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 —
Nítorí náà, ó yẹ kí á fi àwọn ẹ̀kọ́ ìgbà tí a ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gba Kristi sílẹ̀, kí á tẹ̀síwájú nínú àwọn ẹ̀kọ́ tí yóò mú wa dàgbàsókè ní pípé. Láìtún ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ bẹ̀rẹ̀ máa tẹnumọ́ ẹ̀kọ́ ìpìlẹ̀ bí i ìrònúpìwàdà kúrò nínú òkú iṣẹ́ àti ìgbàgbọ́ nípa ti Ọlọ́run,
2 teaching concerning baptisms and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and a final judgment. (aiōnios g166)
ti ẹ̀kọ́ àwọn bamitiisi, àti ti ìgbọ́wọ́-léni, ti àjíǹde òkú, àti tí ìdájọ́ àìnípẹ̀kun. (aiōnios g166)
3 Yes and, with God’s help, we will.
Èyí ní àwa yóò sì ṣe bí Ọlọ́run bá fẹ́.
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,
Nítorí pé, kò ṣe é ṣe fún àwọn tí a ti là lójú lẹ́ẹ̀kan, tí wọ́n sì ti tọ́ ẹ̀bùn ọ̀run wò, tí wọn sì ti di alábápín Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́,
5 and learned to appreciate the beauty of the Divine Message, and the new powers of the Coming Age — (aiōn g165)
tí wọn sì tọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rere Ọlọ́run wò, àti agbára ayé tí ń bọ̀, (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.
láti tún sọ wọ́n di ọ̀tun sí ìrònúpìwàdà bí wọn bá ṣubú kúrò; nítorí tí wọ́n tún kan Ọmọ Ọlọ́run mọ́ àgbélébùú sí ara wọn lọ́tun, wọ́n sì dójútì í ní gbangba.
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;
Nítorí ilẹ̀ tí ó ń fa omi òjò tí ń rọ̀ sórí rẹ̀ nígbà gbogbo mu, tí ó sì ń hu ewébẹ̀ tí ó dára fún àwọn tí à ń tìtorí wọn ro ó pẹ̀lú, ń gba ìbùkún lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ba ń hu ẹ̀gún àti òṣùṣú yóò di kíkọ̀sílẹ̀, kò si jìnnà sí fífi gégùn ún, òpin èyí tí yóò wà fún ìjóná.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n olùfẹ́, àwa ní ohun tí ó dára jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, ní tiyín, àti ohun tí ó fi ara mọ́ ìgbàlà, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé à ń ṣe báyìí sọ̀rọ̀.
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.
Nítorí Ọlọ́run kì í ṣe aláìṣòdodo tí yóò fi gbàgbé iṣẹ́ yin àti ìfẹ́ tí ẹ̀yin fihàn sí orúkọ rẹ̀, nípa iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ tí ẹ ti ṣe fún àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, tí ẹ sì tún ń ṣe.
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.
Àwa sì fẹ́ kí olúkúlùkù yín máa fi irú àìsimi kan náà hàn, fún ẹ̀kún ìdánilójú ìrètí títí dé òpin.
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.
Kí ẹ má ṣe di onílọ̀ra, ṣùgbọ́n aláfarawé àwọn tí wọn ti ipa ìgbàgbọ́ àti sùúrù jogún àwọn ìlérí.
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.
Nítorí nígbà tí Ọlọ́run ṣe ìlérí fún Abrahamu, bí kò ti rí ẹni tí ó pọ̀jù òun láti fi búra, ó fi ara rẹ̀ búra, wí pé,
14 His words were — ‘I will assuredly bless thee and increase thy numbers.’
“Nítòótọ́ ní bíbùkún èmi ó bùkún fún ọ, àti ní bíbísí èmi ó sì mú ọ bí sí i.”
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the fulfilment of God’s promise.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ náà sì ni, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Abrahamu fi sùúrù dúró, ó ri ìlérí náà gbà.
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.
Nítorí ènìyàn a máa fi ẹni tí ó pọ̀jù wọ́n lọ búra: ìbúra náà a sì fi òpin sí gbogbo ìjiyàn wọn fún ìfẹ̀sẹ̀ múlẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀.
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.
Nínú èyí tí Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ń fẹ́ gidigidi láti fi àìlèyípadà ète rẹ̀ hàn fún àwọn ajogún ìlérí náà, ó fi ìbúra sáàrín wọn.
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.
Pé, nípa ohun àìlèyípadà méjì, nínú èyí tí kò le ṣe é ṣe fún Ọlọ́run láti ṣèké, kí a lè mú àwa tí ó ti sá sábẹ́ ààbò rẹ̀ ní ọkàn lè láti di ìrètí tí a gbé kalẹ̀ níwájú wa mú ṣinṣin.
19 This hope is a very anchor for our souls, secure and strong, and it ‘reaches into the Sanctuary that lies behind the Curtain,’
Èyí tí àwa níbi ìdákọ̀ró ọkàn fún ọkàn wa, ìrètí tí ó dájú tí ó sì dúró ṣinṣin, tí ó sì wọ inú ilé lọ lẹ́yìn aṣọ ìkélé;
