Hebru 12
1 Te dongah mamih khawm ta, laipainah khomai tah mamih aka thing la heyet ana om coeng ta. Hnorhih neh tomban tholhnah te boeih khoe uh. Mamih he thingthuelnah ah n'tawn vanbangla uehnah neh yong uh sih.
So then, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, we too must run with endurance the race that is set before us, laying aside every impediment and the sin that so easily ensnares,
2 Tangnah hmapaikung neh hmakhapkung Jesuh te hmaitang uh sih. Anih loh omngaihnah a tawn coeng dongah yahpohnah thinglam te a hnaep tih a ueh phoeiah Pathen kah ngolkhoel bantang ah ngol.
looking unto Jesus, the Founder and Perfecter of the Faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured a cross, scorning its ignominy, and took His seat at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 hlangtholh rhoek lamloh amah a pakainah thil a ueh te poek uh. Te daengah ni na hinglu te tawnba neh na ko a bawt pawt eh.
Do consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so as not to grow weary, losing courage in your souls.
4 Tholhnah aka hnuei rhoek te a thii hil na oel uh hlan.
In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of bloodshed.
5 Ka ca rhoek bangla nangmih m'voek tih, 'Ka ca,’ tila thaphohnah te na hnilh uh. Boeipa kah hlinsainah te hnoelrhoeng boeh. Amah loh n'toeltham vaengah yawk boeh.
And you have forgotten the exhortation that instructs you as sons: “My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, nor lose heart when you are reproved by Him;
6 Boeipa loh a lungnah te a toel tih ca la a doe boeih te a boh.
because whom the Lord loves He chastens, yes scourges every son whom He accepts.”
7 Pathen loh nangmih te ca la n'bawnhlak bangla hlinsainah khaw ueh uh. Ca aka toel pawh napa te unim?
If you are enduring discipline, God is dealing with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not discipline?
8 Tedae tekah hlinsainah na khueh uh pawt atah halhca la boeih om tih ca la na om uh pawh.
But if you are without discipline (something everyone undergoes), then you are illegitimate and not sons.
9 Te phoeiah ngawn tahpa rhoek te mamih pumsa hlinsaikung la n'khueh uh tih n'yahnah uh. Te dongah mueihla kah pa taengah taoe boengai neh taoe hing boel sih a?
Furthermore, we have had our human fathers as correctors and respected them. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
10 Amih long tah khohnin kolkalh ham a poek uh tarhing ah n'toel uh. Tedae Amah long tah amah kah cimcaihnah te dang sak ham ni mamih n'rhoeikhang sak.
Now they indeed disciplined us during a short period as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, so that we may partake of His holiness.
11 Te dongah hlinsainah a om vaengah ngawn tah omngaihnah pawt tih kothaenah ni tila boeih a poek. Tedae hnukkhueng ah tekah a hlinsai rhangneh duengnah thaihtak te ngaimong la n'thuung.
Now no discipline seems to be pleasant at the time, but painful; yet afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised by it.
12 Te dongah kut aka kha neh khuklu aka hlinghlawk te duel uh.
Therefore strengthen the listless hands and weakened knees,
13 Na kho te caehlong a dueng la saii pah. Te daengah ni aka khaem loh mael pawt vetih lat a hoeih eh.
and make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame not be turned aside but rather be healed.
14 A cungkuem taengah rhoepnah, cimnah neh huul uh. Te nen pawt atah Boeipa te hmu mahpawh.
Pursue peace with all, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord;
15 Khat khaw Pathen kah lungvatnah lamloh talae pawt ham hiphoel uh. Pakhat khaw olkhaa yung aka poe hang loh tulnoi tih te long te muep m'boi sak boel saeh.
taking care that no one come short of the grace of God, that no root of bitterness springing up cause trouble and thereby many be defiled,
16 Pakhat long khaw hlanghalh neh Esau bangla rhonging boel saeh. Anih long te caak kamat la amah kah caming te a thuung.
that no one be a fornicator, or worldly like Esau, who in exchange for one meal gave up his birthright.
17 Yoethennah a hnawt te a tloihsoi ah pang a ngaih te khaw na ming uh. Te dongah te te mikphi neh tlap cakhaw yutnah hmuen a hmuh moenih.
Because you do indeed know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing he was rejected; he found no place for a change of mind, though he sought it diligently with tears.
18 Hmaitak hmai, khomu, khohmuep, rhonu tlanthim, olueng olhum neh olthang ol te phathuep ham na paan uh moenih.
Now you have not come to a touchable mountain burning with fire, to blackness and darkness, to tempest;
19 Te kah te aka ya rhoek loh amih taengah olka a thap pawt ham a bih uh.
to a trumpet blast and spoken words such that those who heard begged that no further word be spoken to them
20 Olpaek te a ueh uh pawt dongah suva long pataeng tlang te a ben atah mat a dae.
(because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain it must be stoned!”
21 Te vaengkah mikhmuh ah mueirhih te om tangloeng tih Moses loh, “Lakueng ngaiha la ka om tih ka thuen,” a ti.
and the sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling!”);
22 Tedae Zion tlang, aka hing Pathen kah kho, vaan Jerusalem, puencawn rhoek a thawng a sang a tingtunnah,
but you have come to Mount Zion, even to the City of the Living God, Heavenly Jerusalem; to myriads of angels in festal gathering,
23 vaan ah minghlum tangtae hlangboel camingomthang neh, a cungkuem kah laitloekkung Pathen taengah, rhuemtuet la aka dueng mueihla taengah,
to an assembly of firstborn ones who have been enrolled in heaven; to God, Judge of all; to the spirits of the perfected righteous;
24 paipi thai kah rhikhangkung Jesuh taengah khaw, Abel lakah khaw a then a thui tih a haeh thii te na paan uh.
to Jesus, Mediator of a new covenant, and to a blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 Nangmih taengah aka thui te na hnawt uh pawt ham ngaithuen uh. Amih loh diklai ah a mangthui te a poenghal pawt atah vaan lamkah te mamih loh m'phaelh tak he muep nah ngai ni ta.
See to it that you not refuse Him who speaks. Because if they did not escape who refused Him who gave divine warning on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from Him who warns from Heaven!
26 A ol loh diklai a hinghoek vaengah ni ana caeng coeng tih, “Diklai bueng pawt tih vaan khaw vai ka hinghuen pueng ni,” a ti coeng.
Then His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth but also the heaven.”
27 Te long te a hinghoek rhoek kah thovaelnah a saii ham te rhenten a thuicaih koep coeng. Te daengah ni aka hinghoek pawt rhoek loh a naeh uh eh.
Now the ‘yet once more’ clearly indicates the removal of the things being shaken (created things), so that the unshakables may remain.
28 Te dongah cakrhuet ram n'dang uh tih lungvatnah te khueh uh sih. Tekah nen te Pathen kah kolo la yahyongnah, hinyahnah neh bawk uh sih.
Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us hold on to the grace by which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear;
29 Mamih kah Pathen tah hmai la rhong taktak coeng.
because our God is indeed a consuming fire.
