The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
1 timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introeundi in requiem eius existimetur aliqui ex vobis deesse
1
Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.
2 etenim et nobis nuntiatum est quemadmodum et illis sed non profuit illis sermo auditus non admixtis fidei ex his quae audierunt
2
For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.
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
3
Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world.
4 dixit enim quodam loco de die septima sic et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis
4
For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”
5 et in isto rursum si introibunt in requiem meam
5
And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”
6 quoniam ergo superest quosdam introire in illam et hii quibus prioribus adnuntiatum est non introierunt propter incredulitatem
6
Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience,
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
7
God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
8 nam si eis Iesus requiem praestitisset numquam de alio loqueretur posthac die
8
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
9 itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei
9
There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;
10 qui enim ingressus est in requiem eius etiam ipse requievit ab operibus suis sicut a suis Deus
10
for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.
11 festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem ut ne in id ipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum
11
Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
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
12
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
13 et non est ulla creatura invisibilis in conspectu eius omnia autem nuda et aperta sunt oculis eius ad quem nobis sermo
13
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
14 habentes ergo pontificem magnum qui penetraverit caelos Iesum Filium Dei teneamus confessionem
14
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
15 non enim habemus pontificem qui non possit conpati infirmitatibus nostris temptatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato
15
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
16 adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiae ut misericordiam consequamur et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio oportuno
16
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
