(A)Noolwekyo tulekeraawo okuyiga ebintu bya Kristo ebisookerwako, tukule mu by’omwoyo. Tulekeraawo okwogera ku bisookerwako byokka, ng’okwenenya ebikolwa ebireeta okufa, by’ebikolwa eby’obulombolombo, naye tuteekwa n’okuba n’okukkiriza mu Katonda. (B)Tulekeraawo okuyigiriza obulombolombo obw’okubatizibwa, n’obw’okussibwako emikono, n’enjigiriza ey’okuzuukira kw’abafu, n’okusalirwa omusango ogw’olubeerera. (C)Katonda nga bw’asiima, tukule mu mwoyo.

(D)Kizibu okuzza mu kwenenya abo abaamala okufuna ekitangaala ne balega ku birungi eby’omu ggulu, ne bafuuka abassa ekimu mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu, ne bamanya obulungi bw’ekigambo kya Katonda, ne balega ku maanyi ag’emirembe egigenda okujja, (E)naye ne bava ku Katonda. Baba bakomerera Omwana wa Katonda omulundi ogwokubiri, ne bamuswaza mu lwatu.

Ettaka ligasa omulimi, bwe lifuna obulungi enkuba, ne lisigibwamu ensigo era ne muvaamu ebibala ebirungi. Ne Katonda aliwa omukisa. (F)Naye bwe libaza amatovu, n’amaggwa, ettaka eryo teriba lya mugaso liba kumpi n’okukolimirwa. Ku nkomerero, ebimezeeko byokebwa.

(G)Naye abaagalwa, newaakubadde twogera bwe tutyo mmwe tetubabuusabuusa. Tumanyi nga mulina ebintu ebirungi era mukola ebintu ebiraga nti muli mu kkubo ery’obulokozi. 10 (H)Kubanga Katonda mwenkanya tayinza kwerabira mulimu gwammwe omunene bwe gutyo, n’okwagala kwe mwagala erinnya lye, era amanyi bwe mwaweereza abantu be, era bwe mukyeyongera okubaweereza. 11 (I)Era twagala buli omu ku mmwe yeeyongere okulaganga obunyiikivu obwo okutuusiza ddala ku nkomerero, lwe mulifuna ekyo kye musuubira. 12 (J)Tetwagala mube bagayaavu, wabula mube ng’abo abakkiriza era abagumiikiriza ne bafuna ekyasuubizibwa.

Obukakafu bw’ebisuubizo bya Katonda

13 (K)Katonda bwe yasuubiza Ibulayimu, nga bwe wataali mulala gw’ayinza kwerayirira amusinga, yeerayirira yekka. 14 (L)Yalayira ng’agamba nti, “Ndikuweera ddala omukisa, era n’okukwaza nnaakwazanga.” 15 (M)Bw’atyo Ibulayimu bwe yalindirira n’obugumiikiriza, n’aweebwa ekyasuubizibwa.

16 (N)Abantu balayira omuntu abasinga obukulu, ku nkomerero kye balayidde kye kisalawo. 17 (O)Ne Katonda bw’atyo, kyeyava ateekawo ekirayiro ng’ayagala okukakasiza ddala abasika b’ekisuubizo nti talijjulula ekyo kye yasuubiza. 18 (P)Katonda yakikola bw’atyo, okutulaga ebintu bibiri ebitajjulukuka, nti akuuma ekisuubizo kye awamu n’ekirayiro kye. Talimba. Noolwekyo ffe abaddukira gy’ali okutulokola, tusaana okuba abagumu kubanga talirema kutuwa ebyo bye yasuubiza. 19 (Q)Essuubi eryo lye linywereza ddala emmeeme zaffe ng’ennanga bw’enyweza eryato. Essuubi eryo lituyingiza munda w’eggigi. 20 (R)Yesu eyatusooka yo, eyo gye yayingira ku lwaffe, bwe yafuuka Kabona Asinga Obukulu ow’emirembe gyonna, ng’olubu lwa Merukizeddeeki bwe luli.

The Peril of Not Progressing

Therefore, (A)leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to [a]perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from (B)dead works and of faith toward God, (C)of the doctrine of baptisms, (D)of laying on of hands, (E)of resurrection of the dead, (F)and of eternal judgment. And this [b]we will do if God permits.

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted (G)the heavenly gift, and (H)have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, [c]if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, (I)since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, (J)receives blessing from God; (K)but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

A Better Estimate

But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 For (L)God is not unjust to forget (M)your work and [d]labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have (N)ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence (O)to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become [e]sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience (P)inherit the promises.

God’s Infallible Purpose in Christ

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, (Q)He swore by Himself, 14 saying, (R)“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the (S)promise. 16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and (T)an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to (U)the heirs of promise (V)the [f]immutability of His counsel, [g]confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two [h]immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to (W)lie, we [i]might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope (X)set before us.

19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, (Y)and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 (Z)where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, (AA)having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
