< Προς Εβραιους 3 >
1 οθεν αδελφοι αγιοι κλησεως επουρανιου μετοχοι κατανοησατε τον αποστολον και αρχιερεα της ομολογιας ημων ιησουν χριστον
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,
2 πιστον οντα τω ποιησαντι αυτον ως και μωυσης εν ολω τω οικω αυτου
who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house.
3 πλειονος γαρ δοξης ουτος παρα μωυσην ηξιωται καθ οσον πλειονα τιμην εχει του οικου ο κατασκευασας αυτον
For he has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house.
4 πας γαρ οικος κατασκευαζεται υπο τινος ο δε τα παντα κατασκευασας θεος
For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things [is] God.
5 και μωυσης μεν πιστος εν ολω τω οικω αυτου ως θεραπων εις μαρτυριον των λαληθησομενων
And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after;
6 χριστος δε ως υιος επι τον οικον αυτου ου οικος εσμεν ημεις εανπερ την παρρησιαν και το καυχημα της ελπιδος μεχρι τελους βεβαιαν κατασχωμεν
but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are we, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.
7 διο καθως λεγει το πνευμα το αγιον σημερον εαν της φωνης αυτου ακουσητε
Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,
8 μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας υμων ως εν τω παραπικρασμω κατα την ημεραν του πειρασμου εν τη ερημω
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness;
9 ου επειρασαν με οι πατερες υμων εδοκιμασαν με και ειδον τα εργα μου τεσσαρακοντα ετη
where your fathers tempted [me], by proving [me], and saw my works forty years.
10 διο προσωχθισα τη γενεα εκεινη και ειπον αει πλανωνται τη καρδια αυτοι δε ουκ εγνωσαν τας οδους μου
Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and they have not known my ways;
11 ως ωμοσα εν τη οργη μου ει εισελευσονται εις την καταπαυσιν μου
so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.
12 βλεπετε αδελφοι μη ποτε εσται εν τινι υμων καρδια πονηρα απιστιας εν τω αποστηναι απο θεου ζωντος
See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from [the] living God.
13 αλλα παρακαλειτε εαυτους καθ εκαστην ημεραν αχρι ου το σημερον καλειται ινα μη σκληρυνθη εξ υμων τις απατη της αμαρτιας
But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14 μετοχοι γαρ γεγοναμεν του χριστου εανπερ την αρχην της υποστασεως μεχρι τελους βεβαιαν κατασχωμεν
For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end;
15 εν τω λεγεσθαι σημερον εαν της φωνης αυτου ακουσητε μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας υμων ως εν τω παραπικρασμω
in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;
16 τινες γαρ ακουσαντες παρεπικραναν αλλ ου παντες οι εξελθοντες εξ αιγυπτου δια μωυσεως
(for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [was it] not all who came out of Egypt by Moses?
17 τισιν δε προσωχθισεν τεσσαρακοντα ετη ουχι τοις αμαρτησασιν ων τα κωλα επεσεν εν τη ερημω
And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18 τισιν δε ωμοσεν μη εισελευσεσθαι εις την καταπαυσιν αυτου ει μη τοις απειθησασιν
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?
19 και βλεπομεν οτι ουκ ηδυνηθησαν εισελθειν δι απιστιαν
And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief; )
