< Hebrifo 6 >
1 Momma yennyae Kristo mfiase ho nkyerɛkyerɛ na yensua ne ho nsɛm a ɛkɔ anim no. Ɛho nhia bio sɛ yɛbɛkɔ so akyerɛkyerɛ nea enti a ɛsɛ sɛ yenu yɛn ho wɔ nneyɛe a ɛde owu brɛ yɛn ne nea enti a ɛsɛ sɛ yenya Onyankopɔn mu gyidi no ho.
For this reason, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, we may advance to perfection, not laying again a foundation of conversion from dead works, and of faith on God,
2 Ɛho nhia nso sɛ yɛbɛkɔ so akyerɛkyerɛ asubɔ, nsa a wɔde gu nnipa so, awufosɔre ne daa atemmu ho nsɛm bio. (aiōnios )
of the teaching of immersions, also of laying on of hands, also of [the] resurrection of the dead, and of continuous judgment, (aiōnios )
3 Momma yɛnkɔ yɛn anim! Na sɛ Onyankopɔn ma kwan a saa ara na yɛbɛyɛ.
and this we will do, if God may permit,
4 Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wɔbɛsan de wɔn a wɔahwe ase aba ama wɔanu wɔn ho bio? Na anka wɔwɔ Onyankopɔn hann mu. Wɔkaa ɔsoro akyɛde hwɛe, na wonyaa wɔn kyɛfa wɔ Honhom Kronkron no mu.
for [it is] impossible for those once enlightened, having also tasted of the heavenly gift, and having become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 Wofi osuahu mu ahu sɛ Onyankopɔn asɛm ye, na wɔahu wiase a ɛreba no mu tumi. (aiōn )
and tasted the good saying of God, also the powers of the coming age, (aiōn )
6 Nanso ɛno akyi no wɔhwee ase. Enti ɛyɛ den sɛ wɔde wɔn bɛsan aba bio sɛ wommenu wɔn ho, efisɛ wɔresan abɔ Onyankopɔn Ba no asennua mu nam so agu nʼanim ase akyerɛ.
and having fallen away, to renew [them] again to conversion, having crucified to themselves the Son of God again, and exposed to public shame.
7 Onyankopɔn hyira asase a ɛnom osu a ɛtɔ gu so na ɛma afifide yɛ yie ma wɔn a wɔn nti woduae no.
For the earth, having drunk in the rain coming on it many times, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of whom it is also dressed, partakes of blessing from God,
8 Na sɛ nsɔe ne nwura hunu fifi wɔ so a, enye mma hwee. Onyankopɔn bɛdome no na wɔde ogya asɛe no.
but that which is bearing thorns and briers [is] disapproved of, and near to cursing, whose end [is] for burning;
9 Nanso me nnamfonom, nsɛm a yɛaka yi nyinaa akyi no, yenim pefee sɛ ade pa bi a nkwagye bata ho befi mo mu aba.
but we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things that are better, and accompanying salvation, though even thus we speak,
10 Onyankopɔn nyɛ nea ɔnteɛ. Ne werɛ remfi adwuma a moyɛe anaa ɔdɔ a modaa no adi maa no ne mmoa a mode boaa mo mfɛfo Kristofo na mugu so de boa wɔn no.
for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labor of love that you showed to His Name, having ministered to the holy ones and ministering;
11 Nea yɛrehwehwɛ ne sɛ mo mu biara bɛboa no mmɔdemmɔ so de akosi awiei sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo nsa bɛka ade a mo ani da so no.
and we desire each one of you to show the same diligence, to the full assurance of the hope to the end,
12 Yɛmpɛ sɛ moyɛ anihaw. Na mmom, yɛpɛ sɛ yehu mo sɛ agyidifo a mowɔ boasetɔ na mo nsa aka bɔ a Onyankopɔn ahyɛ mo no.
that you may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.
13 Bere a Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ Abraham bɔ no, ɔkaa nea wahyɛ ho bɔ no ho ntam. Esiane sɛ na obiara nni hɔ a ɔkorɔn sen no no nti, ɔde ɔno ara ne din na ɛkaa saa ntam no.
For God, having made promise to Abraham, seeing He was not able to swear by [any] greater, swore by Himself,
14 Ɔkaa ntam no se, “Mehyɛ wo bɔ sɛ, mehyira wo na mama wʼase adɔ.”
saying, “Blessing I will indeed bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you”;
15 Na Abraham wɔ ntoboase nti, ne nsa kaa bɔ a Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no no.
and so, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise;
16 Sɛ onipa ka ntam a, ɔde obi a ɔkorɔn sen no din na ɛka saa ntam no de siesie nnipa ntam.
for men swear by the greater, and the oath [is] for confirmation of the end of all their controversy,
17 Onyankopɔn pɛɛ sɛ ɔda no adi pefee kyerɛ wɔn a na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn nsa ka ne bɔhyɛ no se ɔrensesa nʼatirimsɛm, nti ɔkaa ntam de hyɛɛ bɔhyɛ no mu den.
in which God, more abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise the immutability of His counsel, interposed by an oath,
18 Saa nneɛma abien yi na ɛrentumi nsesa na Onyankopɔn ntumi nni ho atoro. Enti yɛn a yɛnam ne so anya nkwa no, wɔhyɛ yɛn nkuran sɛ yenso yɛn anidaso no mu yiye.
that through two immutable things, in which [it is] impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong comfort, having fled for refuge, to lay hold on the hope being set before [us],
19 Yɛwɔ saa anidaso yi sɛ ɔkra sɛkyɛ. Etim hɔ, na ɛma yɛhyɛn tra ntwamtam no kosi Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ.
which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and entering into that within the veil,
20 Yesu asi yɛn anan mu adi yɛn kan kɔ hɔ. Wayɛ Ɔsɔfopanyin afebɔɔ sɛnea Melkisedek asɔfokwan nhyehyɛe te no. (aiōn )
to where a forerunner entered for us—Jesus, having become Chief Priest throughout the age after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn )
