< Hebrews 6 >

1 Therefore, let us leave behind the elementary teaching about the Christ and press on to perfection, not always laying over again a foundation of repentance for a lifeless formality, of faith in God —
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏗᎯᏯᏍᎬ ᎠᎴᏅᏙᏗ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵ ᏗᏕᏲᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏂᎦᎷᎶᎬᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏴᏛ ᏫᏗᏰᎢᎶᎦ; ᏔᎵᏁ ᎦᎫᏍᏛᏗ ᏂᏗᎲᏍᎬᎾ ᎦᏁᏟᏴᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏓᏅᏛ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎠᏓᎯᎯᏉ ᏗᎦᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ,
2 teaching concerning baptisms and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and a final judgment. (aiōnios g166)
ᏗᏓᏬᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏗᏕᏲᏅᎯ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᏓᏏᏔᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᏂᏲᎱᏒᎯ ᏧᎾᎴᎯᏐᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᎵᏍᏆᏗᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏗᎫᎪᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ. (aiōnios g166)
3 Yes and, with God’s help, we will.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏅᏓᏓᏛᏁᎵ ᎢᏳᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏱᎦᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸ.
4 For if those who were once for all brought into the Light, and learned to appreciate the gift from Heaven, and came to share in the Holy Spirit,
ᎬᏩᏟᏍᏗᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᎢᎦ ᎨᎦᏗᏍᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᎾᏁᎶᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎦᎸᎶᎢ ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᎠᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎨᎦᏠᏯᏍᏔᏅ ᎨᏥᏁᎸᎯ.
5 and learned to appreciate the beauty of the Divine Message, and the new powers of the Coming Age — (aiōn g165)
ᎠᎴ ᎤᎾᏁᎶᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎵᏍᏆᎸᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, (aiōn g165)
6 if those, I say, fell away, it would be impossible to bring them again to repentance; they would be crucifying the Son of God over again for themselves, and exposing him to open contempt.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏂᏲᏒᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎬᏩᏟᏍᏗ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎢᏤ ᎢᎨᎬᏁᏗᏱ ᎦᏁᏟᏴᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏚᎾᏓᏅᏛ ᏭᏂᎷᎯᏍᏗᏱ; ᎤᏅᏒᏰᏃ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎤᎾᏓᏛᏁᎸᎯ ᎢᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏪᏥ, ᎠᎴ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎬᏩᏕᎰᎯᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎢᎩ.
7 Ground that drinks in the showers that from time to time fall upon it, and produces vegetation useful to those for whom it is tilled, receives a blessing from God;
ᎦᏙᎯᏰᏃ ᏣᏗᏔᏍᎪ ᎠᎹ ᏯᏃ ᎤᎦᎿᎭᏂᎯᎲᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏥᎦᎾᏄᎪᏫᏍᎪ ᎠᏛᏒᎥᏍᎩ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎤᏅᏙᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎦᏙᎯ ᎨᏥᎶᎦᏁᎸᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎾᏛᏁᎰᎢ.
8 but, if it ‘bears thorns and thistles,’ it is regarded as worthless, it is in danger of being ‘cursed,’ and its end will be the fire.
ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎩᏂ Ꮎ ᏥᏍᏚᏂᎩᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎧᏄᎦᎸ ᎠᏛᏍᎬᎢ ᎠᏗᏅᏗᏉ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏍᎦᎢᏍᏗᏱ ᎨᏒ ᎾᎥᏂᏳ ᏄᏍᏗᏕᎪᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎵᏍᏆᎸᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎪᎲᏍᏙᏗ ᏥᎩ.
9 But about you, dear friends, even though we speak in this way, we are confident of better things — of things that point to your Salvation.
ᎠᏎᏃ, ᏂᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ, ᏅᏟᎯᏳ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎢᏨᏴᎾᏁᎭ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᏔᎵ ᎤᏛᏗᏕᎬᎢ, ᎯᎠᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᏃᏥᏪᎭ.
10 For God is not unjust; he will not forget the work that you did, and the love that you showed for his Name, in sending help to your fellow Christians — as you are still doing.
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᏂᏚᏳᎪᏛᎾ ᎢᎬᏩᏛᏁᏗ ᏱᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏩᎨᏫᏍᏗᏱ ᏕᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎸ ᎠᎴ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᏨᏁᎸ ᎢᏥᎨᏳᏒ ᏕᎤᏙᎥᎢ. ᎾᏍᎩ ᏕᏥᏍᏕᎸᎯᏙᎸ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏏᏉ ᏕᏥᏍᏕᎵᏍᎬᎢ.
11 But our great desire is that every one of you should be equally earnest to attain to a full conviction that our hope will be fulfilled, and that you should keep that hope to the end.
ᎠᎴ ᎣᎦᏚᎵᎭ ᏂᏥᎥ ᎢᏥᏏᏴᏫᎭ ᎨᏒ ᎬᎵᏍᏆᏗᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎢᏣᏟᏂᎬᏁᏗᏱ ᎬᏂ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏄᏜᏓᏏᏛᏒᎾ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎬᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏫᏥᏱᎶᎸᎭ;
12 Then you will not show yourselves slow to learn, but you will copy those who, through faith and patience, are now entering upon the enjoyment of God’s promises.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏞᏍᏗ ᎢᏣᏓᏄᎸᏗᏉ ᏱᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᏗᏥᏍᏓᏩᏕᎩᏍᎩᏂ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏃᎯᏳᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏗᏅᏂᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏅᏗᏍᎬ ᎤᎾᏤᎵ ᏄᏅᏁᎸ ᎠᏚᎢᏍᏔᏅᎢ.
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᎤᏚᎢᏍᏓᏁᎸ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎩᎶ ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᎤᏟ ᎢᏯᏥᎸᏉᏗ ᏒᎲ ᎬᏩᏎᎵᏙᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏎᎢ, ᎤᏩᏒ ᎡᎲ ᎤᏎᎵᏙᏔᏁᎢ,
14 His words were — ‘I will assuredly bless thee and increase thy numbers.’
ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎢ, ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏯ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎣᏍᏛ ᏅᏓᎬᏯᏛᏁᎵ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏓᎬᏁᏉᎢ.
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the fulfilment of God’s promise.
ᎰᏩᏃ ᎪᎯᏗᏳ ᎤᎦᏘᏛ ᎠᏥᏁᎴ ᎠᏚᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ.
16 Men, of course, swear by what is greater than themselves, and with them an oath is accepted as putting a matter beyond all dispute.
ᏴᏫᏰᏃ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯ ᎤᏟ ᎢᏯᏥᎸᏉᏗ ᎡᎲ ᎨᎦᏎᎵᏙᏗᏍᎪᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎠᏎᎵᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ( ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ) ᎠᏍᏓᏱᏗᏍᏙᏗ ᎠᏲᎯᏍᏗᏍᎩ ᎨᏐ ᎠᎾᏗᏒᎯᎲᎢ.
17 And therefore God, in his desire to show, with unmistakable plainness, to those who were to enter on the enjoyment of what he had promised, the unchangeableness of his purpose, bound himself with an oath.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏧᏩᏁᏗᏱ ᎨᏥᏚᎢᏍᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏩᏓᏁᏟᏴᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎠᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬᎢ, ᎠᏎᎵᏛᏍᎬ ᎤᏍᏓᏱᏍᏔᏁᎢ.
18 For he intended us to find great encouragement in these two unchangeable things, which make it impossible for God to prove false — we, I mean, who fled for safety where we might lay hold on the hope set before us.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏔᎵ ᏄᎵᏁᏨ ᏕᏛᏗᏍᎬ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏩᏓᏁᏟᏴᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᎿᎭᎬᏩᏥᎪᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎨᎭ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᎠᏴ ᎢᎩᏲᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ ᎢᎦᏗᏍᎦᎶᏗᏱ, ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᎢᎩᎦᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᎩ ᎨᎩᏩᏛᏗ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᎩᏂᏴᏗᏱ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎬᏗ ᎡᎩᏩᏌᏓᏁᎲᎢ;
19 This hope is a very anchor for our souls, secure and strong, and it ‘reaches into the Sanctuary that lies behind the Curtain,’
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎬᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎦᎾᎯᏍᏙᏗ ᏥᎩ, ᎡᏍᎦ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬᎾ ᎠᎴ ᎬᏗᏏᏴᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏩᏴᎯᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏰᏙᎳᏛ ᎤᏗᏗᏢ;
20 where Jesus, our Forerunner, has entered on our behalf, after being made for all time a High Priest of the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
