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,

¹Mekas o pervo sicharimos kai trobul te zhanas pa Kristo, ai zhas angle le Devlesa ande leski Vorba te haliaras mai mishto pa lesko chachimos. Tume vunzhe zhanen kai trobul te aven iertime pala tumare bezexa ai amboldenpe katar tumare bezexa, ai tume zhanen kai trobul te pachanpe ando Del.

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

²Tume chi trobul mai sicharimos pa bolimos, ai pa o manush kai thon le vas pe aver manush, ai o zhuvindimos andal mule, ai e kris kai chi mai getolpe.

³This will we do, if God permits.

³Zhas angle! Ai keras kadia te mekel amen O Del.

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

⁴Chi zumavas te anas tu palpale ka Del mai iek data te haliaren e lashi viasta, kai zumadian le lashe dieli le rhaioske, ai premisardian chi partia katar le Swuntone Duxoske,

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

⁵ai zhanen kai E Vorba le Devleski si lashi, ai haliaren pa le putieri la lumiake kai si te avel,

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.

⁶ai porme amboldenpe katar O Del. Tu nashtis te anes tut te keis mai iek data ke karfosardian O Shav le Devlesko kal trushul mai iek data, ke chi manglian les, ai keres anda leste lazhal, ai mares mui lestar angla le manushen.

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;

⁷Kadia si sar e phuv, dia breshind butivar pe phuv.

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

⁸O Del kerel e phuv te bariol lashe fruti ai lashe legume, numa del chorhi char ferdi, nai kanchi. Avela vurhitsime ai pharhudia le iagasa.

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

⁹Murhe vortacha, sar phenas kadala vorbi, zhanas kai si mai lashe dieli tumenge, kai avena tumenge kana tume aven skepime.

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.

¹⁰O Del sa data kerel so si vorta. Wo chi bustrel pa e buchi kai tume kerde te zhutin le shave le Devleske, ai e buchi kai tume keren akana te zhutin len. Chiri buchi sikavel chiri dragostia le Kristoski.

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

¹¹Ai mangas tume te sikaven e dragostia le kavrenge swako dies kai traiin pe phuv, zhando gor, te avela tume chi podarka.

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

¹²Chi aven kandine. Numa keren sar won kai keren buchi la pachamasa ai rhavdasa, won premin so sas shinado lenge.

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

¹³O Del shinadia le vorbi ka Abrahamos, Wo phendia le vorbi ando pesko anav ke nas aver kai sas mai baro.

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

¹⁴Wo phendia leske. " Me swuntsava les butivar, ai dav les ek shav ai lestar avena but shave, le Zhiduvuria.

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

¹⁵O Abraham azhukerdia ai O Del dia les so sas shinado leste.

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

¹⁶Kana o manush shinavel vari so, wo akharel vari kon kai si mai baro lestar te avel, ai wo kerel les te kerel so wo shindia, vai te dosharel les te na kerel so wo shinadia. Ai chi mai phenen kanch.

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;

¹⁷Ai O Del shinadia vari so ka Abrham. Wo shinadia le vorbi ando pesko anav, O Del manglia te sikavel ka Abraham kai wo shoxar chi parhuvel leski vorba.

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.

¹⁸O Del dia amenge so Wo shinadia, ai Wo sikadia amenge kai Wo chi parhuvel leski vorba. O Del nashti xoxavel. Akana sa le manush kai zhan leste te aven skepime len zor, ke won zhanen kai O Del kerel so wo phendia.

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;

¹⁹Katse si ame ek pachamos pala amare duxuria kai lel ame ka leste (ka Del) palal le swuntone zanaveski le rhaioske.

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

²⁰O Jesus vunzhe gelo kotse. Wo si amaro Baro Rasha sa data, ai lashardia o drom le manushesko te zhal ka Del. Wo si sar Melchizedek.
