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].
Біймо ся ж оце, щоб, коли зостаєть ся обітниця ввійти в покій Його, не явив ся хто з вас опізнившись.
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].
Бо й нам благовіствовано, як і тим, тільки не було користне їм слово проповіді, не зеднавшись з вірою тих, що слухали Його.
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.
Входимо бо в відпочинок ми, що увірували, яко ж рече: "Так що покляв ся я в гніві моїм, що не ввійдуть в відпочинок мій," хоч дїла від настання сьвіту скінчені.
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].
Рече бо десь про семий день так: "І відпочив Бог дня семого від усїх дїл своїх."
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.
І в сьому (місці) знов: "Чи коли ввійдуть у відпочинок мій."
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].
Коли ж оставляєть ся, щоб деякі ввійшли в него, а котрим перше благовіствовано, не ввійшли за непослух;
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.
то знов означає якийсь день, "сьогоднї" глаголючи в Давиді, по стільких лїтах, яко ж було сказано: "Сьогоднї, як почуєте голос Ного, не закаменяйте сердець ваших."
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].
Бо коли б Ісус тих упокоїв, не говорив би про инший день після того.
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.
Оце ж оставлено ще суботованнє людям божпм.
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].
Хто бо ввійшов у відпочинок Його, той відпочив от дїл своїх, яко ж од своїх Бог.
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].
Стараймо ся ж увійти в той відпочинок, щоб хто не впав тим же робом у нсдовірство.
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).
Живе бо слово Боже і дїйственне, і гостріше всякого обоюдного меча, і проходить аж до розділення душі і духа, членів і мозків, і розсуджує помишлення і думки серця.
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.
І нема творпва невідомого перед Ним; усе ж наге і явне перед очима Його, про кого наше слово.
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].
Маючи ж Архиєрея великого, що пройшов небеса, Ісуса Сина Божого, держімось визнання.
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.
Не маємо бо архиєрея, що не міг би болїти серцем у немощах наших, а такого, що дізнав усякої спокуси по подобию, окрім гріха.
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].
Приступаймо ж з одвагою до престола благодати, щоб прийняти милость і знайти благодать на поміч зачасу.
