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.
Why, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ 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.
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his 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 man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honor than the house.
4 Elabena aƒe ɖe sia ɖe la, ame aɖee tsoe, gake Mawue nye nu sia nu wɔla.
For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.
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 Moses truly was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
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.
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
7 Eya ta abe ale si Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la gblɔe ene be, “Egbe ne miese eƒe gbe la,
Why (as the Holy Ghost says, To day if you will 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, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 Afi ma mia fofowo dom kpɔ, eye wotem kpɔ le, eye wokpɔ nu si mewɔ ƒe blaene.
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works 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!’
Why I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and 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 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.
Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing 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.
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness 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 are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to 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.”
While it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the 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, when they had heard, did provoke: however, not all that came out of Egypt by 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?
But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
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?
And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 Ale míekpɔe kɔtɛe be womete ŋu ge ɖe dzudzɔƒe la me o le woƒe dzimaxɔse ta.
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
