Ibranilərə 12
1 Buna görə bu qədər böyük şahidlər buludu ilə əhatə olunduğumuz üçün biz hər bir yükü və bizi asanlıqla çaşdıran günahı tərk edib qarşımızdakı yarışda dözümlə qaçaq.
We [know about] many people like that [who showed they trusted in God]. They are like a crowd of spectators [who are cheering for us inside a stadium] [MET]. Knowing that, we must put away all the things that hinder us, [as a runner puts aside everything that would hinder him because they are heavy] [MET]. Especially we must put away sinful actions that [hinder us, as a runner] sets aside clothes he does not need, clothes that would entangle him [MET]. Let us [wholeheartedly strive to achieve what God has planned for us, as someone] in a race wholeheartedly runs the course that is before him [MET].
2 Gözümüzü imanımızın Banisi və Kamilləşdiricisi olan İsaya dikək. O, qarşısına qoyulan sevincə görə rüsvayçılığı heç sayıb çarmıxa çəkilməyə tab gətirdi və Allahın taxtının sağında oturdu.
And let us [keep our minds on] Jesus, [as a runner] keeps his eyes on [the goal] [MET]. Jesus is the one we should imitate in the way he perfectly trusted [God. When he died on] the cross he endured it as he suffered greatly [MTY], instead of [thinking about the things he would] rejoice about [later]. He disregarded being disgraced by [dying that way]. He is now sitting at the place of highest honor [MTY] at the throne [where God rules].
3 Günahkarlardan Ona qarşı olan bu qədər düşmənçiliyə dözən Şəxs barəsində düşünün ki, yorulub ruhdan düşməyəsiniz.
[Jesus] patiently endured it when sinful people acted so hostilely against him. Try to act the way he did, so that you do not give up [trusting] God or become discouraged.
4 Günaha qarşı etdiyiniz mübarizədə hələ qan töküləcək qədər möhkəm durmamısınız.
While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
5 Sizə oğul deyib verilən bu nəsihəti unutdunuz: «Oğlum, Rəbbin verdiyi tərbiyəyə xor baxma, Onun məzəmmətindən ruhdan düşmə.
Do not forget [RHQ] these words [that Solomon spoke to his son, that are the same as God] would exhort you as his children: My child, pay attention [LIT] when the Lord is disciplining you, and do not be discouraged when the Lord punishes you [DOU],
6 Çünki Rəbb sevdiyini tərbiyələndirər, Qəbul etdiyi hər oğulu döyər».
because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
7 Tərbiyəyə tab gətirin. Allah sizinlə övladları kimi rəftar edir. Elə bir oğul varmı atası onu tərbiyələndirməsin?
It is in order that God may discipline you that he requires you to endure the disagreeable things [that happen to you]. [When God disciplines you] he is treating you as a father treats his children. All fathers [RHQ] discipline their children [LIT].
8 Hər kəs üçün ümumi olan tərbiyədən məhrum olsanız, deməli, siz oğul yox, qeyri-qanuni övladsınız.
So, if you have not experienced God disciplining you just like he disciplines all his other children, you are [not true children of God] [MET]. [You are like] illegitimate children; [no father disciplines them].
9 Həm də əgər bizi tərbiyələndirən cismani atalarımıza hörmət ediriksə, ruhani Ataya daha çox tabe olaraq yaşamalı deyilikmi?
Furthermore, our natural fathers disciplined us [when we were young], and we respected them for doing that. So we should certainly more readily accept God our spiritual Father disciplining us, with the result that we live eternally [RHQ]!
10 Atalarımız bizi qısa bir müddətə öz dərk etdikləri kimi tərbiyələndirdilər. Amma Allah Onun müqəddəsliyinə ortaq olaq deyə bizi xeyrimiz üçün tərbiyələndirir.
Our natural fathers disciplined us for a short time in a way that they considered right, [but it wasn’t always right], but God always disciplines us [in a right way], to help us. He does it so that we may be holy as he is.
11 Hər tərbiyə isə indiki vaxt sevinc deyil, kədər verən bir şey kimi görünür, amma sonradan bu yolda yetişdirilənlərə salehliyin dinclik səmərəsini hasil edir.
During the time that God is disciplining us, that does not seem to be something about which we should rejoice. Instead, it is something that pains us. But later it causes those who have learned from it to be peaceful and to [live] righteously.
12 Buna görə yorğun əllərinizi qaldırın və zəiflənmiş dizlərinizi gücləndirin.
So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
13 Ayaqlarınız üçün düz yollar seçin ki, axsaq bədən üzvləriniz yerindən çıxmasın, əksinə sağalsın.
Go straight forward [in your Christian life] [MET], in order that believers who are uncertain about their faith [will imitate you] and not ([leave God’s way/] useless [to God]) [MET]. Instead, they will be spiritually restored [MET] as an injured and useless limb is restored.
14 Hamı ilə birlikdə sülh içində yaşamağa və müqəddəs olmağa can atın, çünki müqəddəsliyə nail olmadan heç kim Rəbbi görməyəcək.
Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
15 Diqqət edin ki, heç kim Allahın lütfündən məhrum olmasın, aranızda bir acı kök böyüyüb əziyyət verməsin və bununla bir çoxlarını murdar etməsin.
Beware that none of you stops [trusting in] God, [who has done kind things for us that we did not deserve] (OR, Beware that you have never [experienced] God kindly [saving you]). Be on guard lest any of you [act in an evil way towards others], because your doing that will [grow like] [MET] a root [grows into a big plant], and the result [of your] doing that will be that many believers will sin and become unacceptable to God.
16 Qoy heç kim əxlaqsız və yaxud Esav kimi allahsız olmasın. O, bir qab xörəyə görə öz ilk oğulluq haqqını satdı.
Do not let anyone be immoral, or be irreligious as Esau was. He exchanged the rights he had as a firstborn son for only one meal.
17 Bilirsiniz ki, bundan sonra da o, xeyir-duanı irs olaraq almaq istəyirdi, lakin rədd olundu. Xeyir-duanı göz yaşları ilə axtardısa da, atasının fikrini dəyişməyə qadir olmadı.
You know that after he did that, he wanted to receive [what his father would promise to give him if] he blessed him. But [his father] was unable [to change what he had already done]. And Esau found no way to change things, even though he sought tearfully to do that.
18 Siz toxunula bilən, odla yanan bir şeyə, qaranlığa, zülmətə, qasırğaya,
In coming [to God] you have not [experienced things like what the Israeli people experienced] at [Sinai] Mountain. [They] approached [a mountain that God told them they] should not touch. [They approached] a blazing fire, and it was gloomy and dark [DOU], and there was a hurricane/cyclone.
19 şeypur gurultusuna və kəlam söyləyən səsə yaxınlaşmadınız; o səsi eşidənlər onlara daha bir söz deyilməsin deyə yalvardılar.
They heard a trumpet sounding and they heard [God] speak. The result was that those who heard it pleaded for God not to speak to them like that again.
20 Çünki «əgər dağa bir heyvan belə, toxunsa, o, daşqalaq edilsin» əmrinə tab gətirə bilməzdilər.
When [God] commanded them saying, “If [a person or] even an animal touches this mountain, [you] must [kill him/it by] throwing stones at him/it,” they were terrified.
21 Bu mənzərə o qədər qorxunc idi ki, Musa «mən qorxu və lərzə içindəyəm» dedi.
Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
22 Lakin siz Sion dağına, var olan Allahın şəhərinə – səmavi Yerusəlimə, saysız-hesabsız mələklərə,
Instead, [it is as though] you have come to [the presence of God in heaven] [MET]. [That is like what your ancestors did when they came to worship] God on Zion Hill, in Jerusalem, in the city of God who is all-powerful. You have come (OR, you are coming) to where there are countless angels, who are rejoicing as they have gathered together.
23 göylərdə adları qeyd edilmiş ilk doğulanların ümumi məclisinə və cəmiyyətinə, hamının Hakimi olan Allaha, kamala çatmış salehlərin ruhlarına,
You have joined all the believers [who have privileges like] firstborn sons, whose names [God] has written down in heaven. You have come to God, who will judge everyone. You have come to where the spirits of God’s people are, people who lived righteously [before they died], and who now have been made perfect [in heaven].
24 Yeni Əhdin Vasitəçisi olan İsaya və Habilin qanından daha üstün söz deyən səpilmiş qana yaxınlaşdınız.
You have come to Jesus, who arranged a new covenant [between us and God]. You have accepted [what he accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died on the cross. His doing that made it possible for God to forgive us]. That is better than the blood of Abel, [who just] wanted revenge because his brother Cain murdered him.
25 Bunu Deyəni rədd etməyəsiniz deyə diqqətli olun. Çünki əgər yer üzündə xəbərdarlıq edəni rədd edənlər cəzadan qaça bilmədilərsə, biz göylərdən xəbərdarlıq Edəndən üz döndərsək, cəzadan qaça bilməyəcəyimiz daha çox yəqindir.
Beware that you do not refuse to listen to [God] who is speaking to you. The Israeli people did not escape [God punishing them] when [Moses] (OR, [God]) warned them here on earth. So we shall surely not escape [God punishing us] if we reject him when he warns us from heaven! [RHQ]
26 O vaxt Onun səsi yeri sarsıtdı. Amma indi «Mən bir dəfə də yalnız yeri yox, göyü də lərzəyə gətirəcəyəm» deyə vəd etmişdir.
The earth shook [PRS] then when he spoke [MTY] [at Sinai Mountain]. But now he has promised, “I will shake the earth again, one more time, but I will shake heaven too.”
27 «Bir dəfə də» sözü bunu göstərir: sarsıla bilən, yəni yaradılmış şeylər aradan qaldırılacaq ki, sarsıla bilməyənlər daim var olsunlar.
The words “again, one more time” indicate that things [on earth] will be shaken {that [he] will shake things [on earth]}, meaning that he will set aside all that [he] has created, in order that the things [in heaven] that cannot be shaken {that nothing can shake} may remain forever.
28 Buna görə sarsılmaz Padşahlığa nail olduğumuz üçün minnətdar olaq; belə ki möminlik və ehtiramla Allaha məqbul tərzdə Ona ibadət edək.
So, let us thank God that we are becoming members of a kingdom that nothing can shake. Let us worship/serve God in a way that pleases him by being greatly in awe [DOU] before him.
29 Çünki Allahımız yandırıb-yaxan alovdur.
Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
