Hebrews 3
1 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
Whence, holy brethren, partners, in a heavenly calling, attentively consider the Apostle and High—priest of our confession—Jesus
2 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
As one, faithful, to him who made him: as, Moses also, in [all] his house.
3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
For, of more glory than Moses, hath, this one been counted worthy—by as much as more honour than, the house, hath, he that prepared it;
4 And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
For, every house, is prepared by someone, —but, he that hath prepared all things, is, God.
5 Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.
Even Moses, indeed, was faithful in all his house, as an attendant, for a witness of the things which were to be spoken;
6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.
But, Christ, as, a Son, over his house, —whose house are, we, —if, the freedom of speech and boast of the hope, [throughout, firm, ] we hold fast.
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,
Wherefore, —according as saith the Holy Spirit—To-day, if, unto his voice ye would hearken, do not
8 do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,
harden your hearts, —as in the embitterment, in the day of testing in the desert,
9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.
When your fathers tested by proving, and saw my works forty years.
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’
Wherefore I was sore vexed with this generation, and said, Always err they in their heart; —howbeit, they, learned not my ways:
11 So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”
So I sware in mine anger—they shall not enter into my rest!—
12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.
Be taking heed, brethren, lest at any time, there shall be in any one of you, a wicked heart of unbelief, in revolting from a Living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
But be exhorting one another, on each successive day, —while the To-day is being named! lest any from among you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.
For, partners of the Christ, have we become, —if, at least, the beginning of the confidence, throughout, firm, we hold fast:
15 As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”
So long as it is said—To-day, if, unto his voice, ye would hearken, do not harden your hearts, —as in the embitterment.
16 For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
For, who, though they heard, caused embitterment? Nay, indeed! did not all who come forth out of Egypt through Moses?
17 And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
But, with whom, was be sore vexed forty years? Was it not with them who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the desert?
18 And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?
But, unto whom, sware he, that they should not enter into his rest, —save unto them who were obstinate?
19 So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.
And we see, that they were not able to enter, because of unbelief.
