< ヘブル人への手紙 3 >

1 されば共に天の召を蒙れる聖なる兄弟よ、我らが言ひあらはす信仰の使徒たり大 祭司たるイエスを思ひ見よ。
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,
2 彼の己を立て給ひし者に忠實なるは、モーセが神の全家に忠實なりしが如し。
who is faithful to him that appointed him, as Moses also was faithful in all his house.
3 家を造る者の家より勝りて尊ばるる如く、彼もモーセに勝りて大なる榮光を受くるに相應しき者とせられ給へり。
For this man is counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has builded the house, has more honor than the house.
4 家は凡て之を造る者あり、萬の物を造り給ひし者は神なり。
For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.
5 モーセは後に語り傳へられんと爲ることの證をせんために、僕として神の全家に忠實なりしが、
And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, to bear testimony to those things which were to be spoken afterward;
6 キリストは子として神の家を忠實に掌どり給へり。我等もし確信と希望の誇とを終まで堅く保たば、神の家なり。
but Christ, as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold the confidence and the joy of our hope firm to the end.
7 この故に聖 靈の言ひ給ふごとく『今日なんぢら神の聲を聞かば、
Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says: To-day, if you will hear his voice,
8 その怒を惹きし時のごとく、荒野の嘗試の日のごとく、こころを頑固にするなかれ。
harden not your hearts, as in the bitter provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 彼處にて汝らの先祖たちは我をこころみて驗し、かつ四十 年の間わが業を見たり。
where your fathers tried me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 この故に我この代の人を憤ほりて云へり、「彼らは常に心まよい、わが途を知らざりき」と。
Where fore, I was angry with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 われ怒をもて「彼らは、我が休に入るべからず」と誓へり』
so that I swore in my anger, They shall not enter into my rest.
12 兄弟よ、心せよ、恐らくは汝 等のうち活ける神を離れんとする不 信仰の惡しき心を懷く者あらん。
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in apostatizing from the living God.
13 汝 等のうち誰も罪の誘惑によりて頑固にならぬやう、今日と稱ふる間に日々 互に相 勸めよ。
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To-day, lest any of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14 もし始の確信を終まで堅く保たば、我らはキリストに與る者となるなり。
For we are partakers of the Christ, if we hold our begun confidence firm to the end;
15 それ『今日なんじら神の聲を聞かば、その怒を惹きし時のごとく、こころを頑固にするなかれ』と云へ。
while it is said, To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the bitter provocation.
16 然れば聞きてなほ怒を惹きし者は誰なるか、モーセによりてエジプトを出でし凡ての人にあらずや。
For some, when they had heard, did bitterly provoke; yet, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 また四十 年のあひだ、神は誰に對して憤ほり給ひしか、罪を犯してその死屍を荒野に横たへし人々にあらずや。
But with whom was he angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 又かれらは我が安息に入るべからずとは、誰に對して誓ひ給ひしか、不 從順なる者にあらずや。
But to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who believed not?
19 之によりて見れば、彼らの入ること能はざりしは、不 信仰によりてなり。
And so we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
