King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ko ia, ʻe kāinga māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku kau ʻi he ui mei he langi, tokanga lahi ki he ʻaposetolo mo e fungani taulaʻeiki ʻo ʻetau lotu, ko Kalaisi Sisu;
1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2ʻAia naʻe angatonu kiate ia ne ne fakanofo ia, ʻo hangē foki ko Mōsese ʻi hono fale kotoa pē.
2Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3He naʻe totonu ke ne maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ongoongolelei lahi ʻia Mōsese, ʻo hangē ʻoku maʻu ʻe ia ʻoku langa ʻae fale ʻae ongoongolelei lahi ʻi he fale.
3For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4He kuo langa kotoa pē ʻae fale ʻe ha taha; ka ko ia kuo ne langa ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ko e ʻOtua.
4For every house is builded by some man ; but he that built all things is God.
5Pea naʻe angatonu moʻoni ʻa Mōsese ʻi hono fale kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e tamaioʻeiki, ko e fakamoʻoni ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻe leaʻaki;
5And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6Ka ko Kalaisi ko e ʻAlo ia ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona; pea ko hono fale ʻakitautolu, ʻo kapau te tau kuku maʻu ʻae tui mo e fiefia ʻoe ʻamanaki lelei ʻo aʻu ki he ikuʻanga.
6But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
7Ko ia (ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, “Ko e ʻaho ni, ʻo kapau te mou fanongo ki hono leʻo,
7Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8ʻOua naʻa mou fakafefeka homou loto, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he fakahouhau ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻahiʻahi ʻi he toafa:
8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9ʻAia naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi au ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea nau ʻahiʻahi kiate au, ʻonau mamata ki heʻeku ngaahi ngaue ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.
9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10Ko ia ne u fehiʻa ai ki he toʻutangata ko ia, peau pehē, ‘ʻOku nau he maʻuaipē ʻi honau loto: pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo hoku ngaahi hala.’
10Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11Ko ia ne u fuakava ai ʻi heʻeku houhau, ‘E ʻikai te nau hū ki hoku mālōlōʻanga.)’”
11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12Tokanga, ʻe kāinga, telia naʻa ai hamou tokotaha ha loto kovi ʻo taʻetui, he mavahe mei he ʻOtua moʻui.
12Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13Ka ke feakonakiʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻoku lolotonga hono ui, “Ko e ʻaho ni;” telia naʻa mataila hamou tokotaha ʻi he fakakākaaʻi ʻe he angahala.
13But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14He kuo maʻu ʻekitautolu ʻa Kalaisi, ʻo kapau te tau kuku maʻu ʻa ʻetau fuofua tui ʻo aʻu ki he ikuʻanga;
14For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15Pea lolotonga ʻoku pehē, “Ko e ʻaho ni, ʻo kapau te mou fanongo ki hono leʻo, ʻoua naʻa fakafefeka homou loto, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he fakahouhau.”
15While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16He ko hai naʻe fakahouhau ʻi he hili ʻenau fanongo? ʻIkai ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei ʻIsipite ia Mōsese?
16For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17Ka ko hai ne houhau ai ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu? ʻIkai ko kinautolu naʻe angahala, pea tō honau ʻangaʻanga ʻi he toafa?
17But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18Pea naʻe fuakava ia kia hai “ʻe ʻikai te nau hū ki hono mālōlōʻanga,” ka kiate kinautolu pe naʻe taʻetui?
18And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19Ko ia ʻoku tau ʻilo, naʻe ʻikai faʻa hū atu ʻakinautolu ko e meʻa ʻi he taʻetui.
19So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
