¶ Se sak fè, ann grandi toujou pou n' ka vin granmoun nan konfyans nou. Ann kite dèyè premye konesans yo te ban nou sou Kris la. Nou pa pral rekòmanse ankò ap poze premye baz travay la: nou pa pral di nou ankò jan nou dwe chanje lavi nou, jan nou dwe wete konfyans nou te gen nan zèv ki pa vo anyen yo pou n' mete l' nan Bondye.

Non, nou pa pral pale nou ankò sou batèm yo, sou sèvis pou mete men sou tèt moun ki kwè yo, sou keksyon lè moun mouri yo va leve, sou jijman ki p'ap janm kase a.

Ann pouse pi devan! Se sa nou pral fè koulye a, si Bondye penmèt nou sa.

Moun ki te resevwa limyè Bondye a yon fwa deja, yo te goute kado Bondye te ba yo a, yo te resevwa pòsyon pa yo nan Sentespri Bondye a.

Yo te goute pawòl Bondye a, yo te wè l' te gou. Yo te santi nan lavi yo pouvwa k'ap travay nan tan k'ap vini an.

Apre sa, si yo voye konfyans yo nan Bondye jete, pa gen mwayen pou yo tounen vin jwenn Bondye ankò. Paske, yo kloure Pitit Bondye a yon dezyèm fwa sou kwa a. Yo fè l' wont devan tout moun ankò.

Lè yon tè bwè dlo lapli ki tonbe anpil sou li, si li pouse plant ki ka sèvi moun k'ap travay li a, Bondye ap beni li.

Men, si li pouse pikan ak pengwen, li pa vo anyen. Bondye riske ba l' madichon. Lè sa a, yo ka boule li.

¶ Nou mèt wè m' ap pale konsa, frè m' yo, mwen gen anpil konfyans nan nou toujou. Mwen konnen nou nan chemen ki pou delivre nou an.

10 Paske, Bondye pa mechan pou l' ta bliye travay nou fè, ni renmen nou moutre nou gen pou li, lè nou t'ap rann moun k'ap viv pou li yo anpil sèvis, sèvis n'ap rann yo jouk koulye a toujou.

11 Men, mwen ta renmen wè nou toujou kenbe konsa nan aktivite travay la jouk sa kaba, konsa sa n'ap tann lan ka rive vre.

12 Mwen pa ta vle nou lage kò nou nan fè parès. Okontrè, se pou nou swiv egzanp moun ki gen konfyans yo, moun ki rete tann ak pasyans. Se poutèt sa yo te resevwa sa Bondye te pwomèt la.

13 Lè Bondye te fè Abraram pwomès la, li te fè sèman li t'ap kenbe li. Li fè sèman an sou tèt li, paske pa gen pi gran pase li.

14 Li te di: Mwen pwomèt ou pou m' beni ou, pou m' ba ou anpil anpil pitit pitit.

15 Abraram te rete tann ak pasyans. Se konsa li resevwa sa Bondye te pwomèt li a.

16 Lè moun ap fè sèman, yo sèmante sou sa ki pi gran pase yo. Yo pran sèman an pou yon garanti pou fini tout diskisyon yo ka gen yonn ak lòt.

17 Men, Bondye te vle fè moun ki pou te resevwa sa l' te pwomèt la wè aklè li pa t'ap janm chanje pawòl. Se sak fè, li ajoute sèman an dèyè pwomès la.

18 Konsa, vin gen de bagay la a ki pa ka chanje, de bagay Bondye pa ka bay manti sou yo. Nou menm menm ki jwenn yon pwoteksyon nan men l', sa ankouraje nou anpil pou nou kenbe byen fèm espwa Bondye ofri nou an.

19 Espwa sa a, se tankou yon lank batiman li ye pou nou. L'ap kenbe nanm nou fè m', byen solid. Lank sa nou genyen an, li chouke jouk lòt bò rido tanp ki nan syèl la.

20 Se la Jezi te antre an premye pou louvri chemen an pou nou, li menm ki te tounen yon granprèt pou tout tan, menm jan ak Mèlkisedèk.

Therefore let us move beyond(A) the elementary teachings(B) about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,[a](C) and of faith in God, instruction about cleansing rites,[b](D) the laying on of hands,(E) the resurrection of the dead,(F) and eternal judgment. And God permitting,(G) we will do so.

It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened,(H) who have tasted the heavenly gift,(I) who have shared in the Holy Spirit,(J) who have tasted the goodness(K) of the word of God(L) and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen[c] away, to be brought back to repentance.(M) To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God(N) all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed.(O) In the end it will be burned.

Even though we speak like this, dear friends,(P) we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation. 10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.(Q) 11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope(R) for may be fully realized. 12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate(S) those who through faith and patience(T) inherit what has been promised.(U)

The Certainty of God’s Promise

13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,(V) 14 saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.”[d](W) 15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.(X)

16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.(Y) 17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging(Z) nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised,(AA) he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie,(AB) we who have fled to take hold of the hope(AC) set before us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,(AD) 20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf.(AE) He has become a high priest(AF) forever, in the order of Melchizedek.(AG)
