¹Koa aoka hilaozantsika ny abidim-pianarana ny amin'i Kristy, fa aoka handroso ho amin'ny tanteraka isika ka tsy hanao fanorenana indray, dia fibebahana hahafahana amin'ny asa maty sy finoana an'Andriamanitra,

¹Wherefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, unto the perfection we may advance, not again a foundation laying of reformation from dead works, and of faith on God,

²ary fampianarana ny amin'ny fisasana maro sy ny fametrahan-tanana, ary ny fitsanganan'ny maty sy ny fitsarana mandrakizay.

²of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on also of hands, of rising again also of the dead, and of judgment age-during,

³Ary izany no hataontsika, raha avelan'Andriamanitra.

³and this we will do, if God may permit,

⁴Fa izay efa nohazavaina indray mandeha sady efa nanandrana ny fanomezana avy any an-danitra sy efa nandray ny Fanahy Masina

⁴for [it is] impossible for those once enlightened, having tasted also of the heavenly gift, and partakers having became of the Holy Spirit,

⁵ary efa nanandrana ny teny tsaran'Andriamanitra sy ny herin'ny fiainana ho avy,

⁵and did taste the good saying of God, the powers also of the coming age,

⁶nefa nihemotra, dia tsy azo havaozina indray ho amin'ny fibebahana, satria manombo ny Zanak'Andriamanitra indray amin'ny hazo fijaliana ka manao Azy ho fahamenarana.

⁶and having fallen away, again to renew [them] to reformation, having crucified again to themselves the Son of God, and exposed to public shame.

⁷Fa izay tany mifoka ny ranonorana milatsaka aminy matetika ka maniry anana tsara ho an'ny olona iasana azy dia mahazo fitahiana avy amin'Andriamanitra;

⁷For earth, that is drinking in the rain many times coming upon it, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of whom also it is dressed, doth partake of blessing from God,

⁸fa izay maniry tsilo sy songosongo kosa dia lavina sady akaikin'ny ozona, ary ny hiafarany dia ny hodorana.

⁸and that which is bearing thorns and briers [is] disapproved of, and nigh to cursing, whose end [is] for burning;

⁹Nefa, ry malala, na dia miteny izany aza izahay, dia manantena zavatra tsara ny aminareo, dia izay momba ny famonjena.

⁹and we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things that are better, and accompanying salvation, though even thus we speak,

¹⁰Fa Andriamanitra tsy mba tsy marina hanadino ny asanareo sy ny fitiavana izay nasehonareo ho voninahitry ny anarany, raha nanompo ny olona masina ianareo sady mbola manompo ihany.

¹⁰for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labour of the love, that ye shewed to His name, having ministered to the saints and ministering;

¹¹Ary mbola irinay ianareo rehetra samy haneho izany fahazotoana izany mba hahazo ny fahatokiana be ny amin'ny fanantenana hatramin'ny farany;

¹¹and we desire each one of you the same diligence to shew, unto the full assurance of the hope unto the end,

¹²mba tsy hiketraka ianareo, fa hanahaka ireo mandova araka ny teny fikasana amin'ny finoana sy ny faharetana.

¹²that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.

¹³Fa Andriamanitra nanao teny fikasana tamin'i Abrahama ary satria tsy nisy lehibe noho ny tenany izay azony nianianana, dia nianiana tamin'ny tenany Izy

¹³For to Abraham God, having made promise, seeing He was able to swear by no greater, did swear by Himself,

¹⁴ka nanao hoe: "Hitahy anao tokoa Aho ary hahamaro dia hahamaro anao" (Gen. 22.17).

¹⁴saying, `Blessing indeed I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;`

¹⁵Ary araka izany, rehefa naharitra tsara Abrahama, dia nahazo ny teny fikasana.

¹⁵and so, having patiently endured, he did obtain the promise;

¹⁶Fa ny olona dia mianiana amin'izay lehibe noho ny tenany; ary ny fianianana dia ataony mba hahamafy ny teny hampitsahatra ny fifandirana rehetra.

¹⁶for men indeed do swear by the greater, and an end of all controversy to them for confirmation [is] the oath,

¹⁷Ary amin'izany, raha Andriamanitra ta-haneho kokoa amin'ny mpandova araka ny teny fikasana ny tsi-fiovan'ny sitrapony, dia nataony mafy tamin'ny fianianana izany,

¹⁷in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose by an oath,

¹⁸mba ho zavatra roa loha tsy mety miova, izay tsy hain'Andriamanitra andaingana, no hahazoantsika famporisihana mafy, dia isika izay nandositra hihazona ny fanantenana napetraka eo anoloantsika,

¹⁸that through two immutable things, in which [it is] impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before [us],

¹⁹izay ananantsika ho vatofantsiky ny aina sady mafy no tsy mihetsika ary miditra any anatin'ny efitra lamba;tany no nidiran'i Jesosy ho Mpialoha antsika, rehefa tonga Mpisoronabe "mandrakizay araka ny fanaon'i Melkizedeka" Izy.

¹⁹which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail,

²⁰tany no nidiran'i Jesosy ho Mpialoha antsika, rehefa tonga Mpisoronabe "mandrakizay araka ny fanaon'i Melkizedeka" Izy.

²⁰whither a forerunner for us did enter — Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become — to the age.
