< Jo-Hibrania 4 >

1 Kuom mano, kaka singruok mar donjo kama entie mondo waywe pod nitie, wabeduru motangʼ mondo kik yud ngʼato kuomu ma nigi rem moro ma dimone donjo e yweyono.
Then let us fear, lest at some time, the promise to enter into his rest having been left, some of you may appear to have come short.
2 Nikech wan bende oseyalnwa Injili mana kaka gin bende noyalnegi, to kata kamano wach mane giwinjo ne ok okelonegi konyruok, nikech ne ok girwake kuom yie.
For we truly have had the gospel preached unto us, as they did also: but the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith to those hearing.
3 Koro wan maweseyie wadonjo e yweyono, mana kaka Nyasaye osewacho niya, “Omiyo mirima nomaka kodgi, mi nasingora ka akwongʼora ni, ‘Ok ginidonji e yweyona ngangʼ.’” Nyasaye nowuoyo kama kata obedo ni nosetieko tije chon chakre kinde manochweyo piny.
For we who have believed, do enter into rest: as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: the works truly having been from the foundations of the world.
4 Nikech owuoyo kuom odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo kamachielo kowacho niya, “To e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo Nyasaye noyweyo kuom tijene duto.”
For he somewhere has spoken thus in reference to the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.
5 To waseneno bende e Ndiko motelo ka Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ok ginidonji e yweyona ngangʼ.”
And in this again he has said, They shall not enter into my rest.
6 Kata obedo ni joma noyalnegi Injili mokwongo ne ok odonjo e yweyo mar Nyasaye nikech tok teko, thuolo pod nitie mondo jomoko odonji e yweyono.
Then since it remains that some do enter into it, and those formerly having had the gospel preached unto them did not enter in on account of unbelief,
7 Omiyo osechano thuolo machielo moluongo ni Kawuono, ma en e odiechiengno mane owuoyo kuome bangʼe achien gi dho Daudi, mana kaka waseneno motelo, niya, “Kawuono ka uwinjo dwonde to kik chunyu bed mapek.”
again he appoints a certain day, saying in David, as has previously been said, This day, after so long a time; If you may hear his voice this day, harden not your hearts.
8 Nikech ka dine bed ni Joshua ne nyalo miyogi yweyo, to Nyasaye ok dine owuoyo bangʼe kuom odiechiengʼ machielo.
For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not speak concerning another day after these things.
9 Kuom mano, odiechieng yweyo mar Sabato pod nitie ne jo-Nyasaye;
Therefore there is a sabbatism left for the people of God.
10 nikech ngʼato angʼata madonjo e yweyo mar Nyasaye nyaka ywe e tijene, mana kaka Nyasaye bende noyweyo e tijene.
For the one having entered into his rest has ceased from his works, as God did from his own.
11 Kuom mano, watemuru matek kaka wanyalo mondo wadonji e yweyono, mondo kik ngʼato podhi kuom luwo ranyisi marach mar wich teko.
Therefore let us hasten to enter into that rest, lest some one may fall by the same example of unbelief.
12 Nimar wach Nyasaye ngima kendo tiyo. Obith moloyo ligangla ma dhoge ariyo, kendo opowo chuny dhano nyaka iye mogik, nyaka kuma pach dhano gi chunye jorome, kaachiel gi fuoni gi ondhudho. Kuno ema oketoe bura ne paro kod dwaro malingʼ-lingʼ manie chuny dhano.
For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and a quick discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Onge gimoro kata achiel, kuom gik moko duto mane Nyasaye ochweyo, mopondone. Gik moko duto oyawore kendo oelore e nyim tong wangʼ Jal ma wan duto, ngʼato ka ngʼato, nyaka wabi wachungʼ e nyime kwahulo gik moko duto ma wasetimo.
And no creature is hidden in his presence: but all things are naked and have been laid open to the eyes of him to whom the word is unto us.
14 Kuom mano kaka koro wan gi Jadolo Maduongʼ mosedhi nyaka e polo, ma en Yesu Wuod Nyasaye, wamakuru yie mwahulo matek.
Therefore having a great high priest, having entered into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the testimony.
15 Nikech ok wan gi jadolo maduongʼ ma ok nyal kechowa e nyawowa, to wan gi mano manyalo kechowa, to nikech en bende noteme gi kit tembe duto mwayudo, makmana ni en noonge gi richo.
For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched with our infirmities; but one having been tempted as to all things like unto us, apart from sin.
16 Kuom mano, wasuduru but kom duongʼ mar ngʼwono ka wan gi chir, mondo wayud kech gi ngʼwono e sa mwadware kony.
Therefore let us draw nigh with confidence to a throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace in every opportune need.
