Hebrews 6
1 Wherefore, leaving the word of the beginning of the Christ, let us go on [to what belongs] to full growth, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God,
Na, kati tatou te korero i nga timatanga o ta te Karaiti ako, hoake tatou ki te tino tikanga; kaua e tuaruatia te whakatakoto i te turanga, ara i te ripeneta ki nga mahi mate, i te whakapono hoki ki te Atua,
2 of [the] doctrine of washings, and of imposition of hands, and of resurrection of [the] dead, and of eternal judgment; (aiōnios g166)
I te whakaako ki nga iriiri, ki te whakapanga o nga ringaringa, ki te aranga o nga tangata mate, ki te whakawakanga mutungakore. (aiōnios g166)
3 and this will we do if God permit.
A ka meatia ano tenei e tatou ki te tukua e te Atua.
4 For it is impossible to renew again to repentance those once enlightened, and who have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of [the] Holy Spirit,
Ko te hunga hoki kua oti te whakamarama, kua pa ki te mea i homai i runga i te rangi, kua whiwhi ki te Wairua Tapu,
Kua kitea ano te pai o ta te Atua kupu, me nga mea kaha o te ao meake nei puta; (aiōn g165)
6 and have fallen away, crucifying for themselves [as they do] the Son of God, and making a show of [him].
Ki te taka atu ratou, e kore ratou e taea te whakahou ake ki te ripeneta; ka ripekatia houtia hoki te Tama a te Atua e ratou nei ano, ka meinga hoki kia tawaia nuitia.
7 For ground which drinks the rain which comes often upon it, and produces useful herbs for those for whose sakes also it is tilled, partakes of blessing from God;
Ko te whenua hoki e inu nei i te ua honohono te heke ki runga ki a ia, a e mea ana i te otaota pai kia tupu ake ma te hunga i mahia ai, ka whiwhi ki ta te Atua manaaki:
8 but bringing forth thorns and briars, it is found worthless and nigh to a curse, whose end [is] to be burned.
Ki te tupuria ia e te tataramoa, e te tumatakuru, ka whakakinoa, ka tata ki te kanga: ko tona whakamutunga ka tahuna.
9 But we are persuaded concerning you, beloved, better things, and connected with salvation, even if we speak thus.
Otiia ahakoa penei noa ta matou korero, e u ana ano to matou whakaaro, e oku hoa aroha, ki nga mea pai ke atu kei a koutou, he mea hoki mo te whakaoranga.
10 For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work, and the love which ye have shewn to his name, having ministered to the saints, and [still] ministering.
E kore hoki te Atua e he, e wareware ki ta koutou mahi, ki te uaua o to koutou aroha, i whakakitea mai e koutou ki tona ingoa, i a koutou i atawhai i te hunga tapu, a ka atawhai nei ano.
11 But we desire earnestly that each one of you shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end;
Otiia e hiahia ana matou kia whakakitea taua uaua na ano e tenei, e tenei o koutou, kia taea rawatia te pumautanga o te whakaaro i tumanako ai koutou a te Mutunga ra ano:
12 that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience have been inheritors of the promises.
Kia kaua e puhoi, engari kia rite ki ta te hunga i whakapono, i whakamanawanui, a riro mai ana i a ratou nga mei i whakaaria mai.
13 For God, having promised to Abraham, since he had no greater to swear by, swore by himself,
I ta te Atua whakaaringa mea ki a Aperahama, i te mea kahore tetahi i nui ake hei oatitanga, ka oatitia e ia a ia ake ano,
14 saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;
Ka mea, Ina, ka manaakitia rawatia koe e ahau, ka whakanuia rawatia ano hoki koe.
15 and thus, having had long patience, he got the promise.
Heoi whakamanawanui ana ia, a riro ana i a ia te kupu whakaari.
16 For men indeed swear by a greater, and with them the oath is a term to all dispute, as making matters sure.
Ko te mea nui ake hoki ta nga tangata e waiho ai hei oati: a ki a ratou hei mutunga mo nga whakahokihoki kupu katoa te oati whakau.
17 Wherein God, willing to shew more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his purpose, intervened by an oath,
No reira, i te mahara o te Atua kia tino whakakitea ki te hunga mo ratou nei te kupu whakaari te pumau o tona whakaaro, ka whakaurua mai e ia he oati,
18 that by two unchangeable things, in which [it was] impossible that God should lie, we might have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us,
Kia rua ai nga mea pumau, he mea e kore ai e ahei kia teka te Atua, ma reira ka kaha ai he whakamarie mo tatou, mo te hunga kua rere ki te pupuri i te mea e takoto mai nei i te aroaro, e tumanakohia atu nei:
19 which we have as anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into that within the veil,
Hei punga ano tenei ma tatou mo te wairua, he tumanako mau tonu, u tonu, tae tonu atu ano hoki ki te mea i roto i te arai;
