Ebre 4
1 Konsa, annou toujou gen lakrent pou si, pandan yon pwomès pou antre nan repo Li a toujou rete, okenn nan nou pa ta sanble vin rate li.
Let us fear, therefore, lest while there is a firm promise of entering into his rest, any among you should be found coming short of entering.
2 Paske vrèman, bòn nouvèl la te preche a nou menm, menm jan ak yo, men pawòl yo te tande a pa t fè avantaj pou yo, paske li pa t jwenn avèk lafwa nan sila ki te tande yo a.
For to us also is the announcement, as well as to them: but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not mingled with the faith of those who heard it.
3 Paske nou menm ki te kwè yo, nou te antre nan repo sa a, jan Li te di a: “Jan Mwen te sèmante nan kòlè Mwen an, yo p ap antre nan repo Mwen”, malgre zèv Li yo fini depi nan fondasyon mond lan.
But we, who have believed, do enter into rest. But as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, that they shall not enter into my rest: for lo, the works of God existed from the foundation of the world.
4 Paske Li te di, yon kote, konsènan setyèm jou a: “Epi Bondye te repoze nan setyèm jou a de tout zèv Li yo.”
As he said of the sabbath, God rested on the seventh day from all his works.
5 E ankò nan pasaj sa a: “Yo p ap antre nan repo Mwen.”
And here again, he said, They shall not enter into my rest.
6 Konsa, paske li rete pou kèk moun antre ladann, epi sila ki, avan, te gen bòn nouvèl la preche a yo menm yo, te echwe antre ladann akoz dezobeyisans yo,
Therefore, because there was a place, whither one and another might enter; and those earlier persons, to whom the announcement was made, entered not, because they believed not:
7 Li ankò fikse yon sèten jou, “Jodi a”, e sa te ankò di atravè David apre anpil tan menm jan ke Li te di avan an: “Jodi a, si nou tande vwa Li, pa andisi kè nou.”
again he established another day, a long time afterwards; as above written, that David said, Today, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 Paske si Josué te bay yo repo, Li pa t ap pale de yon lòt jou apre sa.
For if Joshua, the son of Nun, had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterwards of another day.
9 Konsa, gen yon repo Saba ki rete pou pèp Bondye a.
Therefore it is established, that the people of God are to have a sabbath.
10 Paske sila ki te antre nan repo Li a, li menm tou, te repoze de zèv li yo, jan Bondye te fè pou zèv pa Li yo.
For he who had entered into his rest, hath also rested from his works, as God did from his.
11 Konsa, annou fè dilijans pou antre nan repo sila a, pou okenn moun pa tonbe, nan swiv menm egzanp dezobeyisans lan.
Let us, therefore, strive to enter into that rest; lest we fall short, after the manner of them who believed not.
12 Paske pawòl Bondye a vivan, aktif, li pi file pase yon nepe ki koupe de bò. Li penetre rive jis lè l divize nanm nan ak lespri a, menm jwenn zo ak mwèl, e li kapab jije panse ak lentansyon a kè yo.
For the word of God is living, and all-efficient, and sharper than a two-edged sword, and entereth even to the severance of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints and the marrow and the bones, and judgeth the thoughts and reasonings of the heart:
13 Nanpwen kreyati ki kache devan zye Li, men tout bagay ouvri nèt e parèt toutouni devan zye a Sila ke nou oblije ran kont.
neither is there any creature, which is concealed from before him; but every thing is naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom we are to give account.
14 Konsa, paske nou gen yon si tèlman wo prèt ki te travèse nan tout syèl yo, Jésus, Fis a Bondye a, annou kenbe fèm nan lafwa ke nou konfese a.
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, Jesus the Messiah, the son of God, who hath ascended to heaven; let us persevere in professing him.
15 Paske nou pa gen yon wo prèt ki pa gen senpati ak feblès nou yo, men youn ki te tante nan tout bagay tankou nou menm, men san peche.
For we have not a high priest, who cannot sympathize with our infirmity; but one who was tempted in all respects like us, aside from sin.
16 Konsa, annou rapwoche nou ak konfyans a twòn lagras la, pou nou kapab resevwa mizerikòd e twouve gras pou ede nou nan moman bezwen nou yo.
Let us, therefore, approach with assurance to the throne of his grace, that we may obtain mercy, and may find grace for assistance in the time of affliction.
