Vēstule Ebrējiem 6
1 Tāpēc nerunāsim par tām kristīgām sākuma mācībām, bet dosimies uz to pilnību, ne atkal pamatu likdami ar atgriešanos no nedzīviem darbiem un ar ticību uz Dievu,
Therefore, let us leave behind the elementary teaching about the Christ and press on to perfection, not always laying over again a foundation of repentance for a lifeless formality, of faith in God –
2 Ar mācību par kristību, par roku uzlikšanu, par miroņu augšāmcelšanos, par mūžīgu sodību. (aiōnios g166)
teaching concerning baptisms and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and a final judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Arī to mēs darīsim, ja tikai Dievs to ļauj.
Yes and, with God’s help, we will.
4 Jo tas nevar būt, ka tie, kas vienreiz bijuši apgaismoti un baudījuši tās debesu dāvanas un daļu dabūjuši pie Tā Svētā Gara,
For if those who were once for all brought into the light, and learned to appreciate the gift from heaven, and came to share in the Holy Spirit,
and learned to appreciate the beauty of the divine message, and the new powers of the coming age – (aiōn g165)
6 Un atkāpjas, ka tie atkal varētu tapt atjaunoti uz atgriešanos no grēkiem, jo tie Dieva Dēlu sev atkal krustā sit un liek smieklā.
if those, I say, fell away, it would be impossible to bring them again to repentance; they would be crucifying the Son of God over again for themselves, and exposing him to open contempt.
7 Jo tā zeme, kas iedzer to daudzkārt līstošo lietu un nes derīgu zāli tiem, kuru dēļ tā arī tiek apstrādāta, tā dabū svētību no Dieva.
Ground that drinks in the showers that from time to time fall on it, and produces vegetation useful to those for whom it is tilled, receives a blessing from God;
8 Bet kas ērkšķus un dadžus nes, tā ir nederīga, un tai lāsts ir tuvu, un gals degšanā.
but, if it bears thorns and thistles, it is regarded as worthless, it is in danger of being cursed, and its end will be the fire.
9 Bet no jums, mīļie, mēs ceram ko labāku, un ka dzīsities pēc pestīšanas, jebšu tā runājam.
But about you, dear friends, even though we speak in this way, we are confident of better things – of things that point to your salvation.
10 Jo Dievs nav netaisns, ka Viņš aizmirstu jūsu darbu un to mīlestību, ko esat parādījuši pie Viņa vārda, kad jūs tiem svētiem kalpojāt un vēl kalpojiet.
For God is not unjust; he will not forget the work that you did, and the love that you showed for his name, in sending help to your fellow Christians – as you are still doing.
11 Bet mēs gribam, ka ikviens no jums parāda to pašu uzcītību uz cerības pilnību līdz galam;
But our great desire is that every one of you should be equally earnest to attain to a full conviction that our hope will be fulfilled, and that you should keep that hope to the end.
12 Lai jūs netopat kūtri, bet tiem dzenaties pakaļ, kas caur ticību un pacietīgu gaidīšanu iemanto tās apsolīšanas.
Then you will not show yourselves slow to learn, but you will copy those who, through faith and patience, are now entering upon the enjoyment of God’s promises.
13 Jo kad Dievs Ābrahāmam to apsolīšanu deva, un kad Viņš nevarēja pie nekāda lielāka zvērēt, tad Viņš zvērēja pie Sevis paša,
When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.
14 Sacīdams: patiesi, Es svētīdams tevi svētīšu un vairodams tevi vairošu.
His words were – “I will assuredly bless you and increase your numbers.”
15 Un tā Ābrahāms pacietīgi gaidīdams to dabūja, kas bija apsolīts.
And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the fulfilment of God’s promise.
16 Jo cilvēki zvēr pie kāda lielāka nekā viņi paši, un zvērēšana viņiem nobeidz visu strīdu un ir par apstiprināšanu.
People, of course, swear by what is greater than themselves, and with them an oath is accepted as putting a matter beyond all dispute.
17 Tad nu Dievs, gribēdams tiem apsolīšanas mantiniekiem Savu nepārvēršamo padomu jo skaidri parādīt, zvērēdams vidū nācis;
And therefore God, in his desire to show, with unmistakable plainness, to those who were to enter on the enjoyment of what he had promised, the unchangeableness of his purpose, bound himself with an oath.
18 Ka mēs caur divām nepārvēršamām lietām - jo nevar būt, ka Dievs melotu - dabūtu stipru iepriecināšanu, mēs, kas steidzamies to solīto cerību saņemt;
For he intended us to find great encouragement in these two unchangeable things, which make it impossible for God to prove false – we, I mean, who fled for safety where we might lay hold on the hope set before us.
19 Tā mums ir tā kā uzticīgs un stiprs dvēseles enkurs, kas ieķerās priekškaramā auta iekšpusē.
This hope is an anchor for our souls, secure and strong, and it reaches into the sanctuary that lies behind the curtain,
