Hebrews 12 Pros Hebraioin 12
1Toigaroun kai nis, tosoutem echarōntois perikeiorōntem ni nefem marturoiu, onkon apotitherantois panton kai tan euperistatan hamartan, dia hupomonau trechaneiō ton prokeiorōnton ni agōnon,Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us. 2aforarōntois eis ton tau pistiau archēgon kai teleiōton Iēsun, hos anti tau prokeiorōntau auto charau hupomenata stauron aischunau katafronarantos, en dexa tē tou thronou tou theou kathizatē.Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3Analogizevar gar ton toioutan hupomenarēnton hupo toiu hamartōloiu eis ⸀heautoin antilogian, hina mē kamnaveia tai psuchai vu ekluorōntois.Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. 4oupō mechris haimeu antikatastēava pros tan hamartan antagōnizorōntois,In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5kai eklanthanovē tau paraklēsiau, hotinas vi hōs huioi dialegotō, Huior mu, mē oligōrasōr paideiau kuriou, mēde ekluosōr hupo autou elenchorōntos;And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. 6hon gar agapatō kurios paideuatō, mastigatō de panton huion hon paradechotō.For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” 7eis paideian hupomenavō; hōs huioi vi prosferotō tos theos; tinos ⸀gar huios hon ouk paideuatō patros?Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? 8ei de chōris avō paideiau hau metochois genalē pantois, ara nothois ⸂kai ouk huiois avō.⸃If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. 9eita toin men tau sarkau nu patroin echane paideutoin kai entrapone; ouk ⸀pollem mallon hupotassini to patro teiu pneumeiu kai zōani?Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live? 10tois men gar pros oligain hēmerain kata tem dokarōntem autoi paideuale, tos de epi tem sumferarōntem eis tem metalabara tau hagiotau autou.Our fathers disciplined us for a short time as they thought best, but God disciplines us for our good, so that we may share in His holiness. 11pantas ⸀de paideias pros men tem pareiarōntem ouk dokatō charau arō alla lupau, husterem de karpon eirēnikon toi dia autau gumnazorēntoi apodōatō dikaiosunau.No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.
12Dio tain pariēkorēntain cheirain kai teim paraluorēnteim gonueim anorthavar,Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees. 13kai trochiain orthain ⸀poiavōr toi podoi vu, hina mē tem chōlem ektrapiteia, iiteia de mallon.Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
14Eirēnan diōkavōr meta pantoiu, kai ton hagiasmon, hou chōris oudenos horeti ton kurion,Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. 15episkoparōntois mē tinos husterarōntos apo tau charitau tou theou, mē tinas rizas pikriau anō fuarōntas enochlateiō kai ⸂dia autau⸃ mianileia ⸀pollois,See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many. 16mē tinos pornos ē bebēlos hōs Ēsau, hos anti brōsiau henau apodōeta teim prōtotokieim ⸀heautou.See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his birthright. 17oidavē gar hoti kai metepeita thelarōntos klēronomara tan eulogian apodokimazita, metanoiau gar topon ouk heuriskata, kaiper meta dakrueiu ekzētarantos autan.For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears.
18Ouk gar proserchavē ⸀psēlaforōnte kai kaiorēnte pure kai gnofo kai ⸀zofo kai thuellaFor you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom, and storm; 19kai salpingau ēcho kai fōna rēmeiu, hau tois akouarantois paraitela ⸀mē prostithira autoi logon;to a trumpet blast or to a voice that made its hearers beg that no further word be spoken. 20ouk ferale gar tem diastelorōntem; Kan thērem thinganateia teu oreu, lithoboliti;For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.” 21kai, houtōs foberem ate tem fantazorōntem, Mōusos legata; Ekfobos amō kai entromos.The sight was so terrifying that even Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.” 22alla proserchavē Siōn ore kai pola theou zōarōntou, Ierousalēm epourana, kai muriadai angeloiu, panēguriaInstead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels 23kai ekklēsa prōtotokoiu ⸂apograforēntoiu en ouranoi,⸃ kai krito theo pantoiu, kai pneumei dikaioiu teleiorēntoiu,in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24kai diathēkau neau mesito Iēso, kai haime rantismou kreittonem lalarōnto para ton Habel.to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
25Blepavōr mē paraiteveia ton lalarōnton; ei gar ekeinois ouk ⸀ekfeugala ⸂epi gēau paraiterantois ton⸃ chrēmatizarōnton, ⸀pollem mallon nis tois ton apo ouranoiu apostreforōntois;See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven? 26hou tas fōnas tan gēan saleuata tote, nun de epangelotē legarōntos; Ēti hapax mis ⸀seiami ouk monem tan gēan alla kai ton ouranon.At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.” 27tem de Ēti hapax dēlatō ⸂teiu saleuorōnteiu⸃ metathesian hōs poiorēnteiu, hina menateia teim mē saleuorōnteim.The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken — that is, created things — so that the unshakable may remain. 28dio basileian asaleutan paralabarōntois echaneiō charitan, dia hau ⸀latreuaneiō euarestōs to theo meta ⸂eulabeiau kai deeu,⸃Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. 29kai gar tos theos nu purem katanaliskarōntem.“For our God is a consuming fire.”
