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 —
vaya. m m. rtijanakakarmmabhyo mana. hparaavarttanam ii"svare vi"svaaso majjana"sik. sa. na. m hastaarpa. na. m m. rtalokaanaam utthaanam
2 teaching concerning baptisms and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and a final judgment. (aiōnios g166)
anantakaalasthaayivicaaraaj naa caitai. h punarbhittimuula. m na sthaapayanta. h khrii. s.tavi. sayaka. m prathamopade"sa. m pa"scaatk. rtya siddhi. m yaavad agrasaraa bhavaama| (aiōnios g166)
3 Yes and, with God’s help, we will.
ii"svarasyaanumatyaa ca tad asmaabhi. h kaari. syate|
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,
ya ekak. rtvo diiptimayaa bhuutvaa svargiiyavararasam aasvaditavanta. h pavitrasyaatmano. a.m"sino jaataa
5 and learned to appreciate the beauty of the Divine Message, and the new powers of the Coming Age — (aiōn g165)
ii"svarasya suvaakya. m bhaavikaalasya "sakti ncaasvaditavanta"sca te bhra. s.tvaa yadi (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.
svamanobhirii"svarasya putra. m puna. h kru"se ghnanti lajjaaspada. m kurvvate ca tarhi mana. hparaavarttanaaya punastaan naviiniikarttu. m ko. api na "saknoti|
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;
yato yaa bhuumi. h svopari bhuuya. h patita. m v. r.s. ti. m pivatii tatphalaadhikaari. naa. m nimittam i. s.taani "saakaadiinyutpaadayati saa ii"svaraad aa"si. sa. m praaptaa|
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.
kintu yaa bhuumi rgok. suraka. n.takav. rk. saan utpaadayati saa na graahyaa "saapaarhaa ca "se. se tasyaa daaho bhavi. syati|
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.
he priyatamaa. h, yadyapi vayam etaad. r"sa. m vaakya. m bhaa. saamahe tathaapi yuuya. m tata utk. r.s. taa. h paritraa. napathasya pathikaa"scaadhva iti vi"svasaama. h|
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.
yato yu. smaabhi. h pavitralokaanaa. m ya upakaaro. akaari kriyate ca tene"svarasya naamne prakaa"sita. m prema "srama nca vismarttum ii"svaro. anyaayakaarii na bhavati|
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.
apara. m yu. smaakam ekaiko jano yat pratyaa"saapuura. naartha. m "se. sa. m yaavat tameva yatna. m prakaa"sayedityaham icchaami|
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.
ata. h "sithilaa na bhavata kintu ye vi"svaasena sahi. s.nutayaa ca pratij naanaa. m phalaadhikaari. no jaataaste. saam anugaamino bhavata|
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.
ii"svaro yadaa ibraahiime pratyajaanaat tadaa "sre. s.thasya kasyaapyaparasya naamnaa "sapatha. m karttu. m naa"saknot, ato heto. h svanaamnaa "sapatha. m k. rtvaa tenokta. m yathaa,
14 His words were — ‘I will assuredly bless thee and increase thy numbers.’
"satyam aha. m tvaam aa"si. sa. m gadi. syaami tavaanvaya. m varddhayi. syaami ca|"
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the fulfilment of God’s promise.
anena prakaare. na sa sahi. s.nutaa. m vidhaaya tasyaa. h pratyaa"saayaa. h phala. m labdhavaan|
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.
atha maanavaa. h "sre. s.thasya kasyacit naamnaa "sapante, "sapatha"sca pramaa. naartha. m te. saa. m sarvvavivaadaantako bhavati|
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.
ityasmin ii"svara. h pratij naayaa. h phalaadhikaari. na. h sviiyamantra. naayaa amoghataa. m baahulyato dar"sayitumicchan "sapathena svapratij naa. m sthiriik. rtavaan|
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.
ataeva yasmin an. rtakathanam ii"svarasya na saadhya. m taad. r"senaacalena vi. sayadvayena sammukhastharak. saasthalasya praaptaye palaayitaanaam asmaaka. m sud. r.dhaa saantvanaa jaayate|
19 This hope is a very anchor for our souls, secure and strong, and it ‘reaches into the Sanctuary that lies behind the Curtain,’
