Refering to english translation of hebrews 4:12 ...Why is ' tou theou ' translated as 'of God' rather than 'the God'?

Instead of just answering your question, let me suggest that you read this chapter on Greek nouns, which explains it in some detail. Feel free to ask questions about anything you do not understand in that description.
