Hebreos 6
1 Rumal kꞌu riꞌ, man xwi ta bꞌa kaqilij ri nabꞌe taq kꞌutuꞌn ri xya chaqe chirij ri Cristo xane joꞌ chiqawach. Man are ta chi bꞌa kaqatzalij ubꞌixik ri nabꞌe taq jastaq jetaq ri chꞌekoj koltajem rukꞌ ri chak ri xaq kamikal kukꞌam loq, ri kojonik chirij ri Dios,
So, we [(inc)] must not keep [discussing] the elementary principles about Christ. Instead, we must proceed [to the teaching that will make us spiritually] mature [MTY]. We must not [be people who always need someone to teach them] the elementary truths [about Christ that are like] [MET] a foundation. [I am referring to the teaching that people who do sinful] things must turn away from their sinful behavior, things that [those who are spiritually] [MET] dead do. [I am referring to the teaching] that people must believe in God.
2 ri ucholajil chirij ri qasanaꞌ, ri yaꞌoj qꞌabꞌaj pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, ri kꞌastajibꞌal kiwach ri kaminaqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌatoj tzij ri man kꞌo ta ukꞌisik. (aiōnios g166)
[I am referring to the teaching about what] various [Jewish and Christian] rituals for purifying people [signify. I am referring to the teaching about how elders enable people to receive spiritual gifts by] laying hands [on them] [MTY]. [I am referring to the teaching that God will] ([cause] those who have died to live again/raise people from the dead). And [I am referring to the teaching that God] will judge [some people and punish them] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
3 Ronojel waꞌ kaqabꞌano we kuya bꞌe ri Dios chaqe.
[Instead of continuing to discuss these elementary truths], we [(inc)] (OR, I) will [go on to give people mature teaching], if God allows it.
4 Rumal cher makuya ta chik chi ri winaq ri xetunax kanoq rumal ri sipanik rech chilaꞌ chikaj xuqujeꞌ xyaꞌtaj kech ri Uxlabꞌixel,
[I will explain why it is important to do that. Some] people have at one time fully understood [the message about Christ] [MET]. They have experienced [a relationship with Jesus Christ] that God [EUP/MTY] gave [to them]. They have received the Holy Spirit the same as [others have].
They have experienced that God’s message is good. And by what they have experienced [now], they know how [God will work] powerfully in the future. If those people reject [the message about Christ], it will not be possible for anyone to persuade them to turn away from their sinful behavior again! (aiōn g165)
6 Xetzaq chi kꞌu junmul, man kuya ta kꞌut kabꞌan chi kꞌakꞌ chike junmul rumal man kuya taj karip chi junmul ri Ukꞌojol ri Dios xa rumal ke aꞌreꞌ.
What those [believers who later renounce the message about Christ do is as though] [MET] they themselves are nailing the Son of God to a cross again! They are causing others to publicly despise Christ.
7 Rumal cher jetaq ta ne ri ulew, kubꞌiqꞌ ri jabꞌ ri kaqaj choch, kꞌa te riꞌ kuya uwach ri utz xuqujeꞌ jeꞌl taq tikoꞌn kech ri ketikowik, kukꞌamawaꞌj ri utewechiꞌbꞌal ri Dios.
Think about this: It is land on which rain has frequently fallen [PRS] and on which plants grow [PRS] that is useful for the people who prepare the land that God has blessed. [Similarly, it is those believers who have received many good things from God and who do good deeds/things that please God, whom God will bless] [MET].
8 Are kꞌu ri ulew ri xaq kꞌix kakꞌiy choch, man kꞌo ta kutayij, xane xaq rayeꞌm ketzelaxik xuqujeꞌ rayeꞌm kaporoxik.
But [what will happen to believers who do deeds/things that do not please God will be like what happens to land] on which [only] thorns and thistles grow [MET]. [Such land] is worthless. It has almost become land that God will curse, and eventually he will burn [its vegetation] [MTY].
9 Are kꞌu ri ix loqꞌalaj taq wachalal, pune jeriꞌ kaqabꞌij chiꞌwe, uchapom qakꞌuꞌx chi man ixtanalinaq taj che ri ikojonem, we riꞌ sibꞌalaj utz kubꞌan chiꞌwe rech jeriꞌ kixkolotajik.
Although I am writing [to you] like this as a [warning], I am certain concerning you whom I love that [you are doing] better than that. Specifically, I am sure that [you are doing] the things that are appropriate [for those whom God] has saved.
10 Rumal cher ri Dios sukꞌ, man kasachan ta ri ichak rech loqꞌanik ri ibꞌanom xuqujeꞌ ri kibꞌan na chikitoꞌik ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq.
Since God always acts justly [LIT], he will not overlook all you have done [for him. He will also not overlook] [MTY] [your showing that you love] him by the way you helped your fellow believers and [by the way you still] help them. [Instead, God will reward you for doing good deeds].
11 Kurayij qanimaꞌ chi xaq jeꞌ kiwilij ubꞌanik ri chak kꞌa pa ri kꞌisbꞌal qꞌij, rech jeriꞌ kikꞌamawaꞌj ri utojbꞌalil.
I very much want each of you to diligently continue to fully expect to receive [what God has provided for you], until you finally [receive everything that you have confidently expected to receive].
12 Man kixux ta saqꞌoribꞌ, xane chiwesaj kiwach ri rumal ri kikojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ayeꞌnik kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri bꞌiꞌtal loq chike.
I do not want you to be lazy. [Instead, I want] you to imitate those who, because they patiently continued to trust in [God], are receiving what he promised them.
13 Rumal cher are taq xubꞌij loq ri Dios che ri Abraham, in katintewechiꞌj na. Rumal kꞌu che ri man kꞌo ta jun rukꞌ kubꞌan wi ri chꞌekom tzij, xubꞌan ri chꞌekom tzij rukꞌ areꞌ pa utukel.
When God promised to [do things for] Abraham, he said that he would punish himself [if he did not do that], because there was no one of greater importance to ask to punish him [if he did not do it].
14 Ri Dios xubꞌij che ri Abraham: Qas tzij katintewechiꞌj na xuqujeꞌ keꞌnkꞌiyarisaj na ri awijaꞌl.
He said [to Abraham], “I will certainly bless you [(sg)], and I will certainly increase [the number of] your [descendants] [SYN].”
15 Ri Abraham xrayeꞌj rukꞌ kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx ri xbꞌix loq che.
As a result, after Abraham patiently waited [for God to do what he promised], he received what [God] promised him.
16 Qas tzij wi ri achyabꞌ kakibꞌan chꞌekom tzij choch jun winaq ri nim reqeleꞌn chikiwach, are kabꞌiꞌtaj jun jastaq kumal, makekwin taj kakitzalij kibꞌ che ri xkibꞌij.
[Keep in mind that when people promise something], they ask a more important person to punish them if they do not do what they promise. Furthermore, when people ask God to punish them [if they do not tell the truth], that causes people who are disputing to stop disputing.
17 Rumal riꞌ ri Dios rumal chi karaj kukꞌut chikiwach ri eꞌchanel chi ri bꞌiꞌtal loq man kꞌo ta jun kakꞌexowik, rumal riꞌ xubꞌan ri chꞌekom tzij.
So, when God wanted to demonstrate very clearly (to us/to those people) who would receive what he had promised that he would not change what he had purposed [to do], he solemnly guaranteed that he would declare himself guilty if he did not do what he promised.
18 Jeriꞌ xubꞌano rech rumal ri bꞌiꞌtal loq xuqujeꞌ ri chꞌekom tzij, are waꞌ kebꞌ jastaq ri man kakꞌexetaj ta wi, rumal cher ri Dios man kubꞌan ta bꞌanoj tzij. Waꞌ we riꞌ kuya ukuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx rumal cher are kaqaj chi ri Dios kujuchajij, xuqujeꞌ qas kuꞌl wi qakꞌuꞌx chi kuya na chaqe ri ubꞌim loq.
He did that to strongly encourage us as a result of our [knowing] that [God has done] two things that cannot change. [Namely, he promised to bless us, and he solemnly declared that he would declare himself guilty if he did not bless us]. We [know] that God, who did those things, cannot lie. We have fled [to him] in order that we might continue confidently to expect to receive what he promised us.
19 Waꞌ we riꞌ qas kubꞌan chaqe chi qas kakubꞌiꞌ qakꞌuꞌx jacha ta ne ri jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ ko xekelik rumal cher ko xeketal rumal ri chꞌichꞌ ri qajinaq pa ri jaꞌ, jewaꞌ ri kꞌulibꞌal kuꞌx ri kok bꞌik chirij ri tasbꞌal ri kꞌo pa ri Ja Qꞌijilaꞌbꞌal Dios.
[Our confidently expecting] [SYN] [to receive what he has promised is like] an anchor [MET] that very firmly [DOU] [holds us fast. The one we confidently expect to help us] [SYN] [is Jesus, who] goes into [God’s very presence, just like the Supreme Priests went] behind the curtain into the innermost [part of the tent in the barren area] [MET].
20 Chilaꞌ xok wi bꞌik ri Jesús rumal qe, are waꞌ ri xbꞌan bꞌik kinimal ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq che, jetaq ri xux ri Melquisedec. (aiōn g165)
Jesus went [into God’s presence] ahead of us [(inc)] to [help] us when he became a Supreme Priest eternally in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest. (aiōn g165)
