< Hebrews 3 >

1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;
Ὅθεν, ἀδελφοὶ ἅγιοι, κλήσεως ἐπουρανίου μέτοχοι, κατανοήσατε τὸν ἀπόστολον καὶ ἀρχιερέα τῆς ὁμολογίας ἡμῶν ⸀Ἰησοῦν
2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in his house.
πιστὸν ὄντα τῷ ποιήσαντι αὐτὸν ὡς καὶ Μωϋσῆς ⸀ἐντῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ.
3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who built the house has more honor than the house.
πλείονος γὰρ ⸂οὗτος δόξης παρὰ Μωϋσῆν ἠξίωται καθʼ ὅσον πλείονα τιμὴν ἔχει τοῦ οἴκου ὁ κατασκευάσας αὐτόν·
4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.
πᾶς γὰρ οἶκος κατασκευάζεται ὑπό τινος, ὁ ⸀δὲπάντα κατασκευάσας θεός.
5 Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,
καὶ Μωϋσῆς μὲν πιστὸς ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ὡς θεράπων εἰς μαρτύριον τῶν λαληθησομένων,
6 but Messiah is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope.
Χριστὸς δὲ ὡς υἱὸς ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ· ⸀ὃςοἶκός ἐσμεν ἡμεῖς, ⸀ἐὰντὴν παρρησίαν καὶ τὸ καύχημα τῆς ⸀ἐλπίδοςκατάσχωμεν.
7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,
Διό, καθὼς λέγει τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον· Σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε,
8 do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὡς ἐν τῷ παραπικρασμῷ, κατὰ τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ πειρασμοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ,
9 where your fathers tested me and challenged me, and saw my works for forty years.
οὗ ⸀ἐπείρασανοἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν ⸂ἐν δοκιμασίᾳ καὶ εἶδον τὰ ἔργα μου
10 Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and said, 'They always err in their heart, but they did not know my ways;'
τεσσεράκοντα ἔτη· διὸ προσώχθισα τῇ γενεᾷ ⸀ταύτῃκαὶ εἶπον· Ἀεὶ πλανῶνται τῇ καρδίᾳ· αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὰς ὁδούς μου·
11 as I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.'"
ὡς ὤμοσα ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ μου· Εἰ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσίν μου.
12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;
βλέπετε, ἀδελφοί, μήποτε ἔσται ἔν τινι ὑμῶν καρδία πονηρὰ ἀπιστίας ἐν τῷ ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ζῶντος,
13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
ἀλλὰ παρακαλεῖτε ἑαυτοὺς καθʼ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν, ἄχρις οὗ τὸ Σήμερον καλεῖται, ἵνα μὴ σκληρυνθῇ ⸂τις ἐξ ὑμῶν ἀπάτῃ τῆς ἁμαρτίας·
14 For we have become partakers of Messiah, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:
μέτοχοι γὰρ ⸂τοῦ Χριστοῦ γεγόναμεν, ἐάνπερ τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆς ὑποστάσεως μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν κατάσχωμεν.
15 while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."
ἐν τῷ λέγεσθαι· Σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε, Μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὡς ἐν τῷ παραπικρασμῷ.
16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, did not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?
τίνες γὰρ ἀκούσαντες παρεπίκραναν; ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντες οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐξ Αἰγύπτου διὰ Μωϋσέως;
17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Was not it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
τίσιν δὲ προσώχθισεν τεσσεράκοντα ἔτη; οὐχὶ τοῖς ἁμαρτήσασιν, ὧν τὰ κῶλα ἔπεσεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ;
18 To whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
τίσιν δὲ ὤμοσεν μὴ εἰσελεύσεσθαι εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσιν αὐτοῦ εἰ μὴ τοῖς ἀπειθήσασιν;
19 We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
καὶ βλέπομεν ὅτι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν εἰσελθεῖν διʼ ἀπιστίαν.
