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.
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] 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 is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also 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 greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour 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 some one; but he who has 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.
And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after;
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, 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 Se poutèt sa, jan Sentespri te di l' la: Si nou tande vwa Bondye jòdi a,
Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye 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.
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation 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 tempted [me], by proving [me], and saw my works 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.
Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and they have not known 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.
so I swore in my wrath, If they shall 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.
See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning 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 encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none 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 are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance 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.
in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;
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 was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [was it] not all who came out of Egypt 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.
And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcases 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.
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?
19 Nou wè vre, yo yonn pa t' kapab mete pye yo kote sa a, paske yo pa t' gen konfyans.
And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief; )
