ke hoohiki ma o ka mea oi aku, ua hoohiki iho oia ma ona la iho,
For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
14 I iho la, He oiaio hoi e hoomaikai loa aku ana au ia oe, a e hoonui loa ana au ia oe.
Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 A kali aku la hoi ia me ke ahonui, a loaa mai la ia ia ka pono i hai mua ia mai.
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 O kanaka hoi ke hoohiki nei ma ka mea i oi aku; a o ka hoohiki ana e hooiaio ai, o ko lakou mea ia e oki ai ka hoopaapaa ana.
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation [is] to them an end of all strife.
17 Pela hoi ke Akua i kona makemake ana e hoomaopopo loa i ka poe hooilina o kana pono i ka luli ole ana o kona manao, ua hooiaio mai oia me ka hoohiki ana;
Where in God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed [it] by an oath:
18 Ma na mea luli ole elua, kahi i hiki ole ai i ke Akua he hoopunipuni, e hoohoihoi loa ia mai ai kakou ka poe i holo i ka puuhonua, e hoopaa i ka manaolana i waihoia mai ma ko kakou alo:
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 I ko kakou mea e hoopili aku ai me he heleuma la no ka uhane, he paa, a he panee ole, i ka mea hoi i komo loa ae iloko ae o ka pale;
Which [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
20 I kahi i komo ai no kakou o Iesu o ko kakou mea hele mua, i hooliloia'e hoi i kahuna nui mau loa mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka. (aiōn )
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, [even] Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn )
