Ibraniyawa 12
1 Bara nani tunda nati kilin nin gbardang ligozi niyizu inba, nati filin vat nimon igetek ile na iba ti nari tisu kulapi, seng kunodino nari, na tisu ucum nin nshau kibinai ile na ina ceo nbun bite.
Therefore, surrounded as we are by such a vast cloud of witnesses, let us fling aside every encumbrance and the sin that so readily entangles our feet. And let us run with patient endurance the race that lies before us,
2 Na ti ceo iyizi bite kitin Yesu, unan kelu nin ti nlau nyinnu sa uyenu bite, ulenge na ulanzu nmang iwa ceo nbun mye, a tere kibinai nin niu, uraini nin nlanzu ncinn, amini wa so ncara uleme kuteet tigo Kutelle.
simply fixing our gaze upon Jesus, our Prince Leader in the faith, who will also award us the prize. He, for the sake of the joy which lay before Him, patiently endured the cross, looking with contempt upon its shame, and afterwards seated Himself-- where He still sits--at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Bara iwa yeneghe ulenge na awa teru kibinai nin nliru unanzang kiti nanan kulapi udu litime, sa nworu uwa dira sa kibinai tifi tenene.
Therefore, if you would escape becoming weary and faint-hearted, compare your own sufferings with those of Him who endured such hostility directed against Him by sinners.
4 Fe udak nene usa nari sa usu nnono nin kulapi udu kubi na uba gutunu nmii.
In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted so as to endanger your lives;
5 Fe umini nshawa ukpinu nagang uta munu nafo nono, “gono nigh na uwa yassu uhoro Kutelle ba, sa kidowo kuffi kubi na utana amini nkele fi”
and you have quite forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as sons, and which say, "My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's discipline, and do not faint when He corrects you;
6 Bara Kutelle din su uhoro nlenge na adinin su mye, akuru a kpizo gono kanga na ki sereghe.
for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines: and He scourges every son whom He acknowledges."
7 Tere kibinai nin dumunu nafo uhorori, Kutelle din su nin ghinu nafo nono mye, bara kame gonari duku ulenge na ucif mye din sughe uhoro ba?
The sufferings that you are enduring are for your discipline. God is dealing with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
8 Bara asa idi sa uhoro, ulenge na vat bite ba se nanye, anug ba lawa nono nihem ana nin mye ba.
And if you are left without discipline, of which every true son has had a share, that shows that you are bastards, and not true sons.
9 Ukpinue ku, tidinin nacif nanya inyulele idin su nari uhro tinani di dortu nani, na tiba durtu ucif bite kang unan nfip nin nlai ya?
Besides this, our earthly fathers used to discipline us and we treated them with respect, and shall we not be still more submissive to the Father of our spirits, and live?
10 Bara acif bite asa usu nari uhoro kubi baat, nafo na uso nani gegeme, bara Kutelle asa asu nari uhoro tinana yita gegeme, tinan koso nlai ligowe.
It is true that they disciplined us for a few years according as they thought fit; but He does it for our certain good, in order that we may become sharers in His own holy character.
11 Na adin lanzu nmang nhoro ba kube ba, bara nani udin konu, vat nin nani udu nbune asa uda nin nsheu, a kiden kiti nalenge na ina dursuzo nani.
Now, at the time, discipline seems to be a matter not for joy, but for grief; yet it afterwards yields to those who have passed through its training a result full of peace--namely, righteousness.
12 Bara nani ghantinan acara mine ale na adira, allung mine na ata yototo, kpinan anin agang tutun.
Therefore strengthen the drooping hands and paralysed knees,
13 Taan tibau nabunu mine ddrt, bara vat nlenge na adi ugurgu na iwa tighe alasin ba, bara nani ashin.
and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put entirely out of joint
14 Suun lisosin lisheu nan nanit vat, ikuru iso lau, twa dira nlau, na bi bayenu ciklare ba.
but may rather be restored. Persistently strive for peace with all men, and for that growth in holiness apart from which no one will see the Lord.
15 Suun seghe bara na ina kalla among nanya nse naliheri Kutella ba, nin wonu na iwa so litino ngwagwai nayi na liba bamum tinanzang, nin bunkurunu gbardang.
Be carefully on your guard lest there be any one who falls back from the grace of God; lest any root bearing bitter fruit spring up and cause trouble among you, and through it the whole brotherhood be defiled;
16 Suun seghe na iwase unan nzina, sa unan sali ndortu Kutelle nafo Isuwa, ulenge bara imonli awa lewu ugadu ngono nfari.
lest there be a fornicator, or an ungodly person like Esau, who, in return for a single meal, parted with the birthright which belonged to him.
17 Bara inung yiru nin woro uka kidughe, kubi na awa ti kibinai nworu ase ugadu nmare, iwa nazughe mun, bara na awa se kubi nworu adiu ucife kutyin ba, vat nin woru awa pizuru kang nin nmizin.
For you know that even afterwards, when he wished to secure the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no opportunity for undoing what he had done, though he sought the blessing earnestly with tears.
18 Bara na anug wa dak likup na isa idudo, likup nlii nlah, nsirti, bibit nin ngurzunu.
For you have not come to a material object all ablaze with fire, and to gloom and darkness and storm and trumpet-blast and the sound of words--
19 Na anug wa dak inan pee awulu/Alantun sa tigbulang nanya liwui, na tiba ti alenge na idin latizu linin isu kucikusu, nworu na awa kuru abellin nani ntong tigbulan nlira ba.
a sound of such a kind that those who heard it entreated that no more should be added.
20 Bara na iwanya ilatiza uleli uduka ba, “Assa ko finawa ntene nduldo likuppe, iba filisu fi nin natala.
For they could not endure the order which had been given, "Even a wild beast, if it touches the mountain, shall be stoned to death;"
21 Bara imon fiu wari wadi na Musa wa woro “meng fiu wadai ntunna nketuzu.
and so terrible was the scene that Moses said, "I tremble with fear."
22 Nin nani iwa dak litala Nurushalima, nin ndu kagbir Kutelle nlai, Urushalima kitene kani, a nono kadura Kutelle amui likure di nanya nbuki.
On the contrary you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the ever-living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless hosts of angels,
23 Ina ni na dak kiti nzuru vat nono npari na tisaa mine di kitene kani, kiti Kutelle unan nwucu kidegen vat, a udu nfip nanit alau alenge na idi dedei.
to the great festal gathering and Church of the first-born, whose names are recorded in Heaven, and to a Judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,
24 Inani na dak kiti Yesu ule na adi kiyitik nalikwali apese, nin nzamunu nmii mongo na midi nliruwe katin unmii Habila.
and to Jesus the negotiator of a new Covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks in more gracious tones than that of Abel.
25 Yenjen iwa nari ulenge na adi nliruwe, bara asa na isorto ba kubi na inari ulenge na idin gbaru munu nanya inye, arike kidegen na tiba sortu ba tiwa kpilin nin kidung kiti nlenge na adi kitene kani.
Be careful not to refuse to listen to Him who is speaking to you. For if they of old did not escape unpunished when they refused to listen to him who spoke on earth, much less shall we escape who turn a deaf ear to Him who now speaks from Heaven.
26 Nkoni kube liwui mye ba zillinu uye, bara nene ame nasu nari alikawali a woro “udak nene meng ba zillinu na uye cas ba, tutun nin kitene kani”.
His voice then shook the earth, but now we have His promise, "Yet again I will, once for all, cause not only the earth to tremble, but Heaven also."
27 Tigbulang tone “tukunna ukpinne ku” ndursu ukalla nimon ile na idin zilluwe, ilenge imone na ina ke ininin, bara ilenge imone na ina zillin inin ba ilawa ku.
Here the words "Yet again, once for all" denote the removal of the things which can be shaken--created things--in order that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Bara nani, useru kpin tigo kanga na kiwasa kizillino ba, na arike su ugodiya, nin nanya nani ti tumuzun Kutelle nin nyinnu nin fiu a uni ndia.
Therefore, receiving, as we now do, a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us cherish thankfulness so that we may ever offer to God an acceptable service, with godly reverence and awe.
29 Bara Kutelle bite ulari un kileo.
For our God is also a consuming fire.
