The Latin Vulgate VUL
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 ideoque et nos tantam habentes inpositam nubem testium deponentes omne pondus et circumstans nos peccatum per patientiam curramus propositum nobis certamen
1
Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us,
2 aspicientes in auctorem fidei et consummatorem Iesum qui pro proposito sibi gaudio sustinuit crucem confusione contempta atque in dextera sedis Dei sedit
2
looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;
3 recogitate enim eum qui talem sustinuit a peccatoribus adversum semet ipsos contradictionem ut ne fatigemini animis vestris deficientes
3
for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls -- being faint.
4 nondum usque ad sanguinem restitistis adversus peccatum repugnantes
4
Not yet unto blood did ye resist -- with the sin striving;
5 et obliti estis consolationis quae vobis tamquam filiis loquitur dicens fili mi noli neglegere disciplinam Domini neque fatigeris dum ab eo argueris
5
and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,
6 quem enim diligit Dominus castigat flagellat autem omnem filium quem recipit
6
for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;'
7 in disciplina perseverate tamquam filiis vobis offert Deus quis enim filius quem non corripit pater
7
if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?
8 quod si extra disciplinam estis cuius participes facti sunt omnes ergo adulteri et non filii estis
8
and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.
9 deinde patres quidem carnis nostrae habuimus eruditores et reverebamur non multo magis obtemperabimus Patri spirituum et vivemus
9
Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising [us], and we were reverencing [them]; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?
10 et illi quidem in tempore paucorum dierum secundum voluntatem suam erudiebant nos hic autem ad id quod utile est in recipiendo sanctificationem eius
10
for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;
11 omnis autem disciplina in praesenti quidem videtur non esse gaudii sed maeroris postea autem fructum pacatissimum exercitatis per eam reddit iustitiae
11
and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.
12 propter quod remissas manus et soluta genua erigite
12
Wherefore, the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees set ye up;
13 et gressus rectos facite pedibus vestris ut non claudicans erret magis autem sanetur
13
and straight paths make for your feet, that that which is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed;
14 pacem sequimini cum omnibus et sanctimoniam sine qua nemo videbit Dominum
14
peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,
15 contemplantes ne quis desit gratiae Dei ne qua radix amaritudinis sursum germinans inpediat et per illam inquinentur multi
15
looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;
16 ne quis fornicator aut profanus ut Esau qui propter unam escam vendidit primitiva sua
16
lest any one be a fornicator, or a profane person, as Esau, who in exchange for one morsel of food did sell his birthright,
17 scitote enim quoniam et postea cupiens hereditare benedictionem reprobatus est non enim invenit paenitentiae locum quamquam cum lacrimis inquisisset eam
17
for ye know that also afterwards, wishing to inherit the blessing, he was disapproved of, for a place of reformation he found not, though with tears having sought it.
18 non enim accessistis ad tractabilem et accensibilem ignem et turbinem et caliginem et procellam
18
For ye came not near to the mount touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 et tubae sonum et vocem verborum quam qui audierunt excusaverunt se ne eis fieret verbum
19
and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of sayings, which those having heard did entreat that a word might not be added to them,
20 non enim portabant quod dicebatur et si bestia tetigerit montem lapidabitur
20
for they were not bearing that which is commanded, `And if a beast may touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or with an arrow shot through,'
21 et ita terribile erat quod videbatur Moses dixit exterritus sum et tremebundus
21
and, (so terrible was the sight,) Moses said, `I am fearful exceedingly, and trembling.'
22 sed accessistis ad Sion montem et civitatem Dei viventis Hierusalem caelestem et multorum milium angelorum frequentiae
22
But, ye came to Mount Zion, and to a city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers,
23 et ecclesiam primitivorum qui conscripti sunt in caelis et iudicem omnium Deum et spiritus iustorum perfectorum
23
to the company and assembly of the first-born in heaven enrolled, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect,
24 et testamenti novi mediatorem Iesum et sanguinis sparsionem melius loquentem quam Abel
24
and to a mediator of a new covenant -- Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!
25 videte ne recusetis loquentem si enim illi non effugerunt recusantes eum qui super terram loquebatur multo magis nos qui de caelis loquentem nobis avertimur
25
See, may ye not refuse him who is speaking, for if those did not escape who refused him who upon earth was divinely speaking -- much less we who do turn away from him who [speaketh] from heaven,
26 cuius vox movit terram tunc modo autem repromittit dicens adhuc semel ego movebo non solum terram sed et caelum
26
whose voice the earth shook then, and now hath he promised, saying, `Yet once -- I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven;'
27 quod autem adhuc semel dicit declarat mobilium translationem tamquam factorum ut maneant ea quae sunt inmobilia
27
and this -- `Yet once' -- doth make evident the removal of the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the things not shaken may remain;
28 itaque regnum inmobile suscipientes habemus gratiam per quam serviamus placentes Deo cum metu et reverentia
28
wherefore, a kingdom that cannot be shaken receiving, may we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly, with reverence and religious fear;
29 etenim Deus noster ignis consumens est
29
for also our God [is] a consuming fire.
