< 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.
Therefore having left the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be carried to perfection; not again laying the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 Ɛho nhia bio nso sɛ yɛbɛkɔ so akyerɛkyerɛ asubɔ, nsa a wɔde gu nnipa so, awufosɔreɛ ne daa atemmuo ho nsɛm. (aiōnios )
of the teaching of baptisms, and of the laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios )
3 Momma yɛnkɔ yɛn anim! Na sɛ Onyankopɔn ma ɛkwan a, saa ara na yɛbɛyɛ.
And we will do this, if God may 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 that those having been once enlightened, and tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 Wɔfiri osuahunu mu ahunu sɛ Onyankopɔn asɛm yɛ, na wɔahunu ewiase a ɛreba no mu tumi. (aiōn )
and having tasted the beautiful word of God, and the dynamites of the coming age, (aiōn )
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.
indeed having fallen away, to renew them again unto repentance; having crucified to themselves again the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.
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 drinking the rain coming often upon her, and bringing forth the herb nutritious to those by whom it is also cultivated, receives blessings 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 produces thorns and thistles, is reprobate, and nigh unto the curse; whose end is unto burning.
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, beloved, we are persuaded better things concerning you, and things appertaining to salvation, if indeed we do thus speak.
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 unrighteous to forget your work and the divine love which you manifested in his name, having ministered to the saints, and ministering.
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.
But we desire each one of you to exhibit the same diligence unto the full assurance 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.
in order that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and longsufferings do 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 having promised Abraham, since he had no greater one by whom to swear, swore by himself,
14 Ɔkaa ntam no sɛ, “Mehyɛ wo bɔ sɛ, mɛhyira wo na mama wʼase adɔre.”
saying, If indeed blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee:
15 Na Abraham wɔ boasetɔ enti, ɛbɔ a Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no no, ne nsa kaeɛ.
and thus having waited long, he received 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 the greater: and an oath of confirmation is to them an end to all 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.
but God, in this wishing more abundantly to show forth to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by 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 through two immutable things in which it was impossible that God should lie, we who have fled may have a strong consolation to lay hold of 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, both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is in the veil,
20 Yesu asi yɛn ananmu adi yɛn ɛkan kɔ hɔ. Wayɛ Ɔsɔfopanin afebɔɔ sɛdeɛ Melkisedek asɔfokwan nhyehyɛeɛ te no. (aiōn )
whither Jesus the forerunner has entered in our behalf, having been made a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn )
