ܥܒܪ̈ܝܐ 4

1 ܢܕܚܠ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܠܡܐ ܟܕ ܩܝܡ ܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܕܡܥܠܬܐ ܕܠܢܝܚܬܗ ܢܫܬܟܚ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܦܐܫ ܡܢ ܕܠܡܥܠ

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you might seem to have failed [of it].

2 ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܤܬܒܪܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܐܘܬܪܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܡܙܓܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܘܗ

For indeed we have had glad tidings presented to us, even as they also; but the word of the report did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard.

3 ܥܐܠܝܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܢܝܚܬܐ ܚܢܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܝܡܢܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܡܝܬ ܒܪܘܓܙܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܢܝܚܬܝ ܕܗܐ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܫܘܪܝܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܘܘ

For we enter into the rest who have believed; as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest; although the works had been completed from [the] foundation of [the] world.

4 ܐܝܟ ܕܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܫܒܬܐ ܕܐܬܢܝܚ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܫܒܝܥܝܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ

For he has said somewhere of the seventh [day] thus, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works:

5 ܘܗܪܟܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܡܪ ܕܠܐ ܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܢܝܚܬܝ

and in this again, If they shall enter into my rest.

6 ܡܛܠ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܢܥܘܠ ܠܗ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܤܬܒܪܘ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܥܠܘ ܒܕܠܐ ܐܬܛܦܝܤܘ

Seeing therefore it remains that some enter into it, and those who first received the glad tidings did not enter in on account of not hearkening to the word,

7 ܬܘܒ ܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܤܐܡ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܥܠ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ ܐܢ ܒܩܠܗ ܬܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܩܫܘܢ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ

again he determines a certain day, saying, in David, 'To-day,' after so long a time; (according as it has been said before), To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8 ܐܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪ ܢܘܢ ܐܢܝܚ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪܟܢ ܥܠ ܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ

For if Jesus had brought them into rest, he would not have spoken afterwards about another day.

9 ܡܕܝܢ ܩܝܡ ܗܘ ܠܡܫܒܬܘ ܠܥܡܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ

There remains then a sabbatism to the people of God.

10 ܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܠ ܠܢܝܚܬܗ ܐܬܬܢܝܚ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܝܠܗ

For he that has entered into his rest, he also has rested from his works, as God did from his own.

11 ܢܬܚܦܛ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܢܥܘܠ ܠܗܝ ܢܝܚܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܦܠ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܛܦܝܤܘ

Let us therefore use diligence to enter into that rest, that no one may fall after the same example of not hearkening to the word.

12 ܚܝܐ ܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܟܠ ܤܥܪܐ ܘܚܪܝܦܐ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܤܦܤܪܐ ܕܬܪܝܢ ܦܘܡܝܗ ܘܥܐܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܦܘܪܫܢܐ ܕܢܦܫܐ ܘܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܕܫܪܝܬܐ ܘܕܡܘܚܐ ܘܕܓܪܡܐ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܘܬܪܥܝܬܐ ܕܠܒܐ

For the word of God [is] living and operative, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and penetrating to [the] division of soul and spirit, both of joints and marrow, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of [the] heart.

13 ܘܠܝܬ ܒܪܝܬܐ ܕܛܫܝܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܗ ܐܠܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܥܪܛܠ ܘܓܠܐ ܩܕܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܕܠܗ ܝܗܒܝܢܢ ܦܬܓܡܐ

And there is not a creature unapparent before him; but all things [are] naked and laid bare to his eyes, with whom we have to do.

14 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܪܒ ܟܘܡܪܐ ܪܒܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܤܠܩ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܢܚܡܤܢ ܒܬܘܕܝܬܗ

Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession.

15 ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܪܒܟܘܡܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܨܐ ܕܢܚܫ ܥܡ ܟܪܝܗܘܬܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܡܢܤܝ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܐܟܘܬܢ ܤܛܪ ܡܢ ܚܛܝܬܐ

For we have not a high priest not able to sympathise with our infirmities, but tempted in all things in like manner, sin apart.

16 ܢܬܩܪܒ ܗܟܝܠ ܒܓܠܐ ܥܝܢ ܠܟܘܪܤܝܐ ܕܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܢܤܒ ܪܚܡܐ ܘܢܫܟܚ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܥܘܕܪܢܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܐܘܠܨܢܐ

Let us approach therefore with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for seasonable help.
