1 Na, i tenei kapua nui o nga kaiwhakaatu e karapoti nei i a tatou, whakarerea e tatou nga whakataimaha katoa, me te hara whakaeke tata, kia manawanui hoki tatou ki te oma i te omanga e takoto nei i to tatou aroaro;
2 Me te titiro pu ano ki a Ihu, ki te kaitimata, ki te kaiwhakaoti i te whakapono; i whakaaro hoki ia ki te hari i tona aroaro, a whakamanawanui ana ki te ripeka, whakahawea ana ki te whakama, na kua noho ki matau o te torona o te Atua.
3 Whakaaroa hoki ia i whakamanawanui nei ki taua totohe nui a te hunga hara ki a ia, kei hoha o koutou ngakau, kei ngakaukore koutou.
4 Ko ta koutou pakanga, kahore ano kia tae noa ki te toto i a koutou e whawhai na ki te hara.
5 A kua wareware koutou ki te kupu whakahau e korero nei ki a koutou, me te mea he tama koutou, E taku tama, kaua e whakahawea ki ta te Ariki papaki; kei ngakaukore hoki ina riria e ia:
6 E papaki ana hoki te Ariki ki tana e aroha ai, e whiua ana hoki e ia nga tama katoa e whakatamarikitia ana ki a ia.
7 Hei pakinga ta koutou e manawanui ai; e rite ana ta te Atua meatanga ki a koutou ki tana ki nga tama tupu; ko wai hoki te tama e kore e pakia e tona papa?
8 Ki te kahore ia o koutou pakinga, te mea e whakawhiwhia ana ki te katoa, he poriro koutou, ehara i te tama.
9 Tetahi, he matua ano o tatou no te wahi ki te kikokiko, he mea papaki tatou na ratou; i hopohopo ano tatou ki a ratou: kaua ianei e nui noa atu to tatou ngohengohe ki te Matua o nga wairua, kia ora ai?
10 Ko ta ratou papaki hoki he torutoru nei nga ra, he mea ano na ta ratou ake i whakaaro ai; ko ta tenei ia hei pai mo tatou, kia whiwhi ai tatou ki tona tapu.
11 Ko nga pakinga katoa, e kore e kiia inaianei hei whakahari, engari hei whakapouri: muri iho ia ka puta mai te hua rangimarie o te tika, ki te hunga e whakamahia ana ki taua mea.
12 Heoi kia ara nga ringaringa kua tukua iho, me nga turi ngoikore:
13 Hanga hoki etahi huarahi tika mo o koutou waewae, kei whakapeaua ketia atu te kopa; engari kia ora ake i te mate.
14 Whaia te rongo kia mau ki te katoa, me te tapu hoki, ki te kahore hoki tenei e kore tetahi tangata e kite i te Ariki.
15 Me te titiro marie kei hapa tetahi i to te Atua aroha noa; kei pihi ake tetahi pakiaka o te kawa hei whakararuraru, e poke ai te tokomaha;
16 Kei moepuku tetahi, kei whakarihariha ranei, kei pera me Ehau: i hokona ra e ia tona matamuatanga ki te kainga kotahi.
17 E matau ana hoki koutou ki tona hiahia i muri kia riro i a ia te manaaki, a kapea ana ia: kihai hoki i kitea he wahi mo te ripeneta; i rapua marietia ano e ia me te heke ano o nga roimata.
18 Ehara hoki i te mea kua tae koutou ki te maunga e taea te whakapa atu, ki te ahi e ka ana, ki te pango kerekere, ki te pouri, ki te tupuhi,
19 Ki te tangi o te tetere, ki te reo e korero ana; i inoi ra te hunga i rangona ai kia kaua he kupu ki a ratou i muri iho:
20 Kihai hoki ratou i kaha ake ki te mea i whakaritea mai, Na, ahakoa he kararehe e pa atu ki te maunga, me aki ki te kohatu;
21 Koia ano te mataku o te mea i puta mai ra, i mea ai a Mohi, Mataku rawa ahau, wiri rawa:
22 Engari kua tae nei koutou ki Maunga Hiona, ki te pa o te Atua ora, ki Hiruharama i te rangi, ki nga mano tini o nga anahera,
23 Ki te huihui nui, ki te hahi o nga matamua, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te rangi, ki te Atua hoki, ki te kaiwhakawa o nga tangata katoa, ki nga wairua ano o te hunga tika kua oti te mea kia tino tika,
24 Ki a Ihu ano hoki, ki te takawaenga o te kawenata hou, ki nga toto o te tauhiuhinga, he pai ake nei nga korero i to Apera.
25 Kia mahara kei whakarere koutou i tenei e korero mai nei. Ki te mea hoki kihai i mawhiti te hunga i paopao ki tera i korero ra i runga i te whenua, ina e kore rawa ano tatou, ki te tahuri ke atu i tenei kua korero mai nei i te rangi:
26 Ngaueue ana te whenua i tona reo i reira: inaianei ia kua puaki tana kupu whakaari, kua mea ia, Kia kotahi ano meatanga, a ehara i te mea ko te whenua anake, ko te rangi ano hoki taku e whakangaueue ai.
27 Ko taua kupu nei hoki, Kia kotahi meatanga, hei whakakite i te putanga ketanga o nga mea ka whakangaueuetia ra, he mea hanga hoki, mau tonu iho ai nga mea e kore nei e whakangaueuetia.
28 Na, ka riro nei i a tatou he kingitanga e kore e taea te whakangaueue, kia whiwhi tatou ki te aroha noa e manakohia mai ai ta tatou e mahi nei ki te Atua i runga i te hopohopo, i te wehi:
29 He ahi hoki e kai ana to tatou Atua.
1 Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us,
2 looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;
3 for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls -- being faint.
4 Not yet unto blood did ye resist -- with the sin striving;
5 and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,
6 for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;`
7 if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?
8 and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.
9 Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising [us], and we were reverencing [them]; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?
10 for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;
11 and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.
12 Wherefore, the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees set ye up;
13 and straight paths make for your feet, that that which is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed;
14 peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,
15 looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;
16 lest any one be a fornicator, or a profane person, as Esau, who in exchange for one morsel of food did sell his birthright,
17 for ye know that also afterwards, wishing to inherit the blessing, he was disapproved of, for a place of reformation he found not, though with tears having sought it.
18 For ye came not near to the mount touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of sayings, which those having heard did entreat that a word might not be added to them,
20 for they were not bearing that which is commanded, `And if a beast may touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or with an arrow shot through,`
21 and, (so terrible was the sight,) Moses said, `I am fearful exceedingly, and trembling.`
22 But, ye came to Mount Zion, and to a city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers,
23 to the company and assembly of the first-born in heaven enrolled, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect,
24 and to a mediator of a new covenant -- Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!
25 See, may ye not refuse him who is speaking, for if those did not escape who refused him who upon earth was divinely speaking -- much less we who do turn away from him who [speaketh] from heaven,
26 whose voice the earth shook then, and now hath he promised, saying, `Yet once -- I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven;`
27 and this -- `Yet once` -- doth make evident the removal of the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the things not shaken may remain;
28 wherefore, a kingdom that cannot be shaken receiving, may we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly, with reverence and religious fear;
29 for also our God [is] a consuming fire.
