Lexham English Bible LEB
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
1
Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
2
who was faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses also [was] in his household.
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
3
For this one is considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, inasmuch as the one who builds it has greater honor than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
4
For every house is built by someone, but the one who built all [things] [is] God.
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
5
And Moses [was] faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony to the things that would be spoken,
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
6
but Christ [was faithful] as a son over his house, whose house we are, if we hold fast to our confidence and the hope we can be proud of.
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
7
Therefore, just 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 in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
9
where your fathers tested [me] by trial and saw my works
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
10
[for] forty years. Therefore I was angry with this generation, and I said, 'They always go astray in their heart, and they do not know my ways.'
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
11
As I swore in my anger, '{They will never enter} into my rest.'"
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
12
Watch out, brothers, lest there be in some of you an evil, unbelieving heart, [with the result that you] fall away from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
13
But encourage one another {day by day}, as long as it is called "today," so that {none of you become hardened} by the deception of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
14
For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of [our] commitment steadfast until the end,
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
15
{while it is said}, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."<note: A quotation from Ps 95:7b-8>
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
16
For who, [when they] heard [it], were disobedient? Surely [it was] not all who went out from Egypt through Moses?
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that 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 dead bodies fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
18
And to whom did he swear [they would] not enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
19
And [so] we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
