ヘブル人への手紙 6
1 然れば我等は、キリストに関する教の初歩を措きて、死せる業よりの改心、神に於る信仰、
Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 神許し給はば我等は之を為すべし。
And this will we do, if God permit.
4 蓋一度照らされて、天の賜を味ひ、聖霊の分配にも與り、
For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165)
6 堕落したる人々は、己が罪として神の御子を再び十字架に釘け、之を辱め奉る者なれば、更に改心する様一新せらるる事を得ず。
and [then] fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
7 即ち土屡其上に降來る雨を吸入れて、耕す人を益すべき草を生ずれば、神より祝福を受くと雖も、
For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God:
8 荊棘と薊とを生ずれば、棄てられて詛はるるに近く、其終は焼かるべきのみ。
but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.
9 至愛なる者よ、我等は斯く言ふと雖も、汝等に就きては尚善くして救霊に近からん事を希望す。
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak:
10 蓋神は、汝等が曾て聖徒等に供給し、今も尚供給しつつあるに、汝等の業と汝等が御名に對して顕はしし愛とを忘れ給ふ如き、不義なる者には在さず。
for God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered unto the saints, and still do minister.
11 我等の望む所は、汝等が各希望を全うするまで、始終同様の励を顕し、
And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:
12 怠慢に流れずして、信仰と忍耐とを以、約束の世嗣と成るべき人々に倣う者と成らん事是なり。
that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 蓋神アブラハムに約し給ひし時、己より大いにして指して以て誓ふべきものなきが故に、御自らを指して、誓ひて、
For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself,
14 曰く、「我祝して汝を祝せん、殖して汝を殖さん」と。
saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 斯てアブラハム忍耐を以て待御約束の事を得たり。
And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 即ち人々は最も大いなるものを指して誓ひ、又保證と成る誓は其一切の論を決す。
For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
17 斯の如く、神は約束の世嗣たる人々に對て、其規定の變ぜざる事を尚十分に示さんとて、誓を加へ給ひしなり。
Wherein God, being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;
18 是備へられたる希望を捉へんとして倚縋り奉りたる我等に、神の僞り給ふ能はざる二の動かざる事を以て、最も強き慰を得させ給はん為なり。
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:
19 此希望は、安全にして堅固なる魂の碇として我等之を保ち、
which we have as an anchor of the soul, [a hope] both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;
