Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Let us fear therefore lest the promise being left of entering into his rest, any of you should be thought to be wanting.
1Timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introëundi in requiem ejus, existimetur aliquis ex vobis deesse.
2For unto us also it hath been declared, in like manner as unto them. But the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith of those things they heard.
2Etenim et nobis nuntiatum est, quemadmodum et illis: sed non profuit illis sermo auditus, non admistus fidei ex iis quæ audierunt.
3For we, who have believed, shall enter into rest; as he said: As I have sworn in my wrath; If they shall enter into my rest; and this indeed when the works from the foundation of the world were finished.
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 in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works.
4Dixit enim in quodam loco de die septima sic: Et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis.
5And in this place again: If they shall enter into my rest.
5Et in isto rursum: Si introibunt in requiem meam.
6Seeing then it remaineth that some are to enter into it, and they, to whom it was first preached, did not enter because of unbelief:
6Quoniam ergo superest introire quosdam in illam, et ii, quibus prioribus annuntiatum est, non introierunt propter incredulitatem:
7Again he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time, as it is above said: Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not 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 Jesus had given them rest, he would never have afterwards spoken of another day.
8Nam si eis Jesus requiem præstitisset, numquam de alia loqueretur, posthac, die.
9There remaineth therefore a day of rest for the people of God.
9Itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei.
10For he that is entered into his rest, the same also hath rested from his works, as God did from his.
10Qui enim ingressus est in requiem ejus, etiam ipse requievit ab operibus suis, sicut a suis Deus.
11Let us hasten therefore to enter into that rest; lest any man fall into the same example of unbelief.
11Festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem: ut ne in idipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum.
12For the word of God is living and effectual, and more piercing than any two edged sword; and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents 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.
13Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight: but all things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is.
13Et non est ulla creatura invisibilis in conspectu ejus: omnia autem nuda et aperta sunt oculis ejus, ad quem nobis sermo.
14Having therefore a great high priest that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession.
14Habentes ergo pontificem magnum qui penetravit cælos, Jesum Filium Dei, teneamus confessionem.
15For we have not a high priest, who can not have compassion on our infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin.
15Non enim habemus pontificem qui non possit compati infirmitatibus nostris: tentatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato.
16Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid.
16Adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiæ: ut misericordiam consequamur, et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio opportuno.
