< 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 —
Rumal kꞌu riꞌ, man xwi ta bꞌa kaqilij ri nabꞌe taq kꞌutuꞌn ri xya chaqe chirij ri Cristo xane joꞌ chiqawach. Man are ta chi bꞌa kaqatzalij ubꞌixik ri nabꞌe taq jastaq jetaq ri chꞌekoj koltajem rukꞌ ri chak ri xaq kamikal kukꞌam loq, ri kojonik chirij ri Dios,
2 teaching concerning baptisms and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and a final judgment. (aiōnios g166)
ri ucholajil chirij ri qasanaꞌ, ri yaꞌoj qꞌabꞌaj pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, ri kꞌastajibꞌal kiwach ri kaminaqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌatoj tzij ri man kꞌo ta ukꞌisik. (aiōnios g166)
3 Yes and, with God’s help, we will.
Ronojel waꞌ kaqabꞌano we kuya bꞌe ri Dios chaqe.
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,
Rumal cher makuya ta chik chi ri winaq ri xetunax kanoq rumal ri sipanik rech chilaꞌ chikaj xuqujeꞌ xyaꞌtaj kech ri Uxlabꞌixel,
5 and learned to appreciate the beauty of the Divine Message, and the new powers of the Coming Age — (aiōn g165)
xuqujeꞌ utz xkita ri utz laj utzij ri Dios xuqujeꞌ utz xkita ri kwinem ri kape na. (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.
Xetzaq chi kꞌu junmul, man kuya ta kꞌut kabꞌan chi kꞌakꞌ chike junmul rumal man kuya taj karip chi junmul ri Ukꞌojol ri Dios xa rumal ke aꞌreꞌ.
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;
Rumal cher jetaq ta ne ri ulew, kubꞌiqꞌ ri jabꞌ ri kaqaj choch, kꞌa te riꞌ kuya uwach ri utz xuqujeꞌ jeꞌl taq tikoꞌn kech ri ketikowik, kukꞌamawaꞌj ri utewechiꞌbꞌal ri Dios.
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.
Are kꞌu ri ulew ri xaq kꞌix kakꞌiy choch, man kꞌo ta kutayij, xane xaq rayeꞌm ketzelaxik xuqujeꞌ rayeꞌm kaporoxik.
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.
Are kꞌu ri ix loqꞌalaj taq wachalal, pune jeriꞌ kaqabꞌij chiꞌwe, uchapom qakꞌuꞌx chi man ixtanalinaq taj che ri ikojonem, we riꞌ sibꞌalaj utz kubꞌan chiꞌwe rech jeriꞌ kixkolotajik.
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.
Rumal cher ri Dios sukꞌ, man kasachan ta ri ichak rech loqꞌanik ri ibꞌanom xuqujeꞌ ri kibꞌan na chikitoꞌik ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq.
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.
Kurayij qanimaꞌ chi xaq jeꞌ kiwilij ubꞌanik ri chak kꞌa pa ri kꞌisbꞌal qꞌij, rech jeriꞌ kikꞌamawaꞌj ri utojbꞌalil.
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.
Man kixux ta saqꞌoribꞌ, xane chiwesaj kiwach ri rumal ri kikojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ayeꞌnik kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri bꞌiꞌtal loq chike.
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.
Rumal cher are taq xubꞌij loq ri Dios che ri Abraham, in katintewechiꞌj na. Rumal kꞌu che ri man kꞌo ta jun rukꞌ kubꞌan wi ri chꞌekom tzij, xubꞌan ri chꞌekom tzij rukꞌ areꞌ pa utukel.
14 His words were — ‘I will assuredly bless thee and increase thy numbers.’
Ri Dios xubꞌij che ri Abraham: Qas tzij katintewechiꞌj na xuqujeꞌ keꞌnkꞌiyarisaj na ri awijaꞌl.
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the fulfilment of God’s promise.
Ri Abraham xrayeꞌj rukꞌ kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx ri xbꞌix loq che.
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.
Qas tzij wi ri achyabꞌ kakibꞌan chꞌekom tzij choch jun winaq ri nim reqeleꞌn chikiwach, are kabꞌiꞌtaj jun jastaq kumal, makekwin taj kakitzalij kibꞌ che ri xkibꞌij.
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.
Rumal riꞌ ri Dios rumal chi karaj kukꞌut chikiwach ri eꞌchanel chi ri bꞌiꞌtal loq man kꞌo ta jun kakꞌexowik, rumal riꞌ xubꞌan ri chꞌekom tzij.
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.
Jeriꞌ xubꞌano rech rumal ri bꞌiꞌtal loq xuqujeꞌ ri chꞌekom tzij, are waꞌ kebꞌ jastaq ri man kakꞌexetaj ta wi, rumal cher ri Dios man kubꞌan ta bꞌanoj tzij. Waꞌ we riꞌ kuya ukuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx rumal cher are kaqaj chi ri Dios kujuchajij, xuqujeꞌ qas kuꞌl wi qakꞌuꞌx chi kuya na chaqe ri ubꞌim loq.
19 This hope is a very anchor for our souls, secure and strong, and it ‘reaches into the Sanctuary that lies behind the Curtain,’
Waꞌ we riꞌ qas kubꞌan chaqe chi qas kakubꞌiꞌ qakꞌuꞌx jacha ta ne ri jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ ko xekelik rumal cher ko xeketal rumal ri chꞌichꞌ ri qajinaq pa ri jaꞌ, jewaꞌ ri kꞌulibꞌal kuꞌx ri kok bꞌik chirij ri tasbꞌal ri kꞌo pa ri Ja Qꞌijilaꞌbꞌal Dios.
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)
Chilaꞌ xok wi bꞌik ri Jesús rumal qe, are waꞌ ri xbꞌan bꞌik kinimal ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq che, jetaq ri xux ri Melquisedec. (aiōn g165)
