Jo-Hibrania 3

1 Emomiyo, owetena maler kendo ma oseluongi gi luong mar polo, keturu pachu duto kuom Yesu, ma en jaote kendo jadolo Maduongʼ mar yie mwahulo.

WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, contemplate the apostle and high-priest whom ye confess, Jesus Christ;

2 Notiyo tich mane okete mondo otim gadiera, mana kaka Musa bende notiyo tichne gadiera e od Nyasaye gi chunye duto.

who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses also was in all his house.

3 To mana kaka jager ot nigi duongʼ moloyo duongʼ mar ot mogero, e kaka Yesu onego omi duongʼ moloyo Musa.

For this personage hath been counted worthy of higher glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built it, hath greater honour than the house.

4 Nikech ot ka ot nigi ngʼat mogere, to Nyasaye ema ogero gik moko duto.

For every house is built by some person; but he who is the architect of all things is God.

5 Musa notiyo gi adiera e od Nyasaye gi chunye duto, mobedo janeno kuom gik mane ibiro ler tiendgi bangʼe.

And Moses indeed was faithful in all that house of his as a servant, to bear testimony of the things which should be after spoken;

6 To Kristo en ja-adiera kaka jatend od Wuon mare. To wan e jood Nyasaye, ka wamako matek chir kod geno ma wan-go.

but Christ as a son over his own house: whose house are we, if we hold firmly the confidence and glorying of hope stedfast unto the end.

7 Kuom mano, mana kaka Roho Maler wacho niya, “Kawuono ka uwinjo dwonde,

Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

8 to kik chunyu bed mapek, kaka ne utimo e ndalo mane ungʼanyo e kinde mag tem e thim,

harden not your hearts, as in that bitter provocation, at the day of the temptation in the wilderness;

9 kama kwereu notemoae gi tem kendo negineno gima ne atimonegi kuom higni piero angʼwen.

when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works during forty years.

10 Mano emomiyo iya nowangʼ gi tiengʼno kendo nawacho ni, ‘Chuny jogi ohero rwenyo, kendo pok gingʼeyo yorena.’

Wherefore I was provoked against that generation, and said, They are always deluded in heart, and they have not known my ways:

11 Omiyo mirima nomaka kodgi, mi nasingora ka akwongʼora ni, ‘Ok ginidonji e yweyona ngangʼ.’”

so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

12 Owetena neuru ni ubedo motangʼ mondo kik ngʼato kuomu bed gi chuny marach motamore yie mamiyo oweyo Nyasaye mangima.

Take heed, brethren, that there be not in any one of you a wicked heart of infidelity, evident in departure from the living God:

13 To moloyo ngʼato ka ngʼato mondo ojiw nyawadgi pile pile kapod wan gi kinde miluongo ni Kawuono, mondo kik richo gal ngʼato kuomu mi chunye bed matek.

but exhort one another daily, whilst to-day remains, that no one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

14 Nikech ka wamako geno mane wachakogo matek nyaka giko to wanabed jocham girkeni kaachiel gi Kristo.

For we are partakers with Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end;

15 Mano emomiyo owachi niya, “Kawuono ka uwinjo dwonde, to kik chunyu bed mapek, kaka ne utimo e ndalo mane ungʼanyo.”

while it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts as in the provocation.

16 To gin jomage manowinjo mi ongʼanyone? Donge ne gin ji duto mane Musa otelonegi kogolo Misri?

For some, though they had heard, provoked him; yet not all who came out of Egypt by Moses.

17 Koso gin jomage mane okechogo kuom higni piero angʼwen? Donge nokecho gi joma notimo richo ma ringregi nodongʼ e thim kosetho?

But against whom was he incensed forty years? Was it not against those who had sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?

18 Gin jomage ma nokwongʼorenegi ni ok ginidonji e kar yweyone, ka ok gin joma notamore winjo wachne?

And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who did not believe?

19 Omiyo waneno ni ne ok ginyal donjo nikech negitamore yie.

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
