Ebre 3
1 Se poutèt sa, frè m' yo, nou menm k'ap viv apa pou Bondye, nou menm Bondye te rele pou antre ansanm nan syèl la, fikse je nou sou Jezi, moun Bondye te voye pou sèvi nou granprèt nan konfyans nou genyen an.
Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus,
2 Paske li pa t' twonpe Bondye ki te chwazi l' pou travay sa a. Li fè travay li byen tankou Moyiz ki te fè tout travay li byen nan kay Bondye a.
who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house.
3 Moun ki bati yon kay resevwa plis lwanj pase kay la. Konsa tou, Jezi resevwa yon pi gwo lwanj pase Moyiz.
For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house.
4 Chak kay gen yon moun ki bati li. Men, se Bondye ki fè tout bagay.
For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.
5 Moyiz te fè travay li byen nan tout kò kay Bondye a. Li te yon senp sèvitè ki te la pou pale sou bagay Bondye tapral di pita.
Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,
6 Men, Jezikri te fè travay li tankou yon pitit Bondye te mete chèf kay li. Se nou menm ki kay Bondye a, depi nou pa janm dekouraje, depi nou pa janm pèdi konfyans, depi nou pa janm wont sa n'ap tann lan.
but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.
7 Se poutèt sa, jan Sentespri te di l' la: Si nou tande vwa Bondye jòdi a,
Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,
8 pa kenbe tèt ak li, menm jan zansèt nou yo te fè l', lè yo te chache kont ak Bondye a, tankou lè, nan dezè a, yo te vle wè jouk ki bò Bondye ye ak yo.
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
9 Lè sa a, zansèt nou yo te tante m', yo te sonde m' atout yo te deja wè tou sa m' t'ap fè depi karantan.
where your fathers tested me and tried me, and saw my deeds for forty years.
10 Se sak fè, mwen te fache sou moun sa yo. Mwen te di: Moun sa yo toujou ap fè move lide nan tèt yo. Yo derefize obeyi kòmandman m' yo.
Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they did not know my ways.’
11 Mwen te fè kòlè, mwen te fè sèman: Yo pa janm mete pye yo kote pou yo poze kò yo ansanm ak mwen an.
As I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”
12 Frè m' yo, atansyon pou okenn nan nou pa rive gen move santiman nan kè l' ki pou fè l' pèdi konfyans nan Bondye, pou lè sa a, li pa vire do bay Bondye vivan an.
Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;
13 Okontrè, chak jou, se pou nou yonn ankouraje lòt toutotan n'ap viv nan epòk Liv la rele jòdi a. Piga nou yonn kite peche detounen nou, pou lè sa a nou pa rive nan kenbe tèt ak Bondye.
but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14 Paske, nou se moun k'ap mache ansanm ak Kris la, depi nou kenbe fèm nan konfyans nou te genyen depi nan konmansman an jouk sa kaba.
For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,
15 Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Si nou tande vwa Bondye jòdi a, pa kenbe tèt ak li, tankou lè nou te chache kont ak Bondye a.
while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”
16 Kilès sa yo ki te tande vwa Bondye men ki apre sa te chache kont ak li? Se tout moun Moyiz te fè soti nan peyi Lejip la.
For who, when they heard, rebelled? Was not it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
17 Sou ki moun Bondye te fè kòlè pandan karantan an? Se sou moun ki te fè peche yo. Tout moun sa yo tonbe, yo mouri nan dezè a.
With whom was he displeased forty years? Was not it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
18 Lè Bondye te fè sèman sa a, kilès li t'ap pale? Li t'ap pale sou moun ki te chache kont ak li yo.
To whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
19 Nou wè vre, yo yonn pa t' kapab mete pye yo kote sa a, paske yo pa t' gen konfyans.
We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
