Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
1τοιγαρουν και ημεισ τοσουτον εχοντεσ περικειμενον ημιν νεφοσ μαρτυρων ογκον αποθεμενοι παντα και την ευπεριστατον αμαρτιαν δι υπομονησ τρεχωμεν τον προκειμενον ημιν αγωνα
2looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
2αφορωντεσ εισ τον τησ πιστεωσ αρχηγον και τελειωτην ιησουν οσ αντι τησ προκειμενησ αυτω χαρασ υπεμεινεν σταυρον αισχυνησ καταφρονησασ εν δεξια τε του θρονου του θεου κεκαθικεν
3For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.
3αναλογισασθε γαρ τον τοιαυτην υπομεμενηκοτα υπο των αμαρτωλων εισ αυτον αντιλογιαν ινα μη καμητε ταισ ψυχαισ υμων εκλυομενοι
4You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
4ουπω μεχρι αιματοσ αντικατεστητε προσ την αμαρτιαν ανταγωνιζομενοι
5You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
5και εκλελησθε τησ παρακλησεωσ ητισ υμιν ωσ υιοισ διαλεγεται υιε μου μη ολιγωρει παιδειασ κυριου μηδε εκλυου υπ αυτου ελεγχομενοσ
6for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
6ον γαρ αγαπα κυριοσ παιδευει μαστιγοι δε παντα υιον ον παραδεχεται
7It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
7εισ παιδειαν υπομενετε ωσ υιοισ υμιν προσφερεται ο θεοσ τισ γαρ εστιν υιοσ ον ου παιδευει πατηρ
8But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
8ει δε χωρισ εστε παιδειασ ησ μετοχοι γεγονασιν παντεσ αρα νοθοι εστε και ουχ υιοι
9Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
9ειτα τουσ μεν τησ σαρκοσ ημων πατερασ ειχομεν παιδευτασ και ενετρεπομεθα ου πολλω μαλλον υποταγησομεθα τω πατρι των πνευματων και ζησομεν
10For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
10οι μεν γαρ προσ ολιγασ ημερασ κατα το δοκουν αυτοισ επαιδευον ο δε επι το συμφερον εισ το μεταλαβειν τησ αγιοτητοσ αυτου
11All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
11πασα δε παιδεια προσ μεν το παρον ου δοκει χαρασ ειναι αλλα λυπησ υστερον δε καρπον ειρηνικον τοισ δι αυτησ γεγυμνασμενοισ αποδιδωσιν δικαιοσυνησ
12Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
12διο τασ παρειμενασ χειρασ και τα παραλελυμενα γονατα ανορθωσατε
13and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
13και τροχιασ ορθασ ποιησατε τοισ ποσιν υμων ινα μη το χωλον εκτραπη ιαθη δε μαλλον
14Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
14ειρηνην διωκετε μετα παντων και τον αγιασμον ου χωρισ ουδεισ οψεται τον κυριον
15looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,
15επισκοπουντεσ μη τισ υστερων απο τησ χαριτοσ του θεου μη τισ ριζα πικριασ ανω φυουσα ενοχλη και δια ταυτησ μιανθωσιν πολλοι
16lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
16μη τισ πορνοσ η βεβηλοσ ωσ ησαυ οσ αντι βρωσεωσ μιασ απεδοτο τα πρωτοτοκια αυτου
17For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
17ιστε γαρ οτι και μετεπειτα θελων κληρονομησαι την ευλογιαν απεδοκιμασθη μετανοιασ γαρ τοπον ουχ ευρεν καιπερ μετα δακρυων εκζητησασ αυτην
18For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
18ου γαρ προσεληλυθατε ψηλαφωμενω ορει και κεκαυμενω πυρι και γνοφω και σκοτω και θυελλη
19the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
19και σαλπιγγοσ ηχω και φωνη ρηματων ησ οι ακουσαντεσ παρητησαντο μη προστεθηναι αυτοισ λογον
20for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.
20ουκ εφερον γαρ το διαστελλομενον καν θηριον θιγη του ορουσ λιθοβοληθησεται
21So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
21και ουτωσ φοβερον ην το φανταζομενον μωυσησ ειπεν εκφοβοσ ειμι και εντρομοσ
22But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
22αλλα προσεληλυθατε σιων ορει και πολει θεου ζωντοσ ιερουσαλημ επουρανιω και μυριασιν αγγελων
23to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
23πανηγυρει και εκκλησια πρωτοτοκων εν ουρανοισ απογεγραμμενων και κριτη θεω παντων και πνευμασιν δικαιων τετελειωμενων
24to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
24και διαθηκησ νεασ μεσιτη ιησου και αιματι ραντισμου κρειττον λαλουντι παρα τον αβελ
25See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
25βλεπετε μη παραιτησησθε τον λαλουντα ει γαρ εκεινοι ουκ εφυγον τον επι γησ παραιτησαμενοι χρηματιζοντα πολλω μαλλον ημεισ οι τον απ ουρανων αποστρεφομενοι
26whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”
26ου η φωνη την γην εσαλευσεν τοτε νυν δε επηγγελται λεγων ετι απαξ εγω σειω ου μονον την γην αλλα και τον ουρανον
27This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
27το δε ετι απαξ δηλοι των σαλευομενων την μεταθεσιν ωσ πεποιημενων ινα μεινη τα μη σαλευομενα
28Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
28διο βασιλειαν ασαλευτον παραλαμβανοντεσ εχωμεν χαριν δι ησ λατρευομεν ευαρεστωσ τω θεω μετα αιδουσ και ευλαβειασ
29for our God is a consuming fire.
29και γαρ ο θεοσ ημων πυρ καταναλισκον
