Hebrews 6

1 ಆದದರಿಂದ ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಬೋಧನೆಯ ಮೂಲ ಪಾಠಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟು ನಿರ್ಜೀವ ಕ್ರಿಯೆಗಳಿಂದ ಮಾನಸಾಂತರವೂ ದೇವರ ಮೇಲಣ ನಂಬಿಕೆಯೂ

2 ಬಾಪ್ತಿಸ್ಮಗಳ ಬೋಧನೆಯೂ ಹಸ್ತಾ ರ್ಪಣೆಯೂ ಸತ್ತವರ ಪುನರುತ್ಥಾನವೂ ನಿತ್ಯವಾದ ನ್ಯಾಯತೀರ್ಪೂ ಇವುಗಳ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಸ್ತಿವಾರವನ್ನು ತಿರಿಗಿ ಹಾಕದೆ ನಾವು ಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣತೆಗೆ ಹೋಗೋಣ.

3 ದೇವರ ಚಿತ್ತವಾದರೆ ಹೀಗೆ ಮಾಡುವೆವು.

4 ಒಂದು ಸಾರಿ ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿ ಪರಲೋಕ ದಿಂದಾದ ದಾನದ ರುಚಿಯನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮನಲ್ಲಿ ಪಾಲುಗಾರರಾಗಿ

5 ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠವಾದ ದೇವರ ವಾಕ್ಯವನ್ನೂ ಬರುವ ಲೋಕದ ಮಹತ್ವವನ್ನೂ ರುಚಿನೋಡಿ ದವರು ಬಿದ್ದು ಹೋಗುವದಾದರೆ

6 ಅವರಲ್ಲಿ ತಿರಿಗಿ ಮಾನಸಾಂತರವನ್ನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿಸುವದು ಅಸಾಧ್ಯ; ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಪಾಲಿಗೆ ದೇವರ ಮಗನನ್ನು ಪುನಃ ಶಿಲುಬೆಗೆ ಹಾಕುವವರೂ ಆತನನ್ನು ಬಹಿರಂಗ ವಾಗಿ ಅವಮಾನಪಡಿಸುವವರೂ ಆಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

7 ಭೂಮಿಯು ತನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ಅನೇಕಾವರ್ತಿ ಸುರಿಯುವ ಮಳೆಯನ್ನು ಹೀರಿಕೊಂಡು ಅದು ಯಾರ ನಿಮಿತ್ತವಾಗಿ ವ್ಯವಸಾಯ ಮಾಡಲ್ಪಡುತ್ತದೋ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಅನುಕೂಲ ವಾದ ಬೆಳೆಯನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟರೆ ದೇವರ ಆಶೀರ್ವಾದವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದುತ್ತದೆ;

8 ಆದರೆ ಅದು ಮುಳ್ಳುಗಿಡಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕಳೆಗಳನ್ನೂ ಬೆಳೆಸಿದರೆ ತಿರಸ್ಕರಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟು ಶಾಪಕ್ಕೆ ಗುರಿಯಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಅದರ ಅಂತ್ಯವು ಸುಡಲ್ಪಡುವದೇ.

9 ಆದರೆ ಪ್ರಿಯರೇ, ಈ ರೀತಿಯಾಗಿ ನಾವು ಮಾತ ನಾಡಿದರೂ ನೀವು ಇದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಉತ್ತಮವಾಗಿಯೂ ರಕ್ಷಣಕರವಾಗಿಯೂ ಇದ್ದೀರೆಂದು ದೃಢವಾಗಿ ನಂಬಿ ದ್ದೇವೆ.

10 ನೀವು ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧರಿಗೆ ಉಪಚಾರ ಮಾಡಿದಿರಿ, ಇನ್ನು ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದೀರಿ. ಈ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನೂ ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ನೀವು ಆತನ ನಾಮದ ವಿಷಯವಾಗಿ ತೋರಿಸಿದ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಪ್ರಯಾಸವನ್ನೂ ಮರೆಯು ವದಕ್ಕೆ ದೇವರು ಅನ್ಯಾಯಸ್ಥನಲ್ಲ.

11 ಅಂತ್ಯದವರೆಗೆ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ನಿಶ್ಚಯ ತ್ವಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ನಿಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬರು ಅದೇ ಆಸಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ತೋರಿಸಬೇಕೆಂದು ನಾವು ಅಪೇಕ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ.

12 ಹೀಗೆ ನೀವು ಮೈಗಳ್ಳರಾಗಿರದೆ ನಂಬಿಕೆಯಿಂದಲೂ ತಾಳ್ಮೆ ಯಿಂದಲೂ ವಾಗ್ದಾನಗಳನ್ನು ಬಾಧ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಹೊಂದುವ ವರನ್ನು ಅನುಸರಿಸುವವರಾಗಿರುವಿರಿ.

13 ದೇವರು ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನಿಗೆ ವಾಗ್ದಾನ ಮಾಡಿದಾಗ ತನಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನವನ ಆಣೆಯಿಡುವದಕ್ಕಾಗದೆ ಇದ್ದದ್ದರಿಂದ ತನ್ನಾ ಣೆಯಿಟ್ಟು--

14 ಖಂಡಿತವಾಗಿ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಆಶೀರ್ವದಿಸೇ ಆಶೀರ್ವದಿಸುವೇನು. ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸುವೆನು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನಷ್ಟೆ.

15 ಹೀಗೆ ಅವನು ತಾಳ್ಮೆಯಿಂದ ಕಾದಿದ್ದು ವಾಗ್ದಾನವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದನು.

16 ಮನುಷ್ಯರು ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ತಮಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನವನ ಆಣೆಯಿಡು ತ್ತಾರಷ್ಟೆ; ಆಣೆಯನ್ನು ಸ್ಥಿರಪಡಿಸಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅವರೊಳಗೆ ವಿವಾದವೇನೂ ಇರುವದಿಲ್ಲ.

17 ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ದೇವರು ತನ್ನ ಸಂಕಲ್ಪವು ನಿಶ್ಚಲವಾದದ್ದೆಂಬದನ್ನು ವಾಗ್ದಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಬಾಧ್ಯರಾಗುವವರಿಗೆ ಬಹು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ತೋರಿಸ ಬೇಕೆಂದು ಆಣೆಯಿಟ್ಟು ತನ್ನ ಮಾತನ್ನು ಸ್ಥಿರಪಡಿಸಿದನು.

18 ಆಶ್ರಯವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಓಡಿ ಬಂದು ನಮ್ಮ ಮುಂದೆ ಇಟ್ಟಿರುವ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯನ್ನು ಹಿಡುಕೊಂಡವರಾದ ನಮಗೆ ಸುಳ್ಳಾಡದ ದೇವರ ಎರಡು ನಿಶ್ಚಲವಾದ ಆಧಾರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಮಗೆ ಬಲವಾದ ಆದರಣೆ ಉಂಟಾ ಯಿತು.

19 ಆ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯು ನಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರಾಣಕ್ಕೆ ಲಂಗರದ ಹಾಗಿದ್ದು ಖಂಡಿತವಾದದ್ದೂ ಸ್ಥಿರವಾದದ್ದೂ ಆಗಿದೆ. ಅದು ತೆರೆಯೊಳಗಿರುವಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸುವಂಥದು.

20 ಯೇಸು ಸದಾಕಾಲವೂ ಮೆಲ್ಕಿಜೆದೇಕನ ತರಹದ ಮಹಾಯಾಜಕನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಲ್ಪಟ್ಟು ನಮಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಮುಂದಾಗಿ ಅದರೊಳಗೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ.

1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

3 And this will we do, if God permit.

4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.

6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
