Hebrews 3

HNV

MSG

1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and Kohen Gadol of our confession, Yeshua;
1 So, my dear Christian friends, companions in following this call to the heights, take a good hard look at Jesus. He's the centerpiece of everything we believe,
2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moshe in all his house.
2 faithful in everything God gave him to do. Moses was also faithful,
3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moshe, by so much as he who built the house has more honor than the house.
3 but Jesus gets far more honor. A builder is more valuable than a building any day.
4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.
4 Every house has a builder, but the Builder behind them all is God.
5 Moshe indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,
5 Moses did a good job in God's house, but it was all servant work, getting things ready for what was to come.
6 but Messiah as a Son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.
6 Christ as Son is in charge of the house.
7 Therefore, even as the Ruach HaKodesh says, "Today if you will hear his voice,
7 That's why the Holy Spirit says, Today, please listen;
8 Don't harden your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
8 don't turn a deaf ear as in "the bitter uprising," that time of wilderness testing!
9 Where your fathers tested me by proving me, And saw my works for forty years.
9 Even though they watched me at work for forty years, your ancestors refused to let me do it my way; over and over they tried my patience.
10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation, And said, 'They always err in their heart, But they didn't know my ways;'
10 And I was provoked, oh, so provoked! I said, "They'll never keep their minds on God; they refuse to walk down my road."
11 As I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.'"
11 Exasperated, I vowed, "They'll never get where they're going, never be able to sit down and rest."
12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there will be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;
12 So watch your step, friends. Make sure there's no evil unbelief lying around that will trip you up and throw you off course, diverting you from the living God.
13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
13 For as long as it's still God's Today, keep each other on your toes so sin doesn't slow down your reflexes.
14 For we have become partakers of Messiah, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:
14 If we can only keep our grip on the sure thing we started out with, we're in this with Christ for the long haul.
15 while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, Don't harden your hearts, as in the provocation."
15 These words keep ringing in our ears: Today, please listen; don't turn a deaf ear as in the bitter uprising.
16 For who, when they heard, did provoke? No, didn't all those who came out of Mitzrayim by Moshe?
16 For who were the people who turned a deaf ear? Weren't they the very ones Moses led out of Egypt?
17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn't it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
17 And who was God provoked with for forty years? Wasn't it those who turned a deaf ear and ended up corpses in the wilderness?
18 To whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
18 And when he swore that they'd never get where they were going, wasn't he talking to the ones who turned a deaf ear?
19 We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
19 They never got there because they never listened, never believed.
