< 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].
ಅಪರಂ ತದ್ವಿಶ್ರಾಮಪ್ರಾಪ್ತೇಃ ಪ್ರತಿಜ್ಞಾ ಯದಿ ತಿಷ್ಠತಿ ತರ್ಹ್ಯಸ್ಮಾಕಂ ಕಶ್ಚಿತ್ ಚೇತ್ ತಸ್ಯಾಃ ಫಲೇನ ವಞ್ಚಿತೋ ಭವೇತ್ ವಯಮ್ ಏತಸ್ಮಾದ್ ಬಿಭೀಮಃ|
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].
ಯತೋ ಽಸ್ಮಾಕಂ ಸಮೀಪೇ ಯದ್ವತ್ ತದ್ವತ್ ತೇಷಾಂ ಸಮೀಪೇಽಪಿ ಸುಸಂವಾದಃ ಪ್ರಚಾರಿತೋ ಽಭವತ್ ಕಿನ್ತು ತೈಃ ಶ್ರುತಂ ವಾಕ್ಯಂ ತಾನ್ ಪ್ರತಿ ನಿಷ್ಫಲಮ್ ಅಭವತ್, ಯತಸ್ತೇ ಶ್ರೋತಾರೋ ವಿಶ್ವಾಸೇನ ಸಾರ್ದ್ಧಂ ತನ್ನಾಮಿಶ್ರಯನ್|
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.
ತದ್ ವಿಶ್ರಾಮಸ್ಥಾನಂ ವಿಶ್ವಾಸಿಭಿರಸ್ಮಾಭಿಃ ಪ್ರವಿಶ್ಯತೇ ಯತಸ್ತೇನೋಕ್ತಂ, "ಅಹಂ ಕೋಪಾತ್ ಶಪಥಂ ಕೃತವಾನ್ ಇಮಂ, ಪ್ರವೇಕ್ಷ್ಯತೇ ಜನೈರೇತೈ ರ್ನ ವಿಶ್ರಾಮಸ್ಥಲಂ ಮಮ| " ಕಿನ್ತು ತಸ್ಯ ಕರ್ಮ್ಮಾಣಿ ಜಗತಃ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಕಾಲಾತ್ ಸಮಾಪ್ತಾನಿ ಸನ್ತಿ|
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].
ಯತಃ ಕಸ್ಮಿಂಶ್ಚಿತ್ ಸ್ಥಾನೇ ಸಪ್ತಮಂ ದಿನಮಧಿ ತೇನೇದಮ್ ಉಕ್ತಂ, ಯಥಾ, "ಈಶ್ವರಃ ಸಪ್ತಮೇ ದಿನೇ ಸ್ವಕೃತೇಭ್ಯಃ ಸರ್ವ್ವಕರ್ಮ್ಮಭ್ಯೋ ವಿಶಶ್ರಾಮ| "
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.
ಕಿನ್ತ್ವೇತಸ್ಮಿನ್ ಸ್ಥಾನೇ ಪುನಸ್ತೇನೋಚ್ಯತೇ, ಯಥಾ, "ಪ್ರವೇಕ್ಷ್ಯತೇ ಜನೈರೇತೈ ರ್ನ ವಿಶ್ರಾಮಸ್ಥಲಂ ಮಮ| "
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].
ಫಲತಸ್ತತ್ ಸ್ಥಾನಂ ಕೈಶ್ಚಿತ್ ಪ್ರವೇಷ್ಟವ್ಯಂ ಕಿನ್ತು ಯೇ ಪುರಾ ಸುಸಂವಾದಂ ಶ್ರುತವನ್ತಸ್ತೈರವಿಶ್ವಾಸಾತ್ ತನ್ನ ಪ್ರವಿಷ್ಟಮ್,
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.
ಇತಿ ಹೇತೋಃ ಸ ಪುನರದ್ಯನಾಮಕಂ ದಿನಂ ನಿರೂಪ್ಯ ದೀರ್ಘಕಾಲೇ ಗತೇಽಪಿ ಪೂರ್ವ್ವೋಕ್ತಾಂ ವಾಚಂ ದಾಯೂದಾ ಕಥಯತಿ, ಯಥಾ, "ಅದ್ಯ ಯೂಯಂ ಕಥಾಂ ತಸ್ಯ ಯದಿ ಸಂಶ್ರೋತುಮಿಚ್ಛಥ, ತರ್ಹಿ ಮಾ ಕುರುತೇದಾನೀಂ ಕಠಿನಾನಿ ಮನಾಂಸಿ ವಃ| "
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].
ಅಪರಂ ಯಿಹೋಶೂಯೋ ಯದಿ ತಾನ್ ವ್ಯಶ್ರಾಮಯಿಷ್ಯತ್ ತರ್ಹಿ ತತಃ ಪರಮ್ ಅಪರಸ್ಯ ದಿನಸ್ಯ ವಾಗ್ ಈಶ್ವರೇಣ ನಾಕಥಯಿಷ್ಯತ|
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.
ಅತ ಈಶ್ವರಸ್ಯ ಪ್ರಜಾಭಿಃ ಕರ್ತ್ತವ್ಯ ಏಕೋ ವಿಶ್ರಾಮಸ್ತಿಷ್ಠತಿ|
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].
ಅಪರಮ್ ಈಶ್ವರೋ ಯದ್ವತ್ ಸ್ವಕೃತಕರ್ಮ್ಮಭ್ಯೋ ವಿಶಶ್ರಾಮ ತದ್ವತ್ ತಸ್ಯ ವಿಶ್ರಾಮಸ್ಥಾನಂ ಪ್ರವಿಷ್ಟೋ ಜನೋಽಪಿ ಸ್ವಕೃತಕರ್ಮ್ಮಭ್ಯೋ ವಿಶ್ರಾಮ್ಯತಿ|
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].
ಅತೋ ವಯಂ ತದ್ ವಿಶ್ರಾಮಸ್ಥಾನಂ ಪ್ರವೇಷ್ಟುಂ ಯತಾಮಹೈ, ತದವಿಶ್ವಾಸೋದಾಹರಣೇನ ಕೋಽಪಿ ನ ಪತತು|
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).
ಈಶ್ವರಸ್ಯ ವಾದೋಽಮರಃ ಪ್ರಭಾವವಿಶಿಷ್ಟಶ್ಚ ಸರ್ವ್ವಸ್ಮಾದ್ ದ್ವಿಧಾರಖಙ್ಗಾದಪಿ ತೀಕ್ಷ್ಣಃ, ಅಪರಂ ಪ್ರಾಣಾತ್ಮನೋ ರ್ಗ್ರನ್ಥಿಮಜ್ಜಯೋಶ್ಚ ಪರಿಭೇದಾಯ ವಿಚ್ಛೇದಕಾರೀ ಮನಸಶ್ಚ ಸಙ್ಕಲ್ಪಾನಾಮ್ ಅಭಿಪ್ರೇತಾನಾಞ್ಚ ವಿಚಾರಕಃ|
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.
ಅಪರಂ ಯಸ್ಯ ಸಮೀಪೇ ಸ್ವೀಯಾ ಸ್ವೀಯಾ ಕಥಾಸ್ಮಾಭಿಃ ಕಥಯಿತವ್ಯಾ ತಸ್ಯಾಗೋಚರಃ ಕೋಽಪಿ ಪ್ರಾಣೀ ನಾಸ್ತಿ ತಸ್ಯ ದೃಷ್ಟೌ ಸರ್ವ್ವಮೇವಾನಾವೃತಂ ಪ್ರಕಾಶಿತಞ್ಚಾಸ್ತೇ|
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].
ಅಪರಂ ಯ ಉಚ್ಚತಮಂ ಸ್ವರ್ಗಂ ಪ್ರವಿಷ್ಟ ಏತಾದೃಶ ಏಕೋ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿರರ್ಥತ ಈಶ್ವರಸ್ಯ ಪುತ್ರೋ ಯೀಶುರಸ್ಮಾಕಂ ಮಹಾಯಾಜಕೋಽಸ್ತಿ, ಅತೋ ಹೇತೋ ರ್ವಯಂ ಧರ್ಮ್ಮಪ್ರತಿಜ್ಞಾಂ ದೃಢಮ್ ಆಲಮ್ಬಾಮಹೈ|
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.
ಅಸ್ಮಾಕಂ ಯೋ ಮಹಾಯಾಜಕೋ ಽಸ್ತಿ ಸೋಽಸ್ಮಾಕಂ ದುಃಖೈ ರ್ದುಃಖಿತೋ ಭವಿತುಮ್ ಅಶಕ್ತೋ ನಹಿ ಕಿನ್ತು ಪಾಪಂ ವಿನಾ ಸರ್ವ್ವವಿಷಯೇ ವಯಮಿವ ಪರೀಕ್ಷಿತಃ|
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].
