1 E'ina hu'negu manifruhu kumapi ufregahaze huno huvempama hu'nea knama me'nesire, mago'tamimo'ma ana manifru hu kumapima uofre'zankura, kore nehutma kva hiho.
[The Israelites did not enter the place where they would rest]. But [God] has still promised us that we can enter the place of resting [in heaven eternally]. So we must beware [of the possibility] that [God] may consider that some of you have failed to enter the [place of] resting [eternally as the Israelites did not enter the place where they would rest].
2 Na'ankure koma Israeli vahe'tema Knare Musenkema huama hige'za antahi'nazaza hu'za huama hazageta nentahune. Hianagi anankema antahi'naza kemo'a zamaza osu'ne, na'ankure zamagra ana Knare Musenkerera zamentintia osu'nazageno'e.
We have heard the message [about Christ], just like [the Israelites] heard [what God promised]. But [just like] the message did not benefit [most of] those who heard it because they did not believe it as [Joshua and Caleb did, it] will not [benefit us eternally if we do not keep believing it].
3 Na'ankure Anumzamo'ma hu'nea kante anteta tamentinti nehumotage manifruhu kumapina ufregahune. Esera ama mopama tro'ma hiregati mani fru hu kumara ko trohu vagareneankino, zmentitima nosaza nagakura Anumzamo huno, Nagra Narimpa henezmate'na huvempa kenia huama nehuanki'za, zamagra tamage hu'za manifru kuma niafina uofregosaze.
We who have believed [in Christ] are able to enter the place of resting [eternally. We know there is a place where we will rest eternally] because God said, Because I was angry with them, I solemnly declared, “They will not enter [the land where] I would let them rest.” [God said that] even though he ceased his work [of creating things] after he created the world.
4 Na'ankure avontafepina 7ni knazupa manifru huzankura anage hu'ne, Anumzamo'a 7ni knazupa eri'zana atreno manifru nehie hu'ne. (Jen-Agf 2:2)
What someone wrote somewhere [in the Scriptures] about the seventh day [after he had spent six days creating the world], supports that: Then, on the seventh day, God rested from his work [of creating everything].
5 Hianagi mago'ane ama nanekefina huno, Zamagra manifruhu kumanifina uofregahaze hu'ne.
But note again what God said about the Israelites [in the] passage that I quoted previously: They will not enter [the land where] I would let them rest.
6 E'ina hu'negu manifru kumapima ufre'zamo'a ko me'neanagi, ese'ma Knare Musenkema huama hige'za antahi'namo'za uofre'nazana, na'ankure zamagra ke'ama amagema onte'nazazamo hige'za uofre'naze.
Some people experience entering that [place of resting eternally. But] those [Israelites] who first had the good message preached to them {first heard the good message} [about what God promised them] did not enter [that place of resting], because they refused to believe [God].
7 Hu'negu Anumzamo'a manifruhu kumapima ufrezankura rugna huhamprintene, e'i ana kna meninku Deviti ko hu'nea ke huno avontafepina hu'ne. Hagi menina Anumzamona kema nehanigeta nentahisuta, tamagu'a kafana eri onkiho hu'ne.
[But God] appointed another time [when we may enter that place of resting]. That time is now! [We know that is true because] much later than when [the Israelites rebelled against God in the desert], he caused [King] David to write what I have already quoted, Now, when you understand what God is saying [to you], do not stubbornly disobey him.
8 Hu'negu Josua'ma manifruhu kuma'ma zamineresina, Anumzamo'a ru manifruhu knagura mago'ane kea osiresine.
If Joshua had led the Israelites to enter the place of resting, God would not have spoken later about another [time when we could rest] [MET]. [So we know God was speaking about another time when some people would enter that place of resting eternally].
9 Hu'negu Anumzamo'ma eri'zama erivagareteno mani fru hu'neaza huno, mani fruhuzamo'a, Agri vahera zahufa zmavega ante'ne.
So, just like [God rested on] the seventh day [after he finished making everything], there remains a time when God’s people will rest eternally.
10 Hu'negu iza'o Anumzamofo manifru zampima ufre'nakuma hanimo'a, Aumzamoma ama mopama trohu vaga reteno manifru hu'neaza hu'za, erizazmi eri vagarete'za manifru hugahaze.
Specifically, whoever enters God’s place of resting has ceased doing things [to gain God’s favor], just like God ceased doing his work [of creating everything].
11 E'ina hu'negu manifruhu kumapima ufre'zankura hankavenetita, ke ontahi vahe'mo'za ke runetrage'za fanane hunazankna huzankura kva hanune.
God severely punished the [Israelites because they disbelieved his message]. So we must strive to experience entering that [place of] resting [eternally], in order that he will not severely punish any of us for not believing [his message].
12 Na'ankure Anumzamofo kemo'a kasefa huno me'neno, eri'za enerino, tarega kaziga asanenea kazimofo asenezama'a agatereno, kantu tagu tamemofone, avamutifine ufreno tagahu rurerure nehuno, kantu tagrunamo hagerafi'nefine, zaferinamofo asinu'afi ufreno taga nehuno, tavutavazane tagutagesamofo avesizana refko nehie.
[Beware of being insincere about doing this], because the message God [has given us] very powerfully penetrates our thinking more than a two-edged sword [penetrates flesh] [MET]. It penetrates [deeply] into our souls and spirits, as [a sharp sword can penetrate] into our joints and marrow. That [is, by his message God] [PRS] discerns all that we think about, and he discerns all that we desire [to do] [MTY] (OR, [His message] exposes [to us] all our thoughts and all our desires).
13 Mago'zamo'e huno Anumzamofo avurera, Agrama tro'ma hunte'nea zantamimo'a fraokigosie. Hianagi refkoma hanimofo avurera, ana maka'zamo'a amateke'za nehanigeta, tagranena tamage kege asamigahune.
God knows everything about everyone. Everything is completely exposed [DOU] to him, [and he is] the one [SYN] who will say whether he approves of what we have done.
14 E'ina hu'negu tagrira mareri ageteresa pristi nera monafinka ufrenemofonte, Anumzamofo Ne' Mofavre Jisasinte tamentintia azeri hankavetisune.
We have a great Supreme Priest who ascended through the heavens [when he returned to God’s presence]. He is Jesus, (God’s Son/the man who is also God). So let us firmly profess [what we believe about him].
15 Hu'negu tagrima antahineramino, asunku'ma hurantega ugota pristi ne'tia mani'ne. Na'ankure miko tagrama unefrona rehe'zampina Agranena ufreneanagi, kumira osu'ne.
Our Supreme Priest can indeed [LIT] compassionately deal with us who tend to sin easily, because he also was tempted [to sin] in every way that we are [tempted to sin], and yet he did not sin.
16 Hu'negu korera osu hanavetita asunku Anumzamofo tramofo avuga ne-eta, asunkuzane avesirantezanena, atupama hanuna knafina erinunkeno taza hugahie.
So, let us come boldly to [Christ] [MTY], who rules [MET] [from heaven] and does for us what we do not deserve, in order that we might experience [his acting] mercifully [toward us], and in order that we might experience his helping us in a kind way whenever we need [help].
