Hebritɔwo 3
1 Eya ta nɔvinye kɔkɔewo, ame siwo kpɔ gome le dziƒo ƒe yɔyɔ la me, mida miaƒe susuwo ɖe Yesu, apostolo kple nunɔlagã, ame si me mieʋu la dzi.
Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus.
2 Ewɔ nuteƒe na Mawu, ame si tiae abe ale si Mose hã wɔ nuteƒe le nuwo katã me le Mawu ƒe aƒe me la ene.
He is faithful to the One who made him, just as Moses also was, with his entire house.
3 Abe ale si ame si tso aƒe nyui aɖe xɔa kafukafu wu aƒe si wòtso ene la, nenema kee Yesu hã dze na bubu wu Mose.
For this Jesus was considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, so much so that the house which he has built holds a greater honor than the former one.
4 Elabena aƒe ɖe sia ɖe la, ame aɖee tsoe, gake Mawue nye nu sia nu wɔla.
For every house is built by someone, but God is the One who has created all things.
5 Mose nye dɔla nuteƒewɔla le nuwo katã me le Mawu ƒe aƒe me, nu sia ɖi ɖase le nu si Mawu ava gblɔ emegbe la ŋuti.
And certainly Moses was faithful, with his entire house, like any servant, as a testimony to those things that would soon be said.
6 Ke Kristo nye viŋutsu nuteƒewɔla ɖe Mawu ƒe aƒe dzi, eye miawoe nye Mawu ƒe aƒe la, ne mielé dzideƒo kple mɔkpɔkpɔ si me míeƒoa adegbe le la me ɖe asi.
Yet truly, Christ is like a Son in his own house. We are that house, if we firmly retain the faithfulness and the glory of hope, even unto the end.
7 Eya ta abe ale si Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la gblɔe ene be, “Egbe ne miese eƒe gbe la,
Because of this, it is just as the Holy Spirit says: “If today you hear his voice,
8 migasẽ miaƒe dziwo me abe ale si miewɔ le miaƒe aglãdzedze me, le ɣeyiɣi si me mieto dodokpɔ me le gbedadaƒo la ene o.
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, the very day of temptation, in the desert,
9 Afi ma mia fofowo dom kpɔ, eye wotem kpɔ le, eye wokpɔ nu si mewɔ ƒe blaene.
where your fathers tested me, even though they had seen and examined my works for forty years.
10 Eya ta medo dziku ɖe dzidzime ma ŋu, eye megblɔ be, ‘Woƒe dziwo tra mɔ ɣe sia ɣi, eye womenya nye mɔwo o!’
For this reason, I was enraged against this generation, and I said: They always wander astray in heart. For they have not known my ways.
11 Eya ta le nye dziku me la, meka atam gblɔ be, ‘Womage ɖe nye dzudzɔƒe la me gbeɖe o.’”
So it is as I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest!”
12 Nɔvinyewo, mikpɔ egbɔ be dzi si me nu vɔ̃ le kple dzi maxɔse si trɔna le Mawu gbagbe la yome la naganɔ mia dometɔ aɖeke si o.
Be cautious, brothers, lest perhaps there may be, in any of you, an evil heart of unbelief, turning aside from the living God.
13 Ke mide dzi ƒo na mia nɔewo gbe sia gbe, zi ale si ɣeyiɣi li, ale be mia dometɔ aɖeke ƒe dzi maku atri to nu vɔ̃ ƒe beble me o.
Instead, exhort one another every day, while it is still called ‘today,’ so that none of you may become hardened through the falseness of sin.
14 Ɖe míeva be míakpɔ gome le Kristo me, nenye be míelé dzideƒo si le mía si le gɔmedzedzea me la me ɖe asi sesĩe ko.
For we have been made participants in Christ. This is only so, if we firmly retain the beginning of his substance, even unto the end.
15 Abe ale si mawunya gblɔe do ŋgɔ fifia ene be, “Egbe ne miese eƒe gbe la, migasẽ miaƒe dziwo me abe ale si miewɔ le miaƒe aglãdzedze la me ene o.”
For it has been said: “If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, in the same manner as in the former provocation.”
16 Ame kawoe nye ame siwo se nya la, eye wodze aglã? Ɖe menye woawoe nye ame siwo katã Mose kplɔ do goe tso Egipte lae oa?
For some of those listening did provoke him. But not all of these had set forth from Egypt through Moses.
17 Eye ame kawo ŋue wòdo dziku ɖo hena ƒe blaene sɔŋ? Ɖe menye ame siwo wɔ nu vɔ̃, eye woƒe ŋutilã kukuwo tsi gbea dzi lae oa?
So against whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not those who had sinned, whose dead bodies lay prostrate in the desert?
18 Eye ame kawoe Mawu ka atam na be womage ɖe yeƒe dzudzɔƒe la me gbeɖe o, ne menye ame siwo sẽ to lae oa?
But to whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, except to those who were incredulous?
19 Ale míekpɔe kɔtɛe be womete ŋu ge ɖe dzudzɔƒe la me o le woƒe dzimaxɔse ta.
And so, we perceive that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
