HEBREARREI 12

Iraun bekatuaren kontrako borrokan

1 Horregatik, guk ere, hainbat eta hainbat testiguzt inguraturik gaudenok, astin dezagun oztopo zaigun guztia eta itsasten zaigun bekatua, eta ekin diezaiogun etsi gabe aurrean dugun lasterketari. 2 Jar ditzagun begiak geure fedearen iturburu eta betetzaile dugun Jesusengan; honek, itxaro zuen zorionagatik, gurutzean hiltzea onartu zuen, heriotza lotsagarria zela kontuan hartu gabe, eta orain Jainkoaren tronuaren eskuinaldean eseriat dago. 3 Gogora ezazue, bada, bekatarien aldetik halako eraso gogorra jasan zuen hura, adorea galdu eta etsi ez dezazuen.

4 Ez zarete oraindik bizia galtzeraino iritsi bekatuaren kontrako zeuen borrokan.

Jainkoak seme-alabak bezala zentzatu

5 Ahaztu egin duzue seme-alabei bezala ematen zaizuen aholkua:
Ene seme, ez baztertu
Jaunaren zentzarazpena,
ezta adorea galdu ere
agiraka egiten badizu, t

6  maite duena baitu Jaunak
zentzarazten
eta semetzat hartzen duena
du zigortzen.
7 Jasaten duzuena zuek zentzarazteko da; Jainkoak seme-alaba bezala tratatzen zaituzte. Izan ere, zein seme-alaba ez du aitak zentzarazten?t 8 Zentzarazten ez bazaituzte, denak zentzarazi ohi diren bezala, ez zarete nonbait benetako seme-alaba, sasiko baizik. 9 Lurreko gurasoak begirunez hartzen genituen, zentzarazten gintuztenean; arrazoi gehiagoz jarri behar dugu, bada, zeruko Aitaren menpe, bizia iristeko. 10 Gurasoek bizitza labur honetarako eta beren irizpideen arabera zentzarazten gintuzten; Jainkoak, ordea, hobea den zerbaitetarako, haren santutasunean parte har dezagun, alegia.

11 Egia esan, mementoan edozein zentzarazpen mingarri da eta ez pozgarri; baina, gerora, zentzarazpenaren bidez zaildu direnek haren fruituak jasotzen dituzte: bakea eta bizitza zuzena.
12 Ea bada, sendotu beso ahulduak eta belaun makalduak,t

13 eta ibil zaitezte bide zuzenean, hanka okerra hauts ez dadin, sendatu bainot.t

KRISTOREN OPARIAREN FRUITUAK KRISTAU BIZITZAN (12,14—13,19)

Leial eutsi kristau-bokazioari

17 Badakizue geroago bedeinkazioa eskuratu nahi izan zuela, baina ez zuen lortu, eta, negarrez erregutu bazion ere, ez zuen aitaren asmoa aldatzeko modurik izan.t
18 Zuek ez zarete hurbildu, israeldarrak bezala, uki daitekeen mendi baterat, su kiskalgarria, laino itxia, ilunpea eta ekaitza zeuden mendira;t 19 ez duzue entzun turuta-hotsik, ezta ahotsik ere. Ahotsa entzun zuten israeldarrek gehiago ez ziezaiela hitz egin eskatu zuten,

20 ezin baitzuten jasan agintzen ziena: Mendia ukitzen duenari, aberea izanda ere, harrika emango diote.t

21 Hain zen izugarria ikuskaria, non Moisesek berak ere honela baitzioen: Beldur-ikaraz nago.t
22 Zuek, ordea, Sion mendira hurbildu zarete, Jainko biziaren hirira, zeruko Jerusalemera, Jainkoa goresteko bildurik dauden milaka eta milaka aingerurengana,t 23 beren izenak zeruan idatzirik dituzten Jainkoaren lehen-semeen batzarrera, guztien epaile den Jainkoarengana, beren betera iritsi diren zintzoen espirituengana

24 eta itun berriaren bitarteko den Jesusengana, Abelena baino indartsuago mintzo den odolaz garbitu gaituenarenganat.
25 Kontuz, bada! Ez gutxietsi hitz egiten dizuena. Izan ere, lurrean hitz egin zienean gutxietsi zutenek zigorrari ihes egiterik izan ez bazuten, are gutxiago guk, zerutik hitz egitean bizkarra ematen badiogu!

26 Orduan bere ahotsaz lurra dardararazi zuen Jainkoak hau hots egiten digu orain:
Oraindik beste behin,
lurrari ez ezik,
zeruari ere dar-dar eragingo diot. t
27  Oraindik beste behin hitzek hau adierazten dute: dar-dar egiten duten gauzak, eginak direnez, desagertu egingo direlat, dar-dar egin ez dezaketenak bakarrik geldi daitezen. 28 Horregatik, dardaratuko ez den erreinua hartu dugunez, izan gaitezen esker onekot eta eman diezaiogun Jainkoari berak atsegin duen kultua begirunez eta errespetuz, 29 su kiskalgarria baita gure Jainkoa.t

Hebrews 12

The Lord’s Discipline

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,t we must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us,2 keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set out for him he endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.s3 Think of him who endured such opposition against himself by sinners, so that you may not grow weary in your souls and give up.4 You have not yet resisted to the point of bloodshedt in your struggle against sin.

5 And have you forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons?
“My son, do not scorntthe Lord’s discipline
or give up when he correctstyou.

6 “For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son he accepts.”s
7 Endure your sufferingt as discipline;t God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline?8 But if you do not experience discipline,t something all sonst have shared in, then you are illegitimate and are not sons.9 Besides, we have experienced discipline fromt our earthly fatherst and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life?ts10 For they disciplined us for a little while as seemed good to them, but he does so for our benefit, that we may share his holiness.11 Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful.t But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousnesst for those trained by it.12 Therefore, strengthentyour listless hands and your weak knees,s

13 and make straight paths for your feet,s so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but be healed.

Do Not Reject God’s Warning

14 Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness,s for without it no one will see the Lord.15 See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God, that no one be like a bitter rootspringing upts and causing trouble, and through him many become defiled.16 And see to it that no one becomest an immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.s17 For you know thatt later when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no opportunity for repentance, although he sought the blessingt with tears.18 For you have not come to something that can be touched,t to a burning fire and darkness and gloom and a whirlwind19 and the blast of a trumpet and a voice uttering wordst such that those who heard begged to hear no more.t20 For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”s21 In fact, the scenet was so terrifying that Moses said, “I shudder with fear.”ts22 But you have come to Mount Zion, the cityt of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the assembly23 and congregation of the firstborn, who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous, who have been made perfect,

24 and to Jesus, the mediatort of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks of something better than Abel’s does.s
25 Take care not to refuse the one who is speaking! For if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much less shall we, if we reject the one who warns from heaven?26 Then his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “I will once more shake not only the earth but heaven too.”s27 Now this phrase “once more” indicates the removal of what is shaken, that is, of created things, so that what is unshaken may remain.28 So since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us give thanks, and through this let us offer worship pleasing to God in devotion and awe.

29 For our God is indeed a devouring fire.s
