Hebrifoɔ 6
1 Momma yɛnnyae Kristosom ahyɛaseɛ ho nkyerɛkyerɛ no, na yɛnsua ne ho nsɛm a ɛkɔ anim no. Ɛho nnhia bio sɛ yɛbɛkɔ so akyerɛkyerɛ deɛ enti a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛnu yɛn ho wɔ nneyɛeɛ a ɛde owuo berɛ yɛn ho ne deɛ enti a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛnya Onyankopɔn mu gyidie.
Wherefore leaving the word of the beginning of Christ, let us go on to things more perfect, not laying again the foundation of penance from dead works, and of faith towards God,
2 Ɛho nhia bio nso sɛ yɛbɛkɔ so akyerɛkyerɛ asubɔ, nsa a wɔde gu nnipa so, awufosɔreɛ ne daa atemmuo ho nsɛm. (aiōnios g166)
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and imposition of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Momma yɛnkɔ yɛn anim! Na sɛ Onyankopɔn ma ɛkwan a, saa ara na yɛbɛyɛ.
And this will we do, if God permit.
4 Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wɔbɛsane de wɔn a wɔahwe ase aba ama wɔanu wɔn ho bio? Na anka wɔwɔ Onyankopɔn hann mu. Wɔkaa ɔsoro akyɛdeɛ hwɛeɛ na wɔnyaa wɔn kyɛfa wɔ Honhom Kronkron no mu.
For it is impossible for those who were once illuminated, have tasted also the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Have moreover tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, (aiōn g165)
6 Nanso, ɛno akyi, wɔhwee ase. Enti, ɛyɛ den sɛ wɔde wɔn bɛsane aba bio sɛ wɔmmɛnu wɔn ho, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔresane abɔ Onyankopɔn Ba no asɛnnua mu nam so agu nʼanim ase akyerɛ.
And are fallen away: to be renewed again to penance, crucifying again to themselves the Son of God, and making him a mockery.
7 Onyankopɔn hyira asase a ɛnonom nsuo a ɛtɔ gu so na ɛma ɛso afifideɛ yɛ yie ma wɔn a wɔn enti wɔduaeɛ no.
For the earth that drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God.
8 Na sɛ nkasɛɛ ne wura hunu fifiri so a, ɛnyɛ mma hwee. Onyankopɔn bɛdome no na wɔde ogya asɛe no.
But that which bringeth forth thorns and briers, is reprobate, and very near unto a curse, whose end is to be burnt.
9 Nanso, me nnamfonom, nsɛm a yɛaka yi nyinaa akyi no, yɛnim pefee sɛ ade pa bi a nkwagyeɛ bata ho bɛfiri mo mu aba.
But, my dearly beloved, we trust better things of you, and nearer to salvation; though we speak thus.
10 Onyankopɔn nnyɛ deɛ ɔntene. Ne werɛ remfiri adwuma a moyɛeɛ anaa ɔdɔ a modaa no adi maa no ne mmoa a mode boaa mo mfɛfoɔ Akristofoɔ na mogu so de boa wɔn no.
For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work, and the love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered, and do minister to the saints.
11 Deɛ yɛrehwehwɛ ne sɛ mo mu biara bɛboa no mmɔdemmɔ so de akɔsi awieeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mo nsa bɛka adeɛ a mo ani da so no.
And we desire that every one of you shew forth the same carefulness to the accomplishing of hope unto the end:
12 Yɛmpɛ sɛ moyɛ aniha. Na mmom, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛhunu mo sɛ agyidifoɔ a mowɔ boasetɔ na mo nsa aka bɔ a Onyankopɔn ahyɛ mo no.
That you become not slothful, but followers of them, who through faith and patience shall inherit the promises.
13 Ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ Abraham bɔ no, ɔkaa deɛ wahyɛ ho bɔ no ho ntam. Esiane sɛ na obiara nni hɔ a ɔkorɔn sene no no enti, ɔde ɔno ara ne din na ɛkaa saa ntam no.
For God making promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom he might swear, swore by himself,
14 Ɔkaa ntam no sɛ, “Mehyɛ wo bɔ sɛ, mɛhyira wo na mama wʼase adɔre.”
Saying: Unless blessing I shall bless thee, and multiplying I shall multiply thee.
15 Na Abraham wɔ boasetɔ enti, ɛbɔ a Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no no, ne nsa kaeɛ.
And so patiently enduring he obtained the promise.
16 Sɛ onipa ka ntam a, ɔde obi a ɔkorɔn sene no din na ɛka saa ntam no de siesie nnipa ntam.
For men swear by one greater than themselves: and an oath for confirmation is 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 sɛ ɔrensesa nʼatirimsɛm, enti ɔkaa ntam de hyɛɛ bɔhyɛ no mu den.
Wherein God, meaning more abundantly to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed an oath:
18 Saa nneɛma mmienu yi na ɛrentumi nsesa na Onyankopɔn ntumi nni ho atorɔ. Enti, yɛn a yɛnam ne so anya nkwa no, wɔhyɛ yɛn nkuran sɛ yɛnkura yɛn anidasoɔ no mu den.
That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest comfort, who have fled for refuge to hold fast the hope set before us.
19 Yɛwɔ saa anidasoɔ yi sɛ ɔkra sɛkyɛ. Ɛtim hɔ, na ɛma yɛhyɛne tra ntwamutam no mu kɔsi Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ.
Which we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and which entereth in even within the veil;
