Hebrews 3
1 Tua ahikom, vantung sapna a neipui a thiangtho suapui te awng, sawltak le ka pualak uh Thiampi Sang Christ Jesus thu ngaisun vun;
Therefore, holy brethren, sharers with others in a heavenly invitation, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whose followers we profess to be.
2 Moses sia Pathian i innkuan theampo tung ah thuman in a om bangma in, Jesus zong ama nasep a pia pa tung ah thuman in om hi.
How faithful He was to Him who appointed Him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house!
3 Banghangziam cile inn sate sia inn sang in upatna a tamzawk bangma in, Jesus zong Moses sang in minthanna tamzaw a nga tu kilawm hi, ci ngaisut tu a hihi.
For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, in so far as he who has built a house has higher honour than the house itself.
4 Banghangziam cile inn theampo sia mi khatpo i asak a hihi; ahihang Pathian sia na theampo a sa pa a hihi.
For every house has had a builder, and the builder of all things is God.
5 Moses sia maisang ah a ki son kik tu nate atu tetti hi tu in, Pathian innkuan theampo tung ah thuman takpi hi;
Moreover, Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant in delivering the message given him to speak;
6 Ahihang Christ sia tapa bang in Ama innkuan i tung ah thuman hi; eite zong ki muanna le lametna hang in lungdamna sia a tawp dong khotak in i len le tua innkuan i hihi.
but Christ was faithful as a Son having authority over God's house, and we are that house, if we hold firm to the End the boldness and the hope which we boast of as ours.
7 Tua ahikom Tha Thiangtho in, tu ni in Ama aw na za uh ahile,
For this reason--as the Holy Spirit warns us, "To-day, if you hear His voice,
8 Senneal ngam sung ze-etna ni sung ah Pathian thin-ukna bang in, na thin uh sahsak heak vun:
do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation on the day of the temptation in the Desert,
9 Na pu le pa te in kum sawmli sung ka nasep te mu a, hong ze-et in, hong sin uh hi.
where your forefathers so sorely tried My patience and saw all that I did during forty years.
10 Tua ahikom tua suan te tung ah ka thin na hi, amate in ka lampi te he ngawl a; a thinsung uh ah a tawntung in khial tawntung uh hi, ci hi.
Therefore I was greatly grieved with that generation, and I said, 'They are ever going astray in heart, and have not learnt to know My paths.'
11 Tua ahikom amate sia ka tawlngakna sung ah tum ngawl tu hi, ci in ka thin-ukna taw ka kiciam hi.
As I swore in My anger, they shall not be admitted to My rest" --
12 Suapui te awng, note zong a nungta Pathian tung pan na tai uh a, up ngawl na thinsung pha ngawl na nei thei ngawl natu uh in kidawm vun.
see to it, brethren, that there is never in any one of you--as perhaps there may be--a sinful and unbelieving heart, manifesting itself in revolt from the ever-living God.
13 Ahihang mawna i theamna tungtawn in na thinsung uh a sah ngawl natu in, tu ni, a kici hun sung ah nisim khat le khat ki hanthawn tavun.
On the contrary encourage one another, day after day, so long as To-day lasts, so that not one of you may be hardened through the deceitful character of sin.
14 Banghangziam cile eite ki muanna ah a kipat pan kipan a tawp dong i kho ahile, Christ taw a neikhawm tu in a kivawt te i hihi;
For we have, all alike, become sharers with Christ, if we really hold our first confidence firm to the End;
15 Tuni in Ama aw na za uh le, Pathian i thin-ukna ni bang in, na thin uh sahsak heak vun, ci hi.
seeing that the warning still comes to us, "To-day, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation."
16 Banghangziam cile amate in a zak zawk uh ciang zong, a thin-uksak te sia Moses tungtawn in Egypt ngam pan a pusuak te theampo hi ngawl hi.
For who were they that heard, and yet provoked God? Was it not the whole of the people who had come out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
17 Ahihang kum sawmli sung kuate tung a thinna ziam? mawna vawt a, senneal ngam ah puk in a thi te hi ngawl ziam?
And with whom was God so greatly grieved for forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, and whose dead bodies fell in the Desert?
18 Taciang a kuate tung ah ka tawlngakna sung ah tum ngawl tu nu hi, ci in kiciam ziam, a um ngawl te tung ah hi ngawl ziam?
And to whom did He swear that they should not be admitted to His rest, if it was not to those who were disobedient?
19 Tua ahikom, amate sia up ngawl na hang in tum thei ngawl hi, ci sia i mu hi.
And so we see that it was owing to lack of faith that they could not be admitted.
