New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,
|
1 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
|
|
2 who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house.
|
2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house.
|
|
3 For *he* has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house.
|
3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
|
|
4 For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things [is] God.
|
4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
|
|
5 And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after;
|
5 Moses was faithful as a servant in all God's house, testifying to what would be said in the future.
|
|
6 but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are *we*, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.
|
6 But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.
|
|
7 Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,
|
7 So, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you hear his voice,
|
|
8 harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness;
|
8 do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert,
|
|
9 where your fathers tempted [me], by proving [me], and saw my works forty years.
|
9 where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did.
|
|
10 Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and *they* have not known my ways;
|
10 That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, 'Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.'
|
|
11 so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.
|
11 So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.' "
|
|
12 See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from [the] living God.
|
12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
|
|
13 But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
|
13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.
|
|
14 For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end;
|
14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.
|
|
15 in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;
|
15 As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."
|
|
16 (for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [was it] not all who came out of Egypt by Moses?
|
16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
|
|
17 And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
|
17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert?
|
|
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?
|
18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed ?
|
|
19 And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief;)
|
19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
