Hebera 3
1 NO ia mea hoi, e na hoahanau laa, ka poe i hea pu ia mai mai ka lani mai, e manao nui i ka Lunaolelo, a me ke Kahuna nui a kakou i hooiaio aku ai, o Kristo Iesu;
Therefore, my Christian friends, you who, all alike, have received the call from heaven, fix your attention on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our religion.
2 Ka mea i malama pono i kona mea nana i hoolilo mai, e like hoi me Mose iloko o kona hale a pau.
See how faithful he was to the God who appointed him, as Moses was in the whole house of God.
3 No ka mea, ua pono e hoonani nui ia aku oia mamua o Mose, e like me ka oi ana o ka mahaloia o ka mea nana i hana i ka hale mamua o ka hale.
He has been deemed worthy of far higher honor than Moses, just as the founder of the house is held in greater regard than the house itself.
4 A o kela hale keia hale a pau, ua hanaia ia e kekahi; a o ka mea nana i hana na mea a pau, o ke Akua ia.
For every house has its founder, and the founder of the universe is God.
5 A ua hoopono no o Mose iloko o kona hale a pau i kona kahu ana, no ka hoike ana i na mea e haiia ana.
While the faithful service of Moses in the whole house of God was that of a servant, whose duty was to bear testimony to a message still to come,
6 Aka, o Kristo, i konakeiki ana maluna o kona hale iho: o kakou no hoi ua hale la, ke hoopaa kakou i ka manao pono, a me ka manaolana e olioli ai i mau a hiki i ka hopena.
the faithfulness of Christ was that of a son set over the house of God. And we are his house – if only we retain, unshaken to the end, the courage and confidence inspired by our hope.
7 Nolaila, i ka olelo ana mai o ka Uhane Hemolele, I keia la, i ko oukou lohe ana i kona leo,
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says – ‘If today you hear God’s voice,
8 Mai hoopaakiki i ko oukou naau e like me ia i ka hoonaukiuki ana, i ka la i hoaoia'i ma ka nahelehele;
harden not your hearts, as when Israel provoked me on the day when they tried my patience in the desert,
9 I ka hoolawehala ana mai o ko oukou poe kupuna ia'u, a me ka hoao ana mai ia'u, i ko lakou ike ana mai i ka'u mau hana i na makahiki he kanaha.
Where your ancestors tried my forbearance, and saw my mighty deeds for forty years.
10 Nolaila, i huhu aku ai au ia hanauna, i aku la hoi au, Ua lalau mau lakou ma ka naau; aole hoi lakou i hooiaio mai i ko'u mau aoao.
Therefore I was sorely vexed with that generation, and I said – “Their hearts are always straying; they have never learned my ways”;
11 Pela hoi au i ko'u huhu ana i hoohiki aku ai, Aole lakou e komo i ko'u wahi maha.
While in my wrath I swore – “They will never enter upon my rest.”’
12 E ao hoi, e na hoahanau, o noho ka naau ino hoomaloka iloko o kekahi o oukou, i haalele ai ia i ke Akua ola.
Be careful, friends, that there is never found in anyone of you a wicked and faithless heart, shown by that person separating themselves from the living God.
13 Aka, e hooikaika mau kekahi i kekahi i ka wa i kapaia o Keia la, o hoopaakikiia kekahi o oukou ma ka hoopunipuni ana o ka hewa.
Rather encourage one another daily – while there is a today – to prevent anyone among you from being hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14 No ka mea, e loaa mai ana no o Kristo ia kakou, ke hoopaa kakou i ko kakou manao pono mua i mau a hiki i ka hopena;
For we now all share in the Christ, if indeed we retain, unshaken to the end, the confidence that we had at the first.
15 A i ka olelo ana, I keia la i ko oukou lohe ana i kona leo, mai hoopaakiki i ko oukou naau, e like me ia i ka hoonaukiuki ana.
To use the words of scripture – ‘If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your hearts, as when Israel provoked me.’
16 Owai la ka poe i lohe, alaila hoonaukiuki aku la? Aole anei o ka poe a pau i hele mai, ma o Mose la, mai Aigupita mai?
Who were they who heard God speak and yet provoked him? Were not they all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
17 Owai la hoi ka poe ana i huhu mai ai i na makahiki he kanaha? Aole anei o ka poe i hana hewa, a haule iho ko lakou mau kupapau ma ka nahelehele?
And with whom was it that God was sorely vexed for forty years? Was not it with those who had sinned, and who fell dead in the desert?
18 Ia wai la hoi kana i hoohiki ai, aole lakou e komo i kona wahi maha, ke ole ka poe i manaoio ole?
And who were they to whom God swore that they should not enter upon his rest, if not those who had proved faithless?
19 Nolaila la, ua ike kakou, aole i hiki ia lakou ke komo iloko, no ka manaoio ole.
We see, then, that they failed to enter upon it because of their want of faith.
