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].
ARI, pweki saunkadede pukat, me ras ong dapok kalaimun eu, me kapil pena kitail, kitail en meui sang katoutou patail o dip, me kin kolekole kitail, ap dadaurata tang ni weir, me mi mo’tail.
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].
Ududial Iesus, me tapi pan o kaimwisoke pan atail poson, me sota kotin kupukupure peren me moa, ap kotin kanongama ni lopu, mamaleki kanamenokpa, ap kotidi ni pali maun en mol en Kot.
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.
Komail tamanda i, me wonewei ni kaupa ren me dipan akan, pwe komail ender pangada o ngen omail ender luetala.
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
Pwe komail saikenta kelail ong en palian dip, me kareda kamela.
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],
O komail monokelar kamait pa’mail, me padaki ong komail ni tiak en seri: Nai ol, koe der rongarongan soreki kapung en Kaun o, o der luetalar ni a pan kotin kapung uk ala.
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
Pwe Kaun o kin kotin kame, me a kin pok ong o kin kaloke seri karos, me a pan sapwilimaneki.
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].
A ma komail pan kanongama ong kalokolok, nan Kot kin kotin wiai ong komail duen ong sapwilim a kan. Pwe ia seri men, me sam a sota kin kaloke?
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].
A ma komail sota pan kalokolok dueta irail karos, nan kaidin komail seri, pwe sota sam omail.
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]!
A ma sam atail en pali uduk kaloke kitail er, o kitail masak irail, iaduen, kitail sota pan peik kaualap ong Sam en ngen akan, pwen memaur kila?
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.
Pwe irail kaloke kitail ran me malaulau, duen insen arail, a i pwen kamaui kitail la, pwe kitail en tungole kisan a saraui.
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.
A kalokolok karos kaidin likamata peren, ni a pan lel ong kitail, pwe insensued, a mur a pan kareda wan pung o popol ong ir me anlar.
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
Komail ari kakelada pa o pukie omail luet akan.
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.
O kakeki wei nä omail, pwe me sikilikil ender pirokala sang al o, a ren kelailada.
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
Nantiong popol ong amen amen o saraui; a ma so, sota me pan kak kilang Kaun o.
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.
O kalaka, pwe amen depa sota konodi mak en Kot, pwe karepen me sued ende pwaida, kawe komail, o me toto pan samin kila.
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.
Pwe sota me pan nenek, de me sued amen due Esau, me netikila a soso ni kisin manga ta ieu.
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.
Pwe komail asa, duen muri, ni a men ale pai, a lokidokilar, pwe a sota kak diar ansaun kalula, me a roporopeki pil en mas a.
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.
Pwe komail sota lel nana, me aramas kak doke, o me ingkingkon, o pil sota lel wasa rotorot, o wasa pong, o melimel.
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.
Pil sota lel ngil laud en koronete, de maod en lokaia, me irail, me rongadar, poeki, ender pur ong.
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.
Pwe re sota kak ong rong: O pil man amen, ma a pan sair nana o, a pan pakasuk.
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
Iduen kasansal a kamasak melel, pwe Moses masanier: I ap lomwineki o rerer.
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 komail leler nana Sion, o kanim en Kot ieias, Ierusalem en lang, o pokon en tounlang ngederenia,
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].
O momodisou meseni, me mar arail kileledier nanlang, o ren Kot saunkapung en karos, o ren ngen en me pung kan me unsokelar.
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.
O ren Iesus sauntom en inau kap o ntan usup, me mau sang en Apel.
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]
Komail kalaka, pwe komail depa sikinwei, me kin mamasani. Pwe ma irail sota kak pitila, me sikin wei i, me kotin padapadak ong irail nin sappa, nan melel, kitail sota pan kak pitila, ma kitail pan sikin wei i, me masan dong kitail sang nanlang.
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.”
I ansau o kapitie kamokidada sappa. A met a kotin inauki masani: I pan pil kamokidada kaidin sappa eta, pwe pil nanlang.
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.
A iet wewe en: I pan pil: Me mokidadar pan kawukila, pwe iei dipisou me wiauier, pwen ir, me sota kamokidada, en mimieta.
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.
Kitail pan ale wei eu, me sota pan kak mokidada, i me kitail en dodok ong Kot duen me kon ong i, ni makelekel o masak.
29 Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
Pwe atail Kot kisiniai ngkon.
