Hebera 4
1 NO ia hoi, i ka waiho ana mai o ka olelo mua no ke komo ana iloko o kona wahi maha, e ao kakou o loaa ole ia i kekahi o oukou.
Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, let us proceed with fear so that none of you may be found to have fallen short of it.
2 No ka mea, ia kakou kekahi i haiia mai ka euanelio e like me ia ia lakou; aka, o ka olelo i lohea, aole ia i hoopomaikai ia lakou, i ka hoopili ole ia me ka manaoio iloko o ka poe i lohe.
For we also have received good news just as they did. But the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united by faith with those who listened.
3 Aka hoi, o kakou ka poe manaoio ke komo iloko o kahi maha, me ia kana olelo ana, Pela hoi aui ko'u huhu i. hoohiki ai, aole lakou e komo iloko o ko'u wahi maha; oia hoi i ka pau ana o na hana mahope iho o ka hookumu ana o ke ao nei.
For we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, God has said, “As I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter my rest!’” Now God's works have been finished from the foundation of the world.
4 No ka mea, ua olelo mai ia ma kekahi wahi no ka hiku o ka la, peneia, I ka hiku o ka la i hoomaha'i ke Akua i kana mau hana a pau.
For in one place it speaks about the seventh day as follows: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”
5 Eia hoi peneia, Aole lakou e komo iloko o ko'u wahi maha.
But again, God says in the passage above: “They will not enter my rest!”
6 Oia hoi, no ke koe ana mai o ke komo ana o kekahi poe iloko o ua mea la, a o ka poe i hai mua ia'ku ai keia pono, aole lakou i komo no ka manaoio ole;
Therefore, since God's rest remains open for some to enter, and those who formerly received good news did not enter because of their disobedience,
7 Ua hoakaka hou mai ia i kekahi la, e olelo ana ma Davida, I keia la, i ka manawa mahope loa mai; ua oleloia mai peneia, I keia la i ko oukou lohe ana i kona leo, mai hoopaakiki i ko oukou naau.
he again designates a certain day, calling it “Today,” as he says through David much later, in the passage already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
8 No ka mea, ina ua hoomaha aku o Iosua ia lakou, ina aole ia i olelo hou no kekahi la okoa.
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
9 Nolaila hoi, e waiho ana no he wahi maha no na kanaka o ke Akua.
So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
10 A o ka mea hoi i komo iloko o kona wahi maha, ua hoomaha no ia i kana mau hana iho, me ke Akua la hoi i hoomaha ai i kana.
For anyone who has entered God's rest has rested from his own works, just as God rested from his.
11 No ia mea, e hooikaika nui kakou e komo iloko o ia wahi maha, i ole ai e haule kekahi mamuli o ua manaoio ole la.
Therefore let us make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience.
12 No ka mea, he ikaika, he mana hoi ko ka olelo a ke Akua, he oi nui kona mamua o ko ka pahikaua oi lua, e o ana a kaawale ke ola a me ka uhane, o na ami a me ka lolo; oia ka lunakanawai no ka noonoo a me ka naau.
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13 Aohe mea nalo i kona maka; aka, ua weheia, a ua akaka loa na mea a pau i ka maka o ka mea ia ia kakou e hai aku ai.
No creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.
14 A, no ka loaa ana ia kakou ke kahuna nui, i hala aku i na lani, o Iesu, ke Keiki a ke Akua, e hoopaa kakou i ko kakou hooiaio ana.
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.
15 No ka mea, aole ia kakou ke kahuna i aloha ole mai i ko kakou nawaliwali; aka, o kekahi i hoowalewaleia'ku i na mea a pau me kakou la i hoowalewaleia mai ai, aole hoi ona hala.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet was without sin.
16 Nolaila, e hookokoke aku kakou ma ka nohoalii aloha me ka manaolana, i alohaia mai kakou, a i loaa hoi ka lokomaikai e kokua mai ai i ka wa popilikia.
Therefore let us draw near to the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
