Hebreos 4

1 Rumal kꞌu riꞌ, qas qila na ri kaqabꞌano, rumal cher pune yaꞌtal na bꞌe chaqe kujok pa ri uxlanem, kꞌo bꞌa jun mat koꞌk kanoq.

Therefore let us be on our guard lest perhaps, while He still leaves us a promise of being admitted to His rest, some one of you should be found to have fallen short of it.

2 Rumal cher chaqe uj xtzijox wi ri utz laj tzij ri xtzijox chike aꞌreꞌ, pune jeriꞌ man kꞌo ta xutayij ri tzij chike ri xkitatabꞌej, rumal cher man xkikoj ta ri xbꞌix chike.

For Good News has been brought to us as truly as to them; but the message they heard failed to benefit them, because they were not one in faith with those who gave heed to it.

3 Are kꞌu ri uj ri xujkojonik che ri utz laj tzij, xujokik pa ri uxlanem, are kꞌu ri man xkikoj taj ri xbꞌix chike xubꞌij: Xaq jeriꞌ rukꞌ woyawal xinbꞌij chi man koꞌk ta wi pa ri wuxlanem. Jewaꞌ xubꞌij ri Dios rumal xnaꞌtaj che are xtoꞌtajik chubꞌanik ri uchak are xutik ronojel ri uwachulew.

We who have believed are soon to be admitted to the true rest; as He has said, "As I swore in My anger, they shall not be admitted to My rest," although God's works had been going on ever since the creation of the world.

4 Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik katzijon chirij ri wuq qꞌij kubꞌij: Pa ri wuq qꞌij xuxlan ri Dios che ronojel ri uchak.

For, as we know, when speaking of the seventh day He has used the words, "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works;"

5 Xuqujeꞌ junmul chik pa ri tzꞌibꞌatalik riꞌ kubꞌij: Man kekwin taj koꞌk pa ri wuxlanem.

and He has also declared, "They shall not be admitted to My rest."

6 Pune jeriꞌ e kꞌo na jujun ri majaꞌ koꞌk pa ri uxlanem, are waꞌ ri xetow nabꞌe ri utz laj tzij, xa kꞌu rumal man xeniman taj rumal riꞌ man xoꞌk taj pa ri uxlanem.

Since, then, it is still true that some will be admitted to that rest, and that because of disobedience those who formerly had Good News proclaimed to them were not admitted,

7 Rumal riꞌ kuya chi na jun qꞌij, are ri qꞌij kamik, jeriꞌ, rumal kꞌu riꞌ are ikꞌowinaq chik sibꞌalaj kꞌi junabꞌ, ri David xubꞌij: We kita ri uchꞌabꞌal ri Dios kamik, makibꞌan ta bꞌa ko che ri iwanimaꞌ.

He again definitely mentions a certain day, "To-day," saying long afterwards, by David's lips, in the words already quoted, "To-day, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts."

8 Ri Josué we ta xuya ri uxlanem chike, mat xtzijon ri Dios riꞌ chirij jun qꞌijal chik.

For if Joshua had given them the true rest, we should not afterwards hear God speaking of another still future day.

9 Rumal riꞌ kꞌa kꞌo na jun uxlanem chike ri utinimit ri Dios.

It follows that there still remains a sabbath rest for the people of God.

10 Xapachin kꞌu ri kok pa ri uxlanem, kuxlan riꞌ che ri uchak, jetaq ri xubꞌan ri Dios, xuxlanik are xtoꞌtaj che ri uchak.

For He who has been admitted to His rest, has rested from His works as God did from His.

11 Qakojo bꞌa qachuqꞌabꞌ rech kujok pa ri uxlanem riꞌ, rech jeriꞌ man kꞌo ta jun are kuꞌtereneꞌj ri man xeniman taj.

Let it then be our earnest endeavour to be admitted to that rest, so that no one may perish through following the same example of unbelief.

12 Qas tzij wi ri utzij ri Dios kꞌaslik xuqujeꞌ kꞌo ukwinem, kꞌo na cho ri chꞌichꞌ ri kebꞌ upuꞌchiꞌ are kasakꞌinik. Kok bꞌik kꞌa pa ri ukꞌuꞌx ri animaꞌaj, ri uxlabꞌal xuqujeꞌ kꞌa chupam ri ubꞌaqil ri winaq, xuqujeꞌ kuqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri chomabꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri urayinik ri animaꞌaj.

For God's Message is full of life and power, and is keener than the sharpest two-edged sword. It pierces even to the severance of soul from spirit, and penetrates between the joints and the marrow, and it can discern the secret thoughts and purposes of the heart.

13 Man kꞌo ta jun jastaq che ri tiktalik kakwinik karawaj ribꞌ cho ri Dios. Ronojel ri jastaq qꞌalaj cho ri kilow ronojel, cho areꞌ kaqaya wi na kwenta che ronojel.

And no created thing is able to escape its scrutiny; but everything lies bare and completely exposed before the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

14 Rumal bꞌa che ri yaꞌtal chaqe jun kinimal ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios ri xok bꞌik pa ri kaj, ri Jesús ukꞌojol ri Dios, chujjeqel bꞌa pa ri qakojobꞌal.

Inasmuch, then, as we have in Jesus, the Son of God, a great High Priest who has passed into Heaven itself, let us hold firmly to our profession of faith.

15 Rumal cher man kꞌo ta jun chꞌawenel cho ri Dios pa qawiꞌ ri mat karilo xuqujeꞌ kuchomaj chi kujtaqchiꞌx pa mak, rumal cher jeriꞌ xbꞌan che Areꞌ xwi che ri Areꞌ maj wi mak xubꞌano.

For we have not a High Priest who is unable to feel for us in our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in every respect just as we are tempted, and yet did not sin.

16 Xaq jeriꞌ chujqebꞌ bꞌa rukꞌ ri Dios rukꞌ kꞌulibꞌal kꞌuꞌx are kꞌo qarajawaxik rech jeriꞌ kaqakꞌamawaꞌj ri utoqꞌobꞌ rech kujutoꞌo pa ri qꞌotaj ri qas kajawataj chaqe.

Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our times of need.
