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,
所以,我們應當離開基督道理的開端,竭力進到完全的地步,不必再立根基,就如那懊悔死行、信靠上帝、
6:2
ወትምህርተጥምቀትወሢመተእድወትንሣኤሙታንወኵነኔዘለዓለም።
of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
論到那些已經蒙了光照、嘗過天恩的滋味、又於聖靈有分,
6:5
ወጥዕሙቃለእግዚአብሔርሠናየወኀይለዓለምዘይመጽእ።
and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
並嘗過上帝善道的滋味、覺悟來世權能的人,
6:6
ኢይደሉከመይደቁየሐድስዋካዕበለንስሓሆሙወይስቅልዎሎሙለወልደእግዚአብሔርወይመንንዎ።
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.
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;
就如一塊田地,吃過屢次下的雨水,生長菜蔬,合乎耕種的人用,就從上帝得福;
6:8
ወእመሰአውፅአትሦከወአሜከላዘቅርብትለመርገምወደኃሪታለአንድዶ።
but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
若長荊棘和蒺藜,必被廢棄,近於咒詛,結局就是焚燒。
6:9
ንትአመነክሙአኀዊነኅሩያንከመትቅረቡውስተእንተባቲሕይወትእመኒከመዝንቤለክሙ።
But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.
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.
因為上帝並非不公義,竟忘記你們所做的工和你們為他名所顯的愛心,就是先前伺候聖徒,如今還是伺候。
6:11
ወንፈቱሰኵልክሙከማሁታርእዩጻሕቀክሙበዛቲተስፋክሙእስከለዝሉፉ።
We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,
我們願你們各人都顯出這樣的殷勤,使你們有滿足的指望,一直到底。
6:12
ከመኢትተክዙወኢትኩኑድንዙዛነወተመሰልዎሙለእለበአሚንወበትዕግሥትወረሱተስፋሆሙ።
that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.
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.
藉這兩件不更改的事,上帝決不能說謊,好叫我們這逃往避難所、持定擺在我們前頭指望的人可以大得勉勵。
6:19
እንተታጸንዓከመመርሶለነፍስነከመኢታንቀልቅል።
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,
