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,

¹Huaijiakin, huchitela theihpihte-meipi thupi umsuaka I om theiin, honhihnok peuhmah leh khelhna eimaha belhte koihmang ni, huan, ima ua kitaitehna ding om ah kuhka ltakin tai ni.

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.

²Jesu, I ginna siampa leh hihkippa, a maa kipahna om jiaka zahlaknate ngaineua krosa thuakpa, Pathian mang tutphah taklama vatu, Amah lam enin.

³For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

³Nakha lam ua na bah ua, nalung kiak louhna dingun, mikhialte apana huchibanga selkalhna thuakpa tuh ngaihtuah dih ua leh.

⁴You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin;

⁴Khelhna douna sisan suak hialin na pangnai tadih kei ua; hasotna thu, tate taihilh banga nou hontaihilhna, na namangngilhta uhi.

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;

⁵Ka ta, Toupa sawina ngaineu kenla, a taihilha na om inleng lungke tuan ken;

⁶For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.” Proverbs 3:11-12

⁶Toupan a itte sawi naka, ta a kipahpih tuh a vo nak hi. chih.

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?

⁷Na thuak ujaw noumau ding ahi; tate tunga hih bangin Pathianin na tunguah a hiha; pa sawi louh ta kua a om ngeia?

⁸But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.

⁸Ta chihna teng loha, sawina pen loh loua na om unbel, ta tak hilouin, sawn na hi ua kei dia.

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?

⁹Huailou leng eite hon sawi ding, I sa pate uh inei uhi, huaite lah jahtak ngal hanga; huai sanga thupijaw in, I hinna dingin, khate Pa thuthu in I om kei ding ua hia?

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.

¹⁰Amau jaw ni sawtlou chik, hoih a sak bangjel un a honsawi ngei ua, aman bel, a siangthouna I tan sam theihna dingin, I hoihna dingin a honsawi jaw ahi.

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.

¹¹Huan, sawina himhim thuaklaiin kipahhuai in a lang keia, khasiathuai takin a lang jaw hi, thuaknungin tuh huchia sawijawta omte dingin gah khamuanhuaitak, diktatna tak a suah sak jel ahi.

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

¹²Huchiin, khut kaikhete liktou unla, khut jawte toh;

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

¹³Huan, khebai kilawisak loua, hihdama a om jawkna dingin, na khete uh dingin lamtang bawl un.

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

¹⁴Mi tengteng toh kituahna leh siangthouna delh un, huai siangthouna louin kua mahin Toupa a mu kei ding uhi:

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;

¹⁵Pilvang takin enun, huchilouin jaw Pathian hehpihna ngah zoulou kuahiam a om dinga, khakna zung banghiam hongsela nou honhihbuaiin, huaiin tuh mi tampi hihnitin a om ding ua;

¹⁶lest there be any sexually immoral person, or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.

¹⁶kingaihhat hiam, Esau banga Pathian zahlou mi hiam a hawngawm kha ding hi. Amantuh a tamasahihna an khatvei nek in khawngta hi.

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.

¹⁷Huainung in vualzawlna tuh gouluah a ut inleng, khitui kekawm in phatuamngai takin zawng mahleh, kisikna hun amuh louh ziak in paih in a awmta chih na thei ngal ua.

¹⁸For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,

¹⁸Nouzaw tangkhawlh theih, meia kangte, mei vomte, mialte, huihpite,

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,

¹⁹pengkul ginnate, thugen ging awmnate tung nahi ngal kei ua; hua ging za tentuh thudang himhim a kiang a gen nawnlou ding in angen ua;

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

²⁰sa nangawn in huai tang a khawih aleh suang a denlup in a awm ding ahi, chih, thupiakpen a thuak thei ta ngalkei ua;

²¹and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.” Deuteronomy 9:19

²¹A thil muh peuhmah uh a kihtakhuai mahmah, huchi in, Mosi in, ka lau a, ka naklin mahmah achi hial hi.

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

²²Himahleh Ziontangte, Pathian hing khua, van Jerusalemte, sim zawhloh angel hawn ki khawmpite,

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,

²³Tamasa van a min tuang saptuam hawn kiangte, Pathian, mitengteng naihtuah pa kiang bang, midiktat hihhawihkimte kha kiang bang,

²⁴to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, Jeremiah 31:31 and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.

²⁴Jesu, thukhunthak palai kiang bang, sisan theh, Abel sisan sang a thu hoih zaw genpa kiang bang tung nahi zaw uhi.

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,

²⁵Thugenpa tuh nana deihkei kha ding uh, pilvang un. Lei a amaute taihilh khawlpa a deihlouh ua bawn, gimthuakna a pelh louh ngal un tuh, eite, van a kipan a hon taihilhpa ki lehheisante, ipel kei hawldiak ding hi.

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

²⁶Huchihlaiin huai aw inlei a hihling a; himahleh tunzaw, Khatvei lei kia hilou in, van leng ka hih ling nawn ding chi in, a kichiam zawta hi.

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.

²⁷Huan, Khatvei ka hihling nawn ding chihin, thil lingloute tuh a om gige theihna ding in, thil nalingte tuh thil siamte bang phet in, suanmang in a om ding chih atheisak hi.

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

²⁸Huchiin, gam hih lin vuallouh itan ziakin, hehpihna inei ding ua, huaziakin zah leh laudan siam kawm in, Pathian pahtaklam na isem thei ding uh a nahi;Pathian zaw mi katmang hat mei ahi ngala.

²⁹for our God is a consuming fire. Deuteronomy 4:24

²⁹Pathian zaw mi katmang hat mei ahi ngala.
