XII.
Cīsšonas un atolgōjums.
1 Tai kai mums vysapkōrt ir līcinīku mōkūņs, tad svīssim nūst vysus gryutumus, seviški grāku pynaklus un dūsimēs ar iztureibu mums prīšķā stōvūšōs saceikstēs, 2 un skateisimēs uz Jezus, ticeibas nūdybynōtōju un pīpiļdeitōju, kas prīcas dēļ, kaida jū sagaideja, pōrcīte krysta mūkas un pazamōšonu, bet tagad sēd pa Dīva krāsla lobajai. 3 Apdūmojit Tū, kas nu grēcinīkim pōrcīte tik lelu vojōšonu, lai jyus napagurtu un napalyktu vōji gorā.
4 Jyus ceiņā pret grāku vēļ naesit turējušīs pretim leidz ašņam, 5 un asot aizmērsuši tū pamūdynōjumu, kurs jums kai bārnim ir saceits: Muns bārns, napasmōdej Kunga pōrmōceišonas un naaizacērt, kad jys tevi nūrōj. 6 Kuru Kungs mīļoj, tū pōrmōca. Jys per ikvīnu dālu, kuru pījam.
7 Pōrmōceišonā esit pacīteigi. Dīvs pret jums izatur kai pret bārnim. Un kur gon byutu taids bārns, kura tāvs nabyutu pōrmōcejis? 8 Jo jyus palyktu bez pōrmōceišonas, kurai visi ir padūti, tad jyus nabyutu eistī, bet gon nalykumeigī bārni. 9 Un jo myusus pōrmōceja myusu mīseigī tāvi, bet mes jūs cīnejam, vai tad tū vairōk nav jōpasadūd goru tāvam, lai mēs dzeivōtu? 10 Tī myusus paturēja tikai nagaru laiku un pēc sovim īskotim pōrmōceja, bet šytys myusus pōrmōca myusu lobā, lai mes byutu Jō svātuma daleibnīki. 11 Lai gon izalīk, ka kotra pōrmōceišona tamā breidī na prīcu, bet gon sōpi sagōdoj, tūmār vēļōk jei tim, kas ir pōrmōceiti, dūd mīru nasūšū taisneibas augli. 12 Tōpēc izstīpit taišni nūlaistōs rūkas un treisūšūs ceļgolus 13 un ar sovom kōjom ejat taisnus ceļus. Lai tys, kas ir klybs, nasamaļdeitu, bet gon palyktu vasals.
Breidynōjumi un pamūdynōjumi.
14 Vysvairōk pyulejitēs par mīru ar visim un svātumu, jo bez tō nivīnam Kunga naredzēt. 15 Uzmonit, lai nivīns nu Dīva žēlesteibas naatkrystu, lai naizaugtu kaida ryugta sakne, naizdareitu zaudējuma un nasamaitōtu cytu; 16 lai nabyutu kaids pakleidis un vīglprōteigs kai Ezaus, kurs par vīnu ēdīni atdeve sovu pyrmdzimteibu. 17 Jyus gon zynot, ka jys vēļōk gribēja svēteibu montōt, bet tyka atraideits. Un jys naatroda īspējameibas izleigt, lai gon jōs meklēja ar osorom.
18 Jyus naasot pīgōjuši pi naaizskarama kolna, ni pi dadzynojūšōs guņs, ni arī pi myglas, tymsuma un nagaisa, 19 ni pi taures skaņas, ni ari pi runas bolsa, kuru dzēržūt tī ļaudis lyudze, lai pōrstōtu uz jim runōt, 20 jo jī navarūt izturet tō, kas jim beja saceits: Jo pat lūps pīsaskartu pi kolna, lai teik nūmātōts ar akminim. 21 Jā, tik šausmeiga beja tei parōdeiba, ka pat Moizešs īsasauce: Es treisu un drebu. 22 Bet jyus asot pīgōjuši pi Siona kolna, pi dzeivō Dīva piļsātas, pi debeseigōs Jeruzalemes, pi naskaitamim engeļu pulkim, 23 pi pyrmdzymtūs draudzes, kas ir pīraksteita dabasūs, pi Dīva, vysu tīsōtōja, pi piļneibu sasnāgušūs taineigūs dvēselem, 24 pi Jezus, Jaunō Īstōdejuma Vydōtōja un pi apsvaideišonas ašņa, kurs sauc daudz styprōk kai Abeļa asnis.
25 Raugat, ka jyus napasmōdātu Tō, kas te runoj. Jo nu strōpes naizbāga tī, kas pasmōdēja jū tad, kad jys runōja vērs zemes, tū vairōk naizbēgsim mes, jo atsastōsim nu Tō, kas (mums runoj) nu dabasim. 26 Tūlaik Jō bolss satrycynōja tikai zemi, bet tagad jys sludynoj saceidams: Vēļ reizi Es satrycynōšu na tik vīn zemi, bet arī dabasus. 27 Bet tys „vēļ reizi“ nūrōda tū, ka tys, kas, kai radeits, satrycynōšonai ir padūts tiks pōrmaineits, lai palyktu tys, kas satrycynōšonai nav padūts. 28 Tai kai mes montōsim nasatrycynojamu vaļsteibu, tad mums jōir pateiceigim un jōkolpoj Dīvam ar gūdbejeibu un baili, 29 jo „myusu Dīvs ir kai aprejūšō guņs.“
God Our Father
1 As for us, we have this large crowd of witnesses around us. So then, let us rid ourselves of everything that gets in the way, and of the sin which holds on to us so tightly, and let us run with determination the race that lies before us. 2 Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God's throne.
3 Think of what he went through; how he put up with so much hatred from sinners! So do not let yourselves become discouraged and give up. 4 For in your struggle against sin you have not yet had to resist to the point of being killed. 5 Have you forgotten the encouraging words which God speaks to you as his children?
“My child, pay attention when the Lord corrects you,
and do not be discouraged when he rebukes you.
6 Because the Lord corrects everyone he loves,
and punishes everyone he accepts as a child.”
7 Endure what you suffer as being a father's punishment; your suffering shows that God is treating you as his children. Was there ever a child who was not punished by his father? 8 If you are not punished, as all his children are, it means you are not real children, but bastards. 9 In the case of our human fathers, they punished us and we respected them. How much more, then, should we submit to our spiritual Father and live! 10 Our human fathers punished us for a short time, as it seemed right to them; but God does it for our own good, so that we may share his holiness. 11 When we are punished, it seems to us at the time something to make us sad, not glad. Later, however, those who have been disciplined by such punishment reap the peaceful reward of a righteous life.
Instructions and Warnings
12 Lift up your tired hands, then, and strengthen your trembling knees! 13 Keep walking on straight paths, so that the lame foot may not be disabled, but instead be healed.
14 Try to be at peace with everyone, and try to live a holy life, because no one will see the Lord without it. 15 Guard against turning back from the grace of God. Let no one become like a bitter plant that grows up and causes many troubles with its poison. 16 Let no one become immoral or unspiritual like Esau, who for a single meal sold his rights as the older son. 17 Afterward, you know, he wanted to receive his father's blessing; but he was turned back, because he could not find any way to change what he had done, even though in tears he looked for it.
18 You have not come, as the people of Israel came, to what you can feel, to Mount Sinai with its blazing fire, the darkness and the gloom, the storm, 19 the blast of a trumpet, and the sound of a voice. When the people heard the voice, they begged not to hear another word, 20 because they could not bear the order which said, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.” 21 The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling and afraid!”
22 Instead, you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, with its thousands of angels. 23 You have come to the joyful gathering of God's first-born, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, who is the judge of all people, and to the spirits of good people made perfect. 24 You have come to Jesus, who arranged the new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that promises much better things than does the blood of Abel.
25 Be careful, then, and do not refuse to hear him who speaks. Those who refused to hear the one who gave the divine message on earth did not escape. How much less shall we escape, then, if we turn away from the one who speaks from heaven! 26 His voice shook the earth at that time, but now he has promised, “I will once more shake not only the earth but heaven as well.” 27 The words “once more” plainly show that the created things will be shaken and removed, so that the things that cannot be shaken will remain.
28 Let us be thankful, then, because we receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Let us be grateful and worship God in a way that will please him, with reverence and awe; 29 because our God is indeed a destroying fire.
