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].
Cedawngawh, ningnih ve cingmai amyihna ak sah dyihthing ing anik chung khqi khoep dawngawh ningnih anik kangkhqi boeih ingkaw ak zoei cana ngaih ak kyi sak thawlhnaak ve khawng unawh, ningnih aham a taak law hyt hat qunaak cainaak benna kawdungnaak ing dawng lah u sih.
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].
Ningmih ak cangnaakkung ingkaw ak soep sakkung Jesu ce mik lyl na u sih, a haiawh zeelnaak ce taak na awm hlai hy thinglam tainaak ce yh hy, chahqainaak ce yh nawh Khawsa ngawihdoelh tang benawh ce ngawi hy.
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.
Namik tha hoet nawh namik kaw ama boetnaak aham cemyihna thlakthawlhkhqi a thunkhanaak ak zawk anih ce poek lah uh.
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
Thawlhnaak nami tuk awh, thi ang lawng dyna tuk hlan uhyk ti.
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],
Cakhqi amyihna nangmih a venawh thapeeknaak awih kqawn awm hilh hawh uhyk ti: “Ka Capa, Bawipa a toelnaak ce a mailai na koeh poek, ani zyih awh ce nak kaw koeh boet sak,
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
‘Bawipa ing a lungnaak thlangkhqi ni a toel hy, a cana a taak thlangkhqi boeih ce phep hy”
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].
Kyinaak ce toelnaak amyihna poek lah; Khawsa ing cakhqi amyihna ni ani taak hy. Kawmih a ca nu a pa ing a toel kaana ak awm?
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].
Toel na am nami awm mantaw (thlang boeih toel na awm hy), nangmih taw ca tang tang na am awm u tiksaw caqukkhqi na ni nami awm.
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]!
Ningmih ing ak toelkung thlanghqing pakhqi ni ta boeih unawh cekkhqi ce nik kqihchah uhy. Cawhtaw ikawmyih aih na nu ningnih ang Myihla a Pa venawh ning pe qu nawh ni hqing hly ce!
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.
Ningmih a pakhqi ing ak leek soeih na poeknaak ing kawlhkalh awhkaw ham ni toel khqi hy; ningnih ing amah ciimcaihnaak ak khuiawh ni paa thainaak aham khawsa ing ningnih a leeknaak aham ni toel khqi hy.
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.
Kawmih a toelnaak awm a toel tloek awhtaw am awm hqa hy, tlo hy. Cehlai, a huna taw phep na ak awmkhqi ing dyngnaak ing ngaihdingnaak ce aat uhy.
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
Cedawngawh, tha amak awm nami baankhqi ingkaw namim khukkhqi ce ak tha awm sak lah uh.
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.
Nami khaw lehnaak aham lamkhqi ce ak qip na sai uh,” cedawngawh ni khawk khemkhqi ing ceh thai kaana am awm kawm usaw ami qoei hly lat hy.
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
Thlang boeih mi qoep ang qui cana awm thainaak aham ingkaw ak ciim cana awm aham na mik tha lo lah uh; ciimnaak kaa awhtaw u ingawm Bawipa ce am hu thai kaw.
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.
U ingawm Khawsam qeennaak ce sim kaana ama awmnaak nawh kyinaak ing thlang khawzah ama ciimnaak aham ak kqa ak kha ce a ma cawtnaak aham ngaihta uh.
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.
Nu ingkaw pa thawlh sainaak, Esau amyihna Khawsa sim kaana am nami awmnaak aham ngaihta uh, anih ingtaw caming qo pang hly kawi ce buh khangoet na zawi hy.
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.
Cekcoengawh taw, nami sim amyihna, zoseennaak ce huh aham ngaih lawt hlai hy, am hu thai voel hy. Zoseennaak ce mikphli ing thoeh hlai hy, kawlung am thaw pe thai voel hawh hy.
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.
Bi thai na awm nawh mai na ak kqawng tlang na ce nangmih am law uhyk ti; thannaak, khaw na ak than khawhli;
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.
uut yng awi ingkaw cemyih awipau ak zakhqi ing cemyih ak awi ce a maming zaaknaak voel aham qeennaak thoeh uhy,
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.
kawtih a mingmih a venawh peek na ak awm awi: “Qamsa ing zani tlang ce a leh awhtaw, lung ing khawng aham awm hy,” tinaak awi ce am yh thai uhy.
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
Ni huh awh kqih ham a awm awh, Mosi ing, “Kqih doena thyn hy,” tinawh kqawn hy.
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.
Cehlai nangmih taw Zion Tlang, khan Jerusalem, ak hqing Khawsa a khawk bau na ni nami law hy. Khan ceityih a thong a sang zeel doena a ming cunnaak awh,
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].
Khawk khan na ming qee na ak awm caming a thlangboel a venawh ni nami law hy. Nangmih taw thlang boeih awi ak dengkung, Khawsa, soep sak na amik awm thlakdyngkhqi ang Myihla ing,
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.
simpyikung ak thai dyihthing na ak awm Jesu, Abel a thi anglakawh awi ak leek bet ak kqawn thi ing a syp a venawh ni nami law hy.
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]
Awi ak kqawn ce am nami oelhnaak aham ngaihta uh. Khawmdek awh a mingmih a venawh ngaih taaknaak awi ak kqawn peek thlang ce ami oelh awh ama mi loet awhtaw, khawk khan nakawng ningnih ngaih taaknaak awi ak kqawn law ce ni oelh mantaw ikawmyihna ningnih ing ni loet naak khqoet kaw?
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.”
Cedawngawh ak awi ing khawmdek tyn sak hy, cehlai tuh anih ing, “Tuh khawmdek doeng kang tyn sak voel kaana khan awm tyn sak kawng nyng,” tihy.
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.
“Bai awh” a tinaak awi vetaw tyn thai na ak awm ik-oeihkhqi boeih khoenaak veni – cetaw tyn thai na amak awmkhqi ce a cak naak poe aham ni.
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.
Ningmih ing amak tyn thai qam ce ni huh hawh awh, zeelnaak awi kqawn u sih, kqihchah kawpoek kyinaak do kawi na Khawsa ce bawk u sih,
29 Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
kawtih ningnih a Khawsa taw “Mai na ak kqawng Khawsa ni.
