Abaebbulaniya 6
1 Noolwekyo tulekeraawo okuyiga ebintu bya Kristo ebisookerwako, tukule mu by’omwoyo. Tulekeraawo okwogera ku bisookerwako byokka, ng’okwenenya ebikolwa ebireeta okufa, by’ebikolwa eby’obulombolombo, naye tuteekwa n’okuba n’okukkiriza mu Katonda.
Therefore having left the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be carried to perfection; not again laying the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 Tulekeraawo okuyigiriza obulombolombo obw’okubatizibwa, n’obw’okussibwako emikono, n’enjigiriza ey’okuzuukira kw’abafu, n’okusalirwa omusango ogw’olubeerera. (aiōnios g166)
of the teaching of baptisms, and of the laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Katonda nga bw’asiima, tukule mu mwoyo.
And we will do this, if God may permit.
4 Kizibu okuzza mu kwenenya abo abaamala okufuna ekitangaala ne balega ku birungi eby’omu ggulu, ne bafuuka abassa ekimu mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu,
For it is impossible that those having been once enlightened, and tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 ne bamanya obulungi bw’ekigambo kya Katonda, ne balega ku maanyi ag’emirembe egigenda okujja, (aiōn g165)
and having tasted the beautiful word of God, and the dynamites of the coming age, (aiōn g165)
6 naye ne bava ku Katonda. Baba bakomerera Omwana wa Katonda omulundi ogwokubiri, ne bamuswaza mu lwatu.
indeed having fallen away, to renew them again unto repentance; having crucified to themselves again the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.
7 Ettaka ligasa omulimi, bwe lifuna obulungi enkuba, ne lisigibwamu ensigo era ne muvaamu ebibala ebirungi. Ne Katonda aliwa omukisa.
For the earth drinking the rain coming often upon her, and bringing forth the herb nutritious to those by whom it is also cultivated, receives blessings from God:
8 Naye bwe libaza amatovu, n’amaggwa, ettaka eryo teriba lya mugaso liba kumpi n’okukolimirwa. Ku nkomerero, ebimezeeko byokebwa.
but that which produces thorns and thistles, is reprobate, and nigh unto the curse; whose end is unto burning.
9 Naye abaagalwa, newaakubadde twogera bwe tutyo mmwe tetubabuusabuusa. Tumanyi nga mulina ebintu ebirungi era mukola ebintu ebiraga nti muli mu kkubo ery’obulokozi.
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things concerning you, and things appertaining to salvation, if indeed we do thus speak.
10 Kubanga Katonda mwenkanya tayinza kwerabira mulimu gwammwe omunene bwe gutyo, n’okwagala kwe mwagala erinnya lye, era amanyi bwe mwaweereza abantu be, era bwe mukyeyongera okubaweereza.
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the divine love which you manifested in his name, having ministered to the saints, and ministering.
11 Era twagala buli omu ku mmwe yeeyongere okulaganga obunyiikivu obwo okutuusiza ddala ku nkomerero, lwe mulifuna ekyo kye musuubira.
But we desire each one of you to exhibit the same diligence unto the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12 Tetwagala mube bagayaavu, wabula mube ng’abo abakkiriza era abagumiikiriza ne bafuna ekyasuubizibwa.
in order that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and longsufferings do inherit the promises.
13 Katonda bwe yasuubiza Ibulayimu, nga bwe wataali mulala gw’ayinza kwerayirira amusinga, yeerayirira yekka.
For God having promised Abraham, since he had no greater one by whom to swear, swore by himself,
14 Yalayira ng’agamba nti, “Ndikuweera ddala omukisa, era n’okukwaza nnaakwazanga.”
saying, If indeed blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee:
15 Bw’atyo Ibulayimu bwe yalindirira n’obugumiikiriza, n’aweebwa ekyasuubizibwa.
and thus having waited long, he received the promise.
16 Abantu balayira omuntu abasinga obukulu, ku nkomerero kye balayidde kye kisalawo.
For men swear by the greater: and an oath of confirmation is to them an end to all controversy:
17 Ne Katonda bw’atyo, kyeyava ateekawo ekirayiro ng’ayagala okukakasiza ddala abasika b’ekisuubizo nti talijjulula ekyo kye yasuubiza.
but God, in this wishing more abundantly to show forth to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18 Katonda yakikola bw’atyo, okutulaga ebintu bibiri ebitajjulukuka, nti akuuma ekisuubizo kye awamu n’ekirayiro kye. Talimba. Noolwekyo ffe abaddukira gy’ali okutulokola, tusaana okuba abagumu kubanga talirema kutuwa ebyo bye yasuubiza.
that through two immutable things in which it was impossible that God should lie, we who have fled may have a strong consolation to lay hold of the hope set before us,
19 Essuubi eryo lye linywereza ddala emmeeme zaffe ng’ennanga bw’enyweza eryato. Essuubi eryo lituyingiza munda w’eggigi.
which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is in the veil,
