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’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
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 indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.
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.
For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;” although the works were finished 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.”
For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “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 in this place again, “They will 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,
Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,
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.”
he again defines a certain day, “today”, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.”
8 Paske si Josué te bay yo repo, Li pa t ap pale de yon lòt jou apre sa.
For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
9 Konsa, gen yon repo Saba ki rete pou pèp Bondye a.
There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
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 has entered into his rest has himself 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’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
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 active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions 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.
There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an 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.
Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Yeshua, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.
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 don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without 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’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.
