1Wherefore 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,
1ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܫܘܪܝܐ ܕܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܢܐܬܐ ܠܓܡܝܪܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܠܡܐ ܬܘܒ ܫܬܐܤܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܡܪܡܝܬܘܢ ܠܬܝܒܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܠܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܒܐܠܗܐ ܀
2of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
2ܘܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܘܕܤܝܡ ܐܝܕܐ ܘܠܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܠܕܝܢܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܀
3And this will we do, if God permit.
3ܐܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܦܤ ܢܥܒܕ ܗܕܐ ܀
4For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
4ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܠܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܢܚܬܘ ܘܛܥܡܘ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܢܤܒܘ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܀
5and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,
5ܘܛܥܡܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܚܝܠܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܀
6and [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.
6ܕܬܘܒ ܢܚܛܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܪܝܫ ܢܬܚܕܬܘܢ ܠܬܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܪܝܫ ܢܙܩܦܘܢ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܢܨܥܪܘܢ ܀
7For 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:
7ܐܪܥܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܫܬܝܬ ܡܛܪܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܗ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܢ ܘܐܘܥܝܬ ܥܤܒܐ ܕܚܫܚ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܛܠܬܗܘܢ ܡܬܦܠܚܐ ܡܩܒܠܐ ܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܀
8but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.
8ܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܦܩ ܩܘܪܛܒܐ ܘܕܪܕܪܐ ܗܘܝܐ ܠܗ ܡܤܠܝܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܪܚܝܩܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܛܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܪܬܗ ܝܩܕܢܐ ܗܘ ܀
9But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak:
9ܡܦܝܤܝܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܦܝܪܢ ܘܩܪܝܒܢ ܠܚܝܐ ܐܦܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢܢ ܀
10for 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.
10ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܘܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܛܥܐ ܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܘܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܚܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܫܡܫܬܘܢ ܠܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܝܬܘܢ ܀
11And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:
11ܨܒܝܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܚܦܝܛܘܬܐ ܢܚܘܐ ܠܫܘܡܠܝܐ ܕܤܒܪܟܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܀
12that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
12ܘܕܠܐ ܬܬܩܛܥ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܡܪܝܢܐ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܢܓܝܪܘܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܗܘܘ ܝܪܬܐ ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܀
13For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself,
13ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܡܠܟ ܠܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܕܪܒ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܐܡܐ ܒܗ ܝܡܐ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܀
14saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
14ܘܐܡܪ ܕܡܒܪܟܘ ܐܒܪܟܟ ܘܡܤܓܝܘ ܐܤܓܝܟ ܀
15And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
15ܘܗܟܢܐ ܐܓܪ ܪܘܚܗ ܘܩܒܠ ܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܀
16For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
16ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܕܪܒ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܝܡܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܟܠ ܚܪܝܢ ܕܗܘܐ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܫܘܠܡܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܒܡܘܡܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܀
17Wherein God, being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;
17ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܨܒܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܚܘܐ ܠܝܪܬܐ ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܕܫܘܘܕܝܗ ܠܐ ܡܫܬܚܠܦ ܘܚܒܫܗ ܒܡܘܡܬܐ ܀
18that 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:
18ܕܒܬܪܬܝܢ ܨܒܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܬܚܠܦܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܕܓܠ ܒܗܝܢ ܒܘܝܐܐ ܪܒܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܕܐܬܓܘܤܢ ܒܗ ܘܢܐܚܘܕ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܡܠܝܟ ܠܢ ܀
19which we have as an anchor of the soul, [a hope] both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;
19ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܠܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܘܩܝܢܐ ܕܠܒܝܟ ܒܢܦܫܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܙܝܥ ܘܥܐܠ ܠܓܘ ܡܢ ܐܦܝ ܬܪܥܐ ܀
20whither as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
20ܟܪ ܕܩܕV ܥܠ ܚܠܦܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܗܘܐ ܟܘܡܪܐ ܠܥܠV ܒܕܡܘܬܗ ܕܡܠܟܝܙܕܩ ܀
