< 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;
My fellow believers, [God] has set you apart and has chosen you, just like he chose me. So consider Jesus. [He is God’s] messenger to us. He is also the Supreme Priest whom we say we believe in.
2 Ka mea i malama pono i kona mea nana i hoolilo mai, e like hoi me Mose iloko o kona hale a pau.
He faithfully [served God], who appointed him, just like Moses faithfully [served] God’s people [MTY].
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.
Just like every house is made by someone {as someone makes every house}, Jesus made everything, and he is God/Divine. So God has considered that Jesus is worthy [that people honor] him more than they honor Moses, just like the one who builds a house deserves that people honor him more than they should honor the house [he built].
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.
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.
Moses very faithfully [served God as he] ([helped/cared for]) [MET] God’s people, just like a servant [faithfully serves his master]. The result was that Moses testified about what Jesus would say later.
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.
But Christ [faithfully serves God as he] ([helps/cares for]) his own people [MTY, MET], just like a [son helps/cares for his own family]. And we are God’s people [MTY] if we continue to confidently [believe in Christ] and if we continue to confidently wait for [what God will do for us].
7 Nolaila, i ka olelo ana mai o ka Uhane Hemolele, I keia la, i ko oukou lohe ana i kona leo,
The Holy Spirit [caused the Psalmist to write these words in the Scriptures to the Israelites]: Now, when you [(pl)] hear God speaking to you [MTY],
8 Mai hoopaakiki i ko oukou naau e like me ia i ka hoonaukiuki ana, i ka la i hoaoia'i ma ka nahelehele;
do not stubbornly ([disobey/refuse to] obey [him]) [IDM], [as your Jewish ancestors stubbornly disobeyed him] when they rebelled against [him] in the desert. [At that time, God said to your ancestors], “They tried to determine how many [things that displeased me they could do] in the desert [without me punishing them].
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.
Your ancestors repeatedly tested [whether I would be patient with them, even though] for 40 years they saw all the amazing things I did.
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.
So, I became disgusted with those people who saw those things, and I said [about them], ‘They are constantly disloyal to me, and they do not understand how I [wanted them] to conduct their lives.’
11 Pela hoi au i ko'u huhu ana i hoohiki aku ai, Aole lakou e komo i ko'u wahi maha.
As a result, because I was angry with them, I solemnly declared, ‘They will not enter [the land of Canaan] where I would let them rest [MTY]!’”
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.
So, my fellow believers, be careful that none of you is so evil that you stop trusting [in Christ]. That would cause you to reject God who is all-powerful.
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.
Instead, each of you must encourage each other every day, while [you still have] the opportunity [IDM], in order that none of you may stubbornly [reject God] by [letting others] deceive you (OR, as you deceive yourselves), [with the result that] you [(sg)] sin [PRS].
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;
[We must encourage one another], because we [(inc)] benefit from [all] Christ [has done] only if we firmly keep trusting [in him] from the time when we first confidently [trusted in him] until [the time when] we die [EUP].
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.
[We can do this] by paying attention to [what the Psalmist wrote in that Scripture passage in which] God said, Now, when you hear me speaking [to you(pl)] [MTY], do not stubbornly disobey me as [your ancestors stubbornly disobeyed me] when they rebelled [against 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?
([You must keep trusting in God] because you must remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard him speaking to them./Do you remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard [him speaking to them]?) [RHQ] It was people who had certainly experienced [LIT] God’s power. It was all those people whom Moses led miraculously out of Egypt. [RHQ]
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 ([you must remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40 years./do you [remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40years?) [RHQ] It was those same people who had sinned like that, and who as a result died in the desert! [RHQ]
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 ([you must remember] about whom God solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I would let them rest.”/do you [remember] about whom [God] solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I [would let them] rest”?) [RHQ] It was those Israelites who disobeyed God.
19 Nolaila la, ua ike kakou, aole i hiki ia lakou ke komo iloko, no ka manaoio ole.
So, from that example we [(inc)] realize that it was because they did not keep trusting [in God] that they were unable to enter [the land where they would rest].
