Hebrews 4
1 [The Israelites did not enter the place where they would rest]. But [God] has still promised us that we can enter the place of resting [in heaven eternally]. So we must beware [of the possibility] that [God] may consider that some of you have failed to enter the [place of] resting [eternally as the Israelites did not enter the place where they would rest].
Acholdona a lut ding thua Pathen kitepna tuchanin adingjing nalaiye. Hijeh a chu, nalah uva mi phabep khattou chuche thutep chu tepkhalou ding naum khahdiu kichatna a eiho kichatah le kithing puma iumdiu ahi.
2 We have heard the message [about Christ], just like [the Israelites] heard [what God promised]. But [just like] the message did not benefit [most of] those who heard it because they did not believe it as [Joshua and Caleb did, it] will not [benefit us eternally if we do not keep believing it].
Ijeh inem itileh hiche Kipana Thupha Pathen in kicholdona a asem hi-amaho koma akiphongdoh ahitah banga eiho koma jong kiphongdoh a ahitai. Hinla amahon aphatchompi pouve, ajeh chu amahon Pathen sei ngaiho tahsan chu akikoppi pouve.
3 We who have believed [in Christ] are able to enter the place of resting [eternally. We know there is a place where we will rest eternally] because God said, Because I was angry with them, I solemnly declared, “They will not enter [the land where] I would let them rest.” [God said that] even though he ceased his work [of creating things] after he created the world.
Ajeh chu eiho atahsan ho hi acholngahna a lutthei ihiuve. Hinla adangho dingin vang Pathen in, “Kalunghanna a kahahsel ahi: Amaho kacholdona a lutlouhel ding ahiuve,” ati. Hiche cholngahna hi vannoi asemlaiya pat a gotsa akoi ahivangin.
4 What someone wrote somewhere [in the Scriptures] about the seventh day [after he had spent six days creating the world], supports that: Then, on the seventh day, God rested from his work [of creating everything].
Hiche hi gotsa koi ahi ti ihetnau ajeh chu Pathen Thubu munkhat'ah ni sagi thudol hitihin akisune, “Ni sagi nin Pathen anatoh na jousea konin akicholdo tai.”
5 But note again what God said about the Israelites [in the] passage that I quoted previously: They will not enter [the land where] I would let them rest.
Hinlah munchom khatma ah Pathen in, “Amaho kacholdona muna lutlouhel dingu ahi,” ati.
6 Some people experience entering that [place of resting eternally. But] those [Israelites] who first had the good message preached to them {first heard the good message} [about what God promised them] did not enter [that place of resting], because they refused to believe [God].
Hiti chun Pathen choldona chu miho luttheina dingin aume, hinla hiche Kipana Thupha jamasaho chun Pathen sei angailou jeh uchun alut theitapouve.
7 [But God] appointed another time [when we may enter that place of resting]. That time is now! [We know that is true because] much later than when [the Israelites rebelled against God in the desert], he caused [King] David to write what I have already quoted, Now, when you understand what God is saying [to you], do not stubbornly disobey him.
Hiti chun Pathen in acholdona a luttheina dingin phat chomkhat agonpeh in, chule hiche phat chu tunihi ahi. Pathen in hiche hi David a konin khonung in anaphongdoh in, “Tunia Ama aw najah tengleh, nalung tahsah hih un,” atikit in ahi.
8 If Joshua had led the Israelites to enter the place of resting, God would not have spoken later about another [time when we could rest] [MET]. [So we know God was speaking about another time when some people would enter that place of resting eternally].
Tun Joshua chun hiche choldona hi ananeisah ahitah leh, Pathen in choldona nikhochom hung lhung nalaiding aseitahlou ding ahi.
9 So, just like [God rested on] the seventh day [after he finished making everything], there remains a time when God’s people will rest eternally.
Hijeh a chu, Pathen mite dinga choldona chombeh khat nga jing ding umnalai ahi.
10 Specifically, whoever enters God’s place of resting has ceased doing things [to gain God’s favor], just like God ceased doing his work [of creating everything].
Ijeh ham itileh Pathen in vannoi asemjouva acholdo banga chu, Pathen cholngahnaa lut ho chu atohgimnauva kona choldoa ahitauve.
11 God severely punished the [Israelites because they disbelieved his message]. So we must strive to experience entering that [place of] resting [eternally], in order that he will not severely punish any of us for not believing [his message].
Hiti ahijeh chun ijochanun chuche cholngahna a chu lutding kiseh u hite. Hinla eihon Israel mite banga Pathen sei ingailou uleh ilhuh diu ahi.
12 [Beware of being insincere about doing this], because the message God [has given us] very powerfully penetrates our thinking more than a two-edged sword [penetrates flesh] [MET]. It penetrates [deeply] into our souls and spirits, as [a sharp sword can penetrate] into our joints and marrow. That [is, by his message God] [PRS] discerns all that we think about, and he discerns all that we desire [to do] [MTY] (OR, [His message] exposes [to us] all our thoughts and all our desires).
Ijeh ham itileh Pathen Thuhi ahinga le thaneitah ahi. Hemto chemjam ahempen sanga jong hemjoa ahin, hinna le lhagao chule gukisuhtona le lhin jong sukhen thei ahi.
13 God knows everything about everyone. Everything is completely exposed [DOU] to him, [and he is] the one [SYN] who will say whether he approves of what we have done.
Thilsem jouse lah a imacha Pathena kona kiselthei aumpoi. Ijakai amitmua sagohkeo chule kihongsa ahi, chule Ama ichonnau jouse sutoh dingpa chu hiya ahi.
14 We have a great Supreme Priest who ascended through the heavens [when he returned to God’s presence]. He is Jesus, (God’s Son/the man who is also God). So let us firmly profess [what we believe about him].
Hiti chun eihon Thempu chungnung, Pathen Chapa Yeshua, van mun galut ah, chu ineiyu ahitah jeh in, Ama itahsanu hi kolchah jingu hite.
15 Our Supreme Priest can indeed [LIT] compassionately deal with us who tend to sin easily, because he also was tempted [to sin] in every way that we are [tempted to sin], and yet he did not sin.
Hiche ithempu Chungnung uhi ilhahsamnau hethem tah ahi, ajeh chu Aman eiho banga patepna jouse ato ahin, ahivangin chonselou ahiye.
16 So, let us come boldly to [Christ] [MTY], who rules [MET] [from heaven] and does for us what we do not deserve, in order that we might experience [his acting] mercifully [toward us], and in order that we might experience his helping us in a kind way whenever we need [help].
Hiti ahijeh chun eilungset uva IPathenu Laltouna a chun lung ngamtah in hungu hite. Chukoma chu eihon hepina le ingaichat khoh dehset tenguleh lungsetna panpina imu diu ahi.
