Hebrews 6
1 Nítorí náà, ó yẹ kí á fi àwọn ẹ̀kọ́ ìgbà tí a ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gba Kristi sílẹ̀, kí á tẹ̀síwájú nínú àwọn ẹ̀kọ́ tí yóò mú wa dàgbàsókè ní pípé. Láìtún ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ bẹ̀rẹ̀ máa tẹnumọ́ ẹ̀kọ́ ìpìlẹ̀ bí i ìrònúpìwàdà kúrò nínú òkú iṣẹ́ àti ìgbàgbọ́ nípa ti Ọlọ́run,
Therefore, leaving the elementary teaching about Christ, let us move on toward perfection, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and trust in God,
2 ti ẹ̀kọ́ àwọn bamitiisi, àti ti ìgbọ́wọ́-léni, ti àjíǹde òkú, àti tí ìdájọ́ àìnípẹ̀kun. (aiōnios g166)
of teaching about baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Èyí ní àwa yóò sì ṣe bí Ọlọ́run bá fẹ́.
We will do this, that is, if indeed God should permit it.
4 Nítorí pé, kò ṣe é ṣe fún àwọn tí a ti là lójú lẹ́ẹ̀kan, tí wọ́n sì ti tọ́ ẹ̀bùn ọ̀run wò, tí wọn sì ti di alábápín Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́,
Because, it is impossible to bring back into repentance those who were once for all enlightened, who have partaken of the heavenly gift and were made sharers in the Holy Spirit,
who have experienced God's good event and capabilities of the coming age, (aiōn g165)
6 láti tún sọ wọ́n di ọ̀tun sí ìrònúpìwàdà bí wọn bá ṣubú kúrò; nítorí tí wọ́n tún kan Ọmọ Ọlọ́run mọ́ àgbélébùú sí ara wọn lọ́tun, wọ́n sì dójútì í ní gbangba.
and yet have fallen away—they would be crucifying the Son of God all over again, just for themselves, holding Him up to contempt.
7 Nítorí ilẹ̀ tí ó ń fa omi òjò tí ń rọ̀ sórí rẹ̀ nígbà gbogbo mu, tí ó sì ń hu ewébẹ̀ tí ó dára fún àwọn tí à ń tìtorí wọn ro ó pẹ̀lú, ń gba ìbùkún lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run.
Now the ground that drinks in the rain that frequently falls on it and produces a crop useful to those for whom it is really cultivated receives blessing from God;
8 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ba ń hu ẹ̀gún àti òṣùṣú yóò di kíkọ̀sílẹ̀, kò si jìnnà sí fífi gégùn ún, òpin èyí tí yóò wà fún ìjóná.
but should it bear thorns and thistles, it is disqualified, almost a curse, whose destiny is a burning.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n olùfẹ́, àwa ní ohun tí ó dára jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, ní tiyín, àti ohun tí ó fi ara mọ́ ìgbàlà, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé à ń ṣe báyìí sọ̀rọ̀.
For all that, dear ones, we are confident of the better things concerning you—things that accompany salvation—even though we speak like this.
10 Nítorí Ọlọ́run kì í ṣe aláìṣòdodo tí yóò fi gbàgbé iṣẹ́ yin àti ìfẹ́ tí ẹ̀yin fihàn sí orúkọ rẹ̀, nípa iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ tí ẹ ti ṣe fún àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, tí ẹ sì tún ń ṣe.
Because God is not unjust so as to ignore your work, even the labor of love you have invested in His name, in that you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.
11 Àwa sì fẹ́ kí olúkúlùkù yín máa fi irú àìsimi kan náà hàn, fún ẹ̀kún ìdánilójú ìrètí títí dé òpin.
You see, we really do want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so as to fulfill the hope;
12 Kí ẹ má ṣe di onílọ̀ra, ṣùgbọ́n aláfarawé àwọn tí wọn ti ipa ìgbàgbọ́ àti sùúrù jogún àwọn ìlérí.
so that you not become lazy, but rather imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 Nítorí nígbà tí Ọlọ́run ṣe ìlérí fún Abrahamu, bí kò ti rí ẹni tí ó pọ̀jù òun láti fi búra, ó fi ara rẹ̀ búra, wí pé,
Now when God made a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself
14 “Nítòótọ́ ní bíbùkún èmi ó bùkún fún ọ, àti ní bíbísí èmi ó sì mú ọ bí sí i.”
saying, “Indeed, blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
15 Bẹ́ẹ̀ náà sì ni, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Abrahamu fi sùúrù dúró, ó ri ìlérí náà gbà.
And so, after he had been patient, he obtained the promise.
16 Nítorí ènìyàn a máa fi ẹni tí ó pọ̀jù wọ́n lọ búra: ìbúra náà a sì fi òpin sí gbogbo ìjiyàn wọn fún ìfẹ̀sẹ̀ múlẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀.
Because since men swear by the greater, and for them the confirming oath puts an end to every dispute,
17 Nínú èyí tí Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ń fẹ́ gidigidi láti fi àìlèyípadà ète rẹ̀ hàn fún àwọn ajogún ìlérí náà, ó fi ìbúra sáàrín wọn.
similarly God, being determined to show even more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchanging nature of His purpose, guaranteed it by an oath,
18 Pé, nípa ohun àìlèyípadà méjì, nínú èyí tí kò le ṣe é ṣe fún Ọlọ́run láti ṣèké, kí a lè mú àwa tí ó ti sá sábẹ́ ààbò rẹ̀ ní ọkàn lè láti di ìrètí tí a gbé kalẹ̀ níwájú wa mú ṣinṣin.
so that by two unalterable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we should have a strong encouragement, we who have taken refuge by grasping the hope set before us;
19 Èyí tí àwa níbi ìdákọ̀ró ọkàn fún ọkàn wa, ìrètí tí ó dájú tí ó sì dúró ṣinṣin, tí ó sì wọ inú ilé lọ lẹ́yìn aṣọ ìkélé;
which hope we have as an anchor for the soul, both certain and secure, actually entering the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
