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,
τοιγαρουν και ημεισ τοσουτον εχοντεσ περικειμενον ημιν νεφοσ μαρτυρων ογκον αποθεμενοι παντα και την ευπεριστατον αμαρτιαν δι υπομονησ τρεχωμεν τον προκειμενον ημιν αγωνα
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.
αφορωντεσ εισ τον τησ πιστεωσ αρχηγον και τελειωτην ιησουν οσ αντι τησ προκειμενησ αυτω χαρασ υπεμεινεν σταυρον αισχυνησ καταφρονησασ εν δεξια τε του θρονου του θεου κεκαθικεν
3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.
αναλογισασθε γαρ τον τοιαυτην υπομεμενηκοτα υπο των αμαρτωλων εισ αυτον αντιλογιαν ινα μη καμητε ταισ ψυχαισ υμων εκλυομενοι
4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
ουπω μεχρι αιματοσ αντικατεστητε προσ την αμαρτιαν ανταγωνιζομενοι
5 You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
και εκλελησθε τησ παρακλησεωσ ητισ υμιν ωσ υιοισ διαλεγεται υιε μου μη ολιγωρει παιδειασ κυριου μηδε εκλυου υπ αυτου ελεγχομενοσ
6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
ον γαρ αγαπα κυριοσ παιδευει μαστιγοι δε παντα υιον ον παραδεχεται
7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
εισ παιδειαν υπομενετε ωσ υιοισ υμιν προσφερεται ο θεοσ τισ γαρ εστιν υιοσ ον ου παιδευει πατηρ
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
ει δε χωρισ εστε παιδειασ ησ μετοχοι γεγονασιν παντεσ αρα νοθοι εστε και ουχ υιοι
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?
ειτα τουσ μεν τησ σαρκοσ ημων πατερασ ειχομεν παιδευτασ και ενετρεπομεθα ου πολλω μαλλον υποταγησομεθα τω πατρι των πνευματων και ζησομεν
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.
οι μεν γαρ προσ ολιγασ ημερασ κατα το δοκουν αυτοισ επαιδευον ο δε επι το συμφερον εισ το μεταλαβειν τησ αγιοτητοσ αυτου
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.
πασα δε παιδεια προσ μεν το παρον ου δοκει χαρασ ειναι αλλα λυπησ υστερον δε καρπον ειρηνικον τοισ δι αυτησ γεγυμνασμενοισ αποδιδωσιν δικαιοσυνησ
12 Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
διο τασ παρειμενασ χειρασ και τα παραλελυμενα γονατα ανορθωσατε
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
και τροχιασ ορθασ ποιησατε τοισ ποσιν υμων ινα μη το χωλον εκτραπη ιαθη δε μαλλον
14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
ειρηνην διωκετε μετα παντων και τον αγιασμον ου χωρισ ουδεισ οψεται τον κυριον
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,
επισκοπουντεσ μη τισ υστερων απο τησ χαριτοσ του θεου μη τισ ριζα πικριασ ανω φυουσα ενοχλη και δια ταυτησ μιανθωσιν πολλοι
16 lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
μη τισ πορνοσ η βεβηλοσ ωσ ησαυ οσ αντι βρωσεωσ μιασ απεδοτο τα πρωτοτοκια αυτου
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.
ιστε γαρ οτι και μετεπειτα θελων κληρονομησαι την ευλογιαν απεδοκιμασθη μετανοιασ γαρ τοπον ουχ ευρεν καιπερ μετα δακρυων εκζητησασ αυτην
18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
ου γαρ προσεληλυθατε ψηλαφωμενω ορει και κεκαυμενω πυρι και γνοφω και σκοτω και θυελλη
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,
και σαλπιγγοσ ηχω και φωνη ρηματων ησ οι ακουσαντεσ παρητησαντο μη προστεθηναι αυτοισ λογον
20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.
ουκ εφερον γαρ το διαστελλομενον καν θηριον θιγη του ορουσ λιθοβοληθησεται
21 So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
και ουτωσ φοβερον ην το φανταζομενον μωυσησ ειπεν εκφοβοσ ειμι και εντρομοσ
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,
αλλα προσεληλυθατε σιων ορει και πολει θεου ζωντοσ ιερουσαλημ επουρανιω και μυριασιν αγγελων
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,
πανηγυρει και εκκλησια πρωτοτοκων εν ουρανοισ απογεγραμμενων και κριτη θεω παντων και πνευμασιν δικαιων τετελειωμενων
24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
και διαθηκησ νεασ μεσιτη ιησου και αιματι ραντισμου κρειττον λαλουντι παρα τον αβελ
25 See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t 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,
βλεπετε μη παραιτησησθε τον λαλουντα ει γαρ εκεινοι ουκ εφυγον τον επι γησ παραιτησαμενοι χρηματιζοντα πολλω μαλλον ημεισ οι τον απ ουρανων αποστρεφομενοι
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.”
ου η φωνη την γην εσαλευσεν τοτε νυν δε επηγγελται λεγων ετι απαξ εγω σειω ου μονον την γην αλλα και τον ουρανον
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.
το δε ετι απαξ δηλοι των σαλευομενων την μεταθεσιν ωσ πεποιημενων ινα μεινη τα μη σαλευομενα
28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
διο βασιλειαν ασαλευτον παραλαμβανοντεσ εχωμεν χαριν δι ησ λατρευομεν ευαρεστωσ τω θεω μετα αιδουσ και ευλαβειασ
29 for our God is a consuming fire.
και γαρ ο θεοσ ημων πυρ καταναλισκον
