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 vocation, 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 made him, as was also Moses 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 this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house, hath greater 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 man: but he that created 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 servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:
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 the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.
7 Se poutèt sa, jan Sentespri te di l' la: Si nou tande vwa Bondye jòdi a,
Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: Today if you shall 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 desert,
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, proved and saw my works,
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.
Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I 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.
As I have sworn 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.
Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart 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 every day, whilst it is called today, that none of you be hardened through 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 made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto 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 shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that 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 some who heard did provoke: but not all that 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 offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?
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 did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?
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, because of unbelief.
