Προς Εβραιους 3
1 Ὅθεν, ἀδελφοὶ ἅγιοι, κλήσεως ἐπουρανίου μέτοχοι, κατανοήσατε τὸν ἀπόστολον καὶ ἀρχιερέα τῆς ὁμολογίας ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν,
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, attentively consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whom we have confessed;
2 πιστὸν ὄντα τῷ ποιήσαντι αὐτόν, ὡς καὶ Μωυσῆς ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ.
who, as well as Moses, is faithful to him that appointed him over all his house.
3 πλείονος γὰρ οὗτος δόξης παρὰ Μωυσῆν ἠξίωται, καθ᾽ ὅσον πλείονα τιμὴν ἔχει τοῦ οἴκου ὁ κατασκευάσας αὐτόν·
Indeed, he has been accounted worthy of glory, as far superior to Moses, as that of the builder is superior to the house.
4 πᾶς γὰρ οἶκος κατασκευάζεται ὑπό τινος, ὁ δὲ πάντα κατασκευάσας, θεός.
Now every house is built by some one; but he, the builder of all things, is God.
5 καὶ Μωυσῆς μὲν πιστὸς ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, ὡς θεράπων, εἰς μαρτύριον τῶν λαληθησομένων,
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 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 own house--whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence, and the rejoicing of our hope, unshaken to the end.
7 Διό, καθὼς λέγει τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, Σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε,
Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "To-day, if you will hear his voice,
8 μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν, ὡς ἐν τῷ παραπικρασμῷ, κατὰ τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ πειρασμοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ,
harden not your hearts, as in the bitter provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness;
9 οὗ ἐπείρασαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν, ἐν δοκιμασίᾳ, καὶ εἶδον τὰ ἔργα μου
where your fathers tempted me, and proved me, yet 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·
Wherefore, I was displeased with that generation, and said, They always err in heart, and they have not known my ways.
11 ὡς ὤμοσα ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ μου, Εἰ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσίν μου·
So, I swore, in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest."
12 βλέπετε, ἀδελφοί, μή ποτε ἔσται ἔν τινι ὑμῶν καρδία πονηρὰ ἀπιστίας, ἐν τῷ ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ζῶντος·
Brethren, take heed, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, by departing 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, lest any of you be hardened, through the deceitfulness of sin, exhort one another every day, while it is called To-day:
14 μέτοχοι γὰρ τοῦ χριστοῦ γεγόναμεν, ἐάν περ τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆς ὑποστάσεως μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν κατάσχωμεν·
(for we are all partakers of Christ, if, indeed, we hold fast this first confidence firm to the end; )
15 ἐν τῷ λέγεσθαι, Σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε, μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν, ὡς ἐν τῷ παραπικρασμῷ.
with this saying, "To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the bitter provocation."
16 τίνες γὰρ ἀκούσαντες παρεπίκραναν; ἀλλ᾽ οὐ πάντες οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐξ Αἰγύπτου διὰ Μωυσέως;
For some, when they heard, did bitterly provoke; yet, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 τίσιν δὲ προσώχθισεν τεσσεράκοντα ἔτη; οὐχὶ τοῖς ἁμαρτήσασιν, ὧν τὰ κῶλα ἔπεσεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ;
Was it not with them 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 should not enter into his rest, but to them who did not believe?
19 καὶ βλέπομεν ὅτι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν εἰσελθεῖν δι᾽ ἀπιστίαν.
So, we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
