New International Version NIV
Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.
1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:
2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
2
Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his 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.
3
For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house hath greater honour than the house.
4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
4
For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things is God.
5 “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future.
5
And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:
6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.
6
But Christ, as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.
7 So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice,
7
Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: To-day if you shall hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness,
8
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the desert,
9 where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did.
9
Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,
10 That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’
10
Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways.
11 So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”
11
As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.
12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
12
Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.
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.
13
But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called to day, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
14
For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.
15 As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”
15
While it is said: To day, if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.
16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
16
For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?
17
And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?
18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?
18
And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?
19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
19
And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
