Ndị Hibru 6
1 Ya bụ ka anyị na-aga nʼihu nʼihe mmụta zuru ezu, ka anyị gharakwa ịnọgide nʼihe mmụta mbụ ahụ nke anyị nwere banyere Kraịst. Anyị agaghị alaghachi azụ ịtọ ntọala nchegharị ọzọ site nʼọrụ ndị nwụrụ anwụ nʼokwukwe nʼebe Chineke nọ,
So let us get beyond the teaching of the elementary doctrines of Christ, and let us be borne along toward what is mature. Let us not be continually laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God,
2 na-akụzi banyere ime baptizim na ibikwasị aka nʼisi na onyinye nke Mmụọ Nsọ, na mbilite nʼọnwụ na ikpe ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
of the teaching regarding ablutions and the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Anyị ga-eme nke a ma Chineke kwe.
And this we will do, if God permit.
4 Ma ọ dịghị mfe ịkpọghachi ndị dara ada ọzọ, bụ ndị natarala ihe ahụ na mbụ, ndị detụkwara onyinye amara dị iche iche nke si nʼeluigwe bịa ire, ndị ketakwara oke Mmụọ Nsọ,
For in the case of those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the Future Age, (aiōn g165)
6 ma mesịa dahie nʼonwe ha, ọ bụ ihe siri ike ịkpọghachite ha ruo nchegharị. Ha na akpọgidekwa Ọkpara Chineke nʼobe ọzọ, na emenyekwa ya ihere nʼihu ọha mmadụ.
and then fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance. For they repeatedly crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and expose him to an open shame.
7 Nʼihi na ala ahụ nke na-amị mmiri na-ezokwasị nʼelu ya mgbe niile, na-amịpụta mkpụrụ bara ụba nye ndị e ji maka ha kọọ ya, na-enweta ngọzị nʼaka Chineke.
For land that has drunk the showers that now and again fall upon it, and produced vegetation useful for those for whom it was tilled, receives a blessing from God;
8 Ma ọ bụrụ na o puo naanị ogwu na ahịhịa, ọ baghị uru ọbụla. Kama, ọ ga-abụ ihe a bụrụ ọnụ, nke ọgwụgwụ ya ga-abụ ịkpọ ya ọkụ.
but if it produces thorns and thistles, it is considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, and its end will be to be burned.
9 Ma ọ bụ ezie na anyị na-ekwu otu a, ezi ndị enyi m, anyị nwere ntụkwasị obi maka ihe dị ezi mma banyere unu, bụ ihe ndị ha na nzọpụta so bịa.
But though we thus speak, we are persuaded better things of you, beloved, and things that accompany salvation.
10 Chineke abụghị onye na-ekpe ikpe nʼezighị ezi. Ọ gaghị echefu ọrụ niile unu rụrụ ya. Ọ gaghị echefu ịhụnanya niile unu gosiri nʼihi ya site nʼịgara ndị nsọ ozi, dịka unu na-aga nʼihu na-emekwa.
For God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you showed for his cause, in sending help to your fellow Christians, as you are still doing.
11 Anyị chọrọ ka onye ọbụla nʼime unu nọgidesie ike nʼotu ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi ahụ ruo ọgwụgwụ ihe niile, ka unu nwee olileanya inwezu ihe niile unu na-atụ anya ya mgbe oge ruru.
but I am longing that each of you continue to show the same diligence to realize the fulness of your hope, even to the end.
12 Anyị achọghị ka unu bụrụ ndị umengwụ, kama ka unu bụrụ ndị na-eṅomi ndụ ahụ jiri okwukwe na ntachiobi nweta ihe ahụ e kwere na nkwa.
Then do not become slack, but be imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.
13 Mgbe Chineke kwere Ebraham nkwa, o ji onwe ya ṅụọ iyi, nʼihi na ọ dịghị onye ọzọ dị ukwuu karịa ya,
For when God make the promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself, saying.
14 na-asị, “Nʼezie aga m agọzi gị, nyekwa gị ọtụtụ ụmụ ụmụ.”
Surely I will bless you, and bless you; I will increase you, and increase you.
15 Ebraham nwere ndidi, natakwa ihe e kwere ya na nkwa.
And so by patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the promise.
16 Ụmụ mmadụ na-eji ndị ka ha ukwuu ṅụọ iyi, iyi aṅụrụ nʼụzọ dị otu a na-eme ka ihe e kwuru guzosie ike ma wezugakwa ịrụ ụka niile nʼetiti mmadụ.
I am referring to the oath because men swear by what is greater than themselves, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
17 Ya mere, mgbe Chineke chọrọ igosi ndị ahụ ga-eketa nkwa ahụ, ụdịdị izuzu ya, o jiri ịṅụ iyi mee ka o doo ha anya na izuzu ya adịghị agbanwe agbanwe.
On which principle God, wishing to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, mediated with an oath;
18 Ka ọ ga-abụ site nʼihe abụọ na-enweghị mgbanwe, nke na-agaghị ekwe omume izi Chineke dịka onye ụgha, anyị bụ ndị gbara ọsọ ndụ ga-enweta agbamume siri ike iji jide olileanya e dobeere anyị.
that by means of two immutable things - his promise and his oath - in which it is impossible for God to break faith, we refugees may have strong encouragement to grasp the hope set before us.
19 Anyị nwere olileanya a dị ka arịlịka nke mkpụrụobi nke guzosiri ike ma bụrụkwa nke e chekwara. Ọ na-abanye nʼime ime ebe nchụaja ahụ nʼazụ akwa mgbochi
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, secure and strong, and passing into the sanctuary which is beyond the veil;
