1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:
1Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
2Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.
2He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
3For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house, hath greater honour than the house.
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.
4For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things, is God.
4And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
5And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:
5Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.
6But Christ as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.
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.
7Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: Today if you shall hear his voice,
7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,
8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert,
8do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,
9Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,
9where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.
10Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways,
10Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’
11As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.
11So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”
12Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.
12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.
13But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called today, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
13But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
14For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.
14We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.
15While it is said, Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.
15As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”
16For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
16For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
17And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?
17And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
18And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?
18And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?
19And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
19So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.
