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, let us leave behind the elementary teaching about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith in 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)
and of instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal 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 it is impossible to renew to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
who have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age, (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 yet have fallen away, since, to their own harm, they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and exposing him 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 land that has drunk the rain that often falls upon it, and produces a crop useful to those for whom it is cultivated, receives a 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 land that bears thorns and thistles is worthless and on the verge of being cursed; its 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.
Even though we speak in this way, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that pertain to salvation.
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 unjust; he will not forget your work and the labor of love that you have shown toward his name by serving the saints, as you still do.
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 want each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope to the very 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.
so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and patience.
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.
When God made his promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself,
14 Ɔkaa ntam no se, “Mehyɛ wo bɔ sɛ, mehyira wo na mama wʼase adɔ.”
saying, “I will surely bless yoʋ and multiply yoʋ.”
15 Na Abraham wɔ ntoboase nti, ne nsa kaa bɔ a Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no no.
And so Abraham, having patiently endured, 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.
People swear by someone greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an 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.
So when God wanted to show the unchangeable nature of his purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, he guaranteed it 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.
so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge would have strong encouragement 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.
We have this hope as a sure and steadfast anchor for the soul. It enters into the inner sanctuary behind the veil,
