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,

¹Bada, vtziric Christez hatse emaiten duen hitza, auança gaitecen perfectionera: berriz eçarten eztugularic obra hiletarico penitentiaren, eta Iaincoa baitharaco fedearen fundamenta,

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

²Baptismoén doctrinazco eta escuén impositionezco, eta hilén resurrectionezco, eta iudicio eternalezco fundamenta.

³This will we do, if God permits.

³Eta haur eguinen dugu baldin behinçát permetti badeça Iaincoac.

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

⁴Ecen ezta possible behin illuminatu içan diradenac, eta dohain celestiala dastatu vkan dutenac, eta Spiritu sainduan participant eguin içan diradenac,

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

⁵Eta dastatu vkan dutenac Iaincoaren hitz ona, eta ethorteco den secularen verthuteac:

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.

⁶Baldin eror baditez, berriz arramberri ditecen penitentiatara, ikussiric ecen Iaincoaren Semea berriz crucificatzen dutela hetan den becembatean, eta escarniotara emaiten dutela.

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;

⁷Ecen gainera ethorten çayón vria maiz edaten duen lurrac eta lancen duteney belhar sasoinezcoric ekarten drauenac, recebitzen du benedictione Iaincoaganic:

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

⁸Baina elhorri eta kardu ekarten duena, reprobatua da eta maledictionearen hurbil, ceinen fina erre içatera beha baitago.

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

⁹Baina seguratzen gara çueçaz den becembatean, maiteác, gauça hobez, eta saluamenduarequin eguitenago denez: hunela minço bagara-ere.

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.

¹⁰Ecen Iaincoa ezta iniusto, ahanz daquión çuen obrá eta haren icenera eracutsi vkan duçuen trabailluzco charitatea, sainduey aiuta eguin eta eguiten draueçuen becembatean.

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

¹¹Baina desir dugu çuetaric batbederac artha bera eracuts deçan, sperançaren segurança bethecotzat finerano:

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

¹²Notchalent eguin etzaiteztençát, baina fedez eta patientiaz promessac heretatzen dituztenén imitaçale.

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

¹³Ecen Abrahami promes eguin ceraucanean Iaincoac, ceren berce handiagoz ecin iura baitzeçaqueen, iura ceçan berarçaz,

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

¹⁴Cioela, Segur benedicatuz benedicaturen aut, eta multiplicatuz multiplicaturen aut.

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

¹⁵Eta hala patientqui iguriquiric recebitu vkan du promessa.

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

¹⁶Ecen guiçonéc berac baino handiagoz iuratzen duté. eta confirmationetaco iuramendua, differentia guciaren finetan eduquiten duté.

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;

¹⁷Gauça hunetan Iaincoac abundosquiago promesseco herederoey bere conseilluaren fermetate mutha ecin daitequena eracutsi nahiz, iuramenduz seguratu vkan du:

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.

¹⁸Bi gauça mutha ecin daitezquenez (ceinétan impossible baita Iaincoac gueçurric erran duen) consolatione segura dugunçát, recursa dugunóc proposatu içan çaicun sperançaren vkaitera:

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;

¹⁹Cein baitaducagu arimaren angura segurbat eta fermubat beçala, eta vela barnean diradenetarano sartzen den-bat beçala.

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