| Vers | Amharic NT | English: King James Version |
| 1 | ስለዚህ የክርስቶስን ነገር መጀመሪያ የሚናገረውን ቃል ትተን ወደ ፍጻሜ እንሂድ፤ መሠረትን ደግመን አንመሥርት፥ እርሱም ከሞተ ሥራ ንስሐና በእግዚአብሔር እምነት፥ ስለ ጥምቀቶችና እጆችንም ስለ መጫን ስለ ሙታንም ትንሣኤ ስለ ዘላለም ፍርድም ትምህርት ነው። | 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, |
| 3 | እግዚአብሔርም ቢፈቅድ ይህን እናደርጋለን። | And this will we do, if God permit. |
| 4 | አንድ ጊዜ ብርሃን የበራላቸውን ሰማያዊውንም ስጦታ የቀመሱትን ከመንፈስ ቅዱስም ተካፋዮች ሆነው የነበሩትን | 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 | መልካሙንም የእግዚአብሔርን ቃልና ሊመጣ ያለውን የዓለም ኃይል የቀመሱትን | And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, |
| 6 | በኋላም የካዱትን እንደገና ለንስሐ እነርሱን ማደስ የማይቻል ነው፤ ለራሳቸው የእግዚአብሔርን ልጅ ይሰቅሉታልና ያዋርዱትማልና። | 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 | ብዙ ጊዜ በእርስዋ ላይ የሚወርደውን ዝናብ የምትጠጣ መሬት፥ ለሚያርሱአትም ደግሞ የምትጠቅምን አትክልት የምታበቅል፥ ከእግዚአብሔር በረከትን ታገኛለችና፤ | 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 | እሾህና ኵርንችትን ግን ብታወጣ፥ የተጣለች ናት ለመረገምም ትቀርባለች፥ መጨረሻዋም መቃጠል ነው። | But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. |
| 9 | ስለ እናንተ ግን፥ ወዳጆች ሆይ፥ ምንም እንኳ እንዲሁ ብንናገር፥ አብልጦ የሚሻለውና ለመዳን የሚሆነው እንዲሆንላችሁ ተረድተናል። | But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. |
| 10 | እግዚአብሔር፥ ቅዱሳንን ስላገለገላችሁ እስከ አሁንም ስለምታገለግሉአቸው፥ ያደረጋችሁትን ሥራ ለስሙም ያሳያችሁትን ፍቅር ይረሳ ዘንድ ዓመፀኛ አይደለምና። | 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 | በእምነትና በትዕግሥትም የተስፋውን ቃል የሚወርሱትን እንድትመስሉ እንጂ ዳተኞች እንዳትሆኑ፥ ተስፋ እስኪሞላ ድረስ እያንዳንዳችሁ ያን ትጋት እስከ መጨረሻ እንድታሳዩ እንመኛለን። | And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: |
| 13 | እግዚአብሔርም ለአብርሃም ተስፋ በሰጠው ጊዜ። በእውነት እየባረክሁ እባርክሃለሁ እያበዛሁም አበዛሃለሁ ብሎ፥ ከእርሱ በሚበልጥ በማንም ሊምል ስላልቻለ፥ በራሱ ማለ፤ | For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, |
| 15 | እንዲሁም እርሱ ከታገሰ በኋላ ተስፋውን አገኘ። | And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. |
| 16 | ሰዎች ከእነርሱ በሚበልጠው ይምላሉና፥ ለማስረዳትም የሆነው መሐላ የሙግት ሁሉ ፍጻሜ ይሆናል፤ | For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. |
| 17 | ስለዚህም እግዚአብሔር፥ የተስፋውን ቃል ለሚወርሱ ፈቃዱ እንደ ማይለወጥ አብልጦ ሊያሳያቸው ስለ ፈቀደ፥ እግዚአብሔር ሊዋሽ በማይቻል በሁለት በማይለወጥ ነገር፥ በፊታችን ያለውን ተስፋ ለመያዝ ለሸሸን ለእኛ ብርቱ መጽናናት ይሆንልን ዘንድ፥ በመሓላ በመካከል ገባ፤ | Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: |
| 19 | ይህም ተስፋ እንደ ነፍስ መልሕቅ አለን እርሱም እርግጥና ጽኑ የሆነ ወደ መጋረጃውም ውስጥ የገባ ነው፤ | Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; |
| 20 | በዚያም ኢየሱስ እንደ መልከ ጼዴቅ ሹመት ለዘላለም ሊቀ ካህናት የሆነው፥ ስለ እኛ ቀዳሚ ሆኖ ገባ። | Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. |
| 2 | Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. | |
| 12 | That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. | |
| 14 | Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. | |
| 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: |
