eng: but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.

aoj: Atiasi apaꞌ ombel mohapa aꞌowaꞌ endilisi mope mosasa nemaf afamba God nogawaloga apaꞌ ma nosapaꞌapa mogafeꞌ nif amamba luꞌwami a wandafum aꞌowaꞌi mogaꞌ bousi isimba Godi.


eng: For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

aoj: Iꞌi apaꞌ mogawa basef endilisifi eaꞌ ma deiꞌ apaꞌ mila ukup apeꞌipi atipa mofeꞌ mondaꞌ waf awafi atapipamaf, iꞌi mondaꞌas naꞌamba, ina atiasi aꞌ anin ofa daiana negakwaha waf awafi apeꞌifi, owaꞌatin endilisi.


eng: not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

aoj: Apaꞌ ina ukup peseꞌapama waf mondakolas mogaloma esis alipisi siꞌi anis epes sandaꞌas, owaꞌi. Apaꞌ mondowaꞌ banagama atin eaꞌ mondandaꞌas atin atapis mindikilaꞌ fowaꞌ mandaꞌas. Deiꞌ main, ipaꞌ eaꞌ pegawa nemaf Dembinai nogafiꞌafii aꞌ fafiꞌi felefeleꞌ.


eng: Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

aoj: Apaꞌ mondasaꞌma ukup esis sahin owani, ma ukup pigapigaila esis amam nematawa sondaꞌ waf fasifi.


eng: let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.

aoj: Apaꞌ mondahapila hapif apeꞌini mundawalapan alihina hiahaom fasimi apaꞌ mape mogohafami. Isimba apaꞌ mondahapilas sisihis, eaꞌ ina mondahagas, owaꞌi. Deiꞌ main, apaꞌ eaꞌ mogawa, hiahawes mamahisa God nagaꞌi basef endilisifi atifi atiasi nigiꞌmif nondaꞌas datima.


eng: let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water,

aoj: Isimba atis deiꞌ apaꞌ mondafeꞌ felefeleꞌma Goda waf afamba. Apaꞌ mondakwaha waf hiafi basoꞌafi ma opalef apeꞌilifi eaꞌ mohapifana endilisi.

Apaꞌ ukup pendapoma anen aꞌ nasaꞌopa alop apeꞌipi embel kalagembeli.


eng: and having a great priest over God’s house,

aoj: Deiꞌ apaꞌ anona pris dembinai nugumafi amam nematawa Godii. Anamba Jisas atona.


eng: by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,

aoj: Apaꞌ deiꞌ ilama mofeꞌ mugawis anamba ufiaꞌw akwamba dambaiꞌwi ambal namiliꞌwi. Ufiaꞌw akwamba Jisas atona nawala lowaf anamba luꞌunai nogotaol siꞌi utai nandogwaꞌw kwagal nawis nomon. Lowaf anamba alop ananipi atop.


eng: Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ ipaꞌ alipipai, esimbel Jisasi atembel deiꞌ apaꞌ ukup banagep. Eaꞌ owaꞌ ombel mohapa ma mofeꞌ mugawis nomon anamba God nagapoma boꞌwagoma hililiꞌ aꞌowaꞌma.


eng: Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

aoj: God nokakisa waf awafi nakwahef eaꞌ. Deiꞌ maol inimba sofaꞌai mafis mais sondolali ma Goda waf awafi aꞌ owaꞌatin endilisi.


eng: “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”

aoj: Ama main nagiꞌ nowatani basef ifimba naꞌi, “Aeꞌ deiꞌ ina atiasi mondandaꞌma awami asasimi moloma waf awafi esis sandaꞌafi, aꞌ owaꞌatin.”


eng: “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;” then he says,

aoj: “Dembinai naꞌi, nogota atamba ataꞌ hiꞌilata tiliꞌ, ma main daoꞌ, aeꞌ endaꞌ anif basef lapafi elomas. Basef ifimba naꞌamba. Anaf atiasi aeꞌ aꞌ endaꞌ muꞌuli aeꞌani hiani nepe nelelemb asasilimbi eaꞌ endaꞌan nil ukup asasipi.”


eng: The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

aoj: Eaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai Godi wapani nawalapa basefa apaꞌ naꞌamba naliꞌ naꞌi,


eng: For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, Krais nasoꞌana alop ananipi atop God nondolalimana nemaf atetef, eaꞌ amamba atom nandaꞌ epes sataga boꞌwes hililiꞌ sogape dondol lifilafi. Epes isimba anen deiꞌ nape atapina nandaꞌas anaf sogataga boꞌwes hililiꞌ.


eng: from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.

aoj: Anen nape naꞌamba atapina nape nasasa nemaf afamba God nondaꞌ bousi ananisi sogafeꞌ lafela anen.


eng: but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,

aoj: Apaꞌ aman anamba nondolali atetef, nagasoꞌana anen atona nondolalima Goda nagakwaha waf awafi, amamba atom atapim mope dondol lifilafi. Anen nandaꞌam naꞌamba ma eaꞌ, deiꞌ nape naloma Goda waꞌol lagol kwahisigili banagagili.


eng: Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,

aoj: Amom pris hiami hiꞌalam malutu mandaꞌ maol nimaguf hiafi danda. Amom mondolali ma God eaꞌ mandaꞌ inimba atin nimaguf hiafi timbi tambel. Apaꞌ owaꞌ ofa inimba ina banagen nakwaha waf awafi, owaꞌatin.


eng: by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

aoj: Jisas Krais naila okom Godi hiꞌalam datima nasoꞌana alop ananipi nondolalimana nemaf atetef eaꞌ maꞌum. Isimba atis deiꞌ nandaꞌapa mataga ananipai atepa beꞌepa hililiꞌ.


eng: Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law),

aoj: Krais naliꞌ ataꞌ naꞌipa God naꞌi, “Inaꞌ nandaiwaꞌma mafis mais saham sandaꞌam sandolalima inaꞌ belita sondolalima ineꞌatai. Mafis maim amamba sondolalima ineꞌmami ma negakwaha waf awafii, amambai inaꞌ nandaiwaꞌmam.” Apaꞌ owaꞌ muꞌuli God nagasoꞌ Mosesani naꞌi esis sondolalimana atin sondape atapis.


eng: Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’”

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ main aꞌi, ‘God, inaꞌ deiꞌ netolowe. Siꞌi fowaꞌ amom profet mandaꞌ basef fail buk fagaꞌiasa aeꞌ, deiꞌ eaꞌ afiꞌi ma igaila okom ineꞌimi atom.’”


eng: You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.

aoj: Mafis saham sagaꞌatama sondolalima ineꞌami maloma hiahawes mafis mais sondolalimamenasi ma negakwaha waf awafii, amambai inaꞌ nandaiwaꞌmam.


eng: Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.

aoj: Eaꞌ afamba Krais nagafiꞌi itap apaꞌe anen naꞌipa God naꞌi, “Inaꞌ nandaiwaꞌma esis soha mafis sofaꞌai hiahawes mais sifiꞌi sondolalima inaꞌ, owaꞌ. Apaꞌ inaꞌ nandondomba anop alopa negaseꞌeap aeꞌ.


eng: For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

aoj: Esimbel bulmakau noganai baloma memei ina laꞌifima mogakwaha waf awafi esis sandaꞌafi, owaꞌatin endilisi.


eng: But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.

aoj: Afagof hiagufi danda hiahawes mafis mais sondolalima Godasi sagasaꞌma ukup asasipi ma sogogawa waf awafi asasifi atapif fapomas.


eng: Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?

aoj: Iꞌi muꞌuli inimba nendaꞌas beꞌes endilisiai, deiꞌ ina ataꞌ sondolalima God wapani, owaꞌ. Apaꞌ owaꞌ, owaꞌatin. Iꞌi esis sifiꞌi sondaꞌ lotumana asotaga beꞌes sondolalimana atinai, malogof fagape opalef esis nomoni ina fihimbaꞌmasa waf awafi asasifi, owaꞌ. Apaꞌ owaꞌ, owaꞌatin.


eng: For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

aoj: Apaꞌ mati muꞌuli God nagasoꞌ Mosesani nondolaꞌwaif dowafa hiahaom buꞌwami maꞌi anaf migiꞌ mogatagai. Hiahawes isimba apisi ina endilisi, owaꞌ. Isimba sondolaꞌwaif dowafi. Eaꞌ deiꞌ muꞌuli inimba naꞌi esis ataꞌ sondolalima God afagof danda ani, ina laꞌifina nisindiꞌamona esis sogafiꞌi felefeleꞌma God sondagalamana ma sogataga boꞌwes endilisi, owaꞌatin.


eng: so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌamba atin siꞌi Krais nasoꞌana anen hiꞌagalana nondolalima Goda nemaf atetef nagakwaha waf awafi epes hiasii. Anaf wapani nigiꞌ notambel nifiꞌi. Apaꞌ anen ina nifiꞌi ma nogakwaha waf awafi, owaꞌ. Nifiꞌi ma nogofaꞌ epes isimba sape sogohafanai.


eng: Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

aoj: Epes hiasi hiꞌilas anaf sogaꞌ atetef owagama sulutuma basef luꞌwafi God nondaꞌ kotimasafi.


eng: or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

aoj: Iꞌi anen nondaꞌam naꞌambaiai, anen aꞌ nofaꞌ akafimi nimaguf hiafi timbi tambel fowaꞌ dambadamba God nandaꞌ itap apaꞌe nifiꞌi notaga deiꞌ. Apaꞌ owaꞌatin. Apaꞌ deiꞌ felefeleꞌma nogota ahiꞌigalata Krais nataga itap apaꞌe ma nagasoꞌana anen hiꞌagalana nondolalima Goda nogokwaha waf awafi apaꞌ epesi. Nandaꞌam nemaf atetef eaꞌ maꞌum.


eng: nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,

aoj: Nemaf atetef afagof danda pris dembinai nape nagaliꞌma pris hiamii itap apaꞌe nofaꞌ esimbel mafisi nawis nomon nondolali ma God. Nawis nomon ganimba waꞌol nagape atina sagaꞌi boꞌwagon aꞌowaꞌma. Esimbel ambalemba inaꞌ aꞌ ananimbeli ma alop ananipi, owaꞌ. Apaꞌ Jisas ina nawis nomon nasoꞌ anen atona nondolalima God afagof danda siꞌi amom pris mandaꞌam, owaꞌatin.


eng: For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

aoj: Apaꞌ Krais ina nawis ipat anamba Godi epes sagalaꞌana lagufi, nondolaꞌwaifa ipat anamba endilisinai nagape ilifi, owaꞌatin. Anen nafeꞌ nawis heven atogon, anamba deiꞌ nataga alihina nape atapina ma naep Godi nandabeten nagatopalopapa.


eng: It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

aoj: Ipat anamba naloma hiahaom amamba sondolali sandaꞌ lotuma Godami, amamba mondolaꞌwaifa hiahaom amamba endilisimi magape heveni. Muꞌuli Godi naꞌi hiahaom amamba itapami motaga boꞌom hililiꞌma esimbel ambalemba atembel. Apaꞌ hiahaom amamba endilisimi magape ilifi mikilaꞌ amamba itapami. Isimba atis deiꞌ God naꞌi hiahaom amamba endilisimi magape ilifi aꞌ mondataga boꞌom hililiꞌma esimbel dambaimbeli bigikilaꞌ esimbel fowaꞌimbeli.


eng: He sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood.

aoj: Moses nowaliꞌ esimbel naꞌamba atin bail ipat anamba sandaꞌ lotuwanai naloma hiahaom amamba hiami hiꞌalam sandaꞌam sandaꞌ lotumanam God ipat anamba nomoni.


eng: saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.”

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌi, “Esimbel ambalemba begewaꞌ banaga basef ifimba God nagalaꞌ lapafi, ifimba naꞌipipaefa pigailifi.”


eng: For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

aoj: Moses fowaꞌ naliꞌ naꞌipa esis amam nematawa Juda hiasi basef hiafi ma muꞌuli Godi hiꞌalef, ama main, nofaꞌ esimbel bulmakau nogami baloma memei baloma embel baloma awif sipsipif akwahimi maloma lawag saꞌuni sagaꞌi hisopi agufugama nalam dis esimbel ambalemba bagalasi nuwaliꞌambela amam nematawa isimba hiasi saloma buk akwamba muꞌuli inimba Godi nagapauꞌwi wapani.


eng: Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.

aoj: Isimba atis basef ifimba fowaꞌ God nagalaꞌ lapafi owaꞌ fetaga fendawalap dowafa. Amom maha mafis makoloꞌ esimbel amamimbeli bewaꞌ banaga basef ifimba, daoꞌ fape banagef fandawalap alihif.


eng: For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.

aoj: Epen mamahina okom mondandaꞌ nigaꞌi basef ifimba banagafi ma epes mamahisa anaf sogofaꞌ hiahawes ananisii afamba anin nigagaꞌafi, nandaꞌ basef ifimba lapafi fail anop okwatip. Ama nogamana ananinai niꞌi nigaila basef ifimba ma nogofaꞌ hiahawes ahamanai, daoꞌ anen niliꞌ nindihimbaꞌmas endilisi ma ahamana ananinai nagaꞌ eaꞌ.


eng: For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

aoj: Isimba atis deiꞌ Krais nape laꞌafen numafi basef ifimba dambaifi God nagalaꞌ lapafi. Anen nagaꞌ eaꞌ ma natala esis amam nematawa nogatagwahisa waf awafi esis sandaꞌafi nogota atamba sagape lafela basef God naliꞌ nagalaꞌ lapafi.

eng: how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

aoj: Apaꞌ esimbel Kraisi bikilaꞌ isimba aꞌowaꞌ. Krais ina nandaꞌ anef waf awafi, owaꞌatin endilisi.

eng: For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh,

aoj: Nemaf mamahefa anis epes alogw gwailasa naep Godi, amom pris maha bulmakau suwafumi maofam mofaꞌ esimbel amamibeli baloma agamb naꞌol bulmakau numaꞌinai magaꞌatonai. Eaꞌ mowaliꞌmasam epes isimba. Mandaꞌas naꞌamba epes isimbai sataga boꞌwesa alop atop andoꞌa naep Godi.


eng: nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

aoj: Krais nawis nomon ipat anamba nafeꞌ ganimba nomon nagape atina sagaꞌi, “Boꞌwagoma hililiꞌ aꞌowaꞌma”. Anen nandaꞌam naꞌamba nemaf atetef, eaꞌ maꞌum.

Anen nandaꞌam naꞌamba natala apaꞌ natagwahepama waf awafi fagawasiꞌapai ma mogape andeandeꞌ dondol lifilafi.


eng: But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

aoj: Deiꞌ Krais nafiꞌi eaꞌ, nataga pris Dembinai nape nogaliꞌma pris fowaꞌimi hiamii. Eaꞌ numafi hiahaom amamba mataga magape eaꞌi.

eng: This is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshiper perfect,

aoj: Ipat anamba nihimbaꞌmapa nogota ataꞌe deiꞌitai, nondolaꞌwaif nihimbaꞌmapa basef naꞌamba. Dondol epes hiasi sandaꞌ lotuma God sofaꞌai hiahawes isimba fasifi gwaꞌaisi mafis sasisasi sondolali sagasoꞌ Goda nagakwaha waf awafi asasifi. Apaꞌ isimba ina laꞌifisa sondaꞌ malogof fagape opalef esis nomoni andeandeꞌma fegataga boꞌwalef endilisi, owaꞌatin.


eng: The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing.

aoj: Pris anamba nawis nandaꞌ maol inimbai ma Ambal buꞌunai Godi nigihimbaꞌmapa naꞌamba.

eng: Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,

aoj: Esis sandaꞌ hiahaom mape alihima, nimaguf danda amom pris mawis ipat anamba nomon rum waꞌam andoꞌ mondolalimana.


eng: and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can’t speak now in detail.

eng: having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

eng: “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the Lord: “I will put my laws into their mind; I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

eng: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.

eng: For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law,

aoj: Iꞌi anen itapanaiai, anen ina deiꞌ nope pris Dembinai, owaꞌ. Deiꞌ main, amom hiami eaꞌ mape pris mandaꞌ maola mogofaꞌi hiahawes isimba hiasi mondolalima God, siꞌi muꞌuli nagasoꞌ Mosesani nagaꞌias. Apaꞌ owaꞌatin, anen ina nape nandaꞌ maol inimba itap apaꞌe, owaꞌ.

aoj: Anen nahapila maol inimba nondolali ma God ipat luꞌunai ananinai. Ipat anamba lotuꞌunai endilisinai. Anona aman ina nalaꞌ ipat anamba, owaꞌatin. Dembinai atona nasaꞌmana notawa.


eng: Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this: we have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

aoj: Basef ifimba andaꞌafi fape fagaliꞌi, kofagefa naꞌamba. Apaꞌ eaꞌ anona pris Dembinai nape nagaliꞌma pris hiamii naꞌamba atin siꞌi basef fagaliꞌi fagaꞌiana. Anen nagape sia buꞌwani Dembinaii waꞌol banagagoma felefeleꞌma lagol kwahisigilima gani heven.


eng: For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.

aoj: Muꞌuli inimba God nagasoꞌ Mosesani nesahoꞌ amam amamba owaꞌ laꞌifima mondaꞌ waf buꞌwafi nimaguf dandaia eaꞌ mape pris dembami. Apaꞌ basef ifimba endilisifi atif God nagaꞌif banagafi, ifimba fataga fagiꞌma muꞌuli inimbai, fandandepa Nogamana ananinai, anen nagataga boꞌona hililiꞌ atapinai.


eng: who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

aoj: Amom pris dembami fowaꞌimi mondolalima God nimaguf hiafi dondol. Magaliꞌ ataꞌ mondolalimana ma nagakwaha waf awafi amamifi. Ama main, magiꞌ mondolalimana ma nagakwaha waf awafi esis amam nematawai. Apaꞌ Jisas ina nandaꞌas siꞌi amom, owaꞌatin. Anen nondolali ma God nemaf atetef dowafa waf awafi epes hiasii eaꞌ maꞌum. Ama nasoꞌ anen atona nagafeꞌma God.


eng: For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

aoj: Pris Dembinai naꞌambainai, laꞌifina endilisi ma nogatopalopapa. Anen boꞌona hililiꞌi, waf awafi akana. Anen okom buꞌwamunai, deiꞌ nape laogona epes awasi sandaꞌ waf awafii. God nasoꞌana agol luꞌwagili nikilaꞌ ilif aꞌ ilif aꞌowaꞌ.


eng: Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

aoj: Isimba atis deiꞌ anen laꞌifinai nofaꞌ esis amam nematawa sogotanimai felefeleꞌma Goda agol ananigili, ma sogape andeandeꞌ lifilafi. Deiꞌ main, anen nogape ambal lagapaona lifilafii nandabetena God nogatopalopas.


eng: But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.

aoj: Apaꞌ Jisas deiꞌ nogape namona atapina dondol lifilafii. Isimba atis deiꞌ aꞌ nape pris Dembinai atapina.


eng: By so much, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

aoj: God naꞌi basef ifimba nagaꞌif banagafi. Isimba atis deiꞌ Jisas nataga Dembinai kofagonama basef buꞌwafi dambaifi God nagalaꞌ lapafi fikilaꞌ basef fowaꞌ naliꞌ nagalaꞌ lapafi.


eng: (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, “The Lord swore and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’”

aoj: Apaꞌ God naꞌi basef endilisifi atif nagaꞌif banagafi eaꞌ nandaꞌ Jisas nataga pris dembinai. Anen nataga pris nemaf afamba God naꞌipana nagaꞌi, “Dembinai naꞌi basef endilisifi atif nagaꞌif banagafima anaf anen ina nohoꞌofa okom ananimi wapani, owaꞌatin. Inaꞌ nepe pris dembinai dondol lifilafi.”


eng: Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath

aoj: Afamba God nandandepa Jisasa mogataga pris Dembinai, ina nandaꞌana nosahoꞌana dowaf, owaꞌatin. Anen naꞌi basef endilisifi atif nagaꞌif banagafi eaꞌ nandandepana. Amom pris fowaꞌimi ina nandandepam naꞌamba siꞌi anen, owaꞌ.


eng: (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

aoj: Muꞌuli inimba ina nandaꞌ anis epes sataga boꞌwes hililiꞌ ma naep Godi, owaꞌatin. Eaꞌ deiꞌ God nandogwa anoꞌw ufiaꞌw, akwamba buꞌwakwi kwikilaꞌ muꞌuli inimba, deiꞌ ufiaꞌw akwamba atoꞌw apaꞌ mofeꞌ felefeleꞌma anen.


eng: For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

aoj: God nelefata muꞌuli inimba nagasoꞌ Mosesani eaꞌ. Deiꞌ main, muꞌuli inimba owaꞌ banagena negatopalopa apaꞌa, owaꞌatin.


eng: for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”

aoj: Deiꞌ main, basef fagail Baibeli fagaꞌi anen faꞌi, “Inaꞌ nepe pris dembinai dondol lifilafi nendahama Melkisedek.”


eng: who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;

aoj: Anen ina nataga prisa anin muꞌuli epesi, aꞌa wambota mamahotama, owaꞌ. Anen nataga prisa banagami ambal namili lagapaunai lifilafi dondoli.


eng: This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,

aoj: Apaꞌ mati anona pris dembinai nataga, nahoꞌofa amom pris magaliꞌi, fataga anen siꞌi Melkisedek. Basef ifimba ma muꞌuli inimba fataga fahaꞌofa muꞌuli inimba nagaliꞌi deiꞌ fandawalap alihif naꞌamba.


eng: For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

aoj: Apaꞌ mogawa, Dembinai apeꞌinai nataga wambota Judai. Apaꞌ Moses ina naꞌi anom wambota atambaimi motaga mope pris, owaꞌatin.


eng: For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

aoj: Dembinai apeꞌinai basef ifimba fagaꞌianai, anen anota wambota daiata. Wambota ananitai ina aꞌ anona fowaꞌ nandaꞌ maola belita amom magaofa mafis mais mondolalima Godatai, owaꞌatin.


eng: For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.

aoj: Basef ifimba deiꞌ fape banagef naꞌamba. Iꞌi amom pris mondaꞌ huꞌufi hoꞌof anaf nemaf, eaꞌ daoꞌ basefa muꞌuli inimba wapani aꞌ nendaꞌ huꞌufi hoꞌof naꞌamba atin.


eng: Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

aoj: Fowaꞌ esis amam nematawa sofaꞌ basefa muꞌuli inimba God nagasoꞌ Mosesani. Kofagonama muꞌuli inimbai amom wambota Livai mahapila maol inimba pris. Apaꞌ iꞌi maol inimba amom pris mandaꞌani ilama nendaꞌ esis amam nematawa sotaga boꞌwesa naep Godiai, deiꞌ maina ataꞌ anona pris dambainai nogataga wapani siꞌi Melkisedek, apaꞌ ina siꞌi Eran? Owaꞌatin.


eng: for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.

aoj: Apaꞌ ilama mugaꞌias naꞌamba. Fowaꞌ Melkisedek nagatagama Abraham ufiaꞌwafi, Abraham nasoꞌana hiahawes isimba nogawalogasi ilifunamais duꞌwanis safeꞌma Melkisedek. Ama main, Livai bafapana magiꞌ mataga mandaꞌ maol inimba mofaꞌ hiahawes isimba ilifunamais duꞌwanis esis Israel sagawalogasi. Eaꞌ naꞌamba atin siꞌi Livai nagasoꞌana duꞌwanis Melkisedeka lagol Abrahami. Deiꞌ main, nemaf afamba Abraham nagasoꞌanas Melkisedekafi, Livai owaꞌ ataꞌ solana notagaia, ataꞌ nape opalef nomon bafapana Abrahami.


eng: Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.

aoj: Amom Livai mandaꞌ maol mondolalima Godi mofaꞌ hiahawes duꞌwanis ilifunamais, amom anaf mogagaꞌi atom. Apaꞌ Melkisedek nofaꞌ hiahawes sagawalogasi duꞌwanis ilifunamaisi, anen nagape namunai dondol lifilafii, siꞌi buk Baibel nagaꞌi.


eng: But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.

aoj: Apaꞌ eaꞌ mogawa, aman nogofaloꞌmanai nape ilifa aman anamba nogofaꞌ blesin inimbai.


eng: but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.

aoj: Apaꞌ Melkisedek ina nataga wambota amamutai, owaꞌ. Apaꞌ owaꞌ, anen nogofaꞌ hiahawes duꞌwanis ilifunamais hiasi Abraham nogawalogasi. Eaꞌ Melkisedek nofaloꞌmana naꞌipana nowaꞌ banaga aman anamba basef buꞌwafi God nalaꞌ lapef fagapomanai.


eng: They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,

aoj: Amom wambota awasi bafapana Livaii anom aꞌ mofaꞌ maol inimba pris. Eaꞌ muꞌuli inimba God nagasoꞌ Mosesani naꞌipa amom atom mandaꞌ maol inimbai naꞌamba naꞌi amom aꞌ mondowaloga hiahawes isimba hiasi duꞌwanis ilifunamais atona atin esis Israeli. Esis Israel sahin owan amamisi endilisi, eaꞌ esis bafasana awasi Abrahami wapani. Apaꞌ owaꞌ, owaꞌatin, amom Livai mofaꞌ gwaꞌaisi mais hiasi duꞌwanis ilifunamaisa esis sahin owan amamisi.


eng: Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.

aoj: Deiꞌ ipaꞌ ukup pendapoma Melkisedek, anen agol luꞌwagilinai endilisi. Dembinai bafamapa apeꞌinai nagaliꞌi anen Abraham. Anen natambeꞌ hiahaom hiami buꞌwami atom nogofaꞌama wandafi nawaloga ilifunamaim atona atin eaꞌ nakolasom ondot atota nasoꞌanam mafeꞌma Melkisedek.


eng: without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.

aoj: Anen Ahamanai maꞌmana akana. Anen bafasana wambota ananisi akana. Eaꞌ nemaf maꞌmana kogolanafi owaꞌ, eaꞌ nemaf nagagaꞌafi wapani owaꞌ sogawafa. Anen nape siꞌi Nogamana Godi, nape pris dembinai nogape atapina dondol lifilafii.


eng: to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”,

aoj: Eaꞌ Abraham nawaloga hiahawes gwaꞌaisi mais ananisi hiꞌalas ilifunamais atona atin, nasoꞌana duꞌwanis ilifunamais safeꞌma Melkisedek. Apaꞌ deiꞌ mambema agol agalemba Melkisedek, basef kofagefa biafif. Anif faꞌi king dembinai nandaꞌ waf usiꞌifi atef datimaii. Eaꞌ anif faꞌi anen king dembinai nogasoꞌapa opalef awanelifii. Deiꞌ main, anen king dembinai nugumafi wambel ambalemba Salemi, deiꞌ mambema basef ifimba ma Salem maꞌi opalef awanelef.


eng: For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

aoj: Aman anamba Melkisedek anen king dembinai nugumafi anembel wambel Salemi, anen pris nondolalima God Dembinai nagape ilif endilisii. Fowaꞌ Abraham nandaꞌ wandaf naha anom king dembami naliꞌamonam nafeꞌ ma notanima nafeꞌ wambel owaꞌ Melkisedek natolona eaꞌ nofaloꞌmana nowaꞌ banagona.


eng: where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

aoj: Anamba Jisas naliꞌapa nafeꞌ nawis ipat anamba nomon ma nogatopalopapa. Anen nataga pris dembinai deiꞌ nape atapina dondol lifilafi naꞌamba atin siꞌi Melkisedek.


eng: This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil,

aoj: Gawa inimba ma apaꞌ mogogawa endilisi anaf mohapila hiahaom fasimi, nagape naꞌamba. Gawa inimba banagani fasini mape magasasani inimba naꞌambai nogombaloꞌ opalefi ambagof apeꞌisi siꞌi sandaꞌ anka nogombaloꞌ sip luꞌwapi nahapilap sisihip atapip pagala embel ilif. Gawa buꞌwani inimba nawis hiꞌalan newala gani nomon boꞌwagon hililiꞌma lowaf luꞌwafi alafugaifa sandolaf fagail siꞌi uta ipat Godi luꞌunai heven nomon.


eng: that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

aoj: Anen naꞌi basef ifimba nagalaꞌ lapafi, ma main naꞌi anif basef naꞌambaif atini nagaꞌi endilisi atisafi. Basef ifimba biafif fagaꞌias naꞌamba atin deiꞌ fape atapif, ina anin mae neloma anis sohoꞌofef, owaꞌatin endilisi.

Anen naꞌipapa basef ifimba ma mogohapifif tatalaꞌif mogawa endilisi mogahapila hiahaom fasimi mape mogohafami.


eng: For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.

aoj: Waf epes sagaꞌi basef endilisifi atif sagaꞌif banagafi afamba. Epes sagaꞌi basef ifimbai ma agol anona dembinai nikilaꞌ esis. Iꞌi anin epen nigaꞌi basef ifimbai, anin nasopama malogofa epes mamahisa saꞌi sogapaꞌaga basef ananifii.


eng: saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”

aoj: Anen naꞌi, “Deiꞌ aeꞌ aꞌi endilisi atis, etopalopena endaꞌ wambota bafasena ineꞌisi sigiꞌ sogatagai sotaga hias aꞌowaꞌ.”


eng: For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

aoj: Fowaꞌ God naloma Abraham maꞌi basef endilisifi magalaꞌ lapafi. Eaꞌ ina anona aman daiana dembinai nikilaꞌ God, ama God nogaꞌi basef ifimba endilisifi atifa agol ananigili atogol, owaꞌatin. Eaꞌ deiꞌ God naꞌi basef ifimba nagalaꞌ lapafi endilisifi atifa agol ananigili atogol.


eng: that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.

aoj: Aeꞌ aꞌi ipaꞌ ina alaꞌuta tehepa, owaꞌi. Ipaꞌ pindaila waf epes isimba sagahapifa God endilisii ma esis owaꞌ ukup iwanip kwafalisa, sogofaꞌ hiahaom buꞌwami fowaꞌ God naꞌiasa basef nagalaꞌ lapafi naꞌi nogasoꞌasam epes ananisii.


eng: We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,

aoj: Aeꞌ okom maꞌi ipaꞌ hipai atona atin ukup kilikalaꞌ peleleꞌ naꞌamba atin pefeꞌ pefeꞌ petagama nemaf afamba Krais nogafiꞌafii ma pegegawa endilisi anaf anen nogofaꞌi ipaꞌ.


eng: For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

aoj: God ina epen aunai ma atiasi okom mogasoꞌana opeh hiahi ipaꞌ pandaꞌahi, owaꞌatin. Ipaꞌ ukup paipailana. Isimba atis deiꞌ sasaꞌmai ipaꞌ ma pandaꞌ maol inimba ma pegatopalopa amam nematawa ananisi. Eaꞌ deiꞌ ataꞌ pandaꞌas naꞌamba atapipa.


eng: But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.

aoj: Ipaꞌ alipipai aeꞌipai endilisi, deiꞌ aeꞌ aꞌipipa basef ifimba nimanifi, apaꞌ owaꞌ aeꞌ egawa endilisi anaf ipaꞌ ina awepa higililipa naꞌamba, owaꞌatin. Aeꞌ egawa God anaf notopalopepa nofaꞌipai pepe andeandeꞌ.


eng: but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

aoj: Apaꞌ anep itap daiap pandaꞌ otalef wandafilifi atelef hielef fagatagai, apamba falafalafipi awasipi. Eaꞌ felefeleꞌma God nogahambombaga itap apamba ma anaf fegandep nif luꞌwafi.


eng: For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it and produces a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;

aoj: Anep itap asaf falai lifilafi fandaꞌap pandaꞌ gwaꞌaisi sataga salo andeandeꞌma sagatopalopa amam nematawa sandaꞌ maol itap aof afambai, itap apamba God nandaꞌap pape andeandeꞌ.


eng: and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.

aoj: Iꞌi esis sowa ma waf awafi, sowaꞌ alafugaha God aꞌowaꞌ, ina ataꞌ anoꞌw ufiaꞌwa esis sotanimai sifiꞌi sogambema nelelemb wapani, aꞌ owaꞌatin.

Esis sowaꞌ alafugaha God sandaꞌ waf naꞌambai, sandaꞌ epes hiasi sandaꞌana findiwana ma basef awafi.


eng: and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

aoj: Eaꞌ sambama basef Godi samemeꞌmef, asogawef fasif aꞌowaꞌ, samemeꞌma maol banagani dambaini hiani alipisi Kraisi sandaꞌani.


eng: For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

aoj: Epes isimba sowa ma waf awafi sogowaꞌ alafugaha Godi, ina anoꞌw ufiaꞌwa esis sotanima sifiꞌi sogambema nelelemb wapani, owaꞌatin. Esis saliꞌ sofaꞌ nogogalaꞌi Godi, sofaꞌ presen hiahaom fasimi magafiꞌi heveni eaꞌ, a sofaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai Godi napais.


eng: This will we do, if God permits.

aoj: Iꞌi okom God miꞌi isimbaiai, daoꞌ mondaꞌas naꞌamba atin.


eng: For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.

aoj: Apaꞌ mogawa epes mamahisa sagaꞌ nomagof atogufi, esis sagape awasi saꞌwisi atis. Isimbai ina deiꞌ laꞌifisa sogawaloga waf buꞌwafi awafi, ataꞌ owaꞌ.


eng: For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.

aoj: Deiꞌ nogota ataꞌe eaꞌ ma ipaꞌ pegape dembipai tisa pigawalipa anis daias. Apaꞌ owaꞌ owaꞌatin. Ipaꞌ gawa duꞌwanin atina ukup ipeꞌipi, eaꞌ anona aman ataꞌ nowalipipa wapani ma basef fagaliꞌi Godi.

eng: named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

aoj: God nandandepana eaꞌ naꞌi, “Ina nepe pris Dembinai nendelalima aeꞌ naꞌamba atin nendahama Melkisedek.”


eng: Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

aoj: Anen nataga nogamana Godi boꞌona endilisii. Isimba atis deiꞌ anen kofagonama epes sagaila basef ananifii nokwahomas waf awafi sofaꞌ ambal namili sogape andeandeꞌ lifilafi.


eng: He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

aoj: Fowaꞌ Jisas ataꞌ nagape epen endilisi itap apaꞌe, nandabeten nagahaliꞌ God, laꞌifinai ma nofaꞌana nokwaha gaꞌ ma nogape namona. Nandabeten, nofalana mehip nalef nape hiafi. Anen natalogofa anen atona nafeꞌ lafela God. Eaꞌ deiꞌ God nameꞌanama beten ananini.


eng: As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”

aoj: Eaꞌ God naꞌi basef duꞌwanif wapani naꞌias naꞌamba naꞌi, “Inaꞌ nepe pris Dembinai dondol lifilafii nendelalimai naꞌamba atin nendahama Melkisedek.”


eng: So also Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.”

aoj: Krais wapani naꞌamba atin. Anen ina nasaꞌma agol ananigili atogol nataga pris dembinai, owaꞌatin. God atona nandandepana nandaꞌ maol inimba, eaꞌ naꞌipana naꞌi, “Inaꞌ Nogame aeꞌinai. Deiꞌ awalapena alihina asaꞌma agol ineꞌigili luꞌwagol.”


eng: For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

aoj: Waf afamba fowaꞌ sandandepa pris hiami dembami mape magaliꞌma pris hiamii naꞌamba. Anota nogota sandandepa anona sandaꞌana napoma maol Godi ma nogofaꞌ malogof epesi nugalutu naep Godi. Esis sasoꞌana hiahawes fasisi nasoꞌ God nondolalimanama nogakwaha waf awafi esis sandaꞌafi.


eng: Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.

aoj: Isimba atis apaꞌ deiꞌ ukup banagep mondafeꞌ felefeleꞌma God, ombal mogahapa owaꞌi. Anen nagatopalopa apaꞌ dowafi ma magape andeandeꞌi. Eaꞌ apaꞌ mofeꞌma anona atiasi niti uwahipipa notopalopapa dowaf nugumafiapa nogota mamahotama mogofaꞌ nimanimi akafimi awamiatai.


eng: For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

aoj: Pris anamba Dembinai anen laꞌifinama nogati apaꞌ uwahipipa, nogota mamahotama apaꞌ owaꞌ banagepama mogahagasa waf awafia, eaꞌ alop owaꞌ laꞌifipa ma mondaꞌ maola. Hiahaom hiami hiꞌalam mataga magagwamba apeꞌi, amamba maliꞌ mataga magwamba anen wapani eaꞌ. Apaꞌ anen ina nandaꞌ anef waf awafi, owaꞌatin endilisi.


eng: Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.

aoj: Apaꞌ anona pris Dembinai apeꞌinai nape nagaliꞌina pris hiamii nafeꞌ nawis heven endilisi nape naloma God. Anen Jisas, Nogamana Godi. Eaꞌ deiꞌ apaꞌ mondahapifa waf mahapifa God magawalapafi teteleꞌif.


eng: There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

aoj: Ina anom hiahaom God nandaꞌami atiasi mondambahoꞌma anen, owaꞌatin. Hiahaom amamba hiami hiꞌalam eaꞌ mandawisiꞌ mape mandawalap alihim endilisi ma naep ananipi. Eaꞌ anaf apaꞌ miꞌipana waf maif hiafi hiꞌilaf apaꞌ mandaꞌafi.


eng: For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, basef Godi naꞌif atapif fagapani, eaꞌ banagef atapif. Ifimba hikalif aꞌowaꞌ fikilaꞌ bainat hikakalina waꞌowaꞌili fapisila epes fagawis nomon endilisii. Basef ifimba fawis fafeꞌ laꞌafena ukupi ambagof asasisi sondowatanimama aꞌ fafeꞌ fawala soꞌmatagwi gonat laꞌafisa. Eaꞌ fawaloga ukupi nomonas apeꞌisi nomon.


eng: Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ apaꞌ mondandaꞌ maol banagambel mofeꞌ muwis mopoma nomaꞌw mondalomana. Naꞌamba anin epen apeꞌini nesambala basef Godi newa ma waf awafi anaf higililan siꞌi fowaꞌ esis sandaꞌama sowa higilagalas lamonas.


eng: For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, epes mamahisa sofeꞌ suwis sopoma nomaꞌw sogaloma Godi esis asambifa maol asasini eaꞌ sapoma nomaꞌw, siꞌi fowaꞌ God nambifa maol ananini ma nagapoma nomaꞌw.


eng: There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

aoj: Isimba atis deiꞌ mogawa waf afamba mogapoma nomaꞌwafi ataꞌ fape atapifa apaꞌ epes amam nematawa Godi. Waf afamba siꞌi God nagapoma nomaꞌw nemaf afamba fagafeꞌma 7i.


eng: For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.

aoj: Iꞌi nemaf afamba fowaꞌ Josua nondaꞌas suwis sopoma nomaꞌwai, anaf God ina niꞌi anef nemaf daiaf, owaꞌatin. Apaꞌ owaꞌ owaꞌatin. Esis ina sawis, owaꞌ.


eng: he again defines a certain day, “today”, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.”

aoj: Isimba atis deiꞌ eaꞌ nandandepa anef nemaf daiaf wapani. Eaꞌ nofala nemaf afamba naꞌi deiꞌ atef. Eaꞌ afagof hiagufi fafeꞌma eaꞌ, God nawalapa basefa nemaf afamba naꞌi basef ananifi dokoꞌifi ma malogol Deviti naꞌamba naꞌi, “Deiꞌ ipaꞌ iꞌi pegameꞌ basefa malogol ananigilima, ipaꞌ ina pesopama nelelemb ipeꞌilimbi banagelemb aꞌowaꞌ, owaꞌi.”


eng: Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,

aoj: Esis amam nematawa isimba fowaꞌ sagameꞌ basef buꞌwafi ina safeꞌ sawis, owaꞌ. Deiꞌ main, esis ina sahapifana endilisi, owaꞌ. Apaꞌ basef ifimba ataꞌ fape atapif faꞌi endilisi anis epes atiasi asofeꞌ suwis sopoma nomaꞌw soloma God.


eng: and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”

aoj: Basef ifimba dokoꞌifi God nagaꞌias wapani naꞌi, “Esis ina sefeꞌ suwis sopoma nomaꞌw solome, owaꞌatin endilisi.”


eng: For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”

aoj: Anif basef God fowaꞌ nagaꞌiefi ma nemaf afamba fagafeꞌma 7i sagapoma nomaꞌwafi, fagaꞌias naꞌamba faꞌi, “God nandaꞌ maol hiani hiꞌalan eaꞌ, nemaf afamba fagafeꞌma 7i fataga, napoma nomaꞌw.”


eng: For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

aoj: Amam nematawa magahapifa Godi apaꞌ deiꞌ mafeꞌ mawis mapoma nomaꞌw maloma God, siꞌi anen nagaꞌias naꞌi, “Aeꞌ okom numbutim eaꞌ aꞌi basef endilisifi atif banagafi aꞌi, esis ina suwis sopoma nomaꞌw solome, owaꞌatin endilisi!” Fowaꞌ nandaꞌ itap apaꞌe hiꞌalap eaꞌ napoma nomaꞌw nogota laota nafiꞌi nafiꞌi nataga deiꞌ. Anen napoma nomaꞌw nasasa esis suwis sopoma nomaꞌw sogalomana. Owaꞌ, esis ina sawis, owaꞌatin.


eng: For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, apaꞌ wapani mameꞌ basef buꞌwafi siꞌi fowaꞌ esis Israel sagameꞌafi. Apaꞌ esis sameꞌef dowadowaf, ina sahapifif, owaꞌatin. Eaꞌ basef ifimba buꞌwafi sagameꞌafi ina fatopalopas kwasakwasala, owaꞌatin.


eng: Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.

aoj: Basef Godi banagafi endilisi deiꞌ ataꞌ fape atapif. Anen nagaꞌias naꞌamba naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pefeꞌ piwis anamba sogapoma nomaꞌwa aeꞌagima.” Apaꞌ aꞌ ombal mondahapa. Naꞌamba God niti anin epen atitin ipeꞌini okom mohan nelelama amamba nefeꞌ higililan, owaꞌ.


eng: We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ apaꞌ mogawa esis ina atiasi laꞌifisa sefeꞌ suwis sopoma nomaꞌw sogalomana, owaꞌatin. Deiꞌ main, esis ina sahapifana, owaꞌ.


eng: To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

aoj: God naꞌi anis epes naꞌi basef endilisifi atif banagafi ma esis ina aꞌ sefeꞌ suwis sopoma nomaꞌw solomana. Naꞌi epes mamahisa? Anen naꞌi isimba atis.


eng: With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

aoj: Afagof agwafomba hiagufi 40-pelaiguf God okom numbutima ami? Anen okom numbutima epes isimba sandaꞌ waf awafii, eaꞌ sagaꞌ lamonas anamba wafigima fataupigima, isimba atis.


eng: For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

aoj: Fowaꞌ epes ami sameꞌ basef malogol Godi sowaꞌ alafugahana sandaꞌ okom ananinai numbutina? Epes isimba hiasi fowaꞌ Moses nofaꞌasi sakwaha Isip sagafiꞌi, eaꞌ isimba atis.


eng: while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”

aoj: Siꞌi basef fagail Baibeli dokoꞌ agaꞌipipafi fagaꞌias faꞌi, “Deiꞌ ipaꞌ iꞌi pegameꞌ basefa malogol ananigilima, ipaꞌ ina pesopama nelelemb ipeꞌilimbi sisihilimb aꞌowaꞌ siꞌi fowaꞌ pegewaꞌ alafugaha Goda pandaꞌ okom ananinai numbutina, owaꞌi.”


eng: For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

aoj: Apaꞌ fowaꞌ maliꞌ mahapifana, eaꞌ deiꞌ mondahapifana sisihipa atapipa, mefeꞌ motagama mogagaꞌ. Iꞌi apaꞌ mondaꞌas naꞌamba atapipa, daoꞌ apaꞌ aꞌ amam nematawa endilisi Kraisi, ma anaf mofaꞌ hiahaom fasimi mogalomana.


eng: but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

aoj: Naꞌambai owaꞌi. Apaꞌ ipaꞌ pendewaꞌ banagama atina waf awafi ina fembasoꞌma anin epen atitin ipeꞌini nindaꞌima opaf ananifi sisihif. Pendaꞌas naꞌamba atin nimaguf danda nogota ataꞌe God nagaꞌi, “Deiꞌi” pendaꞌas pilas pendape atapipa.


eng: Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

aoj: Alipipai aeꞌipai, ipaꞌ solawaipa andeandeꞌ. Naꞌamba anin sahin owan laꞌafena ipaꞌ aꞌ okom mimila waf awafi nekwaha hapif ananini newaꞌ alafugama God nagape namona atapinaii.


eng: As I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”

aoj: Eaꞌ aeꞌ okom numbutima esis aꞌi basef endilisifi atif banagafi aꞌi, ‘Anaf esis ina ataꞌ sifiꞌi suwis sopoma nomaꞌw solome, owaꞌatin endilisi!’”


eng: Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways.’

aoj: Esis sandaꞌme isimba atis, aeꞌ deiꞌ okom numbutimas endilisi aꞌi, ‘Lifilafi ukup asasipi pasoꞌasa ufiaꞌw buꞌwakwi sololamaꞌw. Esis ina ataꞌ saila waf buꞌwafi aeꞌafi, aꞌ owaꞌatin.’


eng: don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

aoj: ipaꞌ ina apesopama nelelemb ipeꞌilimbi sisihilimb aꞌowaꞌ, siꞌi fowaꞌ bafasepa sandaꞌam sogosambala basef Godi ma sandaꞌ okom ananinai numbutina, owaꞌi. Nogota atamba esis sagape anamba wafigima fataupigima esis sagwambana aꞌowaꞌ sasopama nelelemb.


eng: but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

aoj: Apaꞌ Krais nape nogamana naila basef endilisi aꞌowaꞌ nandaꞌ maol datima ma nogape Dembinai nugumafi epes wambota Godi. Iꞌi dondol apaꞌ mohapifana banagepa miꞌi endilisi anaf mofaꞌ hiahaom amamba fasimi deiꞌ mape mogohafami, daoꞌ endilisi apaꞌ aꞌ mape wambota ananipai.


eng: Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,

aoj: Endilisi, Moses nandaꞌ maola nagatopalopa epes Godi hiꞌalas datima andeandeꞌ nandaꞌan siꞌi nandaꞌ maol Godi, eaꞌ naꞌi basef nawalapefa hiahawes anaf owagama God nogaꞌiasi.


eng: For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house.

aoj: Aman anama Jisas, God naseꞌana agel luꞌunai nikilaꞌ agel luꞌunai Mosesi, siꞌi epes saseꞌana agel luꞌunai aman nandaꞌ ipat buꞌunai nalaꞌana etap anaeꞌ. Eaꞌ esis ina safela agela ipat anama luꞌuna, owaꞌ.


eng: For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

aoj: Endilisi, ifagw hiagwi hiꞌalagw epes salaꞌagw. Eaꞌ epen okom kilikalaꞌma nandaꞌ hiahaom hiami hiꞌagalami, anen God atona.


eng: who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house.

aoj: Anen naila okom Godi nandaꞌ maol God nandandepanana nondaꞌani, siꞌi fowaꞌ Moses nandaꞌ maol ananini datima natopalopa epes hiasi Godi hiꞌalas.


eng: Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus,

aoj: Ipaꞌ alipipai epes Godi, anen nagape ilifi nogofalipai, ipaꞌ pemeꞌ. Ipaꞌ ukup pendandaꞌma Jisas, anen aposel nogape pris Dembinai ma waf faloma basef kofagefa apaꞌ eaꞌ mahapilaf magawalipasafi.


eng: For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

aoj: Anen atona nameꞌ akafimi eaꞌ nofaꞌ gwamba hiani natagamana naꞌi nendaꞌana nondaꞌ waf awafii. Eaꞌ anen laꞌifinai ma nogatopalopa epes isimba gwamba nagatagamasi.


eng: For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the offspring of Abraham.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, anen ina nagaꞌ natopalopa amom ensel, owaꞌatin. Anen nagaꞌma nagatopalopa epes sagataga wambota miniꞌap Abrahami.


eng: and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

aoj: Jisas natagwaha amam nematawa hiasi dondol ombal mahasa gaꞌ, magahapilas sisihisi. Owaꞌ anen natagwahisa ombal amamba magahasi.


eng: Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

aoj: Epes anen nogofalapa awasi ananipai, epes itapasi sogolapai. Isimba atis Jisas wapani nataga epen naꞌamba atin siꞌi apaꞌ epes itapasi sogolasi. Anen nataga epen naꞌamba ma nagaꞌ nogahambombaga aman anamba Satan banagona nandaꞌ epes hiasi sagagaꞌi.


eng: Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.”

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌias wapani naꞌi, “Aeꞌ ahapifa God banagewe.” Eaꞌ anif wapani naꞌif naꞌi, “Aeꞌ ape aloma awasi aeꞌasi God nagasiꞌiesi.”


eng: saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”

aoj: Siꞌi anen naꞌias nagaꞌi, “God, aeꞌ atiasi ewalapa agol ineꞌigili ma esis sahin owan aeꞌasi. Aeꞌ endaꞌ awalef esaꞌma agol ineꞌigili ma esis hiasi sunduwaꞌanima atogon hiꞌigalas.”


eng: For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

aoj: Anen atona nandaꞌapa amam nematawa mataga beꞌepa hililiꞌ malomana wambota atotota ahamapa atotona. Isimba atis deiꞌ anen ina ambal aola nofalapa nagaꞌi sahin owan ananipai, owaꞌatin.


eng: For it became him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

aoj: God anen Dembinai nandaꞌ hiahaom hiami mataga mape numafiama banagami ananimi mape andeandeꞌ. Eaꞌ andeandeꞌma nagaꞌi ahoꞌma Jisas nogameꞌ akafimi nandaꞌ ufiaꞌw buꞌwakwi ma apaꞌ.

eng: But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

aoj: Apaꞌ deiꞌ mogawa Jisas! Fowaꞌ nogota bandata God nandaꞌana nafeꞌ lafela amom ensel. God nati apaꞌ uwahipipa natopalopapa dowaf, deiꞌ Jisas nofaꞌ akafimi luꞌwami nagaꞌ ma apaꞌ hiapai hiꞌagalapa. Isimba atis deiꞌ God nasoꞌana agol luꞌwagili nandaꞌana nataga dembinai king nogalaꞌ aꞌowaꞌ.


eng: You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t yet see all things subjected to him.

aoj: Eaꞌ nandaꞌ hiahaom hiami mafeꞌ lafela esisa sugumafiam.” Basef ifimba fagail Baibeli faꞌi, “Ahoꞌ, God nandaꞌ epes sagape itapi sape dambes sumafi hiahaom hiami magape itapi.” Basef ifimba faꞌi hiahaom hiami magape itapi kofagefa faꞌi hiahaom hiꞌalam. Apaꞌ deiꞌ ina mati epes sagape itapi sape dambes sumafi hiahaom chiꞌalam, ataꞌ owaꞌ.


eng: You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.

aoj: Inaꞌ nandaꞌ amom ensel mape dambem banagema esis nogota bandata dowaf. Inaꞌ nasoꞌasa agol luꞌwagili galoma gawa fasini aꞌowaꞌ.


eng: But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

aoj: Apaꞌ anif basef fagail Baibeli fowaꞌ anona aman nawalapef nagaꞌiefi naꞌi, “God, epes esis mamahisa ma inaꞌ okom magapomas? Esis falafisi atis, inaꞌ atina nimafias.


eng: For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

aoj: God ina nandaꞌ amom ensel mape dambema mugumafi waf hiafi dambaifi Jisas nagawalapef eaꞌi, deiꞌ agaꞌipipafi, owaꞌatin.


eng: how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard,

aoj: God nagwamasa akafimi luꞌwami esis sogosambala basef ananifii ensel amamba magaꞌipasafi. Deiꞌ ipaꞌ ukup pandandaꞌ paꞌimama? Iꞌi pegewaꞌ alafugaha basef ananifi deiꞌ natopalopapa nofaꞌapa mogape andeandeꞌi, anaf ipaꞌ pefaꞌ pefeꞌ pindihiꞌama akafimi amamba piꞌimama? Owaꞌatin endilisi. Pefaꞌ akafimi pelomas.

Epes isimba sihimbaꞌmapa ma mogogawa basef amamba endilisim atom.


eng: For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,

aoj: Fowaꞌ gani God naꞌipa amom ensela basef ananifi, eaꞌ maꞌipipaef fandawalap endilisi. Deiꞌ basef ifimba fape banagefa epes mamahisa sosambalifa owaꞌ silifa, esis sofaꞌ akafimi amamba mondahama duꞌwaniga asasinai ma sogosambalif.


eng: Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

aoj: Jisas nikilaꞌ amom ensel aꞌowaꞌ. Isimba atis deiꞌ apaꞌ mondahapila basef ifimba ananifi apaꞌ magameꞌafi sisihif mondailif dindinip. Naꞌamba ambepama basef ifimba mondahagas mokwahona.


eng: Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

aoj: Deiꞌ amom ensel mamahoma? Amom ambagof buꞌwagufi mandaꞌmana maol Godii. Anen nasapaꞌam mafiꞌi ma mogatopalopa epes isimba deiꞌ God nofaꞌas sogotanimai ma anaf sogofaꞌ poe buꞌwani.


eng: You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”

aoj: Anaf inaꞌ nilaꞌwatefam siꞌi sindiwa luwaguf sagakolasif, eaꞌ amom mohoꞌofam siꞌi luwaguf. Apaꞌ inaꞌ dondol atapina negape naꞌamba atini, eaꞌ ina anaf hagena nogota ineꞌitai, owaꞌatin.”


eng: They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.

aoj: Amamba anaf higililam, apaꞌ inaꞌ negape atapinai. Amom molomofeꞌ mofeꞌ anaf motaga apim siꞌi luwaguf apifi.


eng: And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

aoj: Eaꞌ God naꞌias wapani naꞌi, “Dembinai, fowaꞌ dambadamba inaꞌ atina nandaꞌ itap pataga, lagol ineꞌigili atogol gandaꞌ ilif otaga wapani nataga nape.


eng: You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”

aoj: Inaꞌ okom magaila waf buꞌwafi usiꞌifii nandafaꞌma waf awafi sogosambala muꞌuliefi. Eaꞌ deiꞌ God, anen God ineꞌinai siꞌina, nandandepena naseꞌena dagala luꞌunai aꞌowaꞌ. Apaꞌ epes hiasi hiꞌalas ina sandagala siꞌi inaꞌ, owaꞌatin.”


eng: Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”

aoj: Apaꞌ basef ifimba God nagaꞌipa amom enselafi naꞌamba naꞌi, “Anen nandaꞌ amom ensel mataga siꞌi fufin, nandaꞌam mandaꞌ maol ananini mataga siꞌi nif ileliwa fagalilif.”


eng: When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”

aoj: Afamba God nagaꞌipa nogamana ananinai nape nagaliꞌma hiahaom hiamii, naꞌias wapani naꞌi, “Amom ensel hiami Godi mondandaꞌ lotu ma anen atona hiꞌindalam.”


eng: For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”

aoj: Deiꞌ main, fowaꞌ God ina naꞌipa anona ensel ananinai naꞌi, “Inaꞌ nogame aeꞌinai, aeꞌ Ahamena ineꞌiwai endilisi,” owaꞌ. Basef ifimba naꞌipa Nogamana ananinai atona. Eaꞌ God naꞌias wapani naꞌi, “Aeꞌ atiasi etaga ahamana ananiwai, anen nope Nogame aeꞌanai.” God ina naꞌipa anona ensela basef ifimba, owaꞌatin. Naꞌipa nogamana ananinai atona.


eng: His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

aoj: Nogamana atona nogogalaꞌi luꞌunai Godi nahihimapa aꞌowaꞌ, anen eaꞌ naꞌamba atin siꞌi God endilisi. Basef ananifi banagafi ifimba atif nowaꞌ banaga hiahaom amamba hiami hiꞌalam.

aoj: Iꞌi anen nondaꞌ anef waf awafi ma inaꞌ aꞌa nondaꞌmena anof wiaf fopomena, daoꞌ aeꞌ egwamonaf.

eng: For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever,

aoj: Onesimus aꞌ nakwahina nogota bandata nafeꞌ anagona bola nefaꞌana notanimai nope nolomena lifilafi dondol.


eng: I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,

aoj: Deiꞌ aeꞌ esapaꞌana notambel nefeꞌmago inaꞌ. Eaꞌ okom aeꞌami mefeꞌ molomanago.


eng: who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
