عِبرانِيّين 4

١ 1 وَمَادَامَ الْوَعْدُ بِالدُّخُولِ إِلَى الرَّاحَةِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ قَائِماً حَتَّى الآنَ، فَلْنَخَفْ: فَرُبَّمَا تَبَيَّنَ أَنَّ بَعْضاً مِنْكُمْ قَدْ فَشَلُوا فِي الدُّخُولِ.

Let us fear therefore lest the promise being left of entering into his rest, any of you should be thought to be wanting.

٢ 2 ذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْبِشَارَةَ بِالْوَعْدِ قَدْ وَصَلَتْ إِلَيْنَا، نَحْنُ أَيْضاً، كَمَا كَانَتْ قَدْ وَصَلَتْ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الشَّعْبِ. وَلَكِنَّ الْبِشَارَةَ لَمْ تَنْفَعْ سَامِعِيهَا شَيْئاً، لأَنَّهُمْ قَابَلُوهَا بِالرَّفْضِ فَلَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِها.

For 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.

٣ 3 أَمَّا نَحْنُ، الَّذِينَ آمَنَّا بِالْبِشَارَةِ، فَسَوْفَ نَدْخُلُ الرَّاحَةَ الإِلَهِيَّةَ. إِذْ قَالَ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا: «وَهَكَذَا، فِي غَضَبِي، أَقْسَمْتُ قَائِلاً: إِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَانَ رَاحَتِي!» هَذِهِ الرَّاحَةُ، كَانَتْ جَاهِزَةً مُنْذُ أَنْ أَتَمَّ اللهُ تَأْسِيسَ الْعَالَمِ.

For 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.

٤ 4 فَقَدْ قَالَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ مُشِيراً إِلَى الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ: «ثُمَّ اسْتَرَاحَ اللهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْمَالِهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ».

For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works.

٥ 5 ثُمَّ عَادَ فَقَالَ: «لَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَانَ رَاحَتِي!»

And in this place again: If they shall enter into my rest.

٦ 6 وَهَكَذَا، يَتَبَيَّنُ أَنَّ الرَّاحَةَ الإِلَهِيَّةَ هِيَ فِي انْتِظَارِ مَنْ سَيَدْخُلُونَ إِلَيْهَا. وَبِمَا أَنَّ الَّذِينَ تَلَقَّوْا الْبِشَارَةَ بِها أَوَّلاً لَمْ يَدْخُلُوا إِلَيْهَا بِسَبَبِ تَمَرُّدِهِمْ،

Seeing then it remaineth that some are to enter into it, and they, to whom it was first preached, did not enter because of unbelief:

٧ 7 أَعْلَنَ اللهُ عَنْ فُرْصَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ، إِذْ قَالَ: «الْيَوْمَ» بِلِسَانِ دَاوُدَ، بَعْدَمَا مَضَى زَمَانٌ طَوِيلٌ عَلَى مَا كَانَ قَدْ قَالَهُ قَدِيماً: «الْيَوْمَ، إِنْ سَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَهُ، فَلا تُقَسُّوا قُلُوبَكُمْ».

Again 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.

٨ 8 فَلَوْ كَانَ يَشُوعُ قَدْ أَدْخَلَ الشَّعْبَ إِلَى الرَّاحَةِ، لَمَا تَكَلَّمَ اللهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ مَوْعِدٍ جَدِيدٍ لِلدُّخُولِ بِقَوْلِهِ: «الْيَومَ».

For if Jesus had given them rest, he would never have afterwards spoken of another day.

٩ 9 إِذَنْ، مَازَالَتِ الرَّاحَةُ الْحَقِيقِيَّةُ مَحْفُوظَةً لِشَعْبِ اللهِ.

There remaineth therefore a day of rest for the people of God.

١٠ 10 فَالَّذِي يَدْخُلُ تِلْكَ الرَّاحَةَ، يَسْتَرِيحُ هُوَ أَيْضاً مِنْ أَعْمَالِهِ، كَمَا اسْتَرَاحَ اللهُ مِنْ أَعْمَالِهِ.

For he that is entered into his rest, the same also hath rested from his works, as God did from his.

١١ 11 لِذَلِكَ، لِنَجْتَهِدْ جَمِيعاً لِلدُّخُولِ إِلَى تِلْكَ الرَّاحَةِ، لِكَيْ لَا يَسْقُطَ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا كَمَا سَقَطَ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ عَصَوْا أَمْرَ اللهِ.

Let us hasten therefore to enter into that rest; lest any man fall into the same example of unbelief.

١٢ 12 ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ حَيَّةٌ، وَفَعَّالَهٌ، وَأَمْضَى مِنْ كُلِّ سَيْفٍ لَهُ حَدَّانِ، وَخَارِقَةٌ إِلَى مُفْتَرَقِ النَّفْسِ وَالرُّوحِ وَالْمَفَاصِلِ وَنُخَاعِ الْعِظَامِ، وَقَادِرَةٌ أَنْ تُمَيِّزَ أَفْكَارَ الْقَلْبِ وَنِيَّاتِهِ.

For 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.

١٣ 13 وَلَيْسَ هُنَالِكَ مَخْلُوقٌ وَاحِدٌ مَحْجُوبٌ عَنْ نَظَرِ اللهِ، بَلْ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ عُرْيَانٌ وَمَكْشُوفٌ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ، هُوَ الَّذِي سَنُؤَدِّي لَهُ حِسَاباً.

Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight: but all things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is.

١٤ 14 فَمَادَامَ لَنَا رَئِيسَ كَهَنَتِنَا الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي ارْتَفَعَ مُجْتَازاً السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَهُوَ يَسُوعُ ابْنُ اللهِ، فَلْنَتَمَسَّكْ دَائِماً بِالاعْتِرَافِ بِهِ.

Having therefore a great high priest that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession.

١٥ 15 ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ رَئِيسَ الْكَهَنَةِ الَّذِي لَنَا، لَيْسَ عَاجِزاً عَنْ تَفَهُّمِ ضَعَفَاتِنَا، بَلْ إِنَّهُ قَدْ تَعَرَّضَ لِلتَّجَارِبِ الَّتِي نَتَعَرَّضُ نَحْنُ لَهَا، إِلّا أَنَّهُ بِلا خَطِيئةٍ.

For 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.

١٦ 16 فَلْنَتَقَدَّمْ بِثِقَةٍ إِلَى عَرْشِ النِّعْمَةِ، لِنَنَالَ الرَّحْمَةَ وَنَجِدَ نِعْمَةً تُعِينُنَا عِنْدَ الْحَاجَةِ.

Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid.
