Ebre 4

1 Koulye a, Bondye kenbe menm pwomès sa a pou nou toujou, pou nou ka antre kote pou nou poze kò nou ansanm ak li a. Atansyon pou okenn nan nou pa pèdi chans antre nan kote sa a.

We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, anyone of you may seem to have come short,

2 Paske, yo fè nou konnen bon nouvèl la menm jan ak lòt yo. Yo menm tou yo te tande mesaj la. Men, sa pa t' sèvi yo anyen, paske lè yo te tande l' la yo pa t' resevwa l' ak konfyans nan Bondye.

for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,

3 Nou menm ki gen konfyans nan Bondye, nou pral antre kote pou nou poze kò nou ansanm ak li a. Se kote sa a li t'ap pale, lè li te di: Mwen te fè kòlè, mwen te fè sèman: Yo p'ap janm mete pye yo kote pou yo poze kò yo ansanm ak mwen an. Bondye te pale konsa, men li menm, li te fin fè travay li depi lè li t'ap kreye lemonn.

for we enter into the rest—we who believed, as He said, “So I swore in My anger, They will [not] enter into My rest”; and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,

4 Paske, men sa ki ekri yon lòt kote nan Liv la sou setyèm jou a: Setyèm jou a, Bondye poze kò l' apre li te fin fè tout travay li yo.

for He spoke in a certain place concerning the seventh [day] thus: “And God rested in the seventh day from all His works”;

5 Li tounen sou menm pawòl la ankò, lè li di: Yo p'ap janm mete pye yo kote pou yo poze kò yo ansanm ak mwen an.

and in this [place] again, “They will [not] enter into My rest”;

6 Moun ki te resevwa bon nouvèl la an premye, yo pa t' antre kote sa a paske yo pa t' mete konfyans yo nan Bondye. Konsa, gen lòt toujou ki ka antre kote sa a pou yo ka poze kò yo ansanm ak Bondye.

since then, it remains for some to enter into it, and those who first heard good news did not enter in because of unbelief—

7 Se sak fè, Bondye chwazi yon lòt jou li rele jòdi a. Li pale sou jou sa a lontan lontan apre, nan pawòl David nou jwenn nan Liv la, pawòl mwen deja di nou an: Si nou tande vwa Bondye jòdi a, pa kenbe tèt ak li.

again He limits a certain day, “Today,” in David saying, after so long a time, as it has been said, “Today, if you may hear His voice, you may not harden your hearts,”

8 Paske, si Jozye te fè pèp Izrayèl la antre nan peyi kote pou yo te poze kò yo ansanm ak Bondye a, Bondye pa ta bezwen pale apre sa sou yon lòt jou ankò.

for if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken after these things concerning another day;

9 Jan sa ye a, gen yon repo ankò pou pèp Bondye a, yon repo tankou repo Bondye te pran setyèm jou a.

there remains, then, a Sabbath rest to the people of God,

10 Paske, moun ki antre kote pou yo poze kò yo ansanm ak Bondye a, se moun ki fin fè travay yo, menm jan Bondye te poze apre li te fin fè travay li.

for he who entered into His rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.

11 Ann fè jefò pou nou tout ka antre kote sa a. Se pa pou okenn nan nou dezobeyi Bondye tankou moun sa yo ki te la anvan nou te fè l' la, pou nou pa pèdi chans antre kote sa a.

May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one may fall in the same example of the unbelief,

12 Pawòl Bondye a gen lavi, li gen pouvwa. Li pi file pase kouto de bò. Li koupe jouk li jwenn kote nanm ak lespri moun fè yonn, jouk kote vyann ak mwèl zo kontre. Li jije tout santiman ak tout lide ki nan kè moun.

for the Word of God is living, and working, and sharper—beyond every two-edged sword—and piercing as far as [the] division of soul and spirit, of joints and also marrows, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;

13 Anyen pa kapab kache pou Bondye. Tout bagay nan kreyasyon Bondye a aklè konsa devan je l', san anyen pa kouvri yo. Nou menm tou, nou gen pou nou rann li kont pou tou sa nou fè.

and there is not a created thing hidden before Him, but all things [are] naked and open to His eyes—with whom is our reckoning.

14 Ann kenbe fèm nan konfyans nou genyen an, paske nou gen Jezi, pitit Bondye a, k'ap sèvi nou yon gwo granprèt, li travèse syèl la jouk li rive devan Bondye menm.

Having, then, a great Chief Priest having passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—may we hold fast the profession,

15 Granprèt nou an, se pa yon moun ki pa kapab soufri ak nou nan feblès nou. Okontrè, nou gen yon granprèt ki te pase anba tout kalite tantasyon menm jan ak nou. Men, li pa t' janm fè okenn peche.

for we do not have a Chief Priest unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but [One] tempted in all things in like manner, [yet] without sin;

16 Se poutèt sa, ann pwoche avèk konfyans devan fotèy kote Bondye ki renmen nou an chita. Se la n'a jwenn padon pou peche nou yo, se la n'a jwenn pou gremesi sekou n'a bezwen lè nou nan nesesite.

we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace—for seasonable help.
