VaHebheru 6
1 Naizvozvo ngatisiyei dzidziso dzokutanga pamusoro paKristu uye tipfuurire mberi mukukura, tisingaisizve nheyo dzokutendeuka kubva pamabasa anotungamirira kurufu, uye nokutenda muna Mwari,
Wherefore, leaving the first principles of Christian doctrine, let us progress toward maturity, not laying again the foundation concerning reformation from dead works, and faith toward God--
2 dzidziso pamusoro pokubhabhatidzwa nedzokuisa maoko pamusoro, dzokumuka kubva kuvakafa, uye nedzokutongwa kusingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
concerning the doctrine of immersions, and of imposition of hands, of a resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment; (aiōnios g166)
3 Uye kana Mwari achitendera, ndizvo zvatichaita.
for this we will do, if God permit.
4 Nokuti hazvigoni kuti vaya vakambovhenekerwa, vaya vakamboravira chipo chokudenga, vakagoverwa Mweya Mutsvene,
For it is impossible to renew again to reformation those who have been once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age which was to come, (aiōn g165)
6 kuti vatendeukezve mushure mokunge vatsauka, nokuti pakurasikirwa kwavo vanorovererazve Mwanakomana waMwari, vachimunyadzisa pachena.
and yet have fallen away, crucifying again to themselves the Son of God and exposing him to contempt.
7 Nyika inonwa mvura inonaya nguva nenguva pamusoro payo uye inobereka zvirimwa zvinobatsira avo vanoirima, ndiyo inoropafadzwa naMwari.
For the land that drinks in the rain, which often comes upon it, and brings forth herbs, fit for them by whom it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God:
8 Asi nyika inobereka minzwa norukato haibatsiri uye ine dambudziko rokuti ichatukwa. Pakupedzisira ichapiswa.
but that which produces thorns and briers, is reprobated, and nigh to a curse; whose end is to be burned.
9 Kunyange zvazvo tichitaura sezvizvi, hama dzinodikanwa, tinoziva kwazvo kuti kwamuri kuchabva zvinhu zviri nani, zvinhu zvinoshanda pamwe chete noruponeso.
But, beloved, we hope better things of you, even things which are connected with salvation, though we thus speak.
10 Mwari haazi asina kururama; haangakanganwi basa renyu norudo rwamakamuratidza pamaibatsira vanhu vake uye kuti muchiri kuramba muchivabatsira.
For God is not unrighteous, to forget your work, and the love which you have showed toward his name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11 Tinoda kuti mumwe nomumwe wenyu ave nokushingaira kumwe cheteko kusvikira kumagumo, kuitira kuti muve nechokwadi chetariro yenyu.
Yet, we earnestly desire every one of you to show the same diligence, in order to the realizing of this hope, to the end--
12 Hatidi kuti muve simbe, asi kuti muve vateveri vaavo vanodya nhaka yakavimbiswa kubudikidza nokutenda nokutsungirira.
that you may not be slothful, but imitators of them who, through faith and patience, are inheriting the promises.
13 Mwari paakaita vimbiso yake kuna Abhurahama, sezvo kwakanga kusina mumwe mukuru kwaari wokuti angapika naye, akapika naiye amene,
For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself--
14 achiti, “Zvirokwazvo ndichakuropafadza uye ndichakupa zvizvarwa zvizhinji.”
saying, "Surely, blessing, I will bless you, and multiplying, I will multiply you";
15 Uye mushure mokumirira nomwoyo murefu, Abhurahama akagamuchira chipikirwa.
and so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.
16 Vanhu vanopika nomukuru kwavari, uye mhiko ndiyo inosimbisa zvinenge zvataurwa, uye inopedza gakava rose.
For men, indeed, swear by the greater; and an oath for confirmation is, to them, an end of all contradiction.
17 Nokuti Mwari aida kuti aratidze pachena kusashanduka kwechido chake kuvadyi venhaka yakapikirwa, akakusimbisa nemhiko.
Therefore, God, willing more abundantly to show to their heirs of promise the immutability of his purpose, confirmed it with an oath;
18 Mwari akaita izvi kuitira kuti, nezvinhu zviviri zvisingashanduki, zvokuti Mwari haagoni kureva nhema, isu vakatiza tikandobatisisa tariro yatakapiwa, tichasimbiswa zvikuru.
that, by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled away to lay hold on the hope set before us;
19 Tine tariro iyi sechibatiso choMweya, chakasimba chisingazungunuswi. Inopinda mukati mechidzitiro chomutemberi,
which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and entering into the place within the vail,
