Hebrews 4

1 Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it.

Let us fear, therefore, lest, while there is a confirmed promise of an entrance into his rest, any one shall be found among you remaining from entering in.

2 For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.

For we have been evangelized as well as they: but the word which they heard did not profit them, because not contempered with faith in them who heard it.

3 Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.

But we enter into the rest, we (being of) those (who) have believed. But as He hath said, So I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest: for, behold, the works of Aloha from the beginning of the world were.

4 For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”

As he said concerning the shabath, God rested on the seventh day from all his works.

5 And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”

Yet here again he saith, They shall not enter into my rest.

6 Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience,

Therefore, because there was a place into which every one of them might have entered, and they who had it announced first did not enter in, forasmuch as they would not be persuaded;

7 God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

---moreover, (as) another day he appointeth, after much time; as above it is written, that David hath said, To-day if his voice ye will hear, harden not your hearts;

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.

---but if Jeshu-bar-Nun had established them in rest, he not have spoken afterwards of another day:

9 There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

---Therefore, yet to enjoy a shabathism is confirmed to the people of Aloha.

10 For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.

For he who is entered into his rest hath also reposed himself from his works, as Aloha (did) from his.

11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.

Let us, therefore, anxiously endeavour to enter into that rest, that we fall not after the manner of those who were not persuaded.

12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

For living is the Word of Aloha, and all-acting, and more penetrating than a two-edged sword, and entereth to the separation of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints, and of the marrow, and the bones, and discerneth the reasonings and counsel of the heart.

13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

Neither is there any creature that is concealed from before him; but every thing (is) naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom they shall give account.

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.

Therefore having such a great High Priest, Jeshu Meshiha, the Son of Aloha, who hath ascended to heaven, let us persevere in the confession of him.

15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.

For we have not an high priest who cannot suffer along with our infirmity, but (one) who, tempted in every thing as we, (was) separate from sin.

16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Let us therefore approach with confidence to the throne of his grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for help in the time of affliction.
