< Hebrews 4 >

1 We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short,
Afei, ɛsiane sɛ bɔhyɛ a ɛfa ne mu home da so wɔ hɔ enti, momma yɛnhwɛ yie na mo mu bi antɔ sini wɔ mu.
2 for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,
Ɛfiri sɛ wɔaka Asɛmpa no akyerɛ yɛn sɛdeɛ wɔka kyerɛ wɔn no. Nanso, wɔammu asɛm a wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn a wɔtiee no no annye anni.
3 for we do enter into the rest — we who did believe, as He said, 'So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest —;' and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,
Na yɛn a yɛagye adi no nko ara na yɛkɔ saa home no mu sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn aka sɛ, “Enti mefiri mʼabufuo mu ka ntam sɛ, ‘Wɔrenhyɛne asase a anka mede wɔn rekɔ mu no da.’” Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi deɛ, nanso ɛfiri ɛberɛ a ɔbɔɔ ewiase no, na wawie ɔhome dwumadie no dada.
4 for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh [day] thus: 'And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;'
Na Atwerɛsɛm no mu baabi wɔka biribi fa da a ɛtɔ so nson no ho sɛ, “Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, Onyankopɔn home firii ne nnwuma nyinaa mu.”
5 and in this [place] again, 'If they shall enter into My rest —;'
Wɔkaa saa asɛm korɔ yi ara bio sɛ, “Wɔrenhyɛne asase a anka mede wɔn rekɔ mu no da.”
6 since then, it remaineth for certain to enter into it, and those who did first hear good news entered not in because of unbelief —
Wɔn a wɔdii ɛkan tee Asɛmpa no annya saa ahome no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔannye anni. Afoforɔ bi nso wɔ hɔ a wama wɔn ɛkwan sɛ wɔnnya ahome no.
7 again He doth limit a certain day, 'To-day,' (in David saying, after so long a time, ) as it hath been said, 'To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts,'
Enti Onyankopɔn aka sɛ wayi ɛda bi ato hɔ a wɔfrɛ no “Ɛnnɛ.” Mfeɛ bebree akyi no, ɔnam Dawid so kaa wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no mu sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ, sɛ mote Onyankopɔn nne a mommpirim mo akoma.”
8 for if Joshua had given them rest, He would not concerning another day have spoken after these things;
Sɛ Yosua dii nnipa no anim de wɔn kɔɔ Onyankopɔn home mu a, anka akyire no Onyankopɔn anka da foforɔ ho asɛm.
9 there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,
Sɛdeɛ ɛte yi, ɔhome da so wɔ hɔ ma Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn homee da a ɛtɔ so nson no.
10 for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.
Obiara a ɔbɛhome wɔ Onyankopɔn mu no bɛhome afiri nʼankasa ne nnwuma mu, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn home firii ne nnwuma mu no.
11 May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall,
Enti, momma yɛmmɔ yɛn ho mmɔden na yɛatumi akɔ Onyankopɔn home mu. Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛn mu bi yɛ asoɔden sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ asoɔden a enti wɔankɔ mu no.
12 for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;
Onyankopɔn asɛm yɛ nkwa, na tumi wɔ mu. Ɛyɛ nnam sene sekan anofanu. Ɛhwire mu kɔsi sɛ ɛpaapae honhom ne ɔkra, apɔ ne ɛhon mu. Ɛda yɛn akoma mu ne yɛn adwene mu nsusuiɛ nyinaa adi.
13 and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things [are] naked and open to His eyes — with whom is our reckoning.
Biribiara nni hɔ a wɔde sie Onyankopɔn ma ɛyɛ yie. Abɔdeɛ mu biribiara da nʼanim na ɔno na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛbu yɛn ho akonta kyerɛ no.
14 Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens — Jesus the Son of God — may we hold fast the profession,
Ɛno enti, momma yɛnsɔ gyidie a yɛka ho asɛm no mu den. Ɛfiri sɛ yɛwɔ Ɔsɔfopanin kɛseɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
15 for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but [one] tempted in all things in like manner — apart from sin;
Yɛnni sɔfopanin bi a ɔntumi nhwɛ yɛn mmerɛyɛ ho nhunu yɛn mmɔbɔ. Yɛwɔ obi a wɔasɔ no ahwɛ akwan ahodoɔ nyinaa so sɛ yɛn ara, nanso wanyɛ bɔne.
16 we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace — for seasonable help.
Momma yɛnsi yɛn bo na yɛmmra Onyankopɔn ahennwa a adom wɔ mu no anim, na ɛno na ɛbɛma yɛanya ahummɔborɔ ne adom a ɛbɛboa yɛn ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu.
