< 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 —
Momma yɛnnyae Kristosom ahyɛaseɛ ho nkyerɛkyerɛ no, na yɛnsua ne ho nsɛm a ɛkɔ anim no. Ɛho nnhia bio sɛ yɛbɛkɔ so akyerɛkyerɛ deɛ enti a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛnu yɛn ho wɔ nneyɛeɛ a ɛde owuo berɛ yɛn ho ne deɛ enti a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛnya Onyankopɔn mu gyidie.
2 teaching concerning baptisms and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and a final judgment. (aiōnios g166)
Ɛho nhia bio nso sɛ yɛbɛkɔ so akyerɛkyerɛ asubɔ, nsa a wɔde gu nnipa so, awufosɔreɛ ne daa atemmuo ho nsɛm. (aiōnios g166)
3 Yes and, with God’s help, we will.
Momma yɛnkɔ yɛn anim! Na sɛ Onyankopɔn ma ɛkwan a, saa ara na yɛbɛyɛ.
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,
Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wɔbɛsane de wɔn a wɔahwe ase aba ama wɔanu wɔn ho bio? Na anka wɔwɔ Onyankopɔn hann mu. Wɔkaa ɔsoro akyɛdeɛ hwɛeɛ na wɔnyaa wɔn kyɛfa wɔ Honhom Kronkron no mu.
5 and learned to appreciate the beauty of the Divine Message, and the new powers of the Coming Age — (aiōn g165)
Wɔfiri osuahunu mu ahunu sɛ Onyankopɔn asɛm yɛ, na wɔahunu ewiase a ɛreba no mu tumi. (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.
Nanso, ɛno akyi, wɔhwee ase. Enti, ɛyɛ den sɛ wɔde wɔn bɛsane aba bio sɛ wɔmmɛnu wɔn ho, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔresane abɔ Onyankopɔn Ba no asɛnnua mu nam so agu nʼanim ase akyerɛ.
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;
Onyankopɔn hyira asase a ɛnonom nsuo a ɛtɔ gu so na ɛma ɛso afifideɛ yɛ yie ma wɔn a wɔn enti wɔduaeɛ no.
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.
Na sɛ nkasɛɛ ne wura hunu fifiri so a, ɛnyɛ mma hwee. Onyankopɔn bɛdome no na wɔde ogya asɛe no.
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.
Nanso, me nnamfonom, nsɛm a yɛaka yi nyinaa akyi no, yɛnim pefee sɛ ade pa bi a nkwagyeɛ bata ho bɛfiri mo mu aba.
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.
Onyankopɔn nnyɛ deɛ ɔntene. Ne werɛ remfiri adwuma a moyɛeɛ anaa ɔdɔ a modaa no adi maa no ne mmoa a mode boaa mo mfɛfoɔ Akristofoɔ na mogu so de boa wɔn no.
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.
Deɛ yɛrehwehwɛ ne sɛ mo mu biara bɛboa no mmɔdemmɔ so de akɔsi awieeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mo nsa bɛka adeɛ a mo ani da so no.
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.
Yɛmpɛ sɛ moyɛ aniha. Na mmom, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛhunu mo sɛ agyidifoɔ a mowɔ boasetɔ na mo nsa aka bɔ a Onyankopɔn ahyɛ mo no.
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.
Ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ Abraham bɔ no, ɔkaa deɛ wahyɛ ho bɔ no ho ntam. Esiane sɛ na obiara nni hɔ a ɔkorɔn sene no no enti, ɔde ɔno ara ne din na ɛkaa saa ntam no.
14 His words were — ‘I will assuredly bless thee and increase thy numbers.’
Ɔkaa ntam no sɛ, “Mehyɛ wo bɔ sɛ, mɛhyira wo na mama wʼase adɔre.”
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the fulfilment of God’s promise.
Na Abraham wɔ boasetɔ enti, ɛbɔ a Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no no, ne nsa kaeɛ.
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.
Sɛ onipa ka ntam a, ɔde obi a ɔkorɔn sene no din na ɛka saa ntam no de siesie nnipa ntam.
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.
Onyankopɔn pɛɛ sɛ ɔda no adi pefee kyerɛ wɔn a na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn nsa ka ne bɔhyɛ no sɛ ɔrensesa nʼatirimsɛm, enti ɔkaa ntam de hyɛɛ bɔhyɛ no mu den.
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.
Saa nneɛma mmienu yi na ɛrentumi nsesa na Onyankopɔn ntumi nni ho atorɔ. Enti, yɛn a yɛnam ne so anya nkwa no, wɔhyɛ yɛn nkuran sɛ yɛnkura yɛn anidasoɔ no mu den.
19 This hope is a very anchor for our souls, secure and strong, and it ‘reaches into the Sanctuary that lies behind the Curtain,’
Yɛwɔ saa anidasoɔ yi sɛ ɔkra sɛkyɛ. Ɛtim hɔ, na ɛma yɛhyɛne tra ntwamutam no mu kɔsi Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ.
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)
Yesu asi yɛn ananmu adi yɛn ɛkan kɔ hɔ. Wayɛ Ɔsɔfopanin afebɔɔ sɛdeɛ Melkisedek asɔfokwan nhyehyɛeɛ te no. (aiōn g165)
