1Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. | 1Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; |
2He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. | 2He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His 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. | 3For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house. |
4And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. | 4For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. |
5Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later. | 5Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; |
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. | 6but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house-- whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end. |
7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice, | 7Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, |
8do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness, | 8DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS, |
9where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works. | 9WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me, AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS. |
10Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’ | 10"THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS'; |
11So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’ ” | 11AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, 'THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.'" |
12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God. | 12Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. |
13But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. | 13But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. |
14We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first. | 14For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, |
15As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.” | 15while it is said, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME." |
16For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? | 16For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? |
17And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? | 17And with whom was He 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 would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed? | 18And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? |
19So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter. | 19So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. |
