Men Ipru 12
1 ARI, pweki saunkadede pukat, me ras ong dapok kalaimun eu, me kapil pena kitail, kitail en meui sang katoutou patail o dip, me kin kolekole kitail, ap dadaurata tang ni weir, me mi mo’tail.
Therefore let us also, who have all these witnesses surrounding us like clouds, cast from us all encumbrances, and sin, which is always prepared for us; and let us run with patience the race that is appointed for us.
2 Ududial Iesus, me tapi pan o kaimwisoke pan atail poson, me sota kotin kupukupure peren me moa, ap kotin kanongama ni lopu, mamaleki kanamenokpa, ap kotidi ni pali maun en mol en Kot.
And let us look on Jesus, who hath become the commencement and the completion of our faith; who, on account of the joy there was for him, endured the cross, and surrendered himself to opprobrium; and is seated on the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Komail tamanda i, me wonewei ni kaupa ren me dipan akan, pwe komail ender pangada o ngen omail ender luetala.
Behold, therefore, how much he suffered from sinners, from them who are adversaries of their own soul, that ye may not be discouraged, nor your soul become remiss.
4 Pwe komail saikenta kelail ong en palian dip, me kareda kamela.
Ye have not yet come unto blood, in the contest against sin.
5 O komail monokelar kamait pa’mail, me padaki ong komail ni tiak en seri: Nai ol, koe der rongarongan soreki kapung en Kaun o, o der luetalar ni a pan kotin kapung uk ala.
And ye have forgotten the monition, which saith to you, as to children, My son, disregard not the chastening of the Lord; nor let thy soul faint, when thou art rebuked by him.
6 Pwe Kaun o kin kotin kame, me a kin pok ong o kin kaloke seri karos, me a pan sapwilimaneki.
For, whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth; and he scourgeth those sons, for whom he hath kind regards.
7 A ma komail pan kanongama ong kalokolok, nan Kot kin kotin wiai ong komail duen ong sapwilim a kan. Pwe ia seri men, me sam a sota kin kaloke?
Therefore endure ye the chastisement; because God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there, whom his father chasteneth not?
8 A ma komail sota pan kalokolok dueta irail karos, nan kaidin komail seri, pwe sota sam omail.
But if ye are without that chastisement, with which every one is chastened, ye are become strangers and not sons.
9 A ma sam atail en pali uduk kaloke kitail er, o kitail masak irail, iaduen, kitail sota pan peik kaualap ong Sam en ngen akan, pwen memaur kila?
And if our fathers of the flesh chastened us, and we revered them, how much more ought we to be submissive to our spiritual fathers, and live?
10 Pwe irail kaloke kitail ran me malaulau, duen insen arail, a i pwen kamaui kitail la, pwe kitail en tungole kisan a saraui.
For they chastened us for a short time, according to their pleasure; but God, for our advantage, that we may become partakers of his holiness.
11 A kalokolok karos kaidin likamata peren, ni a pan lel ong kitail, pwe insensued, a mur a pan kareda wan pung o popol ong ir me anlar.
Now all chastisement, in the time of it, is not accounted a matter of joy, but of grief: yet, afterwards, it yieldeth the fruits of peace and righteousness to them who are exercised by it.
12 Komail ari kakelada pa o pukie omail luet akan.
Wherefore, strengthen ye your relaxed hands, and your tottering knees:
13 O kakeki wei nä omail, pwe me sikilikil ender pirokala sang al o, a ren kelailada.
and make straight paths for your feet, that the limb which is lame may not be wrenched, but may be healed.
14 Nantiong popol ong amen amen o saraui; a ma so, sota me pan kak kilang Kaun o.
Follow after peace with every man; and after holiness, without which a man will not see our Lord.
15 O kalaka, pwe amen depa sota konodi mak en Kot, pwe karepen me sued ende pwaida, kawe komail, o me toto pan samin kila.
And be careful, lest any be found among you destitute of the grace of God; or lest some root of bitterness shoot forth germs, and trouble you; and thereby many be defiled:
16 Pwe sota me pan nenek, de me sued amen due Esau, me netikila a soso ni kisin manga ta ieu.
or lest any one be found among you a fornicator; or a heedless one like Esau, who for one mess of food, sold his primogeniture.
17 Pwe komail asa, duen muri, ni a men ale pai, a lokidokilar, pwe a sota kak diar ansaun kalula, me a roporopeki pil en mas a.
For ye know that, afterwards when he wished to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found not a place for repentance, although he sought it with tears.
18 Pwe komail sota lel nana, me aramas kak doke, o me ingkingkon, o pil sota lel wasa rotorot, o wasa pong, o melimel.
For ye have not come to the fire that burned, and the tangible mount; nor to the darkness and obscurity and tempest;
19 Pil sota lel ngil laud en koronete, de maod en lokaia, me irail, me rongadar, poeki, ender pur ong.
nor to the sound of the trumpet, and the voice of words, which they who heard, entreated that it might no more be spoken to them;
20 Pwe re sota kak ong rong: O pil man amen, ma a pan sair nana o, a pan pakasuk.
for they could not endure what was commanded. And even a beast, if it approached the mountain, was to be stoned.
21 Iduen kasansal a kamasak melel, pwe Moses masanier: I ap lomwineki o rerer.
And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I fear and tremble.
22 A komail leler nana Sion, o kanim en Kot ieias, Ierusalem en lang, o pokon en tounlang ngederenia,
But ye have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the Jerusalem that is in heaven; and to the assemblies of myriads of angels;
23 O momodisou meseni, me mar arail kileledier nanlang, o ren Kot saunkapung en karos, o ren ngen en me pung kan me unsokelar.
and to the church of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven and to God the judge of all; and to the spirits of the just, who are perfected;
24 O ren Iesus sauntom en inau kap o ntan usup, me mau sang en Apel.
and to Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant; and to the sprinkling, of his blood, which speaketh better than that of Abel.
25 Komail kalaka, pwe komail depa sikinwei, me kin mamasani. Pwe ma irail sota kak pitila, me sikin wei i, me kotin padapadak ong irail nin sappa, nan melel, kitail sota pan kak pitila, ma kitail pan sikin wei i, me masan dong kitail sang nanlang.
Beware, therefore, lest ye refuse to hear him who speaketh with you. For if they escaped not, who refused to hear him who spake with them on the earth, how much more shall we not, if we refuse to hear him who speaketh with us from heaven?
26 I ansau o kapitie kamokidada sappa. A met a kotin inauki masani: I pan pil kamokidada kaidin sappa eta, pwe pil nanlang.
Whose voice then shook the earth; but now he hath promised, and said, yet again once more, I will shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 A iet wewe en: I pan pil: Me mokidadar pan kawukila, pwe iei dipisou me wiauier, pwen ir, me sota kamokidada, en mimieta.
And this his expression, Once more, indicateth the mutation of the things that are shaken, because they are fabricated; that the things which will not be shaken, may remain.
28 Kitail pan ale wei eu, me sota pan kak mokidada, i me kitail en dodok ong Kot duen me kon ong i, ni makelekel o masak.
Since, therefore, we have received a kingdom that is unshaken, let us grasp the grace whereby we may serve and please God, with reverence and fear.
29 Pwe atail Kot kisiniai ngkon.
For our God is a consuming fire.
