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 doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, 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 g166)
of the teaching of washings, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Oia ka kakou e hana'i, ina i pono ia i ke Akua.
And this we will do if God permits.
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 concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165)
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.
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 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 land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it, and brings forth a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives 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 if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, 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 of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.
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, so as to forget your work and the love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.
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.
We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to 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 you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited 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 a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore 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, "I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you."
15 A kali aku la hoi ia me ke ahonui, a loaa mai la ia ia ka pono i hai mua ia mai.
Thus, having 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 people swear oaths by something greater, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
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;
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 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 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 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;
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the curtain;
