Hebrews 4

1 Wherefore, let us be afraid, lest a promise of entrance into the rest, being left, any of you should seem to fall 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 glad tidings have been proclaimed to us, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them; not being mixed with faith in them who heard 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 For we, who have believed, do enter into the rest, as he said, "So, I swore, in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest"; namely, from the works that were finished at the formation 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 he has spoken somewhere concerning the seventh day, thus: "And God rested on the seventh day, from all his works."

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

5 And in this, again, "They shall not enter into my rest."

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

6 Since, then, it remains for some to enter into it, and that they who first received the good tidings, did not enter in on account of unbelief:

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 again, he limits a certain day, saying, by David, "To-day," after so long a time; as it is said, "To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not 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 has caused them to rest, he would not, after that, have spoken of another day.

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

9 There remains, therefore, a divine rest for the people of God.

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

10 For he who has entered into his rest, has himself, also, rested from his own works, like as God, also, rested from his.

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

11 Wherefore let us carefully strive to enter into THIS REST, lest any one should fall after the same example of unbelief.

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 powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and purposes 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 And there is no creature concealed from his sight, for all things are naked and open to the eyes of him, to whom we must give an 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 Now, having a great High Priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

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 have not a High Priest who can not sympathize with our weaknesses; but one who was tried in all points, according to the likeness of his nature to our ours, 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, therefore, approach, with boldness, to the throne of favor, that we may receive mercy, and obtain favor for the purpose of seasonable help.

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.
