ULT For it is impossible—for the ones having been once enlightened and having tasted of the heavenly gift and having become sharers of the Holy Spirit
UST Let me tell you about something that cannot happen. Think about people who learned about the good news at one time. They experienced what God gives to his people from heaven, and they received God’s Spirit.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
6:4 In Greek, the word impossible begins the sentence for emphasis—it absolutely cannot happen (see also 6:18; 10:4; 11:6).
• They were once enlightened when they “first learned about Christ” (see 10:32 and corresponding study note).
• The good things of heaven might allude to the manna given from heaven (Exod 16:4, 15; Ps 78:24) as an image of spiritual blessings.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a reason why the audience needs to “go forward” (See: 6:1). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word that introduces a basis for an exhortation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [We need to go forward, because]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ἀδύνατον γὰρ τοὺς
impossible_‹it_is› for the_‹ones›
Here, the word impossible goes with the phrase “to restore them again” in 6:6. If it would be helpful in your language, you could move it is impossible to verse 6. If you do this, make sure that you also follow the infostructure note on verse 6. Alternate translation: [For consider the ones]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοὺς ἅπαξ φωτισθέντας
the_‹ones› once /having_been/_enlightened
Here the author speaks of receiving and understanding the good news as if it were light shining on a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [for those who once understood the message about the Messiah]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τοὺς ἅπαξ φωτισθέντας, γευσαμένους τε
the_‹ones› once /having_been/_enlightened /having/_tasted and
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on those who were enlightened rather than on the person doing the enlightening. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that God did it. Alternate translation: [for those whom God has once enlightened, and who tasted]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
γευσαμένους & τῆς δωρεᾶς τῆς ἐπουρανίου
/having/_tasted & ˱of˲_the gift ¬the heavenly
Here the author speaks as if the heavenly gift were food that people could “taste.” He speaks in this way to show that these people experienced the heavenly gift as much as a person who eats food truly experiences that food. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [had experience of the heavenly gift] or [participated in the heavenly gift]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
μετόχους γενηθέντας Πνεύματος Ἁγίου
partakers /having_been/_become ˱of˲_/the/_Spirit Holy
Here the author uses the possessive form to indicate that these people “share” the Holy Spirit. This form means that the people whom the author is speaking about were among the group of people who received the Holy Spirit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that makes meaning clearer. Alternate translation: [received the Holy Spirit along with other believers] or [participated in the Holy Spirit]
