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 —
Noolwekyo tulekeraawo okuyiga ebintu bya Kristo ebisookerwako, tukule mu by’omwoyo. Tulekeraawo okwogera ku bisookerwako byokka, ng’okwenenya ebikolwa ebireeta okufa, by’ebikolwa eby’obulombolombo, naye tuteekwa n’okuba n’okukkiriza mu Katonda.
2 teaching concerning baptisms and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and a final judgment. (aiōnios g166)
Tulekeraawo okuyigiriza obulombolombo obw’okubatizibwa, n’obw’okussibwako emikono, n’enjigiriza ey’okuzuukira kw’abafu, n’okusalirwa omusango ogw’olubeerera. (aiōnios g166)
3 Yes and, with God’s help, we will.
Katonda nga bw’asiima, tukule mu mwoyo.
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,
Kizibu okuzza mu kwenenya abo abaamala okufuna ekitangaala ne balega ku birungi eby’omu ggulu, ne bafuuka abassa ekimu mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu,
5 and learned to appreciate the beauty of the Divine Message, and the new powers of the Coming Age — (aiōn g165)
ne bamanya obulungi bw’ekigambo kya Katonda, ne balega ku maanyi ag’emirembe egigenda okujja, (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.
naye ne bava ku Katonda. Baba bakomerera Omwana wa Katonda omulundi ogwokubiri, ne bamuswaza mu lwatu.
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;
Ettaka ligasa omulimi, bwe lifuna obulungi enkuba, ne lisigibwamu ensigo era ne muvaamu ebibala ebirungi. Ne Katonda aliwa omukisa.
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.
Naye bwe libaza amatovu, n’amaggwa, ettaka eryo teriba lya mugaso liba kumpi n’okukolimirwa. Ku nkomerero, ebimezeeko byokebwa.
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.
Naye abaagalwa, newaakubadde twogera bwe tutyo mmwe tetubabuusabuusa. Tumanyi nga mulina ebintu ebirungi era mukola ebintu ebiraga nti muli mu kkubo ery’obulokozi.
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.
Kubanga Katonda mwenkanya tayinza kwerabira mulimu gwammwe omunene bwe gutyo, n’okwagala kwe mwagala erinnya lye, era amanyi bwe mwaweereza abantu be, era bwe mukyeyongera okubaweereza.
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.
Era twagala buli omu ku mmwe yeeyongere okulaganga obunyiikivu obwo okutuusiza ddala ku nkomerero, lwe mulifuna ekyo kye musuubira.
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.
Tetwagala mube bagayaavu, wabula mube ng’abo abakkiriza era abagumiikiriza ne bafuna ekyasuubizibwa.
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.
Katonda bwe yasuubiza Ibulayimu, nga bwe wataali mulala gw’ayinza kwerayirira amusinga, yeerayirira yekka.
14 His words were — ‘I will assuredly bless thee and increase thy numbers.’
Yalayira ng’agamba nti, “Ndikuweera ddala omukisa, era n’okukwaza nnaakwazanga.”
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the fulfilment of God’s promise.
Bw’atyo Ibulayimu bwe yalindirira n’obugumiikiriza, n’aweebwa ekyasuubizibwa.
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.
Abantu balayira omuntu abasinga obukulu, ku nkomerero kye balayidde kye kisalawo.
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.
Ne Katonda bw’atyo, kyeyava ateekawo ekirayiro ng’ayagala okukakasiza ddala abasika b’ekisuubizo nti talijjulula ekyo kye yasuubiza.
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.
Katonda yakikola bw’atyo, okutulaga ebintu bibiri ebitajjulukuka, nti akuuma ekisuubizo kye awamu n’ekirayiro kye. Talimba. Noolwekyo ffe abaddukira gy’ali okutulokola, tusaana okuba abagumu kubanga talirema kutuwa ebyo bye yasuubiza.
19 This hope is a very anchor for our souls, secure and strong, and it ‘reaches into the Sanctuary that lies behind the Curtain,’
Essuubi eryo lye linywereza ddala emmeeme zaffe ng’ennanga bw’enyweza eryato. Essuubi eryo lituyingiza munda w’eggigi.
