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, let us be very careful so that none of you might seem to have failed to reach the promise left behind for you to enter God's rest.
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 were told the good news just as they were. But that message did not benefit those who did not unite in faith with those who obeyed.
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, just as he said, “As I swore in my wrath, They will never enter my rest.” Even so, his works were 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 he has somewhere spoken about the seventh day: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”
5 Eia hoi peneia, Aole lakou e komo iloko o ko'u wahi maha.
And again in this same passage he said, “They will never 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, because it is still reserved for some to enter his rest, and since many Israelites who heard the good news did not enter it because of 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.
God has again set a certain day calling it “Today.” After many days, he spoke through David, as it was earlier said, “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 about another day.
9 Nolaila hoi, e waiho ana no he wahi maha no na kanaka o ke Akua.
Therefore there is still a Sabbath rest reserved for God's people.
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 he who enters into God's rest has himself also rested from his deeds, just as God did 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 be eager to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the kind of disobedience that they did.
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 and sharper than any two-edged sword. It pierces even to the division of soul from spirit, and joints from marrow. It is able to know the heart's thoughts and intentions.
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.
Nothing created is hidden before God. Instead, everything is bare and open to the eyes of the one to whom we must give 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 firmly hold to our beliefs.
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 cannot feel sympathy for our weaknesses. Instead, we have someone who has in all ways been tempted as we are, except that he is 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.
Let us then go with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
