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,
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 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 of washings, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Anyị ga-eme nke a ma Chineke kwe.
And this we will do if God permits.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is 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, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.
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 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 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.
We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of 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.
that you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited 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 made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself,
14 na-asị, “Nʼezie aga m agọzi gị, nyekwa gị ọtụtụ ụmụ ụmụ.”
saying, "I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you."
15 Ebraham nwere ndidi, natakwa ihe e kwere ya na nkwa.
Thus, having patiently endured, he 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.
For people swear oaths by something greater, 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.
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 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 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 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, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the curtain;
