¹ Woodin sabbay se, iri ma Almasihu boŋ dondonandiyaŋ sanni sintiney naŋ ka to jina hala timmandiyaŋo do. Iri ma si ye ka sanno kaajo sinji, kaŋ ga ti tuubiyaŋ goy buukoy _kaŋ sinda nafa|_ gaa, da Irikoy cimandiyaŋ,

¹Therefore leaving the teaching of the first principles of Christ, let us press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,

² da dondonandiyaŋ baptismey boŋ, da kambe dakeyaŋey boŋ, da buukoy tunyaŋo boŋ, da hal abada ciito boŋ.

²of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

³ Woodin mo no iri ga te da Irikoy yadda.

³This will we do, if God permits.

⁴ Borey kaŋ yaŋ du kaari ce fo, kaŋ yaŋ taba beene nooyaŋo gaa, kaŋ yaŋ margu Biya Hanno banda,

⁴For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

⁵ kaŋ yaŋ na Irikoy sanni kaana taba, da zamaney kaŋ ga kaa dabarey mo,

⁵and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,

⁶ nga no i na banda bare Irikoy gaa -- a si hin ka te i ma ye ka bare koyne ka kaa tuubiyaŋ do. Zama borey din goono ga Irikoy Izo kanji koyne ngey boŋ se, k'a haawandi mo taray kwaaray.

⁶and 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.

⁷ Zama waati kaŋ laabu ga beene hari haŋ kaŋ ga kaŋ a boŋ alwaati ka kaa alwaati, nga no tuuri kaŋ gonda nafa mo ga zay bora kaŋ se i n'a far din se, laabo din ga du Irikoy albarka gaa.

⁷For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it, and brings forth a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;

⁸ Amma da karji nda yo-karjiyaŋ ga zay a boŋ, i ga wang'a. A maan laaliyaŋ. Kokor banda mo i g'a ton.

⁸but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

⁹ Amma, ay baakoy, iri na hayey kaŋ ga bisa yaadin daahirandi araŋ ciine ra, kaŋ yaŋ ga ti faaba wane, baa kaŋ iri goono ga salaŋ yaadin.

⁹But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.

¹⁰ Zama Irikoy ya Adilitaraykoy no kaŋ si dinya araŋ goyo d'araŋ baakasina kaŋ araŋ cabe a maa se, waato kaŋ araŋ na hanantey saajaw. Araŋ goono ga woodin te mo hala hõ.

¹⁰For 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.

¹¹ Iri ga ba mo araŋ boro fo kulu ma anniya din dumo cabe kala bananta, zama araŋ ma du ka goro nda beeje toonante.

¹¹We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,

¹² Zama mo araŋ ma si ciya dirgaykomyaŋ, amma araŋ ma ciya dondonkoyaŋ borey se kaŋ yaŋ ga alkawley tubu ngey cimbeero da ngey suuro sabbay se.

¹²that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited the promises.

¹³ Zama waato kaŋ Irikoy na alkawli sambu Ibrahim se, za kaŋ a si du ka ze da boro kaŋ bisa nga bumbo, kal a ze da nga boŋ

¹³For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself,

¹⁴ ka ne: «Daahir no ay ga ni albarkandi, daahir no ay ga naŋ ni ma baa.»

¹⁴saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” Genesis 22:17

¹⁵ Yaadin no, kaŋ Ibrahim hin suuru, a du haya kaŋ boŋ Irikoy na alkawli sambu a se.

¹⁵Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

¹⁶ Zama Adam-izey ga ze da haŋ kaŋ bisa ngey beeray. Koyne, zeyaŋ ga ti tabbatandiyaŋ kaŋ do kakaw kulu ga ban.

¹⁶For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.

¹⁷ Woodin se no za kaŋ Irikoy ga ba nga ma cabe nda cimi nga alkawlo tubukoy se kaŋ nga saawara si tun, kal a na zeyaŋ tonton alkawlo din gaa.

¹⁷In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;

¹⁸ Zama hari hinka din kaŋ si barmay boŋ, kaŋ ra Irikoy si hin ka taari, iri ma du bine gaabi, iri kaŋ du tuguyaŋ do, beeja kaŋ i daŋ iri jine din gaayyaŋo do.

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 take hold of the hope set before us.

¹⁹ Beeja wo no ga ti iri fundey se gaayyaŋ hari, sinjante no, gaabikooni mo no. Nga ga ti beeja kaŋ ga furo nango ra kaŋ go kosaray* taafa se jine.

¹⁹This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;

²⁰ Noodin no Yesu furo iri se jine ka fonda feeri iri se, zama a ciya alfaga beeri hal abada, Malcizadaka wano cine.

²⁰where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
