Hebrew 3
1 Mwet Christian wiuk, su pangonyuk pac sin God! Kowos in nunku ke Jesus, su God El supwama tuh in Mwet Tol Fulat ke lulalfongi se ma kut fahkak kac.
Therefore, my Christian friends, you who, all alike, have received the call from heaven, fix your attention on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our religion.
2 El tuh oaru in oru ma kunal nu sin God, su tuh sulella in oru orekma se inge, oana ke Moses el tuh oaru in oru orekma kunal in lohm sin God.
See how faithful he was to the God who appointed him, as Moses was in the whole house of God.
3 Sie mwet musa lohm el akfulatyeyuk yohk liki lohm sac. In ouiya se pacna inge, fal in akfulatyeyuk Jesus yohk lukel Moses.
He has been deemed worthy of far higher honour than Moses, just as the founder of the house is held in greater regard than the house itself.
4 Aok pwaye lah lohm nukewa musaiyuk sin mwet — ac God pa musaela ma nukewa.
For every house has its founder, and the founder of the universe is God.
5 Moses el tuh sie mwet kulansap oaru in lohm sin God, ac el tuh kaskaskin ma su God El ac mau fahk in pacl fahsru uh.
While the faithful service of Moses in the whole house of God was that of a servant, whose duty was to bear testimony to a message still to come,
6 A Christ El oaru oana ke el pa Wen, su leum fin lohm sin God. Kut pa lohm sel kut fin sruokyana ku pulaik lasr ac lulalfongi lasr ke ma kut finsrak nu kac.
the faithfulness of Christ was that of a son set over the house of God. And we are his house – if only we retain, unshaken to the end, the courage and confidence inspired by our hope.
7 Ke ma inge, in oana ke Ngun Mutal el fahk, “Kowos fin lohng pusren God misenge,
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says – “If today you hear God’s voice,
8 Kowos in tia akupaye insiowos, oana mwet matu lowos elos tuh oru ke elos forla lain God, Oana ke elos tuh oru ke len se elos tuh srikal yen mwesis.
harden not your hearts, as when Israel provoked me on the day when they tried my patience in the desert,
9 Ac God El fahk, In acn mwesis uh elos tuh srikeyu, Elos ne liye ma nga oru nu selos ke yac angngaul.
Where your ancestors tried my forbearance, and saw my mighty deeds for forty years.
10 Ouinge nga tuh arulana toasr sin mwet ingo ac sifacna fahk, ‘Pacl nukewa elos likkeke, Ac srangesr akos ma sap luk!’
Therefore I was sorely vexed with that generation, and I said – ‘Their hearts are always straying; they have never learned my ways’;
11 Nga tuh kasrkusrak selos ac orala wulela na ku luk: ‘Elos ac fah tiana utyak nu in facl se ma nga akoo in sang mongla nu selos we!’”
While in my wrath I swore – ‘They will never enter upon my rest.’”
12 Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, kowos in arulana liyaung tuh in tia oasr sie inmasrlowos su inse koluk ac selulalfongi, pwanang el forla liki God moul.
Be careful, friends, that there is never found in anyone of you a wicked and faithless heart, shown by that person separating themselves from the living God.
13 In tia ouinge, a ke lusen na pacl ma kas se inge “Misenge,” su oan in Ma Simusla, ma nu sesr — na kowos in kasru sie sin sie len nukewa, tuh in wangin sie suwos kiapeyukla ke ma koluk ac ekla sie mwet likkeke.
Rather encourage one another daily – while there is a today – to prevent anyone among you from being hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14 Lulalfongi lasr tuh arulana ku ke kut tufahna mutawauk in eis Christ. Lela kut in sruokya ku lulalfongi se inge nu ke safla, na kut fah ku in mwet ipeis pwaye yurin Christ.
For we now all share in the Christ, if indeed we retain, unshaken to the end, the confidence that we had at the first.
15 Pa inge ma fahk in Ma Simusla uh: “Kowos fin lohng pusren God misenge, Kowos in tia akupaye insiowos, oana mwet matu lowos elos tuh oru Ke elos forla lain God.”
To use the words of scripture – “If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your hearts, as when Israel provoked me.”
16 Su mwet ma tuh lohng pusren God ac forla lainul ah? Elos pa mwet nukewa su Moses el tuh kolla liki acn Egypt.
Who were they who heard God speak and yet provoked him? Were not they all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
17 Ac su God El tuh kasrkusrak se ke yac angngaul ah? Elos su orekma koluk, su putatla ac misa in acn mwesis ah.
And with whom was it that God was sorely vexed for forty years? Was not it with those who had sinned, and who fell dead in the desert?
18 Ke God El tuh orala wulela ku se lal ma fahk mu, “Elos ac fah tiana utyak nu in facl se ma nga akoo in sang mongla nu selos we” — su El tuh kaskas kac inge? Kaclos su forla lainul.
And who were they to whom God swore that they should not enter upon his rest, if not those who had proved faithless?
19 Ke ma inge kut liye lah elos tuh tia ku in utyak nu in facl sac mweyen elos tuh tia lulalfongi.
We see, then, that they failed to enter upon it because of their want of faith.
