Hepelū 12
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
1KO IA, ko e meʻa ʻi he kāpui ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻao ʻoe kau fakamoʻoni tokolahi pehē, ke tau siʻaki foki ʻae meʻa mamafa kotoa pē, mo e angahala ʻoku tau moʻuangofua ki ai, pea tau feleleʻi ʻi he fakakukafi ʻae fakapuepue kuo tofi ʻi hotau ʻao.
2looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
2ʻO sio pe kia Sisu ko e kamataʻanga mo e ngataʻanga ʻoe tui; ʻaia ne ne kātaki ʻae pekia ʻi he ʻakau, mo ne taʻetokanga ki he fakamā, ko e meʻa ʻi he fiefia naʻe tuku ʻi hono ʻao, pea kuo nofo eni ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻafioʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
3Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
3Ke mou tokangaʻi ia naʻa ne kātaki ʻae angatuʻu pehē mei he kau angahala kiate ia, telia naʻa mou fiu mo vaivai ʻi homou loto.
4In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
4ʻOku teʻeki ai ke mou fekuki ʻo aʻu ki he mate, ʻi he fekuki mo e angahala.
5And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him.
5Pea kuo ngalo ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae akonaki ʻaia ʻoku pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko e fānau, “Hoku foha, ʻoua naʻa ke taʻetokangaʻi ʻae tautea mei he ʻEiki, pe vaivai ʻi heʻene valokiʻi koe:
6For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
6He ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai ʻae ʻEiki ʻoku ne tautea, pea ʻoku ne teʻia ʻae foha kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu.”
7It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
7Kapau te mou kātaki ʻae tautea, pea ʻoku fai ai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu ʻo taau mo e ngaahi foha; he ko e foha fē ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ke tauteʻi ʻe he tamai?
8If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
8Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai tautea ʻakimoutolu, ʻaia ʻoku totofu ai kotoa pē, pea ta ko e tupu feʻauaki ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni ko e ngaahi foha.
9Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
9Kaeʻumaʻā naʻe tautea ʻakitautolu ʻe he ngaahi tamai ʻo hotau sino, pea tau fakaʻapaʻapa ki ai: ʻe ʻikai lahi muʻa ʻetau fakavaivai ki he Tamai ʻoe ngaahi laumālie, pea moʻui?
10For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.
10He ko e moʻoni naʻa nau tautea ʻo faʻiteliha pe ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho siʻi pe; ka ʻoku fai ʻe ia ke ʻaonga, ke tau kau ai ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni.
11For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
11Ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ha fiefia lolotonga ha tautea, ka ko e mamahi: hili ange ia ʻoku tupu ʻae fua fakamelino ʻoe māʻoniʻoni kiate kinautolu kuo akonekina ai.
12Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,
12Ko ia ke poupou hake ʻae nima kuo tāupe, mo e foʻi tui ʻoku vaivai;
13and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.
13Pea ngaohi ʻae ʻaluʻanga totonu ki homou vaʻe, telia naʻa fakahēʻi ʻaia ʻoku pipiki; kae fakamoʻui muʻa ia.
14Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
14Tuli ke mou melino mo e kakai kotoa pē, pea ki he māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ka ʻikai maʻu, ʻe ʻikai mamata ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ki he ʻEiki:
15See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;
15ʻO vakavakai lahi telia naʻa tomui ha taha ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua; telia naʻa ai ha aka kona ʻe tupu pea fakamamahiʻi ai ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻuliʻi ai ʻae tokolahi;
16that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.
16Telia naʻa ai ha taha feʻauaki pe ha manuki ʻoe meʻa tapu, ʻo hangē ko ʻIsoa, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatau hono lelei ʻoe ʻuluaki foha ʻaki ʻae meʻakai pe taha.
17For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.
17He ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻi he hili ia, pea ne fiemaʻu ʻae tāpuaki, naʻe tekeʻi ia: he naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ke liliu ʻaki hono loto, neongo ʻa ʻene kumi ia ʻi he feinga mo e loʻimata.
18For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest
18He ʻoku ʻikai ke mou hoko ni ki he moʻunga ʻe faʻa alasi, ʻaia ne vela ʻaki ʻae afi, pea ki he ʻuliʻuli, mo e fakapoʻuli, mo e afā,
19and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them.
19Pea mo e pā mai ʻoe meʻa lea mo e ongo ʻoe ngaahi lea; ʻaia naʻe kole ai ʻakinautolu naʻe fanongo ke ʻoua naʻa toe leaʻaki kiate kinautolu:
20For they could not endure the order that was given, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.”
20(He naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa tali ʻaia naʻe fekau mai, “Pea naʻa mo e manu kapau ʻe lave ki he moʻunga, ʻe tolongaki ia ʻaki ʻae maka, pe hokaʻi ke ʻasi ʻaki ʻae foʻi tao:”
21Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.”
21Pea ko hono fakailifia fau ʻoe meʻa naʻe hā mai, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Mōsese, “ʻOku ou mātuʻaki manavahē, mo tetetete:”)
22But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering,
22Ka kuo mou hoko ni ki he moʻunga ko Saione, ki he kolo ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui, ki he Selūsalema mei he langi, pea ki he fakataha ʻoe kau ʻāngelo tokolahi taʻefaʻalaua.
23and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
23Ki he fakatahaʻanga lahi, pea ko e siasi ʻoe tangata angatonu kuo fakahaohaoa,
24and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
24Pea kia Sisu ko e fakalaloa ʻoe fuakava foʻou, pea ki he taʻataʻa ʻoku luluku, ʻaia ʻoku leaʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei lahi ʻi he toto ʻo ʻEpeli.
25See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven.
25Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa mou taʻetokangaʻi ia ʻoku folofola. He kapau naʻe ʻikai hao ʻakinautolu naʻe taʻetokangaʻi ia naʻe lea ʻi māmani, ʻe fēfeeʻi ʻakitautolu, ʻo kapau te tau tafoki meiate ia ʻoku mei he langi?
26At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”
26ʻAia naʻe lulululu ʻa māmani ʻe hono leʻo ʻi he kuonga ko ia: ka kuo talaʻofa eni, ʻo pehē, “Ko e toe taha teu lulululu kae ʻikai ngata ki māmani pe, ka ko e langi foki.”
27This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.
27Pea ko e pehē, “Ko e toe taha,” ko e fakahā ʻoe hiki ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia kuo luluʻi, ʻo taau mo e ngaahi meʻa kuo ngaohi, koeʻuhi ke tuʻumaʻu pe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai faʻa luluʻi.
28Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,
28Ko ia ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻae puleʻanga, ʻe ʻikai faʻa luluʻi, ke tau kuku maʻu mo e ʻofa, ʻaia ke tau tauhi ʻaki ʻae ʻOtua ke ʻaonga, ʻi he fakaʻapaʻapa mo e manavahē:
29for our God is a consuming fire.
29He ko e afi fakaʻauha ʻa hotau ʻOtua.
