¹Let *us* also therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and sin which so easily entangles us, run with endurance the race that lies before us,

¹¶ Na, i tenei kapua nui o nga kaiwhakaatu e karapoti nei i a tatou, whakarerea e tatou nga whakataimaha katoa, me te hara whakaeke tata, kia manawanui hoki tatou ki te oma i te omanga e takoto nei i to tatou aroaro;

²looking stedfastly on Jesus the leader and completer of faith: who, in view of the joy lying before him, endured [the] cross, having despised [the] shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

²Me te titiro pu ano ki a Ihu, ki te kaitimata, ki te kaiwhakaoti i te whakapono; i whakaaro hoki ia ki te hari i tona aroaro, a whakamanawanui ana ki te ripeka, whakahawea ana ki te whakama, na kua noho ki matau o te torona o te Atua.

³For consider well him who endured so great contradiction from sinners against himself, that ye be not weary, fainting in your minds.

³Whakaaroa hoki ia i whakamanawanui nei ki taua totohe nui a te hunga hara ki a ia, kei hoha o koutou ngakau, kei ngakaukore koutou.

⁴Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, wrestling against sin.

⁴¶ Ko ta koutou pakanga, kahore ano kia tae noa ki te toto i a koutou e whawhai na ki te hara.

⁵And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, despise not [the] chastening of [the] Lord, nor faint [when] reproved by him;

⁵A kua wareware koutou ki te kupu whakahau e korero nei ki a koutou, me te mea he tama koutou, E taku tama, kaua e whakahawea ki ta te Ariki papaki; kei ngakaukore hoki ina riria e ia:

⁶for whom [the] Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.

⁶E papaki ana hoki te Ariki ki tana e aroha ai, e whiua ana hoki e ia nga tama katoa e whakatamarikitia ana ki a ia.

⁷Ye endure for chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not?

⁷Hei pakinga ta koutou e manawanui ai; e rite ana ta te Atua meatanga ki a koutou ki tana ki nga tama tupu; ko wai hoki te tama e kore e pakia e tona papa?

⁸But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

⁸Ki te kahore ia o koutou pakinga, te mea e whakawhiwhia ana ki te katoa, he poriro koutou, ehara i te tama.

⁹Moreover we have had the fathers of our flesh as chasteners, and we reverenced [them]; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

⁹Tetahi, he matua ano o tatou no te wahi ki te kikokiko, he mea papaki tatou na ratou; i hopohopo ano tatou ki a ratou: kaua ianei e nui noa atu to tatou ngohengohe ki te Matua o nga wairua, kia ora ai?

¹⁰For they indeed chastened for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he for profit, in order to the partaking of his holiness.

¹⁰Ko ta ratou papaki hoki he torutoru nei nga ra, he mea ano na ta ratou ake i whakaaro ai; ko ta tenei ia hei pai mo tatou, kia whiwhi ai tatou ki tona tapu.

¹¹But no chastening at the time seems to be [matter] of joy, but of grief; but afterwards yields [the] peaceful fruit of righteousness to those exercised by it.

¹¹Ko nga pakinga katoa, e kore e kiia inaianei hei whakahari, engari hei whakapouri: muri iho ia ka puta mai te hua rangimarie o te tika, ki te hunga e whakamahia ana ki taua mea.

¹²Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the failing knees;

¹²Heoi kia ara nga ringaringa kua tukua iho, me nga turi ngoikore:

¹³and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned aside; but that rather it may be healed.

¹³Hanga hoki etahi huarahi tika mo o koutou waewae, kei whakapeaua ketia atu te kopa; engari kia ora ake i te mate.

¹⁴Pursue peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord:

¹⁴Whaia te rongo kia mau ki te katoa, me te tapu hoki, ki te kahore hoki tenei e kore tetahi tangata e kite i te Ariki.

¹⁵watching lest [there be] any one who lacks the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and many be defiled by it;

¹⁵Me te titiro marie kei hapa tetahi i to te Atua aroha noa; kei pihi ake tetahi pakiaka o te kawa hei whakararuraru, e poke ai te tokomaha;

¹⁶lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright;

¹⁶Kei moepuku tetahi, kei whakarihariha ranei, kei pera me Ehau: i hokona ra e ia tona matamuatanga ki te kainga kotahi.

¹⁷for ye know that also afterwards, desiring to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, (for he found no place for repentance) although he sought it earnestly with tears.

¹⁷E matau ana hoki koutou ki tona hiahia i muri kia riro i a ia te manaaki, a kapea ana ia: kihai hoki i kitea he wahi mo te ripeneta; i rapua marietia ano e ia me te heke ano o nga roimata.

¹⁸For ye have not come to [the mount] that might be touched and was all on fire, and to obscurity, and darkness, and tempest,

¹⁸¶ Ehara hoki i te mea kua tae koutou ki te maunga e taea te whakapa atu, ki te ahi e ka ana, ki te pango kerekere, ki te pouri, ki te tupuhi,

¹⁹and trumpet's sound, and voice of words; which they that heard, excusing themselves, declined [the] word being addressed to them any more:

¹⁹Ki te tangi o te tetere, ki te reo e korero ana; i inoi ra te hunga i rangona ai kia kaua he kupu ki a ratou i muri iho:

²⁰(for they were not able to bear what was enjoined: And if a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned;

²⁰Kihai hoki ratou i kaha ake ki te mea i whakaritea mai, Na, ahakoa he kararehe e pa atu ki te maunga, me aki ki te kohatu;

²¹and, so fearful was the sight, Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and full of trembling;)

²¹Koia ano te mataku o te mea i puta mai ra, i mea ai a Mohi, Mataku rawa ahau, wiri rawa:

²²but ye have come to mount Zion; and to [the] city of [the] living God, heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads of angels,

²²Engari kua tae nei koutou ki Maunga Hiona, ki te pa o te Atua ora, ki Hiruharama i te rangi, ki nga mano tini o nga anahera,

²³the universal gathering; and to [the] assembly of the firstborn [who are] registered in heaven; and to God, judge of all; and to [the] spirits of just [men] made perfect;

²³Ki te huihui nui, ki te hahi o nga matamua, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te rangi, ki te Atua hoki, ki te kaiwhakawa o nga tangata katoa, ki nga wairua ano o te hunga tika kua oti te mea kia tino tika,

²⁴and to Jesus, mediator of a new covenant; and to [the] blood of sprinkling, speaking better than Abel.

²⁴Ki a Ihu ano hoki, ki te takawaenga o te kawenata hou, ki nga toto o te tauhiuhinga, he pai ake nei nga korero i to Apera.

²⁵See that ye refuse not him that speaks. For if those did not escape who had refused him who uttered the oracles on earth, much more we who turn away from him [who does so] from heaven:

²⁵Kia mahara kei whakarere koutou i tenei e korero mai nei. Ki te mea hoki kihai i mawhiti te hunga i paopao ki tera i korero ra i runga i te whenua, ina e kore rawa ano tatou, ki te tahuri ke atu i tenei kua korero mai nei i te rangi:

²⁶whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, Yet once will *I* shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.

²⁶Ngaueue ana te whenua i tona reo i reira: inaianei ia kua puaki tana kupu whakaari, kua mea ia, Kia kotahi ano meatanga, a ehara i te mea ko te whenua anake, ko te rangi ano hoki taku e whakangaueue ai.

²⁷But this Yet once, signifies the removing of what is shaken, as being made, that what is not shaken may remain.

²⁷Ko taua kupu nei hoki, Kia kotahi meatanga, hei whakakite i te putanga ketanga o nga mea ka whakangaueuetia ra, he mea hanga hoki, mau tonu iho ai nga mea e kore nei e whakangaueuetia.

²⁸Wherefore let us, receiving a kingdom not to be shaken, have grace, by which let us serve God acceptably with reverence and fear.

²⁸Na, ka riro nei i a tatou he kingitanga e kore e taea te whakangaueue, kia whiwhi tatou ki te aroha noa e manakohia mai ai ta tatou e mahi nei ki te Atua i runga i te hopohopo, i te wehi:

²⁹For also our God [is] a consuming fire.

²⁹He ahi hoki e kai ana to tatou Atua.
