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.
aparaṁ tadviśrāmaprāpteḥ pratijñā yadi tiṣṭhati tarhyasmākaṁ kaścit cet tasyāḥ phalena vañcito bhavet vayam etasmād bibhīmaḥ|
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.
yato 'smākaṁ samīpe yadvat tadvat teṣāṁ samīpe'pi susaṁvādaḥ pracārito 'bhavat kintu taiḥ śrutaṁ vākyaṁ tān prati niṣphalam abhavat, yataste śrotāro viśvāsena sārddhaṁ tannāmiśrayan|
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.
tad viśrāmasthānaṁ viśvāsibhirasmābhiḥ praviśyate yatastenoktaṁ, "ahaṁ kopāt śapathaṁ kṛtavān imaṁ, pravekṣyate janairetai rna viśrāmasthalaṁ mama|" kintu tasya karmmāṇi jagataḥ sṛṣṭikālāt samāptāni santi|
4 For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”
yataḥ kasmiṁścit sthāne saptamaṁ dinamadhi tenedam uktaṁ, yathā, "īśvaraḥ saptame dine svakṛtebhyaḥ sarvvakarmmabhyo viśaśrāma|"
5 And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”
kintvetasmin sthāne punastenocyate, yathā, "pravekṣyate janairetai rna viśrāmasthalaṁ mama|"
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,
phalatastat sthānaṁ kaiścit praveṣṭavyaṁ kintu ye purā susaṁvādaṁ śrutavantastairaviśvāsāt tanna praviṣṭam,
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.”
iti hetoḥ sa punaradyanāmakaṁ dinaṁ nirūpya dīrghakāle gate'pi pūrvvoktāṁ vācaṁ dāyūdā kathayati, yathā, "adya yūyaṁ kathāṁ tasya yadi saṁśrotumicchatha, tarhi mā kurutedānīṁ kaṭhināni manāṁsi vaḥ|"
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
aparaṁ yihośūyo yadi tān vyaśrāmayiṣyat tarhi tataḥ param aparasya dinasya vāg īśvareṇa nākathayiṣyata|
9 There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
ata īśvarasya prajābhiḥ karttavya eko viśrāmastiṣṭhati|
10 For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.
aparam īśvaro yadvat svakṛtakarmmabhyo viśaśrāma tadvat tasya viśrāmasthānaṁ praviṣṭo jano'pi svakṛtakarmmabhyo viśrāmyati|
11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
ato vayaṁ tad viśrāmasthānaṁ praveṣṭuṁ yatāmahai, tadaviśvāsodāharaṇena ko'pi na patatu|
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.
īśvarasya vādo'maraḥ prabhāvaviśiṣṭaśca sarvvasmād dvidhārakhaṅgādapi tīkṣṇaḥ, aparaṁ prāṇātmano rgranthimajjayośca paribhedāya vicchedakārī manasaśca saṅkalpānām abhipretānāñca vicārakaḥ|
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.
aparaṁ yasya samīpe svīyā svīyā kathāsmābhiḥ kathayitavyā tasyāgocaraḥ ko'pi prāṇī nāsti tasya dṛṣṭau sarvvamevānāvṛtaṁ prakāśitañcāste|
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.
aparaṁ ya uccatamaṁ svargaṁ praviṣṭa etādṛśa eko vyaktirarthata īśvarasya putro yīśurasmākaṁ mahāyājako'sti, ato heto rvayaṁ dharmmapratijñāṁ dṛḍham ālambāmahai|
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.
asmākaṁ yo mahāyājako 'sti so'smākaṁ duḥkhai rduḥkhito bhavitum aśakto nahi kintu pāpaṁ vinā sarvvaviṣaye vayamiva parīkṣitaḥ|
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.
ataeva kṛpāṁ grahītuṁ prayojanīyopakārārtham anugrahaṁ prāptuñca vayam utsāhenānugrahasiṁhāsanasya samīpaṁ yāmaḥ|
