Hebrews 4

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 God's promise of enjoying his rest still stands. So be careful that none of you fails to receive it.

2 The good news was preached to our people long ago. It has also been preached to us. The message they heard didn't have any value for them. They didn't combine it with faith.

3 Now we who have believed enjoy that rest. God said, "When I was angry I took an oath. I said, 'They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them.' " (Psalm 95:11) Ever since God created the world, his work has been finished.

4 Somewhere he spoke about the seventh day. He said, "On the seventh day God rested from all his work."(Genesis 2:2)

5 In the part of Scripture I talked about earlier God said, "They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them."(Psalm 95:11)

6 It is still true that some will enjoy that rest. But those who had the good news preached to them earlier didn't go in. That was because they didn't obey.

7 So God again chose a certain day. He named it Today. He did that when he spoke through David a long time later. As it was said earlier, "Listen to his voice today. If you hear it, don't be stubborn." (Psalm 95:7,8)

8 Suppose Joshua had given them rest. If he had, God would not have spoken later about another day.

9 So there is still a Sabbath rest for God's people.

10 God rested from his work. Those who enjoy God's rest also rest from their work.

11 So let us make every effort to enjoy that rest. Then no one will fall into sin by following the example of those who didn't obey God.

12 The word of God is living and active. It is sharper than any sword that has two edges. It cuts deep enough to separate soul from spirit. It can separate joints from bones. It judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

13 Nothing God created is hidden from him. His eyes see everything. He will hold us accountable for everything we do.

14 We have a great high priest. He has gone up into the heavens. He is Jesus the Son of God. So let us hold firmly to what we say we believe.

15 We have a high priest who can feel it when we are weak and hurting. We have a high priest who has been tempted in every way, just as we are. But he did not sin.

16 So let us boldly approach the throne of grace. Then we will receive mercy. We will find grace to help us when we need it.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introeundi in requiem eius existimetur aliqui ex vobis deesse

2 etenim et nobis nuntiatum est quemadmodum et illis sed non profuit illis sermo auditus non admixtis fidei ex his quae audierunt

3 ingrediemur enim in requiem qui credidimus quemadmodum dixit sicut iuravi in ira mea si introibunt in requiem meam et quidem operibus ab institutione mundi factis

4 dixit enim quodam loco de die septima sic et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis

5 et in isto rursum si introibunt in requiem meam

6 quoniam ergo superest quosdam introire in illam et hii quibus prioribus adnuntiatum est non introierunt propter incredulitatem

7 iterum terminat diem quendam hodie in David dicendo post tantum temporis sicut supra dictum est hodie si vocem eius audieritis nolite obdurare corda vestra

8 nam si eis Iesus requiem praestitisset numquam de alio loqueretur posthac die

9 itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei

10 qui enim ingressus est in requiem eius etiam ipse requievit ab operibus suis sicut a suis Deus

11 festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem ut ne in id ipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum

12 vivus est enim Dei sermo et efficax et penetrabilior omni gladio ancipiti et pertingens usque ad divisionem animae ac spiritus conpagum quoque et medullarum et discretor cogitationum et intentionum cordis

13 et non est ulla creatura invisibilis in conspectu eius omnia autem nuda et aperta sunt oculis eius ad quem nobis sermo

14 habentes ergo pontificem magnum qui penetraverit caelos Iesum Filium Dei teneamus confessionem

15 non enim habemus pontificem qui non possit conpati infirmitatibus nostris temptatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato

16 adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiae ut misericordiam consequamur et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio oportuno
