< Hebrews 3 >

1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,
Eya ta nɔvinye kɔkɔewo, ame siwo kpɔ gome le dziƒo ƒe yɔyɔ la me, mida miaƒe susuwo ɖe Yesu, apostolo kple nunɔlagã, ame si me mieʋu la dzi.
2 who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house.
Ewɔ nuteƒe na Mawu, ame si tiae abe ale si Mose hã wɔ nuteƒe le nuwo katã me le Mawu ƒe aƒe me la ene.
3 For he has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house.
Abe ale si ame si tso aƒe nyui aɖe xɔa kafukafu wu aƒe si wòtso ene la, nenema kee Yesu hã dze na bubu wu Mose.
4 For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things [is] God.
Elabena aƒe ɖe sia ɖe la, ame aɖee tsoe, gake Mawue nye nu sia nu wɔla.
5 And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after;
Mose nye dɔla nuteƒewɔla le nuwo katã me le Mawu ƒe aƒe me, nu sia ɖi ɖase le nu si Mawu ava gblɔ emegbe la ŋuti.
6 but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are we, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.
Ke Kristo nye viŋutsu nuteƒewɔla ɖe Mawu ƒe aƒe dzi, eye miawoe nye Mawu ƒe aƒe la, ne mielé dzideƒo kple mɔkpɔkpɔ si me míeƒoa adegbe le la me ɖe asi.
7 Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,
Eya ta abe ale si Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la gblɔe ene be, “Egbe ne miese eƒe gbe la,
8 harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness;
migasẽ miaƒe dziwo me abe ale si miewɔ le miaƒe aglãdzedze me, le ɣeyiɣi si me mieto dodokpɔ me le gbedadaƒo la ene o.
9 where your fathers tempted [me], by proving [me], and saw my works forty years.
Afi ma mia fofowo dom kpɔ, eye wotem kpɔ le, eye wokpɔ nu si mewɔ ƒe blaene.
10 Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and they have not known my ways;
Eya ta medo dziku ɖe dzidzime ma ŋu, eye megblɔ be, ‘Woƒe dziwo tra mɔ ɣe sia ɣi, eye womenya nye mɔwo o!’
11 so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.
Eya ta le nye dziku me la, meka atam gblɔ be, ‘Womage ɖe nye dzudzɔƒe la me gbeɖe o.’”
12 See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from [the] living God.
Nɔvinyewo, mikpɔ egbɔ be dzi si me nu vɔ̃ le kple dzi maxɔse si trɔna le Mawu gbagbe la yome la naganɔ mia dometɔ aɖeke si o.
13 But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
Ke mide dzi ƒo na mia nɔewo gbe sia gbe, zi ale si ɣeyiɣi li, ale be mia dometɔ aɖeke ƒe dzi maku atri to nu vɔ̃ ƒe beble me o.
14 For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end;
Ɖe míeva be míakpɔ gome le Kristo me, nenye be míelé dzideƒo si le mía si le gɔmedzedzea me la me ɖe asi sesĩe ko.
15 in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;
Abe ale si mawunya gblɔe do ŋgɔ fifia ene be, “Egbe ne miese eƒe gbe la, migasẽ miaƒe dziwo me abe ale si miewɔ le miaƒe aglãdzedze la me ene o.”
16 (for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [was it] not all who came out of Egypt by Moses?
Ame kawoe nye ame siwo se nya la, eye wodze aglã? Ɖe menye woawoe nye ame siwo katã Mose kplɔ do goe tso Egipte lae oa?
17 And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
Eye ame kawo ŋue wòdo dziku ɖo hena ƒe blaene sɔŋ? Ɖe menye ame siwo wɔ nu vɔ̃, eye woƒe ŋutilã kukuwo tsi gbea dzi lae oa?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?
Eye ame kawoe Mawu ka atam na be womage ɖe yeƒe dzudzɔƒe la me gbeɖe o, ne menye ame siwo sẽ to lae oa?
19 And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief; )
Ale míekpɔe kɔtɛe be womete ŋu ge ɖe dzudzɔƒe la me o le woƒe dzimaxɔse ta.
