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].
Emomiyo ka koro oganda maduongʼ mar joneno opie molworowa ka bor polo kama, to wan bende wawituru gimoro amora ma watingʼo manyalo duodowa e wuoth, kaachiel gi richo mora amora manyalo duodowa e ngimawa, koro waringuru matek ma ok waol e ngʼwech moseketwae.
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].
Wachomuru wangʼwa kuom Yesu, ma en jachak kendo jachop yie marwa. Nikech nogeno yudo mor mane oikne ni nonwangʼ achien, nochayo tho malit mar msalaba ka ok odewo wichkuot ma tho ma kamano kelo, kendo koro obet piny e bat korachwich mar kom duongʼ mar Nyasaye.
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.
Paruru kuome, en ma notimo kinda ka joricho kedo kode, mondo kik ujogi mi chunyu aa.
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
E lweny mukedoe gi richo, pok ukedo mi rembu ochwer piny.
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],
Koso wiu osewil gi weche mag jip ma Nyasaye wuoyogo kodu kaka nyithinde niya, “Wuoda kik ikaw kum ma Ruoth kumigo ka gima nono, kendo kik chunyi jogi ka okweri,
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
nimar Jehova Nyasaye kumo ngʼama ohero, kendo nyathine mohero ema ochwado.”
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].
Ka uyudo chandruok to beduru modhil nikech mano e yo ma Nyasaye puonjougo kaka nyithinde. Bende nitie nyathi ma wuon ok nyal kumo?
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].
Kapo ni un ok wuonu kumu kaka okumo nyithinde mamoko duto, to mano nyiso ni un kimirwa kendo ok un nyithinde mahie.
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]!
Waduto wan gi wuonewa e piny ka ma kumowa to eka pod wamiyogi mana luor. Koro donge onego wawinj Wuonwa mar chuny moloyo, mondo eka wabed mangima?
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.
Wuonewa mag piny-ka ne kumowa mana kuom kinde matin kaka giparo ni bernegi, to Nyasaye to kumowa mondo okonywa, kodwaro ni mondo wadok maler mana kaka en bende oler.
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.
Ka ngʼato yudo kum to ok onyal winjo maber nikech owinjo rem. To bangʼ kosekum ngʼato to opuonjore mi ngimane nyag olemo mar tim makare kod kwe.
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
Kuom mano jingʼuru bedeu mobengore gi chongeu monyosore.
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.
Losuru yore muluwo mondo oriere tir, eka tiendeu malit nochangi.
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
Temuru matek mondo udag gi ji duto gi kwe, kendo mondo ngimau obed maler, nikech ka ngʼato onge gi ngima maler to ok none Ruoth.
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.
Ritreuru mondo une ni onge ngʼato kuomu molal kendo oweyo ngʼwono mar Nyasaye, kendo kik uwe sigu moro bedi e kindu manyalo ketho ji mangʼeny.
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.
Neuru ni onge ngʼato kuomu ma jachode, kata ngʼama ochayo Nyasaye kaka Esau ma wach chiemo michamo dichiel nomiyo owilo duongʼne kaka wuowi makayo.
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.
Ungʼeyo ni bangʼe achien ka nodwaro mondo wuon mare ogwedhe to ne okwede. Noywak malit gi pi wangʼe mondo oyud gwethni to mano ok ne nyal loko paro mar wuon-gi kata matin.
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.
Ngʼeuru ni uchungʼ kama opogore gi kama jo-Israel nochungʼie. Ok uchungʼ e tie got minyalo mul gi lwedo kata kama mach kaknie kendo mudho mandiwa gi ongʼwengʼo oumo,
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.
ooyo, kama uchungʼie ok en kama iwinjoe koko mar turumbete maywak, kod dwol ma wuoyo to ok ne, ma joma nowinjo wechene noywagore ni kik ochak owuo kodgi kendo,
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.
nikech ne ok ginyal winjo chik mane Nyasaye omiyogi niya, “Ka chiayo moro ochopo e tiend godni to nyaka chiel gi kite.”
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
Gima ne jo-Israel oneno ne lich mokadho mi Musa nowacho niya, “Luoro omaka.”
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.
Un to usebiro e Got Sayun, e Jerusalem manie polo, ma en dala maduongʼ mar Nyasaye mangima. Useriworu gi malaike gana gi gana mochokore e nyasi mar mor
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].
e kanisa mar wuowi ma kayo, ma nyingegi ondik e polo. Usebiro ir Nyasaye, ma en jangʼad bura ni ji duto; bende usebiro ir chunje mag joma kare, makoro osedoko malongʼo chutho,
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.
usebiro ir Yesu ma en jathek mar singruok manyien, bende usebiro gi remo mokir ma wuoyo kuom gik mabeyo moloyo remb 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]
Neuru ni ok utamoru winjo dwond Jal ma wuoyo kodu. Nikech ka gin bende ne ok gitony kane gidagi winjo dwond Musa mane osiemogi e piny-ka, wan to koro dwatony nade ka wadagi winjo Jal masiemowa gie polo?
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.”
E kindeno dwonde noyiengo piny, to koro sani osesingore niya, “Abiro chako yiengo piny kendo. To ok anayieng piny kende, to anayieng polo bende.”
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.
Wach mar “kendo” nyiso ni Nyasaye biro golo oko gik mayiengni manyalo wuok, ma gin gik mochwe mondo gik ma ok nyal yiengni ema odongʼ kosiko.
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.
Emomiyo wagouru erokamano ne Nyasaye nikech wasenwangʼo pinyruoth manyien ma ok nyal yiengni. Chunywa mondo omi Nyasaye duongʼ kod luor, kendo walame e yo modwaro, ka wapongʼ gi kibaji,
29 Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
nikech “Nyasachwa en mach matieko gik mowangʼo chuth.”
