New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ 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 was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful 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 this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor 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 someone, but He who 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 servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,
|
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 a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the 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 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice,
|
7 So, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you hear his voice,
|
|
8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial 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 tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years.
|
9 where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did.
|
|
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, 'They always go astray in their 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, 'They shall not enter My rest.' "
|
11 So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.' "
|
|
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing 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 exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through 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 have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast 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 while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."
|
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, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?
|
16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
|
|
17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses 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 did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
|
18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed ?
|
|
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
|
19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
