Hebrews 12
1 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
Ya mere, anyị nwere oke igwe ndị ama dị otu a gbara anyị gburugburu, nʼihi nke a, ka anyị wepụ ihe ọbụla nke na-adọghachi anyị azụ dịka ibu arọ, ya na mmehie niile nọdebere anyị nsọ karịa. Ka anyị werekwa ntachiobi gbaa ọsọ nke chere anyị nʼihu.
2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Ka anyị na-elegide Jisọs anya, onye mbụ na onye na-eme ka okwukwe anyị zuo oke, onye jiri nʼihi ọṅụ e debere nʼihu ya, die ahụhụ na ihe ihere nke obe, ọ nọdụ nʼaka nri nke ocheeze Chineke.
3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you do not grow weary, fainting in your souls.
Tuleenụ nʼobi unu gbasara onye ahụ tachịrị obi na nkwụgide sitere nʼaka ndị mmehie, ka ike ghara ịgwụ unu maọbụ obi unu adaa mba.
4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
Nʼime ọgụ nke unu na-alụso mmehie, unu eguzogideghị ruo nʼọnọdụ nke iwufu ọbara unu.
5 You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, do not take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
Unu echefuola okwu nkasiobi ahụ, nke e jiri gbaa unu ume dịka ụmụ, “Nwa m ewela ịdọ aka na ntị nke Onyenwe anyị dịka ihe dị mfe, mgbe ọ na-ata gị ahụhụ maọbụ daa mba mgbe ọ na-abara gị mba.
6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
Nʼihi na onye Onyenwe anyị hụrụ nʼanya ka ọ na-abara mba. Ọ bụkwa onye ọ nabatara dị ka nwa ya, ka ọ na-apịa ụtarị.”
7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
Tachie obi, mụta ihe site nʼahụhụ. Nʼihi na Chineke na-emeso unu mmeso dị ka nna ọbụla hụrụ ụmụ ya nʼanya si emeso ha mmeso. Nwata ọbụla adịghị nke nna ya na-adịghị abara mba.
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
Ya mere ọ bụrụ na a dịghị abara unu mba dịka esi bara ndị ọzọ, unu abụghị ụmụ kama unu bụ ndị amụtara nʼịkwa iko.
9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
Dịka ịma atụ, ndị bụ nna anyị site nʼanụ ahụ na-apịa anyị ụtarị mgbe ọbụla anyị nupuru isi. Ma nke a adịghị egbochi anyị ịsọpụrụ ha. O kwesikwaghị ka anyị rubere Nna nke mmụọ isi karịa ma dịkwa ndụ? Anyị mee nke a, anyị ga-adị ndụ.
10 For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
Ha na-azụ anyị nwa oge nta dị ka ha si tụpụta nʼuche ha. Ma ọ na-azụ anyị nʼihi ọdịmma anyị. Ọ na-achọ ka anyị keta oke nʼịdị nsọ ya.
11 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Mgbe ọbụla a na-ezi anyị ihe site nʼinye anyị ahụhụ, ọ na-abụrụ anyị ihe mwute nʼoge ahụ, ọ bụghịkwa ihe ọṅụ. Ma e mesịa, ọ na-eweta udo na ndụ ezi omume nye ndụ ahụ azụrụ nʼime ya.
12 Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
Ya mere, setịpụ aka gị ahụ ike gwụrụ. Guzosie ike nʼụkwụ gị ahụ na-ama jijiji.
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
Debenụ ụkwụ unu nʼụzọ ziri ezi, ka ụkwụ na-adịghị ike ghara ịda ngwụrọ, kama ka o nwe ọgwụgwọ.
14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
Gbalịsie ike mee ka gị na mmadụ niile biri nʼudo ya na ndụ dị nsọ, e wepụ ya, o nweghị onye pụrụ ịhụ Onyenwe anyị.
15 looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,
Hụkwanụ na o nweghị onye ga-ahapụ inweta amara Chineke, na o nwekwaghị onye ga-epupụta dịka mgbọrọgwụ ilu weta nsogbu a ga-esi nʼime ya merụọ ọtụtụ mmadụ.
16 lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
Hụnụ na o nweghị onye na-ebi ndụ ruru unyi maọbụ onye nke na-enweghị nsọpụrụ dịka Ịsọ, onye nke rere ọnọdụ ọmụmụ ya nʼihi otu efere nri.
17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
Dịka unu maara, o mechara chọọ ka o keta ngọzị ahụ, ma a jụrụ ya nʼihi na o nweghị ohere nchegharị. Ọ bụ ezie na o jiri anya mmiri chọsie ya ike.
18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
Unu abịarughị nʼugwu nke a pụrụ ịmetụ aka, nke na-ere ọkụ, na ọchịchịrị na itiri na oke ifufe,
19 the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
na ụda opi ike, maọbụ olu na-ekwu okwu, nke ndị nụrụ ya rịọrọ ka ọ kwụsị ịgwa ha.
20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.
Nʼihi na ha enweghị ike ịnagide ihe e nyere nʼiwu, “A sịkwarị na anụmanụ ọbụla emetụ ugwu ahụ ahụ, a ga-eji nkume tugbuo ya.”
21 So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
Nʼezie, ihe ahụ anya hụrụ dị oke egwu na Mosis sịrị, “Ana m ama jijiji nʼihi ụjọ.”
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
Ma unu abịaruola nʼugwu Zayọn, bụ obodo Chineke dị ndụ, Jerusalem nke eluigwe ahụ. Unu abịakwutela puku kwụrụ puku ndị mmụọ ozi a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ zukọrọ nʼọṅụ.
23 to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Unu abịala nʼụlọ nzukọ nke onye ahụ ebu ụzọ mụpụta bụ ndị e dere aha ha nʼeluigwe. Unu abịakwutela Chineke, onye ga-ekpe mmadụ niile ikpe, unu abịakwutela mmụọ ndị ezi omume e mere ka ha bụrụ ndị zuruoke.
24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
Unu abịakwutela Jisọs onye ogbugbo nke ọgbụgba ndụ ọhụrụ, bịakwutekwa ọbara e fesara nke na-ekwu okwu dị mma karịa nke ọbara Ebel kwuru.
25 See that you do not refuse him who speaks. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
Gbalịsienụ ike ihu na unu ajụghị onye ahụ na-ekwu okwu. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ha agbanarịghị ya, bụ onye ahụ dọrọ ha aka na ntị nʼelu ụwa, anyị agaghị agbanarị onye ahụ si nʼeluigwe na-adọ anyị aka na ntị.
26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”
Nʼoge ahụ, olu ya mere ka ụwa ma jijiji, ma ugbu a, ọ kwela nkwa, sị, “Otu mgbe ọzọ fọdụrụ, ọ bụghị naanị ụwa ka m ga-eme ka ọ maa jijiji kama aga m emekwa ka eluigwe maa jijiji.”
27 This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
Okwu a bụ, “Otu mgbe ọzọ fọdụrụ,” na-egosi mwepụ nke ihe na-ama jijiji dịka ihe e kere eke, iji hụ na nke na-anaghị ama jijiji ga-adị.
28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
Ya mere, ebe anyị na-anata alaeze nke na-apụghị ịgbanwe, ka anyị jiri obi ekele, egwu na nsọpụrụ fee Chineke ofufe nʼụzọ ọ ga-anabata.
29 for our God is a consuming fire.
Nʼihi na Chineke anyị bụ ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa.
