¹Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set 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 to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat 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 him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

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.

⁴You have not yet resisted to blood, striving 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 you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are 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.” Proverbs 3:11-12

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.

⁷It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?

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 you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.

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

⁹Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. 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, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers 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.

¹¹All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.

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.

¹²Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees, Isaiah 35:3

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

¹³and make straight paths for your feet, Proverbs 4:26 so that which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

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

¹⁴Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will 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.

¹⁵looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of 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 sexually immoral person, or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.

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

¹⁷For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently 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 you have not come to a mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,

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,

¹⁹the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,

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:

²⁰for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned TR adds “or shot with an arrow” [see Exodus 19:12-13] ”; Exodus 19:12-13

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 appearance, that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.” Deuteronomy 9:19

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

²²But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes 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,

²³to the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, 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,

²⁴to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, Jeremiah 31:31 and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of 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 you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns 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 shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.” Haggai 2:6

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.

²⁷This phrase, “Yet once more,” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are 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.

²⁸Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

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 our God is a consuming fire. Deuteronomy 4:24

²⁹He ahi hoki e kai ana to tatou Atua.
