Berean Standard Bible

1ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲱϩⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲙⲁⲓⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏ ⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲏⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.

1Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.

2ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲑⲁⲙⲓⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ.

2He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

3ⲁ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲑⲁⲙⲓⲟϥ.

3For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.

4ⲏⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩⲥⲉⲃⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲑⲁⲙⲓ⳿ⲉ ⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉ.

4And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ϥⲉⲛϩⲟⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.

5Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.

6Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯ ϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.

6But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

7ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ.

7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,

8⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϯ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϣⲁϥⲉ.

8do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,

9ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲓⲟϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲛⲧ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.

9where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.

10⳿ⲛⲙ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲁⲓⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲥⲱⲣⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲱⲓⲧ.

10Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’

11⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲱⲣⲕ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁϫⲱⲛⲧ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ.

11So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”

12⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉϥϩⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ.

12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.

13ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲛⲟⲙϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏⲛⲓ ϣⲁ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲛϣⲱⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲡⲁⲧⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ.

13But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

14ⲁⲛⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⳿ⲛϯϩⲩⲡⲟⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ.

14We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.

15ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϫⲓⲛϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϯⲉⲛϣⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϫⲱⲛⲧ.

15As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”

16ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲁⲩϯ ϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲭⲏⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ.

16For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?

17ⲛⲓⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ϩⲣⲟϣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲙ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲏ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲉⲗⲓ ϩⲉⲓ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϣⲁϥⲉ.

17And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

18ⲛⲓⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲱⲣⲕ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲏ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ.

18And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?

19ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲑⲛⲁϩϯ

19So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.
