Yehudim in Moshiach 6
Orthodox Jewish Bible
6 Therefore, let us leave behind the stam (elementary) ikarim (essentials) of the dvarim hahora’ah (words of teaching) about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and let us move ahead to hitbagrut (maturity), not laying again a foundation of teshuva from ma’asim metim (dead works) and Emunah toward Hashem,
2 Of divrei torah on tevilot and tohorah and s’michat yadayim and of the Techiyas HaMesim and of the Mishpat Olam.
3 And this we shall do, im yirtzeh Hashem (if the L-rd wills).
4 For it is impossible for those who once received the Ohr Hashem, having tasted of the matanah of Shomayim and having become chavrusa partners of the Ruach Hakodesh,
5 And having tasted the goodness of the Dvar Hashem and the nifla’ot of the Olam Habah,
6 and then, having fallen away, and become shmad‖it is impossible to renew them again to teshuva, because they have pierced to themselves the Ben HaElohim on HaEtz HaKelalat Hashem and have again held him up to contempt and open bushah (shame).
7 For the Adamah (Mud), which drinks the geshem (rain) that often falls upon it, and brings forth ESEV (plants, BERESHIS 1:11) suitable for those for whom it is cultivated, receives a bracha from Hashem;
8 But if Adamah (Mud) is producing KOTZ V’DARDAR (thorns and thistles, BERESHIS 3:18), it is worthless and near to being arurah (cursed, BERESHIS 3:17), whose Ketz (End) is for burning in Eish [T.N. the allusion is to Eish Gehinnom].
9 However, Chaverim, even though we speak in this way, we have been convinced of better things concerning you and of things belonging to Yeshua’at Eloheinu.
10 For Hashem is not unjust so as to forget your po’al (work) and the ahavah which you have shown toward ha-Shem of him, having rendered avodas kodesh ministry service to the Kadoshim, ken, and you are still serving them.
11 And we desire that each one of you show the same zerizut (diligence) so as to realize the full bitachon of the tikvah (hope) until HaKetz,
12 That you not become atzlanit (sluggards) but imitators of the ones who through Emunah and zitzfleisch (patience) inherit the havtachot (promises).
13 For when Hashem gave the havtachah (promise) to Avraham Avinu, als (since) Hashem had no one greater by which to make a shevu’ah (oath), Hashem made a shevu’ah by Himself, [BERESHIS 22:16]
14 Saying "Surely blessing I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you" BERESHIS 22:17).
15 And thus, having waited with zitzfleisch, Avraham Avinu obtained the havtachah (promise).
16 For Bnei Adam make a shevu’ah by someone greater than themselves, and a shevu’ah given as confirmation, settles every matter decisively.
17 Similarly, when Hashem wanted to demonstrate even more emphatically to the yoreshim (heirs) of the havtachah (promise) the unchangeableness of his willed tachlis (purpose), Hashem guaranteed it with a shevu’ah,
18 In order that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for Hashem to speak sheker, we may have chozek (strength) and great encouragement, we who say that "he is my MAKHSEH (refuge, shelter TEHILLIM 91:2)" and have taken hold of the tikvah (hope) set before us.
19 This tikvah we have as an ogen (anchor) for the neshamah, a tikvah both firm and secure, which enters inside the parokhet,
20 Where Yehoshua has entered as a foroisgeier (forerunner) on behalf of us, having become a KOHEN L’OLAM AL DIVRATI MALKI TZEDEK ("Kohen forever according to the order of Malki Tzedek" Ps 110:4).
Hebrews 6
Complete Jewish Bible
6 Therefore, leaving behind the initial lessons about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of turning from works that lead to death, trusting God, 2 and instruction about washings, s’mikhah, the resurrection of the dead and eternal punishment. 3 And, God willing, this is what we will do.
4 For when people have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become sharers in the Ruach HaKodesh, 5 and tasted the goodness of God’s Word and the powers of the ‘olam haba — 6 and then have fallen away — it is impossible to renew them so that they turn from their sin, as long as for themselves they keep executing the Son of God on the stake all over again and keep holding him up to public contempt. 7 For the land that soaks up frequent rains and then brings forth a crop useful to its owners receives a blessing from God; 8 but if it keeps producing thorns and thistles, it fails the test and is close to being cursed;[a] in the end, it will be burned.
9 Now even though we speak this way, dear friends, we are confident that you have the better things that come with being delivered. 10 For God is not so unfair as to forget your work and the love you showed for him in your past service to his people — and in your present service too. 11 However, we want each one of you to keep showing the same diligence right up to the end, when your hope will be realized; 12 so that you will not become sluggish, but will be imitators of those who by their trust and patience are receiving what has been promised.
13 For when God made his promise to Avraham, he swore an oath to do what he had promised; and since there was no one greater than himself for him to swear by, he swore by himself[b] 14 and said,
“I will certainly bless you,
and I will certainly give you many descendants”;[c]
15 and so, after waiting patiently, Avraham saw the promise fulfilled. 16 Now people swear oaths by someone greater than themselves, and confirmation by an oath puts an end to all dispute. 17 Therefore, when God wanted to demonstrate still more convincingly the unchangeable character of his intentions to those who were to receive what he had promised, he added an oath to the promise; 18 so that through two unchangeable things, in neither of which God could lie, we, who have fled to take a firm hold on the hope set before us, would be strongly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as a sure and safe anchor for ourselves, a hope that goes right on through to what is inside the parokhet, 20 where a forerunner has entered on our behalf, namely, Yeshua, who has become a cohen gadol forever, to be compared with Malki-Tzedek.[d]

Hebreos 6
La Biblia de las Américas
6 Por tanto, dejando(A) las enseñanzas elementales[a](B) acerca de Cristo[b], avancemos hacia la madurez[c](C), no echando otra vez el fundamento del arrepentimiento de obras muertas(D) y de la fe hacia Dios, 2 de la enseñanza sobre lavamientos[d](E), de la imposición de manos(F), de la resurrección de los muertos(G) y del juicio eterno(H). 3 Y esto haremos, si Dios lo permite(I). 4 Porque en el caso de los que fueron una vez iluminados(J), que probaron del don celestial(K) y fueron hechos partícipes del Espíritu Santo(L), 5 que gustaron(M) la buena palabra de Dios(N) y los poderes del siglo venidero(O), 6 pero después cayeron, es imposible renovarlos otra vez(P) para arrepentimiento, puesto que de nuevo crucifican para sí mismos al Hijo de Dios(Q) y le exponen a la ignominia pública. 7 Porque la tierra que bebe la lluvia que con frecuencia cae[e] sobre ella y produce vegetación útil a aquellos por los cuales es cultivada(R), recibe bendición de Dios; 8 pero si produce espinos y abrojos no vale nada, está próxima a ser maldecida[f](S), y termina por ser quemada[g].
Esperanza de cosas mejores
9 Pero en cuanto a vosotros, amados(T), aunque hablemos de esta manera, estamos persuadidos de las cosas que son mejores y que pertenecen a la salvación. 10 Porque Dios no es injusto(U) como para olvidarse de vuestra obra y del amor(V) que habéis mostrado hacia su nombre, habiendo servido, y sirviendo aún, a los santos(W). 11 Pero deseamos que cada uno de vosotros muestre la misma solicitud hasta el fin(X), para alcanzar la plena[h] seguridad(Y) de la esperanza, 12 a fin de que no seáis perezosos, sino imitadores(Z) de los que mediante la fe y la paciencia(AA) heredan las promesas(AB).
La promesa de Dios es segura
13 Pues cuando Dios hizo la promesa a Abraham(AC), no pudiendo jurar por uno mayor, juró por sí mismo(AD), 14 diciendo: Ciertamente te bendeciré y ciertamente te multiplicare(AE). 15 Y así, habiendo esperado con paciencia(AF), obtuvo la promesa. 16 Porque los hombres juran por uno mayor que ellos mismos(AG), y para ellos un juramento dado como confirmación es el fin de toda discusión(AH). 17 Por lo cual[i] Dios, deseando mostrar más plenamente a los herederos de la promesa(AI) la inmutabilidad de su propósito(AJ), interpuso[j] un juramento, 18 a fin de que por dos cosas inmutables, en las cuales es imposible que Dios mienta(AK), los que hemos buscado refugio seamos grandemente animados[k] para asirnos de la esperanza puesta delante de nosotros(AL), 19 la cual tenemos como ancla del alma, una esperanza(AM) segura y firme, y que penetra hasta detrás[l] del velo(AN), 20 donde Jesús entró por nosotros(AO) como precursor, hecho, según el orden de Melquisedec(AP), Sumo Sacerdote para siempre.
