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
ወትምህርተጥምቀትወሢመተእድወትንሣኤሙታንወኵነኔዘለዓለም።
各樣洗禮、按手之禮、死人復活,以及永遠審判各等教訓。
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,
6:5
ወጥዕሙቃለእግዚአብሔርሠናየወኀይለዓለምዘይመጽእ።
並嘗過上帝善道的滋味、覺悟來世權能的人,
and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
6:6
ኢይደሉከመይደቁየሐድስዋካዕበለንስሓሆሙወይስቅልዎሎሙለወልደእግዚአብሔርወይመንንዎ።
若是離棄道理,就不能叫他們重新懊悔了。因為他們把上帝的兒子重釘十字架,明明地羞辱他。
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;
6:8
ወእመሰአውፅአትሦከወአሜከላዘቅርብትለመርገምወደኃሪታለአንድዶ።
若長荊棘和蒺藜,必被廢棄,近於咒詛,結局就是焚燒。
but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
6:9
ንትአመነክሙአኀዊነኅሩያንከመትቅረቡውስተእንተባቲሕይወትእመኒከመዝንቤለክሙ።
親愛的弟兄們,我們雖是這樣說,卻深信你們的行為強過這些,而且近乎得救。
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.
6:11
ወንፈቱሰኵልክሙከማሁታርእዩጻሕቀክሙበዛቲተስፋክሙእስከለዝሉፉ።
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。
We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,
6:12
ከመኢትተክዙወኢትኩኑድንዙዛነወተመሰልዎሙለእለበአሚንወበትዕግሥትወረሱተስፋሆሙ።
並且不懈怠,總要效法那些憑信心和忍耐承受應許的人。
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.
6:19
እንተታጸንዓከመመርሶለነፍስነከመኢታንቀልቅል።
我們有這指望,如同靈魂的錨,又堅固又牢靠,且通入幔內。
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,
