Προς Εβραιους 3
1 Ὅθεν, ἀδελφοὶ ἅγιοι, κλήσεως ἐπουρανίου μέτοχοι, κατανοήσατε τὸν ἀπόστολον καὶ ἀρχιερέα τῆς ὁμολογίας ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν,
For this reason, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and Chief Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,
2 πιστὸν ὄντα τῷ ποιήσαντι αὐτόν, ὡς καὶ Μωυσῆς ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ.
being faithful to Him who appointed Him, as also Moses [was] in all His house.
3 πλείονος γὰρ οὗτος δόξης παρὰ Μωυσῆν ἠξίωται, καθ᾽ ὅσον πλείονα τιμὴν ἔχει τοῦ οἴκου ὁ κατασκευάσας αὐτόν·
For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who builds it has more honor than the house.
4 πᾶς γὰρ οἶκος κατασκευάζεται ὑπό τινος, ὁ δὲ πάντα κατασκευάσας, θεός.
For every house is built by someone, and He who built all things [is] God,
5 καὶ Μωυσῆς μὲν πιστὸς ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, ὡς θεράπων, εἰς μαρτύριον τῶν λαληθησομένων,
and Moses [was] indeed steadfast in all His house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken—
6 χριστὸς δέ, ὡς υἱὸς ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, οὗ οἶκός ἐσμεν ἡμεῖς, ἐὰν τὴν παῤῥησίαν καὶ τὸ καύχημα τῆς ἐλπίδος μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν κατάσχωμεν.
but Christ, as a Son over His house, whose house we are, if we hold fast the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope to the end.
7 Διό, καθὼς λέγει τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, Σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε,
For this reason, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you may hear His voice—
8 μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν, ὡς ἐν τῷ παραπικρασμῷ, κατὰ τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ πειρασμοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ,
you may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,
9 οὗ ἐπείρασαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν, ἐν δοκιμασίᾳ, καὶ εἶδον τὰ ἔργα μου
in which your fathers tempted Me; they proved Me, and saw My works [for] forty years;
10 τεσσεράκοντα ἔτη· διὸ προσώχθισα τῇ γενεᾷ ταύτῃ, καὶ εἶπον, Ἀεὶ πλανῶνται τῇ καρδίᾳ· αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὰς ὁδούς μου·
for this reason I was grieved with that generation and said, They always go astray in [their] heart, and these have not known My ways;
11 ὡς ὤμοσα ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ μου, Εἰ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσίν μου·
so I swore in My anger, They will [not] enter into My rest.”
12 βλέπετε, ἀδελφοί, μή ποτε ἔσται ἔν τινι ὑμῶν καρδία πονηρὰ ἀπιστίας, ἐν τῷ ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ζῶντος·
Watch out, brothers, lest there will be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,
13 ἀλλὰ παρακαλεῖτε ἑαυτοὺς καθ᾽ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν, ἄχρις οὗ τὸ σήμερον καλεῖται, ἵνα μὴ σκληρυνθῇ τις ἐξ ὑμῶν ἀπάτῃ τῆς ἁμαρτίας·
but exhort one another every day, while [it] is called “Today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin,
14 μέτοχοι γὰρ τοῦ χριστοῦ γεγόναμεν, ἐάν περ τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆς ὑποστάσεως μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν κατάσχωμεν·
for we have become partakers of the Christ, if we may hold fast the confidence [we had] at the beginning to the end,
15 ἐν τῷ λέγεσθαι, Σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε, μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν, ὡς ἐν τῷ παραπικρασμῷ.
as it is said, “Today, if you may hear His voice, you may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation.”
16 τίνες γὰρ ἀκούσαντες παρεπίκραναν; ἀλλ᾽ οὐ πάντες οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐξ Αἰγύπτου διὰ Μωυσέως;
For who [were those], having heard, [that] provoked, but not all those having come out of Egypt through Moses?
17 τίσιν δὲ προσώχθισεν τεσσεράκοντα ἔτη; οὐχὶ τοῖς ἁμαρτήσασιν, ὧν τὰ κῶλα ἔπεσεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ;
But with whom was He grieved forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 τίσιν δὲ ὤμοσεν μὴ εἰσελεύσεσθαι εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσιν αὐτοῦ, εἰ μὴ τοῖς ἀπει θήσασιν;
And to whom did He swear that they will not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe?
19 καὶ βλέπομεν ὅτι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν εἰσελθεῖν δι᾽ ἀπιστίαν.
And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
