Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.
1τοιγαρουν και ημεισ τοσουτον εχοντεσ περικειμενον ημιν νεφοσ μαρτυρων ογκον αποθεμενοι παντα και την ευπεριστατον αμαρτιαν δι υπομονησ τρεχωμεν τον προκειμενον ημιν αγωνα
2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
2αφορωντεσ εισ τον τησ πιστεωσ αρχηγον και τελειωτην ιησουν οσ αντι τησ προκειμενησ αυτω χαρασ υπεμεινεν σταυρον αισχυνησ καταφρονησασ εν δεξια τε του θρονου του θεου κεκαθικεν
3Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
3αναλογισασθε γαρ τον τοιαυτην υπομεμενηκοτα υπο των αμαρτωλων εισ αυτον αντιλογιαν ινα μη καμητε ταισ ψυχαισ υμων εκλυομενοι
4In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
4ουπω μεχρι αιματοσ αντικατεστητε προσ την αμαρτιαν ανταγωνιζομενοι
5And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you.
5και εκλελησθε τησ παρακλησεωσ ητισ υμιν ωσ υιοισ διαλεγεται υιε μου μη ολιγωρει παιδειασ κυριου μηδε εκλυου υπ αυτου ελεγχομενοσ
6For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.”
6ον γαρ αγαπα κυριοσ παιδευει μαστιγοι δε παντα υιον ον παραδεχεται
7Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
7εισ παιδειαν υπομενετε ωσ υιοισ υμιν προσφερεται ο θεοσ τισ γαρ εστιν υιοσ ον ου παιδευει πατηρ
8If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.
8ει δε χωρισ εστε παιδειασ ησ μετοχοι γεγονασιν παντεσ αρα νοθοι εστε και ουχ υιοι
9Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live?
9ειτα τουσ μεν τησ σαρκοσ ημων πατερασ ειχομεν παιδευτασ και ενετρεπομεθα ου πολλω μαλλον υποταγησομεθα τω πατρι των πνευματων και ζησομεν
10Our fathers disciplined us for a short time as they thought best, but God disciplines us for our good, so that we may share in His holiness.
10οι μεν γαρ προσ ολιγασ ημερασ κατα το δοκουν αυτοισ επαιδευον ο δε επι το συμφερον εισ το μεταλαβειν τησ αγιοτητοσ αυτου
11No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.
11πασα δε παιδεια προσ μεν το παρον ου δοκει χαρασ ειναι αλλα λυπησ υστερον δε καρπον ειρηνικον τοισ δι αυτησ γεγυμνασμενοισ αποδιδωσιν δικαιοσυνησ
12Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees.
12διο τασ παρειμενασ χειρασ και τα παραλελυμενα γονατα ανορθωσατε
13Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
13και τροχιασ ορθασ ποιησατε τοισ ποσιν υμων ινα μη το χωλον εκτραπη ιαθη δε μαλλον
14Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
14ειρηνην διωκετε μετα παντων και τον αγιασμον ου χωρισ ουδεισ οψεται τον κυριον
15See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.
15επισκοπουντεσ μη τισ υστερων απο τησ χαριτοσ του θεου μη τισ ριζα πικριασ ανω φυουσα ενοχλη και δια ταυτησ μιανθωσιν πολλοι
16See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his birthright.
16μη τισ πορνοσ η βεβηλοσ ωσ ησαυ οσ αντι βρωσεωσ μιασ απεδοτο τα πρωτοτοκια αυτου
17For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears.
17ιστε γαρ οτι και μετεπειτα θελων κληρονομησαι την ευλογιαν απεδοκιμασθη μετανοιασ γαρ τοπον ουχ ευρεν καιπερ μετα δακρυων εκζητησασ αυτην
18For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom, and storm;
18ου γαρ προσεληλυθατε ψηλαφωμενω ορει και κεκαυμενω πυρι και γνοφω και σκοτω και θυελλη
19to a trumpet blast or to a voice that made its hearers beg that no further word be spoken.
19και σαλπιγγοσ ηχω και φωνη ρηματων ησ οι ακουσαντεσ παρητησαντο μη προστεθηναι αυτοισ λογον
20For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”
20ουκ εφερον γαρ το διαστελλομενον καν θηριον θιγη του ορουσ λιθοβοληθησεται
21The sight was so terrifying that even Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
21και ουτωσ φοβερον ην το φανταζομενον μωυσησ ειπεν εκφοβοσ ειμι και εντρομοσ
22Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels
22αλλα προσεληλυθατε σιων ορει και πολει θεου ζωντοσ ιερουσαλημ επουρανιω και μυριασιν αγγελων
23in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
23πανηγυρει και εκκλησια πρωτοτοκων εν ουρανοισ απογεγραμμενων και κριτη θεω παντων και πνευμασιν δικαιων τετελειωμενων
24to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
24και διαθηκησ νεασ μεσιτη ιησου και αιματι ραντισμου κρειττον λαλουντι παρα τον αβελ
25See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven?
25βλεπετε μη παραιτησησθε τον λαλουντα ει γαρ εκεινοι ουκ εφυγον τον επι γησ παραιτησαμενοι χρηματιζοντα πολλω μαλλον ημεισ οι τον απ ουρανων αποστρεφομενοι
26At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.”
26ου η φωνη την γην εσαλευσεν τοτε νυν δε επηγγελται λεγων ετι απαξ εγω σειω ου μονον την γην αλλα και τον ουρανον
27The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that the unshakable may remain.
27το δε ετι απαξ δηλοι των σαλευομενων την μεταθεσιν ωσ πεποιημενων ινα μεινη τα μη σαλευομενα
28Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
28διο βασιλειαν ασαλευτον παραλαμβανοντεσ εχωμεν χαριν δι ησ λατρευομεν ευαρεστωσ τω θεω μετα αιδουσ και ευλαβειασ
29“For our God is a consuming fire.”
29και γαρ ο θεοσ ημων πυρ καταναλισκον
