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, attentively consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whom we have confessed;
2 πιστον οντα τω ποιησαντι αυτον ως και μωυσης εν ολω τω οικω αυτου
who, as well as Moses, is faithful to him that appointed him over all his house.
3 πλειονος γαρ δοξης ουτος παρα μωυσην ηξιωται καθ οσον πλειονα τιμην εχει του οικου ο κατασκευασας αυτον
Indeed, he has been accounted worthy of glory, as far superior to Moses, as that of the builder is superior to the house.
4 πας γαρ οικος κατασκευαζεται υπο τινος ο δε τα παντα κατασκευασας θεος
Now every house is built by some one; but he, the builder of all things, is God.
5 και μωυσης μεν πιστος εν ολω τω οικω αυτου ως θεραπων εις μαρτυριον των λαληθησομενων
And Moses, indeed, as a servant, was faithful in all his house, for a testimony of the things that were to be spoken by him;
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 a Son, over his own house--whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence, and the rejoicing of our hope, unshaken to the end.
7 διο καθως λεγει το πνευμα το αγιον σημερον εαν της φωνης αυτου ακουσητε
Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "To-day, if you 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 bitter 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, and proved me, yet saw my works for forty years.
10 διο προσωχθισα τη γενεα εκεινη και ειπον αει πλανωνται τη καρδια αυτοι δε ουκ εγνωσαν τας οδους μου
Wherefore, I was displeased with that 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, They shall not enter into my rest."
12 βλεπετε αδελφοι μη ποτε εσται εν τινι υμων καρδια πονηρα απιστιας εν τω αποστηναι απο θεου ζωντος
Brethren, take heed, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, by departing 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, lest any of you be hardened, through the deceitfulness of sin, exhort one another every day, while it is called To-day:
14 μετοχοι γαρ γεγοναμεν του χριστου εανπερ την αρχην της υποστασεως μεχρι τελους βεβαιαν κατασχωμεν
(for we are all partakers of Christ, if, indeed, we hold fast this first confidence firm to the end; )
15 εν τω λεγεσθαι σημερον εαν της φωνης αυτου ακουσητε μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας υμων ως εν τω παραπικρασμω
with this saying, "To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the bitter provocation."
16 τινες γαρ ακουσαντες παρεπικραναν αλλ ου παντες οι εξελθοντες εξ αιγυπτου δια μωυσεως
For some, when they heard, did bitterly provoke; yet, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 τισιν δε προσωχθισεν τεσσαρακοντα ετη ουχι τοις αμαρτησασιν ων τα κωλα επεσεν εν τη ερημω
Was it not with them who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 τισιν δε ωμοσεν μη εισελευσεσθαι εις την καταπαυσιν αυτου ει μη τοις απειθησασιν
And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest, but to them who did not believe?
19 και βλεπομεν οτι ουκ ηδυνηθησαν εισελθειν δι απιστιαν
So, we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
