Hebreohanon 3
1 Busa, mga igsoong balaan, nga mga mag-aambit sa langitnon nga pagtawag, hinoktuki ninyo si Jesus, ang apostol ug labawng sacerdote sa atong tinoohan.
My fellow believers, [God] has set you apart and has chosen you, just like he chose me. So consider Jesus. [He is God’s] messenger to us. He is also the Supreme Priest whom we say we believe in.
2 Siya matinumanon sa Dios nga mao ang nagtudlo kaniya, maingon nga si Moises usab nagmatinumanon diha sa balay sa Dios.
He faithfully [served God], who appointed him, just like Moses faithfully [served] God’s people [MTY].
3 Apan si Jesus naisip nga labaw pa ug himaya kay kang Moises, maingon nga ang magtutukod sa balay labaw pa ug dungog kay sa balay.
Just like every house is made by someone {as someone makes every house}, Jesus made everything, and he is God/Divine. So God has considered that Jesus is worthy [that people honor] him more than they honor Moses, just like the one who builds a house deserves that people honor him more than they should honor the house [he built].
4 (Kay ang matag-usa ka balay may tawong nagtukod niini, apan ang magtutukod sa tanang mga butang mao ang Dios.)
5 Ug si Moises ingon nga sulogoon matinumanon tuod diha sa tibuok balay sa Dios, sa pagpamatuod labut sa mga butang nga sa kaulahiay iyang igapamulong;
Moses very faithfully [served God as he] ([helped/cared for]) [MET] God’s people, just like a servant [faithfully serves his master]. The result was that Moses testified about what Jesus would say later.
6 apan si Cristo ingon nga Anak matinumanon sa pagdumala sa balay sa Dios. Ug kita mao ang iyang balay kon batonan ta nga malig-on ang atong pagsalig ug garbo sa atong paglaum.
But Christ [faithfully serves God as he] ([helps/cares for]) his own people [MTY, MET], just like a [son helps/cares for his own family]. And we are God’s people [MTY] if we continue to confidently [believe in Christ] and if we continue to confidently wait for [what God will do for us].
7 Busa, ingon sa gisulti sa Espiritu Santo, Karong adlawa, inigkadungog ninyo sa iyang tingog,
The Holy Spirit [caused the Psalmist to write these words in the Scriptures to the Israelites]: Now, when you [(pl)] hear God speaking to you [MTY],
8 ayaw ninyo pagahia ang inyong mga kasingkasing ingon niadtong pagpangsupil nila batok kanako, sa adlaw sa pagpanulay didto sa kamingawan,
do not stubbornly ([disobey/refuse to] obey [him]) [IDM], [as your Jewish ancestors stubbornly disobeyed him] when they rebelled against [him] in the desert. [At that time, God said to your ancestors], “They tried to determine how many [things that displeased me they could do] in the desert [without me punishing them].
9 diin ang inyong mga ginikanan misulay kanako ug nakita nila ang akong mga buhat sulod sa kap-atan ka tuig.
Your ancestors repeatedly tested [whether I would be patient with them, even though] for 40 years they saw all the amazing things I did.
10 Busa nasuko ako batok niadtong kaliwatana, ug miingon ako, `Kanunay gayud silang manghisalaag sa ilang mga kasingkasing; wala sila mahibalo sa akong mga dalan.'
So, I became disgusted with those people who saw those things, and I said [about them], ‘They are constantly disloyal to me, and they do not understand how I [wanted them] to conduct their lives.’
11 Sumala sa akong gipanumpa tungod sa akong kapungot, `Dili gayud sila makasulod sa akong kapahulayan.'"
As a result, because I was angry with them, I solemnly declared, ‘They will not enter [the land of Canaan] where I would let them rest [MTY]!’”
12 Magmatngon kamo, mga igsoon, basi nga diha kang bisan kinsa kaninyo maanaa unyay dautan ug dili matinoohong kasingkasing, nga magataral kaninyo sa pagpamiya gikan sa buhi nga Dios.
So, my fellow believers, be careful that none of you is so evil that you stop trusting [in Christ]. That would cause you to reject God who is all-powerful.
13 Apan pagtinambagay kamo ang usa sa usa sa matag-adlaw, samtang matawag pa kini nga "karong adlawa," aron wala kaninyoy magmagahi tungod sa pagkamalimbongon sa sala.
Instead, each of you must encourage each other every day, while [you still have] the opportunity [IDM], in order that none of you may stubbornly [reject God] by [letting others] deceive you (OR, as you deceive yourselves), [with the result that] you [(sg)] sin [PRS].
14 Kay kita nahimong mga mag-aambit kang Cristo, kon ang atong unang pagsalig padayonan ta sa pagkupot nga malig-on hangtud sa katapusan ug
[We must encourage one another], because we [(inc)] benefit from [all] Christ [has done] only if we firmly keep trusting [in him] from the time when we first confidently [trusted in him] until [the time when] we die [EUP].
15 samtang ginaingon pa, Karong adlawa, inigkadungog ninyo sa iyang tingog, ayaw ninyo pagahia ang inyong mga kasingkasing ingon niadtong pagpangsupil nila batok kanako."
[We can do this] by paying attention to [what the Psalmist wrote in that Scripture passage in which] God said, Now, when you hear me speaking [to you(pl)] [MTY], do not stubbornly disobey me as [your ancestors stubbornly disobeyed me] when they rebelled [against me].
16 Kinsa ba kadto sila nga nanagpakadungog, ngani misupil batok kaniya? Dili ba mao man kadto silang tanan nga namahawa sa Egipto ubos sa pagpangulo ni Moises?
([You must keep trusting in God] because you must remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard him speaking to them./Do you remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard [him speaking to them]?) [RHQ] It was people who had certainly experienced [LIT] God’s power. It was all those people whom Moses led miraculously out of Egypt. [RHQ]
17 Ug kinsa ba kadto sila nga gikasuk-an sa Dios sulod sa kap-atan ka tuig? Dili ba mao man kadto ang mga nanagpakasala, kinsang mga patayng lawas nahibilin didto sa kamingawan?
And ([you must remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40 years./do you [remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40years?) [RHQ] It was those same people who had sinned like that, and who as a result died in the desert! [RHQ]
18 Ug kinsa man ang iyang gipanumpaan nga dili gayud sila makasulod sa iyang kapahulayan, kondili mao kadtong mga masupilon?
And ([you must remember] about whom God solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I would let them rest.”/do you [remember] about whom [God] solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I [would let them] rest”?) [RHQ] It was those Israelites who disobeyed God.
19 Ug nakita ta nga wala gayud sila makasulod tungod sa pagkadili matinoohon.
So, from that example we [(inc)] realize that it was because they did not keep trusting [in God] that they were unable to enter [the land where they would rest].
