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].
Vjak, Pwknvyarnv ngonua milvvnamgo jiduku ngonua ninyigv doonu vla minkunam anga paamu dukubv vla. Vbvrikunamv, klai ngonu hinlakaala rilajuka, nonugv lokv yvv akonvka hoogv milv kunam doonu vnam anga paama nvgoka kaama dubv.
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].
Bunugv rinam apiabv, ngonuka Alvnv Yunying nga tvvpv kunv. Bunu doin ha tvvtoku, vbvritola hv bunua oguguka anyung kaama, ogulvgavbolo vdwlo bunu um tvvtokudw, bunu mvngjwng gv lvkobv torwk simato.
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.
Vbvrikunamv ngonu yvvbunudw mvngjwng dukunv, Pwknvyarnv gv milv kunam doonu nga paadu kunv. So si ninyigv vbv minambv ridu, “Ngo haachila okv milvnam go mintoku: ‘Ngoogv bunua doonu modubv mooku jinamlo bunu vdwloka aalamare!’” Nw gv nyiamooku ha pwklinyarlin rilokv ninyigv kudungkua nga rime ropv tvlaka nw sum mintoku.
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].
Darwknv kitap gv kvgonvlo so si alu kanw nvnvgv lvkwng nga mindu: “Alu kanw nvnvlo Pwknvyarnv ninyigv kudungkua mvnwngnga riku mabv doonu toku.”
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.
Lvkodv so gv gaam akin sum mindvto: “Ngoogv bunua doonu modubv jinam mookulo bunu vdwloka aanyumare.”
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].
Yvv bunu Alvnv Yunying nga tvvchonv vdwv ho doonu nama paamato, ogulvgavbolo bunu mvngjwng mato. Vbvrikunamv hokaka kvvbi vdwa um paamu namvka doodu.
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.
So si Pwknvyarnv kvvbi alu yago mvpv pvku, so si “silu” vnammv si jvjv ngv. Achialvnv anying gv kochinglo nw Dabid gvlokv mintoku Darwknv kitaplo sum lvkpvdoku: “Silu nonu Pwknvyarnv gv vlv nga tvvpa pvbolo, vlwnghapok bv riyoka.”
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].
Josua Pwknvyarnv gv milv kunam doonu vnama nyi vdwa jiro nvgoilo, Pwknvyarnv koching soka kvvbi alu gv lvkwngbv mima dvnvpvi.
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.
Pwknvyarnv alu kanw nvnvlo doonu toku vkv aingbv so si Pwknvyarnv gv nyi vdwgv lvgabv doonu go doobwng dunv.
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].
Yvv bunu Pwknvyarnv gv milv kunam doonu ha naarwksipv kunv ninyigv doonunam aingbv bunugv kudungkua lokv doonu nyadu kunv.
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].
Vbvrikunamv, klai ngonu ngonugv lvgvlvma lokv ho gv doonu nama naarwksinam lvgabv rikwlaju, vkvlvgavbolo bunugv mvngjwng manam lokv naarwk sinyu mato vkv aingbv ngonu gvlo yvv akonvka naarwk sinyu manamgo kaama dubv.
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).
Pwknvyarnv gv gamchar hv turnv okv kudungkua ridu, Riokse tagotaksak bv arik nvngaka rippu yanv. Si yalu gvla dow gv gvvkiap sikua, loobung gvla lochin gv geekiap sikua peepwk nyuladu. Si haapok gv mvngjimvngro la mvngnam ha jwngkadaka dunv.
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.
Pwknvyarnvnyi kaapa moma dubv ogugoka vvsivrum sego yikungyira kaama; pwknamyarnam mvnwngngv ninyigv nyik kaagia lo kaadatara dubv ridunv. Okv ngonu alu gunyi ngonu atuv turla singrilo ogugo ripvdopv kudw ho mvnwngnga sapkumla ninyia kaatam dukubv rirung reku.
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].
Vbvrikunamv klai ngonu ngonugv mvngjwng nama haatin yayabv rilaju. Ogulvgavbolo ngonu Kaiyachoknv Butvyachok go doodu, nw Jisu Pwknvyarnv gv Kuunyilo ngv, nw Pwknvyarnv gv dooku nvchilo vnglwkroku.
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.
Ngonugv nyibu Butvyachok angv ngonugv lvvku marinyi aya mvngpa manyunv gubv rima. Vbvmabvdv ngonua rinam apiabv ngonugv Butvyachoknyi lamtv mvnwnglo pokayarka toku, vbvritola nw rimur go rimato.
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].
Vbvrikunamv, klvi ngonu mvngjwngjwngrw laju, okv Pwknvyarnv gv doginglo aanwk laju, ogolo aya doodudw. Hoka ngonu aya nga naarwk sire okv vdwlo dinchikochi ridw ngonua ridurdubv anyuaya nga paayare.
