Hebrews 3
1 Therefore, holy brothers, you share in a heavenly calling. Think about Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.
Ὅθεν, ἀδελφοὶ ἅγιοι, κλήσεως ἐπουρανίου μέτοχοι, κατανοήσατε τὸν ἀπόστολον καὶ ἀρχιερέα τῆς ὁμολογίας ἡμῶν ⸀Ἰησοῦν
2 He was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses was also faithful in God's house.
πιστὸν ὄντα τῷ ποιήσαντι αὐτὸν ὡς καὶ Μωϋσῆς ⸀ἐντῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ.
3 For Jesus has been considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, because the one who builds a house has more honor than the house itself.
πλείονος γὰρ ⸂οὗτος δόξης παρὰ Μωϋσῆν ἠξίωται καθʼ ὅσον πλείονα τιμὴν ἔχει τοῦ οἴκου ὁ κατασκευάσας αὐτόν·
4 For every house is built by someone, but the one who built everything is God.
πᾶς γὰρ οἶκος κατασκευάζεται ὑπό τινος, ὁ ⸀δὲπάντα κατασκευάσας θεός.
5 For Moses was faithful as a servant in God's entire house, bearing witness about the things that were to be spoken of in the future.
καὶ Μωϋσῆς μὲν πιστὸς ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ὡς θεράπων εἰς μαρτύριον τῶν λαληθησομένων,
6 But Christ is faithful as a Son who is in charge of God's house. We are his house if we hold fast to our courage and the hope of which we boast.
Χριστὸς δὲ ὡς υἱὸς ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ· ⸀ὃςοἶκός ἐσμεν ἡμεῖς, ⸀ἐὰντὴν παρρησίαν καὶ τὸ καύχημα τῆς ⸀ἐλπίδοςκατάσχωμεν.
7 Therefore, it is just as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice
Διό, καθὼς λέγει τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον· Σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε,
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the time of testing in the wilderness.
μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὡς ἐν τῷ παραπικρασμῷ, κατὰ τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ πειρασμοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ,
9 This was when your ancestors rebelled by testing me, and when, during forty years, they saw my deeds.
οὗ ⸀ἐπείρασανοἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν ⸂ἐν δοκιμασίᾳ καὶ εἶδον τὰ ἔργα μου
10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation. I said, 'They have always gone astray in their hearts. They have not known my ways.'
τεσσεράκοντα ἔτη· διὸ προσώχθισα τῇ γενεᾷ ⸀ταύτῃκαὶ εἶπον· Ἀεὶ πλανῶνται τῇ καρδίᾳ· αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὰς ὁδούς μου·
11 It is just as I swore in my anger: 'They will never enter my rest.'”
ὡς ὤμοσα ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ μου· Εἰ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσίν μου.
12 Be careful, brothers, so that among you there will not be anyone with an evil heart of unbelief, a heart that turns away from the living God.
βλέπετε, ἀδελφοί, μήποτε ἔσται ἔν τινι ὑμῶν καρδία πονηρὰ ἀπιστίας ἐν τῷ ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ζῶντος,
13 Instead, encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “today,” so that no one among you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
ἀλλὰ παρακαλεῖτε ἑαυτοὺς καθʼ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν, ἄχρις οὗ τὸ Σήμερον καλεῖται, ἵνα μὴ σκληρυνθῇ ⸂τις ἐξ ὑμῶν ἀπάτῃ τῆς ἁμαρτίας·
14 For we have become partners of Christ if we firmly hold to our confidence in him from the beginning to the end.
μέτοχοι γὰρ ⸂τοῦ Χριστοῦ γεγόναμεν, ἐάνπερ τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆς ὑποστάσεως μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν κατάσχωμεν.
15 About this it has been said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”
ἐν τῷ λέγεσθαι· Σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε, Μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὡς ἐν τῷ παραπικρασμῷ.
16 Who was it who heard God and rebelled? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt through Moses?
τίνες γὰρ ἀκούσαντες παρεπίκραναν; ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντες οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐξ Αἰγύπτου διὰ Μωϋσέως;
17 With whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness?
τίσιν δὲ προσώχθισεν τεσσεράκοντα ἔτη; οὐχὶ τοῖς ἁμαρτήσασιν, ὧν τὰ κῶλα ἔπεσεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ;
18 To whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, if it was not to those who disobeyed him?
τίσιν δὲ ὤμοσεν μὴ εἰσελεύσεσθαι εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσιν αὐτοῦ εἰ μὴ τοῖς ἀπειθήσασιν;
19 We see that they were not able to enter his rest because of unbelief.
καὶ βλέπομεν ὅτι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν εἰσελθεῖν διʼ ἀπιστίαν.
