Hebrews 3
1 Therefore, my Christian friends, you who, all alike, have received the call from heaven, fix your attention on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our religion.
οθεν αδελφοι αγιοι κλησεως επουρανιου μετοχοι κατανοησατε τον αποστολον και αρχιερεα της ομολογιας ημων ιησουν χριστον
2 See how faithful he was to the God who appointed him, as Moses was in the whole house of God.
πιστον οντα τω ποιησαντι αυτον ως και μωυσης εν ολω τω οικω αυτου
3 He has been deemed worthy of far higher honour than Moses, just as the founder of the house is held in greater regard than the house itself.
πλειονος γαρ δοξης ουτος παρα μωυσην ηξιωται καθ οσον πλειονα τιμην εχει του οικου ο κατασκευασας αυτον
4 For every house has its founder, and the founder of the universe is God.
πας γαρ οικος κατασκευαζεται υπο τινος ο δε τα παντα κατασκευασας θεος
5 While the faithful service of Moses in the whole house of God was that of a servant, whose duty was to bear testimony to a message still to come,
και μωυσης μεν πιστος εν ολω τω οικω αυτου ως θεραπων εις μαρτυριον των λαληθησομενων
6 the faithfulness of Christ was that of a son set over the house of God. And we are his house – if only we retain, unshaken to the end, the courage and confidence inspired by our hope.
χριστος δε ως υιος επι τον οικον αυτου ου οικος εσμεν ημεις εανπερ την παρρησιαν και το καυχημα της ελπιδος μεχρι τελους βεβαιαν κατασχωμεν
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says – “If today you hear God’s voice,
διο καθως λεγει το πνευμα το αγιον σημερον εαν της φωνης αυτου ακουσητε
8 harden not your hearts, as when Israel provoked me on the day when they tried my patience in the desert,
μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας υμων ως εν τω παραπικρασμω κατα την ημεραν του πειρασμου εν τη ερημω
9 Where your ancestors tried my forbearance, and saw my mighty deeds for forty years.
ου επειρασαν με οι πατερες υμων εδοκιμασαν με και ειδον τα εργα μου τεσσαρακοντα ετη
10 Therefore I was sorely vexed with that generation, and I said – ‘Their hearts are always straying; they have never learned my ways’;
διο προσωχθισα τη γενεα εκεινη και ειπον αει πλανωνται τη καρδια αυτοι δε ουκ εγνωσαν τας οδους μου
11 While in my wrath I swore – ‘They will never enter upon my rest.’”
ως ωμοσα εν τη οργη μου ει εισελευσονται εις την καταπαυσιν μου
12 Be careful, friends, that there is never found in anyone of you a wicked and faithless heart, shown by that person separating themselves from the living God.
βλεπετε αδελφοι μηποτε εσται εν τινι υμων καρδια πονηρα απιστιας εν τω αποστηναι απο θεου ζωντος
13 Rather encourage one another daily – while there is a today – to prevent anyone among you from being hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
αλλα παρακαλειτε εαυτους καθ εκαστην ημεραν αχρις ου το σημερον καλειται ινα μη σκληρυνθη εξ υμων τις απατη της αμαρτιας
14 For we now all share in the Christ, if indeed we retain, unshaken to the end, the confidence that we had at the first.
μετοχοι γαρ γεγοναμεν του χριστου εανπερ την αρχην της υποστασεως μεχρι τελους βεβαιαν κατασχωμεν
15 To use the words of scripture – “If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your hearts, as when Israel provoked me.”
εν τω λεγεσθαι σημερον εαν της φωνης αυτου ακουσητε μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας υμων ως εν τω παραπικρασμω
16 Who were they who heard God speak and yet provoked him? Were not they all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
τινες γαρ ακουσαντες παρεπικραναν αλλ ου παντες οι εξελθοντες εξ αιγυπτου δια μωυσεως
17 And with whom was it that God was sorely vexed for forty years? Was not it with those who had sinned, and who fell dead in the desert?
τισιν δε προσωχθισεν τεσσαρακοντα ετη ουχι τοις αμαρτησασιν ων τα κωλα επεσεν εν τη ερημω
18 And who were they to whom God swore that they should not enter upon his rest, if not those who had proved faithless?
τισιν δε ωμοσεν μη εισελευσεσθαι εις την καταπαυσιν αυτου ει μη τοις απειθησασιν
19 We see, then, that they failed to enter upon it because of their want of faith.
και βλεπομεν οτι ουκ ηδυνηθησαν εισελθειν δι απιστιαν
