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].
A funu kut, oasr un mwet loh na lulap sin mwet lulalfongi inge su raunikutla. Ke ma inge lela kut in sisla ma nukewa ma ikus kut uh, ac ma koluk ma liksreni na sruokkuti, ac lela kut in moniyukyang in kasrusr lasr su oan ye mutasr uh.
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].
Lela kut in suilya na Jesus, su kol kut ac aksuwosye lulalfongi lasr. El finne ac misa fin sakseng a el tiana fuhleak! A ke sripen engan su el akwot nu kac, el pilesrala mwekin lun misa fin sakseng, ac inge el muta lapo layot ke tron lun God.
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.
Nunku ke ma upa ma orek nu sel; ac ma el mutangla ke sripen srunga lulap lun mwet koluk nu sel! Ke ma inge kowos in tia munasla ac fuhleak.
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
Tuh ke kowos alein lain ma koluk, kowos soenna sun alein ma ac oru in anwuki kowos.
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],
Ya kowos mulkunla kas in akku su God El fahk nu suwos ke kowos ma natul? “Wen nutik, kom in arulana loang ke pacl Leum El aksuwosye kom, Ac kom in tia inse toasr ke El kai kom.
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
Tuh Leum El aksuwosye mwet nukewa su El lungse, Ac sang kai nu selos nukewa su El eis tuh in ma natul.”
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].
Kowos in muteng ma kowos keok kac oana kai lun sie papa; keok lowos an akkalemye lah God El orekowos oana ma natul. Mea, na oasr sie tulik ma papa tuma uh tia kai?
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].
Fin tia kaiyuk kowos, oana ke orek nu sin tulik natul nukewa uh, kalmac pa kowos tia ma natul na pwaye, a kowos oana temti.
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]!
Kut fin nunku nu ke papa tumasr fin faclu uh, elos kai kut ac kut sunakunulos na. Ouinge, arulana fal kut in akpusiselye kut nu sin Papa tumasr in Ngun, tuh kut in moul!
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.
Papa tumasr faclu uh elos kai kut ke kitin pacl, fal nu ke liye lalos; a God El kai kut tuh in wo nu sesr, tuh kut in ipeis ke mutal lal.
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.
Ke pacl ma kaiyuk kut uh, kut ac liye oana in ma aksupwarye kut ke pacl sac, ac tia ma in akenganye kut. Tusruktu tok, elos su aksuwosyeyuk ke kain kaiyuk inge elos kosrani moul in misla lun sie moul suwohs.
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
Ke ma inge kowos in asroela po totola lowos, ac akkeyala inti rarrar lowos!
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.
Sikalani in fahsr ke inkanek suwohs, tuh ne osaksak in fah tia munasla, a in kwela.
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
Kowos in srike in moul in misla yurin mwet nukewa, ac srike in moulkin sie moul mutal, mweyen wangin mwet ku in liye Leum el fin tia moul ouinge.
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.
Liyaung tuh kowos in tia forla liki lungkulang lun God. Tia lela kutena suwos in ekla oana soko sak mwen su kapak ac oru kain in lokoalok puspis inmasrlowos.
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.
Nimet lela kutena mwet in moulkin lumah fohkfok lun kosro, ku pilesru moul in ngun in el oana Esau, su kitala mwe usru in wounse lal ke ahlu in mongo se.
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.
Ac tok, oana ke kowos etu, el tuh siyuk papa tumal in akinsewowoyal; tusruktu folokinyukla el mweyen wangin ma el ku in oru in ekulla ma el orala tari, el nwe tung ac suk in wola.
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.
Kowos tia oana mwet Israel, su tuh tuku nu ke ma su elos ku in pula, aok nu Fineol Sinai yen oasr e firir we, ac lohsr lulap, ac eng upa,
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.
ac pusra lulap ke mwe ukuk, ac pusren God ke El kaskas. Ke mwet uh lohng pusra sac elos kwafe tuh elos in tia sifil lohng,
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.
mweyen elos tia ku in muteng ma sapkinyuk nu selos, ma fahk mu, “Kutena mwet, ku finne kosro soko, fin pusralla eol uh, kowos fah tanglal nwe ke el misa.”
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
Ma elos liye inge arulana aksangengyalos, pwanang Moses el fahk, “Sangeng luk uh oru nga rarrar!”
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.
A funu kowos, kowos tuku nu Fineol Zion, ac nu ke siti lun God moul, Jerusalem inkusrao, yen tausin puspis lipufan oasr we.
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].
Kowos tuku nu ke tukeni engan se lun un mwet pangpang wounse nutin God, su inelos simla tari inkusrao. Kowos tuku nu yurin God su nununku mwet nukewa, ac nu yurin ngunin mwet wo su aksuwosyeyukla tari.
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.
Kowos tuku nu yurin Jesus, mwet akiwe su oakiya wuleang sasu inmasrlon God ac mwet uh, ac nu ke srah in aknasnas su kaskas ke ma su wo liki ma srahl Abel tuh kaskas kac.
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]
Ke ma inge kowos liyaung tuh kowos in tia srunga porongo pusren el su kaskas. Elos su tuh srangesr lohng pusren el su fahkak kas lun God fin faclu, elos tuh kofla kaingkunla. Na faska kut — kut ac kaingla fuka kut fin tia lohng el su kaskas inkusrao me!
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.”
In pacl meet ah, pusral osrokak faclu, tusruktu inge El wulela ac fahk, “Ke nga ac sifilpa osrokak faclu, kusrao ac wi pac.”
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.
Kas se inge, “sifilpa” arulana akkalemye lah ma orekla nukewa ac fah usrusryak ac sisila, tuh ma su tia ku in usrusryak in oanna.
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.
Ke ma inge, lela kut in sang kulo, mweyen kut eis tari sie tokosrai su tia ku in mokleyukla. Lela kut in sang kulo ac alu nu sin God ke sie ouiya su ac akinsewowoyal, ke sunak ac arulana akfulatyal;
29 Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
mweyen pwaye lah God lasr El oana sie e ma ku in kunausla ma nukewa.
