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.
Therefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Messiah, let us press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,
2 Ɛho nhia nso sɛ yɛbɛkɔ so akyerɛkyerɛ asubɔ, nsa a wɔde gu nnipa so, awufosɔre ne daa atemmu ho nsɛm bio. (aiōnios g166)
of the teaching of washings, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Momma yɛnkɔ yɛn anim! Na sɛ Onyankopɔn ma kwan a saa ara na yɛbɛyɛ.
And this we will do if God permits.
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 concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165)
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 then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open 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 land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it, and brings forth a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives 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 if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
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, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.
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, so as to forget your work and the love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.
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.
We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even 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 won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited 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 when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself,
14 Ɔkaa ntam no se, “Mehyɛ wo bɔ sɛ, mehyira wo na mama wʼase adɔ.”
saying, "I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you."
15 Na Abraham wɔ ntoboase nti, ne nsa kaa bɔ a Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no no.
Thus, 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 people swear oaths by something greater, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
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 this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with 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 by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
19 Yɛwɔ saa anidaso yi sɛ ɔkra sɛkyɛ. Etim hɔ, na ɛma yɛhyɛn tra ntwamtam no kosi Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ.
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the curtain;
