6:1
Διὸ ἀφέντες τὸν τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ Χριστοῦ λόγον ἐπὶ τὴν τελειότητα φερώμεθα, μὴ πάλιν θεμέλιον καταβαλλόμενοι μετανοίας ἀπὸ νεκρῶν ἔργων, καὶ πίστεως ἐπὶ θεόν,
Quapropter intermittentes inchoationis Christi sermonem, ad perfectiora feramur, non rursum jacientes fundamentum poenitentiae ab operibus mortuis, et fidei ad Deum,
ወበእንተ ዝንቱ ኀዲገነ ጥንተ ነገሩ ለክርስቶስ ንብጻሕ ኀበ ፍጻሜሁ ዑቁ እንከ ዳግመ መሠረተ ካልአ ኢትኅሥሡ በዘትኔስሑ እምግብር ምዉት ውስተ ሐዲስ ሃይማኖት ዘእግዚአብሔር።
Therefore leaving the teaching of the first principles of Christ, let’s press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,
6:2
βαπτισμῶν διδαχῆς, ἐπιθέσεώς τε χειρῶν, ἀναστάσεώς τε νεκρῶν, καὶ κρίματος αἰωνίου.
baptismatum doctrinae, impositionis quoque manuum, ac resurrectionis mortuorum, et judicii aeterni.
ወትምህርተ ጥምቀት ወሢመተ እድ ወትንሣኤ ሙታን ወኵነኔ ዘለዓለም።
of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
6:3
καὶ τοῦτο ποιήσομεν ἐάνπερ ἐπιτρέπῃ ὁ θεός.
Et hoc faciemus, si quidem permiserit Deus.
ወዘንተኒ እምገበርነ ሶበ ያበውሕ እግዚአብሔር።
This will we do, if God permits.
6:4
ἀδύνατον γὰρ τοὺς ἅπαξ φωτισθέντας, γευσαμένους τε τῆς δωρεᾶς τῆς ἐπουρανίου καὶ μετόχους γενηθέντας πνεύματος ἁγίου
Impossibile est enim eos qui semel sunt illuminati, gustaverunt etiam donum caeleste, et participes facti sunt Spiritus Sancti,
ወባሕቱ ኢይትከሀል እምድኅረ ነሥኡ ጥምቀተ ወጥዕሙ ጸጋሁ ዘእምሰማያት ወተሳተፉ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ።
For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
6:5
καὶ καλὸν γευσαμένους θεοῦ ῥῆμα δυνάμεις τε μέλλοντος αἰῶνος,
gustaverunt nihilominus bonum Dei verbum, virtutesque saeculi venturi,
ወጥዕሙ ቃለ እግዚአብሔር ሠናየ ወኀይለ ዓለም ዘይመጽእ።
and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
6:6
καὶ παραπεσόντας, πάλιν ἀνακαινίζειν εἰς μετάνοιαν, ἀνασταυροῦντας ἑαυτοῖς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ παραδειγματίζοντας.
et prolapsi sunt ; rursus renovari ad poenitentiam, rursum crucifigentes sibimetipsis Filium Dei, et ostentui habentes.
ኢይደሉ ከመ ይደቁ የሐድስዋ ካዕበ ለንስሓሆሙ ወይስቅልዎ ሎሙ ለወልደ እግዚአብሔር ወይመንንዎ።
and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.
6:7
γῆ γὰρ ἡ πιοῦσα τὸν ἐπ’ αὐτῆς ἐρχόμενον πολλάκις ὑετόν, καὶ τίκτουσα βοτάνην εὔθετον ἐκείνοις δι’ οὓς καὶ γεωργεῖται, μεταλαμβάνει εὐλογίας ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ·
Terra enim saepe venientem super se bibens imbrem, et generans herbam opportunam illis, a quibus colitur, accipit benedictionem a Deo :
ምድርኒ ለእመ ሰትየት ዝናመ ዘይመጽእ ላዕሌሃ ትወልድ ሣዕረ ሠናየ ሶቤሃ ዘበእንቲኣሁ ሐረስዋ ወትነሥእ በረከተ እምኀበ እግዚአብሔር።
For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it and produces a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;
6:8
ἐκφέρουσα δὲ ἀκάνθας καὶ τριβόλους ἀδόκιμος καὶ κατάρας ἐγγύς, ἧς τὸ τέλος εἰς καῦσιν.
proferens autem spinas ac tribulos, reproba est, et maledicto proxima : cujus consummatio in combustionem.
ወእመሰ አውፅአት ሦከ ወአሜከላ ዘቅርብት ለመርገም ወደኃሪታ ለአንድዶ።
but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
6:9
Πεπείσμεθα δὲ περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀγαπητοί, τὰ κρείσσονα καὶ ἐχόμενα σωτηρίας, εἰ καὶ οὕτως λαλοῦμεν·
Confidimus autem de vobis dilectissimi meliora, et viciniora saluti : tametsi ita loquimur.
ንትአመነክሙ አኀዊነ ኅሩያን ከመ ትቅረቡ ውስተ እንተ ባቲ ሕይወት እመኒ ከመዝ ንቤለክሙ።
But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.
6:10
οὐ γὰρ ἄδικος ὁ θεὸς ἐπιλαθέσθαι τοῦ ἔργου ὑμῶν καὶ τῆς ἀγάπης ἧς ἐνεδείξασθε εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, διακονήσαντες τοῖς ἁγίοις καὶ διακονοῦντες.
Non enim injustus Deus, ut obliviscatur operis vestri, et dilectionis, quam ostendistis in nomine ipsius, qui ministrastis sanctis, et ministratis.
ዘአኮ ይዔምፅ እግዚአብሔር ከመ ይርሳዕ ምግባሪክሙ ዘቀዲሙ ወተፋቅሮተክሙ ዘአርአይክሙ በስሙ ወተልእክምዎሙ ለቅዱሳን ወትትለአኩሂ።
For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.
6:11
ἐπιθυμοῦμεν δὲ ἕκαστον ὑμῶν τὴν αὐτὴν ἐνδείκνυσθαι σπουδὴν πρὸς τὴν πληροφορίαν τῆς ἐλπίδος ἄχρι τέλους,
Cupimus autem unumquemque vestrum eamdem ostentare sollicitudinem ad expletionem spei usque in finem :
ወንፈቱሰ ኵልክሙ ከማሁ ታርእዩ ጻሕቀክሙ በዛቲ ተስፋክሙ እስከ ለዝሉፉ።
We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,
6:12
ἵνα μὴ νωθροὶ γένησθε, μιμηταὶ δὲ τῶν διὰ πίστεως καὶ μακροθυμίας κληρονομούντων τὰς ἐπαγγελίας.
ut non segnes efficiamini, verum imitatores eorum, qui fide, et patientia haereditabunt promissiones.
ከመ ኢትተክዙ ወኢትኩኑ ድንዙዛነ ወተመሰልዎሙ ለእለ በአሚን ወበትዕግሥት ወረሱ ተስፋሆሙ።
that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.
6:13
τῷ γὰρ Ἀβραὰμ ἐπαγγειλάμενος ὁ θεός, ἐπεὶ κατ’ οὐδενὸς εἶχεν μείζονος ὀμόσαι, ὤμοσεν καθ’ ἑαυτοῦ,
Abrahae namque promittens Deus, quoniam neminem habuit, per quem juraret, majorem, juravit per semetipsum,
እግዚአብሔርኒ አመ አሰፈዎ ለአብርሃም ወአልቦ ባዕድ ዘየዐቢ እምኔሁ ከመ ይምሐል ቦቱ መሐለ በርእሱ።
For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,
6:14
λέγων· εἰ μὴν εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσω σε καὶ πληθύνων πληθυνῶ σε·
dicens : Nisi benedicens benedicam te, et multiplicans multiplicabo te.
ወይቤ ከመ ባርኮ እባርከከ ወአስተባዝኆ አስተባዝኀከ።
saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
6:15
καὶ οὕτως μακροθυμήσας ἐπέτυχεν τῆς ἐπαγγελίας.
Et sic longanimiter ferens, adeptus est repromissionem.
ወእምዝ ተዐጊሦ አድምዐ ተስፋሁ።
Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
6:16
ἄνθρωποι γὰρ κατὰ τοῦ μείζονος ὀμνύουσιν, καὶ πάσης αὐτοῖς ἀντιλογίας πέρας εἰς βεβαίωσιν ὁ ὅρκος·
Homines enim per majorem sui jurant : et omnis controversiae eorum finis, ad confirmationem, est juramentum.
ወሰብእሰ ይምሕል በዘየዐቢ እምኔሁ ወሙፃኡ ለቅሥት የኀልቅ በመሐላ።
For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
6:17
ἐν ᾧ περισσότερον βουλόμενος ὁ θεὸς ἐπιδεῖξαι τοῖς κληρονόμοις τῆς ἐπαγγελίας τὸ ἀμετάθετον τῆς βουλῆς αὐτοῦ ἐμεσίτευσεν ὅρκῳ,
In quo abundantius volens Deus ostendere pollicitationis haeredibus, immobilitatem consilii sui, interposuit jusjurandum :
ወበእንተዝ ፈቀደ እግዚአብሔር ያርኢ ጽድቆ ለእለ ይወርሱ ተስፋሁ ከመ ኢይመይጥ ምክሮ ወአጽንዖ በመሐላ ከመ ኢይትመየጥ።
In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath,
6:18
ἵνα διὰ δύο πραγμάτων ἀμεταθέτων, ἐν οἷς ἀδύνατον ψεύσασθαι τὸν θεόν, ἰσχυρὰν παράκλησιν ἔχωμεν οἱ καταφυγόντες κρατῆσαι τῆς προκειμένης ἐλπίδος·
ut per duas res immobiles, quibus impossibile est mentiri Deum, fortissimum solatium habeamus, qui confugimus ad tenendam propositam spem,
ወኢይትከሀል ይትሐሰው ቃለ እግዚአብሔር ዐቢይ ፍሥሓ ብነ ለእለ ተማሕፀነ ወአጽናዕነ ተወክሎ በተስፋነ ዘጽኑሕ ለነ።
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 take hold of the hope set before us.
6:19
ἣν ὡς ἄγκυραν ἔχομεν τῆς ψυχῆς, ἀσφαλῆ τε καὶ βεβαίαν καὶ εἰσερχομένην εἰς τὸ ἐσώτερον τοῦ καταπετάσματος,
quam sicut anchoram habemus animae tutam ac firmam, et incedentem usque ad interiora velaminis,
እንተ ታጸንዓ ከመ መርሶ ለነፍስነ ከመ ኢታንቀልቅል።
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil,
6:20
ὅπου πρόδρομος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν εἰσῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς, κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ ἀρχιερεὺς γενόμενος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
ubi praecursor pro nobis introivit Jesus, secundum ordinem Melchisedech pontifex factus in aeternum.
ወታበውእ ውስተ ውሳጤ መንጦላዕት ኀበ ቦአ ኢየሱስ ሐዋርያነ እምቅድሜነ ሊቀ ካህናት በከመ ሢመቱ ለመልከ ጼዴቅ ከዊኖ ዘለዓለም።
where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
