< 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 doctrine of the first principles of Messiah, let us press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,
2 ti ẹ̀kọ́ àwọn bamitiisi, àti ti ìgbọ́wọ́-léni, ti àjíǹde òkú, àti tí ìdájọ́ àìnípẹ̀kun. (aiōnios )
of the teaching of washings, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment. (aiōnios )
3 Èyí ní àwa yóò sì ṣe bí Ọlọ́run bá fẹ́.
And this we will do if God permits.
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,
For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 tí wọn sì tọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rere Ọlọ́run wò, àti agbára ayé tí ń bọ̀, (aiōn )
and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn )
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 then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.
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.
For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it, and brings forth a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, 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 if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
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.
But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and 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.
For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.
11 Àwa sì fẹ́ kí olúkúlùkù yín máa fi irú àìsimi kan náà hàn, fún ẹ̀kún ìdánilójú ìrètí títí dé òpin.
We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,
12 Kí ẹ má ṣe di onílọ̀ra, ṣùgbọ́n aláfarawé àwọn tí wọn ti ipa ìgbàgbọ́ àti sùúrù jogún àwọn ìlérí.
that you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited 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,
For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, 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, "I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you."
15 Bẹ́ẹ̀ náà sì ni, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Abrahamu fi sùúrù dúró, ó ri ìlérí náà gbà.
Thus, having patiently endured, 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.
For people swear oaths by something greater, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
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.
In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with 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.
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of 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;
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the curtain;
20 níbi tí Jesu, aṣáájú wa ti wọ̀ lọ fún wa, òun sì ni a fi jẹ alábojútó àlùfáà títí láé ní ipasẹ̀ Melkisedeki. (aiōn )
where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn )
