Hebrews 12
1 And therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses over our head, laying aside every weight and sin which surrounds us, let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us:
atO hEtOrEtAvatsAkSimEghai rvESTitAH santO vayamapi sarvvabhAram AzubAdhakaM pApanjca nikSipyAsmAkaM gamanAya nirUpitE mArgE dhairyyENa dhAvAma|
2 Looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who having joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand of the throne of God.
yazcAsmAkaM vizvAsasyAgrEsaraH siddhikarttA cAsti taM yIzuM vIkSAmahai yataH sa svasammukhasthitAnandasya prAptyartham apamAnaM tucchIkRtya kruzasya yAtanAM sOPhavAn IzvarIyasiMhAsanasya dakSiNapArzvE samupaviSTavAMzca|
3 For think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself; that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds.
yaH pApibhiH svaviruddham EtAdRzaM vaiparItyaM sOPhavAn tam AlOcayata tEna yUyaM svamanaHsu zrAntAH klAntAzca na bhaviSyatha|
4 For you have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin:
yUyaM pApEna saha yudhyantO'dyApi zONitavyayaparyyantaM pratirOdhaM nAkuruta|
5 And you have forgotten the consolation, which speaketh to you, as unto children, saying: My son, neglect not the discipline of the Lord; neither be thou wearied whilst thou art rebuked by him.
tathA ca putrAn pratIva yuSmAn prati ya upadEza uktastaM kiM vismRtavantaH? "parEzEna kRtAM zAstiM hE matputra na tucchaya| tEna saMbhartsitazcApi naiva klAmya kadAcana|
6 For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth; and he scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
parEzaH prIyatE yasmin tasmai zAstiM dadAti yat| yantu putraM sa gRhlAti tamEva praharatyapi|"
7 Persevere under discipline. God dealeth with you as with his sons; for what son is there, whom the father doth not correct?
yadi yUyaM zAstiM sahadhvaM tarhIzvaraH putrairiva yuSmAbhiH sArddhaM vyavaharati yataH pitA yasmai zAstiM na dadAti tAdRzaH putraH kaH?
8 But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are made partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.
sarvvE yasyAH zAstEraMzinO bhavanti sA yadi yuSmAkaM na bhavati tarhi yUyam AtmajA na kintu jArajA AdhvE|
9 Moreover we have had fathers of our flesh, for instructors, and we reverenced them: shall we not much more obey the Father of spirits, and live?
aparam asmAkaM zArIrikajanmadAtArO'smAkaM zAstikAriNO'bhavan tE cAsmAbhiH sammAnitAstasmAd ya AtmanAM janayitA vayaM kiM tatO'dhikaM tasya vazIbhUya na jIviSyAmaH?
10 And they indeed for a few days, according to their own pleasure, instructed us: but he, for our profit, that we might receive his sanctification.
tE tvalpadinAni yAvat svamanO'matAnusArENa zAstiM kRtavantaH kintvESO'smAkaM hitAya tasya pavitratAyA aMzitvAya cAsmAn zAsti|
11 Now all chastisement for the present indeed seemeth not to bring with it joy, but sorrow: but afterwards it will yield, to them that are exercised by it, the most peaceable fruit of justice.
zAstizca varttamAnasamayE kEnApi nAnandajanikA kintu zOkajanikaiva manyatE tathApi yE tayA vinIyantE tEbhyaH sA pazcAt zAntiyuktaM dharmmaphalaM dadAti|
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees,
ataEva yUyaM zithilAn hastAn durbbalAni jAnUni ca sabalAni kurudhvaM|
13 And make straight steps with your feet: that no one, halting, may go out of the way; but rather be healed.
yathA ca durbbalasya sandhisthAnaM na bhajyEta svasthaM tiSThEt tathA svacaraNArthaM saralaM mArgaM nirmmAta|
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness: without which no man shall see God.
aparanjca sarvvaiH sArtham EkyabhAvaM yacca vinA paramEzvarasya darzanaM kEnApi na lapsyatE tat pavitratvaM cESTadhvaM|
15 Looking diligently, lest any man be wanting to the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up do hinder, and by it many be defiled.
yathA kazcid IzvarasyAnugrahAt na patEt, yathA ca tiktatAyA mUlaM praruhya bAdhAjanakaM na bhavEt tEna ca bahavO'pavitrA na bhavEyuH,
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau; who for one mess, sold his first birthright.
yathA ca kazcit lampaTO vA EkakRtva AhArArthaM svIyajyESThAdhikAravikrEtA ya ESaustadvad adharmmAcArI na bhavEt tathA sAvadhAnA bhavata|
17 For know ye that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected; for he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had sought it.
yataH sa ESauH pazcAd AzIrvvAdAdhikArI bhavitum icchannapi nAnugRhIta iti yUyaM jAnItha, sa cAzrupAtEna matyantaraM prArthayamAnO'pi tadupAyaM na lEbhE|
18 For you are not come to a mountain that might be touched, and a burning fire, and a whirlwind, and darkness, and storm,
aparanjca spRzyaH parvvataH prajvalitO vahniH kRSNAvarNO mEghO 'ndhakArO jhanjbhza tUrIvAdyaM vAkyAnAM zabdazca naitESAM sannidhau yUyam AgatAH|
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard excused themselves, that the word might not be spoken to them:
taM zabdaM zrutvA zrOtArastAdRzaM sambhASaNaM yat puna rna jAyatE tat prArthitavantaH|
20 For they did not endure that which was said: And if so much as a beast shall touch the mount, it shall be stoned.
yataH pazurapi yadi dharAdharaM spRzati tarhi sa pASANAghAtai rhantavya ityAdEzaM sOPhuM tE nAzaknuvan|
21 And so terrible was that which was seen, Moses said: I am frighted, and tremble.
tacca darzanam EvaM bhayAnakaM yat mUsasOktaM bhItastrAsayuktazcAsmIti|
22 But you are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the company of many thousands of angels,
kintu sIyOnparvvatO 'marEzvarasya nagaraM svargasthayirUzAlamam ayutAni divyadUtAH
23 And to the church of the firstborn, who are written in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect,
svargE likhitAnAM prathamajAtAnAm utsavaH samitizca sarvvESAM vicArAdhipatirIzvaraH siddhIkRtadhArmmikAnAm AtmAnO
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood which speaketh better than that of Abel.
nUtananiyamasya madhyasthO yIzuH, aparaM hAbilO raktAt zrEyaH pracArakaM prOkSaNasya raktanjcaitESAM sannidhau yUyam AgatAH|
25 See that you refuse him not that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke upon the earth, much more shall not we, that turn away from him that speaketh to us from heaven.
sAvadhAnA bhavata taM vaktAraM nAvajAnIta yatO hEtOH pRthivIsthitaH sa vaktA yairavajnjAtastai ryadi rakSA nAprApi tarhi svargIyavaktuH parAgmukhIbhUyAsmAbhiH kathaM rakSA prApsyatE?
26 Whose voice then moved the earth; but now he promiseth, saying: Yet once more, and I will move not only the earth, but heaven also.
tadA tasya ravAt pRthivI kampitA kintvidAnIM tEnEdaM pratijnjAtaM yathA, "ahaM punarEkakRtvaH pRthivIM kampayiSyAmi kEvalaM tannahi gaganamapi kampayiSyAmi|"
27 And in that he saith, Yet once more, he signifieth the translation of the moveable things as made, that those things may remain which are immoveable.
sa EkakRtvaH zabdO nizcalaviSayANAM sthitayE nirmmitAnAmiva canjcalavastUnAM sthAnAntarIkaraNaM prakAzayati|
28 Therefore receiving an immoveable kingdom, we have grace; whereby let us serve, pleasing God, with fear and reverence.
ataEva nizcalarAjyaprAptairasmAbhiH sO'nugraha AlambitavyO yEna vayaM sAdaraM sabhayanjca tuSTijanakarUpENEzvaraM sEvituM zaknuyAma|
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
