Hebrews 4
1 Let us be afraid therefore, lest, a promise being left behind to enter into his rest, any of you should seem to have come short.
Na, kia mataku tatou, i te mea ka tukua iho nei he korero pai mo tatou kia tae atu ki tona okiokinga, kei tirohia mai tetahi o koutou kua mahue ki muri.
2 For we also are having good news preached, just as also those men, but the word of hearing did not benefit those men, not having been mixed together with faith in those who heard.
He mea kauwhau hoki te rongopai ki a tatou, he pera ano me tera i a ratou: heoi kihai te kupu i rangona i whai pai ki a ratou; no te mea kihai i whakananua ki te whakapono i roto i te hunga i rangona ai.
3 For those who believe enter into that rest, just as he said, So I swore in my wrath, They will not enter into my rest, although the works occurred from the foundation of the world.
Ka taea hoki te okiokinga e tatou kua whakapono nei; ka rite ki tana i ki ra, Na reira i riri ai ahau, i oati ai hoki, e kore ratou e tae ki toku okiokinga: kua oti na hoki nga mahi i te timatanga ra ano o te ao.
4 For he spoke somewhere about the seventh this way, And God rested during the seventh day from all his works,
Ko tana kupu hoki tenei i tetahi wahi mo te ra whitu, A ka okioki te Atua i te ra whitu i ana mahi katoa.
5 and in this again, They will not enter into my rest.
I tenei wahi ano hoki, E kore ratou e tae ki toku okiokinga.
6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter into it, and those who formerly had good news did not enter because of disobedience,
Na, tera atu ano he taenga mo etahi ki reira; kihai hoki te hunga i kauwhautia ai te rongopai ki a ratou i mua i tae, no te mea kahore o ratou whakapono:
7 again he appoints a certain day, Today, saying in David after so long a time (as it is said), Today if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.
A ka motuhia mai e ia tetahi ra, i a ia i mea ra i ta Rawiri, Hei aianei, i muri i taua wa roa ra; ko te kupu hoki tenei, Hei aianei, ki te rongo koutou ki tona reo, kaua e whakapakeketia o koutou ngakau.
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken about another day after these things.
Mehemea hoki i whai okiokinga ratou i a Hohua, e kore e korerotia e ia tetahi atu ra i muri iho.
9 There remains therefore a sabbath for the people of God.
Ina, tera atu ano he hapati okiokinga mo te iwi o te Atua.
10 For a man who has entered into his rest, he has also rested from his works, as God did from his own.
Ki te tae hoki te tangata ki tona okiokinga, ka okioki ano ia i ana mahi ake, ka pera me te Atua i okioki i ana mahi ake.
11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest, so that not any man may fall by the same example of disobedience.
Na, kia puta to tatou uaua ki te tomo ki taua okiokinga, kei pera te whakaponokore o tetahi, a ka hinga.
12 For the word of God is living, and potent, and sharper, above every two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division both of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and discernible of the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Ora tonu hoki te kupu a te Atua, mana tonu, koi rawa atu i tetahi hoari matarua, ngoto tonu, a wehea noatia te ngakau me te wairua, nga ponapona me te hinu wheua, a wawae ana ano i nga whakaaro, i nga hihiritanga o te ngakau.
13 And there is no creature concealed from his presence, but all things are naked and vulnerable to his eyes, before whom is the word to us.
Kahore hoki he mea hanga i ngaro ki tona aroaro: heoi e takoto kau ana, e tuwhera ana nga mea katoa ki ona kanohi, kei a ia nei he kupu mo tatou.
14 Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us take hold of the affirmation.
Na, he tino tohunga nui to tatou, kua tomo ki nga rangi, a Ihu, te Tama a te Atua, kia mau pu tatou ki te tikanga i whakaaetia e tatou.
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who was tempted in all things in the same way, without sin.
Ehara hoki to tatou i te tohunga nui e kore e ahei kia mamae tahi me tatou e ngoikore nei; i whakamatautauria nei hoki ia i nga mea katoa, i i peneitia me tatou, kahore ia he hara.
16 Let us therefore come near with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may take mercy, and may find grace for timely help.
Na, kia haere maia atu tatou ki te torona o te aroha noa, kia puta mai ai ki a tatou te mahi tohu, kia kitea ai e tatou ta te aroha noa hei awhina mai mo nga wa e mate ai.
