Hebreo 12
1 Ngarud, agsipud ta napalikmutantayo kadagiti adu a saksi, iwaksitayo amin dagiti mangpadpadagsen kadatayo ken ti basol a nalaka a mangsilsilo kadatayo. Anusantayo a tarayen ti salisal nga adda iti sangoanantayo.
Seeing, therefore, that there is on every side of us such a throng of witnesses, let us also lay aside everything that hinders us, and the sin that clings about us, and run with patient endurance the race that lies before us,
2 Kumitatayo laeng kenni Jesus, ti nagtaudan ken mangan-anay iti pammatitayo, a gapu ti rag-o a naisagana para kenkuana, inibturanna ti krus, saanna nga inkan-kano ti pannakaibabain, ken nagtugaw iti makannawan nga ima iti trono ti Dios.
our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfect example of our faith, who, for the joy that lay before him, endured the cross, heedless of its shame, and now ‘has taken his seat at the right hand’ of the throne of God.
3 Ta ibilangyo isuna a nangibtur iti kasta a nasasakit a sasao manipud kadagiti managbasol a maibusor kenkuana tapno saankayo a mabannog wenno nalaka a masaktan.
Weigh well the example of him who had to endure such opposition from ‘people who were sinning against themselves,’ so that you should not grow weary or faint-hearted.
4 Saankayo pay a nagkedked wenno nakigubal maibusor iti basol agingga iti pannakaibus ti dara.
You have not yet, in your struggle with sin, resisted to the death;
5 Ken nalipatanyo ti pannakapabileg a mangisursuro kadakayo a kas an-annak: “Anakko, saanmo nga iyaleng-aleng ti panangdisiplina ti Apo, saankayo a maawanan iti puso no tubngarennakayo.”
and you have forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as God’s children – ‘My child, think not lightly of the Lord’s discipline, do not despond when he rebukes you;
6 Ta disdisiplinaan ti Apo ti siasinoman nga ay-ayatenna, ken dusdusaenna ti tunggal anak nga aw-awatenna.
For it is him whom he loves that he disciplines, and he chastises every child whom he acknowledges.’
7 Ibturanyo dagiti pannubok a kas disiplina. Makitultulag ti Dios kadakayo a kas addaan ti annak, ta ania nga anak ti saan a disiplinaan ti amana?
It is for your discipline that you have to endure all this. God is dealing with you as his children. For where is there a child whom his father does not discipline?
8 Ngem no awan ti disiplinayo, nga isu ti pagbibingayantayo, maysakayo ngarud a bastardo ken saanna nga annak.
If you are left without that discipline, in which all children share, it shows that you are bastards, and not true children.
9 Kanayonna pay, addaantayo kadagiti naindagaan nga amma a mangdisiplina kadatayo, ken rinaemtayo ida. Saantayo met kadi nga ad-adda a pagtulnogan ti Ama dagiti espiritu ken agbiagtayonto?
Further, when our earthly fathers disciplined us, we respected them. Should we not, then, much rather yield submission to the Father of souls, and live?
10 Ta pudno a dinisiplinaannatayo dagiti ammatayo kadagiti sumagmamano a tawtawen a kasla usto kadakuada, ngem disdispilinaannatayo ti Dios maipaay iti pagsayaatantayo tapno mabalintayo a makabingay iti kinasantona.
Our fathers disciplined us for only a short time and as seemed best to them; but God disciplines us for our true good, to enable us to share his holiness.
11 Awan ti disiplina a kasla nakaay-ayo iti agdama ngem ketdi nasakit unay. Uray no kasta, mangitedto iti natalna a bunga ti kinalinteg maipaay kadagiti nasuroan iti daytoy.
No discipline is pleasant at the time; on the contrary, it is painful. But afterward its fruit is seen in the peacefulness of a righteous life which is the lot of those who have been trained under it.
12 Ingatoyo ngarud dagiti nakababa nga imayo ken patibkerenyo manen dagiti nakapuy a tumengyo;
Therefore ‘lift again the down-dropped hands and straighten the weakened knees;
13 agaramidkayo iti diretso a pagnaan maipaay kadagiti sakayo, tapno saan a maiyaw-awan ti siasinoman a pilay no diket mapaimbag.
make straight paths for your feet,’ so that the lame limb may not be put out of joint, but rather be cured.
14 Ikagumaanyo ti makikappia kadagiti amin a tattao, ken uray ti kinasanto a no awan daytoy ket awan met ti makakita iti Apo.
Try earnestly to live at peace with everyone, and to attain to that purity without which no one will see the Lord.
15 Agannadkayo tapno awan ti mailaksid iti parabur ti Dios, ken awan ti pangrugian ti gura nga isu ti pakaigapuan ti riribuk ken mangrugit ti kaaduan.
Take care that no one fails to use the loving help of God, ‘that no bitterness is allowed to take root and spring up, and cause trouble,’ and so poison the whole community.
16 Agannadkayo ta awan koma uray ania a kinaderrep wenno saan a nadiosan a tao a kas kenni Esau, a nangilako ti bukodna a karbengan a kas inauna nga anak iti maysa a pannangan.
Take care that no one becomes immoral, or irreligious like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.
17 Ta ammoyo a kalpasan a tinarigagayanna a tawiden ti bendission, nailaksid isuna, gapu ta saan a nakabiruk ti gundaway ti panagbabawina iti amana, uray pay no binirukna daytoy a sipapasnek nga addaan ti lua.
For you know that even afterward, when he wished to claim his father’s blessing, he was rejected – for he never found an opportunity to repair his error – though he begged for the blessing with tears.
18 Ta saankayo nga immay iti bantay a mabalin a masagid, bantay ti gumilgil-ayab nga apuy, kinasipnget, ladingit, ken bagyo.
It is not to tangible ‘flaming fire’ that you have drawn near, nor to ‘gloom, and darkness, and storm,
19 Saankayo nga immay iti makaringgor a tangguyob, wenno iti sasao manipud iti timek a nakaigapuanan dagiti mangdingdingngeg iti daytoy nga agpakaasi a saan a sabali a sao ti maisao kadakuada.
and the blast of a trumpet, and an audible voice.’ Those who heard that voice entreated that they might hear no more,
20 Ta saanda a maibturan ti naibilin: “Uray pay no ayup ti mangsagid ti bantay, rumbeng a maubor daytoy.”
for they could not bear to think of the command – ‘If even an animal touches the mountain, it is to be stoned to death;’
21 Nakabutbuteng unay daytoy a pasamak isu nga imbaga ni Moises, “Kasta unay ti butengko isu nga agtigtigergerak.”
and so fearful was the sight that Moses said – ‘I tremble with fear.’
22 Ngem ketdi, immaykayo iti Bantay Zion ken ti siudad ti sibibiag a Dios, ti nainlangitan a Jerusalem, ken kadagiti sangapulo a ribu nga anghel nga agramrambak.
No, but it is to Mount Zion that you have drawn near, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless hosts of angels,
23 Immaykayo iti pagtitiponan dagiti amin nga inauna nga anak a nailista idiay langit, iti Dios nga Ukom ti amin, ken kadagiti espiritu dagiti nalinteg a nagbalin a naan-anay.
to the festal gathering and assemblage of God’s firstborn whose names are enrolled in heaven, to God the judge of all people, to the spirits of the righteous who have attained perfection,
24 Immaykayo kenni Jesus, ti mangibabaet ti baro a tulag, ken iti naibuyat a dara a nabilbileg ngem ti dara ni Abel.
to Jesus, the intermediary of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that tells of better things than the blood of Abel.
25 Kitaenyo ta saanyo a pagkedkedan ti agsasao. Ta no saanda a nakalibas idi nagkedkeddanda ti nangballaag kadakuada ditoy daga, awan duadua a saantayo met a makalibas no panawantayo ti mangbalballaag manipud langit.
Beware how you refuse to hear him who is speaking. For, if the Israelites did not escape punishment, when they refused to listen to him who taught them on earth the divine will, far worse will it be for us, if we turn away from him who is teaching us from heaven.
26 Iti dayta a tiempo, ginunggon ti timekna ti daga. Ngem ita inkarina ket kinunana, “Iti maminsan pay, gunggonek saan laeng a ti daga, ngem uray dagiti langit.”
Then his voice shook the earth, but now his declaration is – ‘Still once more I will cause not only the earth to tremble, but also the heavens.’
27 Dagitoy a sasao, “Iti maminsan pay,” ipakpakitana ti pannakaikkat dagiti banbanag a magunggon, dayta ket, dagiti banbanag a naparsua, tapno agtalinaed dagiti banbanag a saan a magunggon.
And those words ‘still once more’ indicate the passing away of all that is shaken – that is, of all created things – in order that only what is unshaken may remain.
28 Isu a, ti panangawattayo iti pagarian a saan a magunggon, agyamantayo ken iti daytoy a wagas agrukbabtayo a makaay-ayo ti Dios nga addaan iti panagraem ken panagbuteng,
Therefore, let us, who have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken, be thankful, and so offer acceptable worship to God, with awe and the deepest respect.
29 ta maysa nga apuy a makauram ti Diostayo.
For our God is ‘a consuming fire.’
