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 —
To pongah Kri kawng amtuk tangsuekhaih ah kaom kadueh toksakhaih thung hoi dawnpakhuemhaih kawng, Sithaw tanghaih kawng,
2 teaching concerning baptisms and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and a final judgment. (aiōnios g166)
tuinuemhaih kawng, bankoenghaih kawng, kadueh kami angthawk lethaih kawng, dungzan lokcaekhaih kawngnawk to caeh o tak si loe, akoep thai hanah hmabang ah caeh o si boeh. (aiōnios g166)
3 Yes and, with God’s help, we will.
Sithaw mah araem tih nahaeloe, to hmuennawk to a sah o tih hmang.
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,
Aanghaih mah vaito toeh boeh moe, van bang ih tangqum doeh pataengh tangcae, Kacai Muithla ah kaom tangcae,
5 and learned to appreciate the beauty of the Divine Message, and the new powers of the Coming Age — (aiōn g165)
kahoih Sithaw lok doeh pataengh tangcae, angzo han koi thacakhaihnawk doeh pataengh tangcae kaminawk loe, (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.
amtim o ving nahaeloe, nihcae dawnpakhuemsak let hanah angcoeng thai ai boeh; nihcae loe Sithaw Capa to thinglam pongah kangtha ah takhing o let moe, Anih to azat kathok ah a sak o.
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;
A nuiah kakrah khotui kanae long mah lawk tawnkung hanah aan kahingnawk to amprawksak moe, Sithaw khae hoi tahamhoihaih to hnuksak:
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.
toe soekhring hoi phroh khue tacawtsak lawk loe pahnong sut tih, tangoenghaih atue phak tom boeh pongah, hnukkhuem ah to lawk to hmai hoiah thlaek tih.
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.
Toe palung ih ampuinawk, nangcae loe kahoih kue hmuennawk hoi pahlonghaih kaom hmuen bangah na oh o hanah kang koeh o haih pongah, hae tiah lok kang thuih o.
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.
Nangcae loe ciimcai kaminawk khetzawnhaih tok to na sak o, to bak tih amlunghaih toksakhaih rang hoiah Anih ih ahmin to nam tueng o sak, na sak o ih toknawk loe Sithaw mah pahnet ai.
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.
Oephaih hoiah akoep thai hanah boeng khoek to hae tiah tha na pathok o moe,
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.
thasae ai ah tanghaih hoi palungsawkhaih hoiah lokkamhaih qawktoep kaminawk ih hnukbang kami ah na oh o thai boih hanah kang koeh o haih.
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.
Sithaw mah Abraham khaeah lokkamhaih sak naah, angmah pong kalen kue mi doeh om ai pongah, angmah hoi angmah lokkamhaih to sak.
14 His words were — ‘I will assuredly bless thee and increase thy numbers.’
Nang to taham kang hoisak moe, kang pungsak han, tiah a naa.
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the fulfilment of God’s promise.
Abraham mah palungsawkhaih hoiah zing pacoengah, lokkamhaih to a hnuk.
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.
Kaminawk loe angmah pong kalen kue hoiah ni lokkamhaih to sak o: to kacak lokmaihaih mah lok angaekhaihnawk boih to boengsak.
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.
Sithaw loe sak koeh ih hmuen nuiah poek amkhrai thai ai, tiah lokkam ih qawktoep han kaom kaminawk panoeksak hanah, Sithaw mah kacak lokkamhaih to sak:
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.
to hmuen hnetto loe amkhrai thai ai, aicae hma ah suek ih oephaih to patawnh moe, abuep han kacawn aicae mah kalen monghaih a tawnh o thai hanah, Sithaw loe lok amlai thai ai:
19 This hope is a very anchor for our souls, secure and strong, and it ‘reaches into the Sanctuary that lies behind the Curtain,’
to oephaih loe thacak moe, oepthoh, taai ha baktiah kaom sum baktih toengah aicae pakhra anghakhaih ah oh, oephaih loe payang ih kahni thung khoek to akunh;
