Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it.
1Timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introëundi in requiem ejus, existimetur aliquis ex vobis deesse.
2For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.
2Etenim et nobis nuntiatum est, quemadmodum et illis: sed non profuit illis sermo auditus, non admistus fidei ex iis quæ audierunt.
3Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.
3Ingrediemur enim in requiem, qui credidimus: quemadmodum dixit: Sicut juravi in ira mea: Si introibunt in requiem meam: et quidem operibus ab institutione mundi perfectis.
4For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”
4Dixit enim in quodam loco de die septima sic: Et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis.
5And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”
5Et in isto rursum: Si introibunt in requiem meam.
6Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience,
6Quoniam ergo superest introire quosdam in illam, et ii, quibus prioribus annuntiatum est, non introierunt propter incredulitatem:
7God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
7iterum terminat diem quemdam, Hodie, in David dicendo, post tantum temporis, sicut supra dictum est: Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra.
8For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
8Nam si eis Jesus requiem præstitisset, numquam de alia loqueretur, posthac, die.
9There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
9Itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei.
10For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.
10Qui enim ingressus est in requiem ejus, etiam ipse requievit ab operibus suis, sicut a suis Deus.
11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
11Festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem: ut ne in idipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum.
12For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
12Vivus est enim sermo Dei, et efficax et penetrabilior omni gladio ancipiti: et pertingens usque ad divisionem animæ ac spiritus: compagum quoque ac medullarum, et discretor cogitationum et intentionum cordis.
13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
13Et non est ulla creatura invisibilis in conspectu ejus: omnia autem nuda et aperta sunt oculis ejus, ad quem nobis sermo.
14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.
14Habentes ergo pontificem magnum qui penetravit cælos, Jesum Filium Dei, teneamus confessionem.
15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.
15Non enim habemus pontificem qui non possit compati infirmitatibus nostris: tentatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato.
16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
16Adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiæ: ut misericordiam consequamur, et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio opportuno.
