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.
Let us then, leaving the first principles of the doctrine of Christ, press on to perfection; not laying again 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 g166)
of the doctrine of baptisms, and of the laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Momma yɛnkɔ yɛn anim! Na sɛ Onyankopɔn ma ɛkwan a, saa ara na yɛbɛyɛ.
And this we will 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 that those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and been make partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and have 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 have fallen away, should again be renewed to repentance, since they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to 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 which hath drunk in the rain that cometh often upon it, and beareth plants useful to those for whose sake 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 if it bear thorns and briers it is disapproved, and is near to being accursed; and its end is to be burned.
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 of you, and things that are connected with salvation, though 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 unjust so as to forget your work, and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered and are still ministering 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.
But we earnestly desire that every one of you may show the same diligence with regard to the full assurance of your hope even to 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 ye may not become slothful, but imitators of those who through faith and endurance 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 when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself,
14 Ɔkaa ntam no sɛ, “Mehyɛ wo bɔ sɛ, mɛhyira wo na mama wʼase adɔre.”
saying, “Surely 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 so, having endured with patience, he obtained the promised blessing.
16 Sɛ onipa ka ntam a, ɔde obi a ɔkorɔn sene no din na ɛka saa ntam no de siesie nnipa ntam.
For men indeed swear by one who is greater, and the oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
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.
Wherefore God, wishing more abundantly to show to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, 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 by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon 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 hope we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, and which entereth within the veil;
