¹For the law having a shadow of the good [things] to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.

¹ Zama asariya kaŋ gonda hari hanney kaŋ ga kaa biya, amma manti cimi-cimi waney no, hal abada a sinda dabari ka borey kaŋ yaŋ ga maan toonandi, sargay dumi follonkey din do kaŋ i ga salle alwaati kulu, jiiri ka kaa jiiri.

¹For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

²Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

² Zama nda asariya ga borey toonandi sargayey din do, manti i ga fay d'i salleyaŋ? Zama sududukoy, waati kaŋ i hanan sorro folloŋ, i si ye ka fongu ngey zunubey taaley gaa.

²Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?

³But in those [sacrifices] there is a remembrance made of sins year by year.

³ Amma sargay fey din ra i ga fongu zunubey jiiri ka kaa jiiri.

³But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.

⁴For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

⁴ Zama a si hin ka te yeeji nda hincin kuri ma zunubi kaa.

⁴For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

⁵Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me;

⁵ Woodin sabbay se no, waato kaŋ Almasihu ga ba ka furo ndunnya ra a ne: «Ni si ba sargay da nooyaŋ, amma gaaham no ni soola ay se.

⁵Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire, but you prepared a body for me;

⁶In whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hadst no pleasure:

⁶ Sargay summaare kaŋ i ga ton da zunubi se sargay, ni si maa i kaani.

⁷Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God.

⁷ Gaa no ay ne: ‹Ay neeya, ay kaa. (I hantum ay boŋ tira kunkunante ra.) Ya Irikoy, ay kaa zama ay ma ni miila te.› »

⁷Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’” Psalm 40:6-8

⁸Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law),

⁸ A jin ka ne: «ni si ba sargayey da nooyaŋey da sargay summaarey kaŋ yaŋ i ga ton, da zunubi se sargayey, ni si maa i kaani mo» (wo kaŋ i goono ga salle asariya lordey boŋ).

⁸Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law),

⁹then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

⁹ Waato din gaa a ne koyne: «Ay neeya, ay kaa zama ay ma ni miila te.» A binde na sintina kaa zama a ma ihinkanta daŋ.

⁹then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,

¹⁰By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹⁰ Miila din boŋ no iri hanan Yesu Almasihu gaahamo salleyaŋo do, kaŋ a te sorro folloŋ lok! hal abada se.

¹⁰by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹¹And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins:

¹¹ Alfaga kulu ga kay zaari kulu ka saajaw goy te. I ga sargay dumi follonkey din filla waati kulu, kaŋ yaŋ si hin ka zunubi kaa hal abada.

¹¹Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,

¹²but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

¹² Amma alfaga woone kaŋ ti Almasihu, waato kaŋ a na duumi sargay follonka salle zunubey se, kal a goro Irikoy kambe ŋwaaro gaa.

¹²but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

¹³henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet.

¹³ Za alwaato din a goono ga batu hal Irikoy m'a ibarey te a ce taamey se furkange.

¹³from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.

¹⁴For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

¹⁴ Zama sargay folloŋ do no a na borey ciya toonanteyaŋ hal abada, ngey kaŋ yaŋ _Biya Hanno|_ goono ga hanandi.

¹⁴For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

¹⁵And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,

¹⁵ Biya Hanna mo goono ga seeda iri se, zama waato kaŋ a ne:

¹⁵The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

¹⁶This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; [then saith he,]

¹⁶ «Woone ga ti alkawlo kaŋ ay ga sambu i se jirbey din banda, yaa no Rabbi ci: Ay g'ay lordey daŋ i biney ra, ay g'i hantum mo i laakaley ra.» Waato din gaa no a ne:

¹⁶“This is the covenant that I will make with them: ‘After those days,’ says the Lord, ‘I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;’” Jeremiah 31:33 then he says,

¹⁷And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

¹⁷ «I zunubey d'i taaley mo, ay si ye ka fongu i gaa koyne baa kayna!»

¹⁷“I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.” Jeremiah 31:34

¹⁸Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

¹⁸ Sohõ, naŋ kaŋ woodin yaŋ yaafa go, sargay kulu si cindi kaŋ i ga te zunubey se koyne.

¹⁸Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

¹⁹Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

¹⁹ Yaadin gaa, nya-izey, iri gonda naanay kaŋ ga naŋ iri ma furo Nangu Hanna ra Yesu kuro do,

¹⁹Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

²⁰ fondo tajo kaŋ gonda fundi kaŋ a feeri iri se boŋ. Fonda din boŋ no iri ga furo kosaray taafa kaŋ ga ti a gaahamo jine.

²⁰by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

²¹and [having] a great priest over the house of God;

²¹ Iri gonda mo alfaga bambata Irikoy windo boŋ.

²¹and having a great priest over God’s house,

²²let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,

²² Yaadin gaa, kal iri ma maan nda bine cimikoy, da cimbeeri daahirante, da bine kaŋ nyun ka hanan ka fay da bine lasaabu laalo kulu, da gaahamyaŋ kaŋ i nyumay da hari hanno.

²²let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

²³let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:

²³ Iri ma iri beeja seeda di da gaabi, zama Irikoy kaŋ na alkawlo sambu ya naanaykoy no.

²³let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.

²⁴and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works;

²⁴ Iri ma laakal daŋ care gaa ka care tuti baakasinay da goy hanno gaa.

²⁴Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

²⁵not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting [one another]; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.

²⁵ Iri ma si fay d'iri margey, danga mate kaŋ cine a te boro fooyaŋ se doonay. Amma iri ma care yaamar, sanku fa sohõ kaŋ araŋ go ga di zaaro din go ga maan.

²⁵not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.

²⁶For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,

²⁶ Zama nd'iri go ga zunubi te da ganda-gaabay, waati kaŋ iri ban ka du cimo bayra, sargay kulu si no koyne zunubi se,

²⁶For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

²⁷but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.

²⁷ kala ciiti batuyaŋ humburkumay ra da danji konno mo kaŋ ga yanjekaarey ŋwa batuyaŋ.

²⁷but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.

²⁸A man that hath set at nought Moses law dieth without compassion on [the word of] two or three witnesses:

²⁸ Boro kulu kaŋ na Musa asariya* taamu, i g'a wi bakaraw si, seeda hinka wala ihinza sanni boŋ.

²⁸A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.

²⁹of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

²⁹ Araŋ diyaŋ gaa, ciiti beeri laalo fo dumi no i ga hima ka dake boro kaŋ na Irikoy Izo taamu nga cey cire boŋ, kaŋ na alkawlo kuro kaŋ i n'a hanandi nd'a himandi yaamo, ka donda gomni Biya _Hanna|_ mo?

²⁹How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

³⁰For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

³⁰ Zama iri g'a bay, nga kaŋ ne: «Banayaŋ ya ay wane no. Ay no ga bana.» A ne mo: «Rabbi ga nga jama ciiti.»

³⁰For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me,” says the Lord, “I will repay.” Deuteronomy 32:35 Again, “The Lord will judge his people.” Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalm 135:14

³¹It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³¹ Humburkumay hari no boro ma kaŋ Irikoy Fundikoono kambe ra.

³¹It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³²But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;

³² Amma araŋ ma fongu nda doŋ jirbey, kaŋ araŋ fahamay duyaŋo banda araŋ hin suuru taabi gurjay bambata ra.

³²But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings;

³³partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used.

³³ Kambu fa araŋ ciya gomdo hari hawayaŋ do da kankami do. Kambu fa mo araŋ ciya hangasinyaŋ borey se kaŋ go yaadin.

³³partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions; and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.

³⁴For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of you possessions, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one.

³⁴ Zama araŋ bakar borey kaŋ yaŋ go kasu ra se. Araŋ yadda nda bine kaani mo i m'araŋ arzakey hamay, zama araŋ ga bay kaŋ araŋ gonda arzaka kaŋ ga bis'ey kaŋ ga duumi mo.

³⁴For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.

³⁵Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.

³⁵ Woodin sabbay se, wa si araŋ naanayo furu, zama araŋ ga bay kaŋ a gonda alhakku bambata.

³⁵Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

³⁶For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

³⁶ Araŋ ga hima ka hin suuru, hala waati kaŋ araŋ na Irikoy miila te araŋ ma du alkawlo toonandiyaŋo.

³⁶For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

³⁷For yet a very little while, He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.

³⁷ Zama -- «A cindi kayniyaw fo hala nga kaŋ ga kaa ma kaa, a si gay mo.

³⁷“In a very little while, he who comes will come, and will not wait.

³⁸But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.

³⁸ Amma ay bora, kaŋ ciya adilante* _Irikoy jine|_, cimbeeri ra no a ga funa . D'a ye da banda mo, ay fundo si maa a kaani.»

³⁸But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” Habakkuk 2:3-4

³⁹But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.

³⁹ Amma iri wo manti borey kaŋ dumi ga ye da banda ka to halaciyaŋ gaa no. Day iri ya boroyaŋ no kaŋ gonda cimbeeri kaŋ ga fundi faaba.

³⁹But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
