< Hebrews 3 >

1 For this reason, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and Chief Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,
Therfor, hooli britheren, and parceneris of heuenli cleping, biholde ye the apostle and the bischop of oure confessioun, Jhesu,
2 being faithful to Him who appointed Him, as also Moses [was] in all His house.
which is trewe to hym that made hym, as also Moises in al the hous of hym.
3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who builds it has more honor than the house.
But this byschop is had worthi of more glorie than Moises, bi as myche as he hath more honour of the hous, that made the hous.
4 For every house is built by someone, and He who built all things [is] God,
For ech hous is maad of sum man; he that made alle thingis of nouyt is God.
5 and Moses [was] indeed steadfast in all His house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken—
And Moises was trewe in al his hous, as a seruaunt, in to witnessyng of tho thingis that weren to be seid;
6 but Christ, as a Son over His house, whose house we are, if we hold fast the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope to the end.
but Crist as a sone in his hous. Which hous we ben, if we holden sad trist and glorie of hope in to the ende.
7 For this reason, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you may hear His voice—
Wherfor as the Hooli Goost seith, To dai, if ye han herd his vois, nyle ye hardne youre hertis,
8 you may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,
as in wraththing, lijk the dai of temptacioun in desert;
9 in which your fathers tempted Me; they proved Me, and saw My works [for] forty years;
where youre fadris temptiden me, and preueden, and siyen my werkis fourti yeeris.
10 for this reason I was grieved with that generation and said, They always go astray in [their] heart, and these have not known My ways;
Wherfor Y was wrooth to this generacioun, and Y seide, Euere more thei erren in herte, for thei knewen not my weies;
11 so I swore in My anger, They will [not] enter into My rest.”
to whiche Y swore in my wraththe, thei schulen not entre in to my reste.
12 Watch out, brothers, lest there will be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,
Britheren, se ye, lest perauenture in ony of you be an yuel herte of vnbileue, to departe fro the lyuynge God.
13 but exhort one another every day, while [it] is called “Today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin,
But moneste you silf bi alle daies, the while to dai is named, that noon of you be hardned bi fallas of synne.
14 for we have become partakers of the Christ, if we may hold fast the confidence [we had] at the beginning to the end,
For we ben maad parceneris of Crist, if netheles we holden the bigynnyng of his substaunce sad in to the ende.
15 as it is said, “Today, if you may hear His voice, you may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation.”
While it is seid, to dai, if ye han herd the vois of hym, nyle ye hardne youre hertis, as in that wraththing.
16 For who [were those], having heard, [that] provoked, but not all those having come out of Egypt through Moses?
For summen heringe wraththiden, but not alle thei that wenten out of Egipt bi Moises.
17 But with whom was He grieved forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
But to whiche was he wraththid fourti yeeris? Whether not to hem that synneden, whos careyns weren cast doun in desert?
18 And to whom did He swear that they will not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe?
And to whiche swoor he, that thei schulden not entre in to the reste of hym, not but to hem that weren vnbileueful?
19 And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
And we seen, that thei myyten not entre in to the reste of hym for vnbileue.
