< Hebrews 4 >
1 Let us be on our guard, then, though there is a promise still standing of being admitted to his rest, lest any one of you should be found to have come short of it.
aparaM tadvizrAmaprAptEH pratijnjA yadi tiSThati tarhyasmAkaM kazcit cEt tasyAH phalEna vanjcitO bhavEt vayam EtasmAd bibhImaH|
2 For the Good News is come to us just as it did to them. But the message they heard was of no benefit to them, because they did not share the faith of those who gave heed to it.
yatO 'smAkaM samIpE yadvat tadvat tESAM samIpE'pi susaMvAdaH pracAritO 'bhavat kintu taiH zrutaM vAkyaM tAn prati niSphalam abhavat, yatastE zrOtArO vizvAsEna sArddhaM tannAmizrayan|
3 We are actually entering into that rest, we who have believed, as God has said, -In my wrath I swore - "They shall not enter into my Rest," although his works were finished since the foundation of the world.
tad vizrAmasthAnaM vizvAsibhirasmAbhiH pravizyatE yatastEnOktaM, "ahaM kOpAt zapathaM kRtavAn imaM, pravEkSyatE janairEtai rna vizrAmasthalaM mama|" kintu tasya karmmANi jagataH sRSTikAlAt samAptAni santi|
4 For he has said, somewhere, regarding the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all his work.
yataH kasmiMzcit sthAnE saptamaM dinamadhi tEnEdam uktaM, yathA, "IzvaraH saptamE dinE svakRtEbhyaH sarvvakarmmabhyO vizazrAma|"
5 And again in this passage, They shall not enter into my rest.
kintvEtasmin sthAnE punastEnOcyatE, yathA, "pravEkSyatE janairEtai rna vizrAmasthalaM mama|"
6 Since, then, it remains that some should enter into it, and since those who formerly had the Good News preached to them did not enter in because of unbelief,
phalatastat sthAnaM kaizcit pravESTavyaM kintu yE purA susaMvAdaM zrutavantastairavizvAsAt tanna praviSTam,
7 he again fixes a day, saying long afterward by David’s lips, in words already quoted, Today if you hear his voice, Continue not to harden your hearts.
iti hEtOH sa punaradyanAmakaM dinaM nirUpya dIrghakAlE gatE'pi pUrvvOktAM vAcaM dAyUdA kathayati, yathA, "adya yUyaM kathAM tasya yadi saMzrOtumicchatha, tarhi mA kurutEdAnIM kaThinAni manAMsi vaH|"
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
aparaM yihOzUyO yadi tAn vyazrAmayiSyat tarhi tataH param aparasya dinasya vAg IzvarENa nAkathayiSyata|
9 So there remains a Sabbath Rest for the people of God.
ata Izvarasya prajAbhiH karttavya EkO vizrAmastiSThati|
10 For whoever has entered into his rest has rested from his works, just as God did from his.
aparam IzvarO yadvat svakRtakarmmabhyO vizazrAma tadvat tasya vizrAmasthAnaM praviSTO janO'pi svakRtakarmmabhyO vizrAmyati|
11 Let us, then, be earnest to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall into the same example of disobedience.
atO vayaM tad vizrAmasthAnaM pravESTuM yatAmahai, tadavizvAsOdAharaNEna kO'pi na patatu|
12 For living is the Word of God, and active, and sharper than any two- edged sword, piercing even to the severance of soul form spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the very thoughts and conceptions of the heart.
Izvarasya vAdO'maraH prabhAvaviziSTazca sarvvasmAd dvidhArakhaggAdapi tIkSNaH, aparaM prANAtmanO rgranthimajjayOzca paribhEdAya vicchEdakArI manasazca sagkalpAnAm abhiprEtAnAnjca vicArakaH|
13 And there is not a creature hidden form him, but all things are naked and laid prostrate before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
aparaM yasya samIpE svIyA svIyA kathAsmAbhiH kathayitavyA tasyAgOcaraH kO'pi prANI nAsti tasya dRSTau sarvvamEvAnAvRtaM prakAzitanjcAstE|
14 Inasmuch, then, as we have a great High Priest, Jesus, the Son of God, who has passed through the heavens, let us hold fast our confession of faith.
aparaM ya uccatamaM svargaM praviSTa EtAdRza EkO vyaktirarthata Izvarasya putrO yIzurasmAkaM mahAyAjakO'sti, atO hEtO rvayaM dharmmapratijnjAM dRPham AlambAmahai|
15 For we have not a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.
asmAkaM yO mahAyAjakO 'sti sO'smAkaM duHkhai rduHkhitO bhavitum azaktO nahi kintu pApaM vinA sarvvaviSayE vayamiva parIkSitaH|
16 Let us, then, draw near with glad boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help us in our times of need.
