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 —
Konsa, nan kite enstriksyon elemantè sou Kris la, annou pouse de lavan vè matirite. Nou p ap poze ankò yon fondasyon repantans ki soti nan zèv mò yo, ak lafwa anvè Bondye,
2 teaching concerning baptisms and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and a final judgment. (aiōnios g166)
lenstriksyon sou lave ak poze men yo, rezirèksyon a mò yo ak jijman etènèl la. (aiōnios g166)
3 Yes and, with God’s help, we will.
Tout sa nou va fè si Bondye kite l fèt.
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,
Paske nan ka a sila ki, yon fwa, te eklere yo, ki te goute kado selès la, ki te vin patisipan nan Lespri Sen yo,
5 and learned to appreciate the beauty of the Divine Message, and the new powers of the Coming Age — (aiōn g165)
te goute bon pawòl Bondye a ak pouvwa a tan k ap vini an, (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.
e ki answit, te vin tonbe, se enposib pou renouvle yo ankò a repantans, paske yo ankò krisifye pou kont yo Fis Bondye a e ekspoze Li a lawont piblik.
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;
Paske tè ki bwè lapli ki tonbe souvan sou li a, e ki pote plant ki itil a sila k ap kiltive tè a, resevwa benediksyon a Bondye.
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.
Men si li pote pikan ak zepeng, li san valè e prèt pou vin madichonnen, e fini pa brile.
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.
Men byeneme yo, nou konvenk de pi bon bagay konsènan nou menm yo, bagay ki akonpanye Sali yo, malgre se konsa n ap pale.
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.
Paske Bondye pa enjis pou Li ta bliye travay nou ak lanmou ke nou montre anvè non Li, ke nou te bay e kontinye ap bay a sen yo.
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.
Nou dezire ke nou chak montre menm dilijans lan pou nou kapab gen yon espwa ranpli nan asirans konplè jiska lafen,
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.
pou nou pa vin mou, men rete imitatè a sila ki, atravè lafwa ak tenasite, te vin eritye pwomès yo.
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.
Paske lè Bondye te fè pwomès la a Abraham, akoz ke Li pa t kapab sèmante pa okenn pi gran, Li te sèmante pa pwòp tèt Li.
14 His words were — ‘I will assuredly bless thee and increase thy numbers.’
Li te di: “Byensi Mwen va beni ou, e byensi, Mwen va miltipliye nou.”
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the fulfilment of God’s promise.
Konsa, nan tann li avèk anpil andirans, Abraham te resevwa pwomès la.
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.
Paske moun toujou sèmante pa yon moun ki pi gran pase yo, e nan nenpòt malantandi yon sèman ki fèt avèk yon akò fèmen tout diskisyon.
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.
Nan menm fason an, Bondye, ak volonte pou menm plis montre eritye pwomès yo ke bi Li a pa kab chanje, Li te pale avèk yon sèman.
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.
Pouke pa de bagay ki pa kab chanje yo, pa sila ke li enposib pou Bondye bay manti, nou menm ki te pran refij nan Kris la, nou genyen yon gwo ankourajman pou kenbe esperans ki plase devan nou an.
19 This hope is a very anchor for our souls, secure and strong, and it ‘reaches into the Sanctuary that lies behind the Curtain,’
Lesperans sa a ke nou gen kòm lank pou nanm nou an, yon esperans ki asire e solid, youn ki menm antre anndan vwal tanp lan,
