Hebrews 12
1 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].
Busa, sanglit ginalibotan kita sa usa ka dako nga panon sa mga saksi, atong ilabay ang tanang butang nga makapabug-at kanato ug ang sala nga sayon kaayong naggapos kanato. Magmapailobon kita pagdagan sa lumba nga gibutang sa atong atubangan.
2 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].
Itutok nato ang atong mga mata kang Jesus, ang tinubdan ug maghihingpit sa atong pagtuo, kinsa alang sa kalipay nga gibutang sa iyang atubangan milahutay sa krus, gitamay sa kaulawan, ug naglingkod sa tuong kamot ngadto sa trono sa Dios.
3 [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.
Kay isipa siya nga milahutay sa mga madumtanong pagpamulong nga gikan sa makasasala batok sa iyang kaugalingon, aron nga dili na kamo kapoyan o magmaluya.
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
Wala pa kamo misukol o nakigbisog batok sa sala hangtod nga mawad-an ug dugo.
5 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],
Ug inyong nahikalimtan ang pagdasig nga nagtudlo kaninyo ingon nga mga anak: “Akong anak, hatagi ug dakong pagtagad ang pagpanton sa Ginoo, ni mabugnaw sa dihang badlongon kamo niya.”
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
Kay pantonon sa Ginoo ang bisan kinsa nga iyang gihigugma, ug silotan niya ang matag anak nga iyang gidawat.
7 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].
Paglahutay sa mga pagsulay ingon nga pagpanton. Ang Dios nagtagad kaninyo ingon nga iyang mga anak, kay unsa man ang anak kung ang iyang amahan wala magpanton?
8 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].
Apan kung wala kamoy pagpanton, nga giambitan natong tanan, busa kamo mga anak sa gawas ug dili iyang mga anak.
9 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]!
Dugang pa niini, aduna kita'y mga kalibotanong amahan aron mopanton kanato, ug gitahod nato sila. Dili ba kinahanglan nga mas labaw pa natong tumanon ang Amahan sa espiritu ug magkinabuhi?
10 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.
Kay ang atong amahan tuod man nagpanton kanato sa pipila ka katuigan ingon nga kini matarong alang kanila, apan ang Dios nagpanton kanato alang sa maayo aron nga makaambit kita sa iyang pagkabalaan.
11 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.
Walay pagpanton nga daw maanindot sa kasamtangan apan hinuon sakit gayod. Bisan pa niini, sa ulahi mamunga kini ug malinawon nga bunga sa pagkamatarong alang niadtong mga nabansay pinaagi niini.
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
Busa ipataas ang inyong mga kamot nga nagmaluya ug himoa ang inyong huyang nga mga tuhod nga magmalig-on pag-usab;
13 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.
paghimo ug tul-id nga mga dalan alang sa inyong tiil, aron nga bisan kinsa ang bakol dili mahisalaag apan hinuon mamaayo.
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
Ipadayon ang kalinaw uban sa tanang katawhan, ug usab ang pagkabalaan nga kung wala niini walay bisan usa nga makakita sa Ginoo.
15 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.
Pagbantay aron nga walay bisan usa ang dili malabot sa grasya sa Dios, ug walay gamot sa kasuko ang motubo aron maghimo ug kagubot ug makadaot sa daghan.
16 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.
Pagbantay nga walay malaw-ay nga pakighilawas o dili diosnon nga tawo sama kang Esau, nga alang sa usa lang ka kan-anan gibaligya ang iyang katungod isip magulang.
17 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.
Kay nahibalo kamo nga human niana, sa dihang iyang gitinguha ang pagpanunod sa panalangin, gisalikway siya, tungod kay wala siya nakakaplag ug kahigayonan alang sa paghinulsol uban sa iyang amahan, bisan tuod nangita siya niini sa kakugi inubanan sa mga luha.
18 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.
Kay wala kamo mianhi sa usa ka bukid nga mahikap, bukid sa nagdilaab nga kalayo, sa kangitngit, sa kasubo, ug bagyo.
19 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.
Wala kamo mianhi sa kusog nga dinahunog sa trumpeta, o sa mga pulong gikan sa usa ka tingog nga maoy hinungdan nga ang makadungog niini magpakiluoy nga wala na untay laing pulong ang isulti ngadto kanila.
20 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.
Kay dili sila makakaya kung unsa ang gimando: “Bisan gani kung ang usa ka mananap mohikap sa bukid, kinahanglan batohon kini.”
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
Makalilisang kaayo kini nga talan-awon nga si Moises miingon, “Nalisang ako pag-ayo nga ako nangurog.”
22 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.
Hinuon, mianhi kamo sa Bukid sa Zion ug ngadto sa siyudad sa buhi nga Dios, ang langitnong Jerusalem, ug sa 10, 000 ka mga anghel sa pagsaulog.
23 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].
Mianhi kamo sa panagtigom sa tanang kamagulangang anak nga nalista sa langit, ngadto sa Dios ang maghuhukom sa tanan, ug ngadto sa mga espiritu sa matarong nga gihingpit.
24 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.
Mianhi kamo kang Jesus, ang tigpataliwala sa bag-o nga kasabotan, ug sa giwisikwisik nga dugo nga nagsulti ug mas maayo kaysa dugo ni Abel.
25 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]
Tan-awa nga dili kamo mobalibad sa usa nga nagsulti. Kay kung wala sila miikyas sa dihang mibalibad sila sa usa nga nagpahimangno kanila dinhi sa kalibotan, dili gayod kita maka-ikyas kung mopalayo kita sa usa nga nagpahimangno gikan sa langit.
26 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.”
Nianang panahona ang iyang tingog motay-og sa kalibotan. Apan karon siya nagsaad ug miingon, “Apan sa makausa pa akong tay-ogon dili lamang ang kalibotan, apan usab ang kalangitan.”
27 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.
Kining mga pulonga, “Apan sa makausa pa,” nagpaila sa pagtangtang niadtong mga butang nga natay-og, mao kana, ang mga butang nga nabuhat, aron nga kadtong mga butang diin dili matay-og magpabilin.
28 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.
Busa, sa pagdawat sa gingharian nga dili matay-og, magmapasalamaton kita ug niini nga paagi simbaha ang Dios nga madinawaton uban sa pagtahod ug pagkahadlok,
29 Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
kay ang atong Dios usa ka kalayo nga molukop.
