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.
Ya mere, ebe ọ bụ na nkwa nke ịba nʼizuike ya ka ghere oghe, ka anyị kpachapụ anya hụ na o nweghị onye ọbụla a ga-ahụta dịka onye etozughị ya.
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.
Nʼihi na-eziela anyị oziọma ahụ, dị ka ezikwara ha: ma oziọma ahụ ha nụrụ abaraghị ha uru nʼihi na ha ejighị okwukwe nara ya.
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.
Ma anyị bụ ndị kweere na-abanye nʼebe izuike ahụ, dị ka Chineke si kwuo, “Aṅụrụ m iyi nʼiwe m, ‘Ha agaghị abanye nʼizuike m ma ọlị.’” O kwuru nke a nʼagbanyeghị na ọ rụchaala ọrụ ya site na ntọala ụwa.
4 For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”
Nʼihi nʼotu ebe, o nweela ihe o kwuru banyere ụbọchị nke asaa site nʼokwu ndị a: “Chineke zuru ike site nʼọrụ ya niile, nʼụbọchị nke asaa.”
5 And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”
Ma nʼebe a kwa, e kwuru, “Ha agaghị abanye nʼebe izuike m ma ọlị.”
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,
Ebe ọ bụ na ohere dịịrị ụfọdụ mmadụ ịbanye nʼime ya, ma ndị ahụ buru ụzọ nata oziọma ahụ abanyeghị nʼihi nnupu isi.
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.”
O wepụtara ụbọchị ọzọ nke ọ kpọrọ Taa, o sitere nʼọnụ Devid kwuo okwu ahụ e kwurula ihe banyere nʼoge gara aga sị, “Taa, ọ bụrụ na unu anụ olu ya, unu emela ka obi unu sie ike.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
Nʼihi na a sị na Joshua nyere ha ezumike, ọ gaghị ekwu banyere ụbọchị ọzọ.
9 There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
Otu ụbọchị izuike fọdụrụ nye ndị nke Chineke.
10 For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.
Nʼihi na onye ọbụla banyere nʼezumike ya esitela nʼọrụ nke ya onwe ya nwee izuike dị ka Chineke siri banye nʼizuike nke ya.
11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
Ya mere, ka anyị mee ka ike anyị ha, ka anyị banye nʼebe izuike ahụ, ka ọ hapụ ịdịkwa onye ọbụla nke na-agaghị aba nʼihi ịṅomi ekweghị ekwe ha.
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.
Nʼihi na okwu Chineke dị ndụ dịkwa nkọ. Ọ dị nkọ karịa mma ihu abụọ ọbụla. Ọ na-adụba ruo na-ikewa mkpụrụobi na mmụọ, ma rukwaa na ebe nkwonkwo na ụmị kewakwara onwe ha. Ọ na-enyocha ọchịchọ na echiche obi ndị mmadụ.
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.
Ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla nʼime ihe niile e kere eke pụrụ izo onwe ya site nʼebe Chineke nọ. Ihe niile ghere oghe, ma gbarakwa ọtọ nʼihu anya ya. Ọ bụ nʼihu ya ka anyị niile ga-aza ajụjụ banyere ndụ anyị niile.
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.
Ebe ọ bụ na anyị nwere onyeisi nchụaja dị ukwuu, onye nke gaferela nʼeluigwe, Jisọs Ọkpara Chineke, ka anyị jidesienụ okwukwe anyị ike.
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.
Nʼihi na anyị nwere onyeisi nchụaja nke nwere ike ịghọta adịghị ike anyị. A nwara ya ọnwụnwa nʼụzọ niile dị ka a na-anwa anyị taa. Ma, o meghị mmehie nʼụzọ ọbụla mgbe a nwara ya.
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.
Ya mere, ka anyị bịaruo ocheeze amara ahụ nso na-atụghị egwu, ka anyị si otu a nata ebere, ma chọtakwa amara nke ga-enyere anyị aka nʼoge mkpa.
