Hebræos 4
1 Timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introëundi in requiem ejus, existimetur aliquis ex vobis deesse.
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 Etenim et nobis nuntiatum est, quemadmodum et illis: sed non profuit illis sermo auditus, non admistus fidei ex iis quæ audierunt.
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 Ingrediemur enim in requiem, qui credidimus: quemadmodum dixit: Sicut juravi in ira mea: Si introibunt in requiem meam: et quidem operibus ab institutione mundi perfectis.
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 Dixit enim in quodam loco de die septima sic: Et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis.
For he has somewhere spoken about the seventh day: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”
5 Et in isto rursum: Si introibunt in requiem meam.
And again in this same passage he said, “They will never enter my rest.”
6 Quoniam ergo superest introire quosdam in illam, et ii, quibus prioribus annuntiatum est, non introierunt propter incredulitatem:
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 iterum terminat diem quemdam, Hodie, in David dicendo, post tantum temporis, sicut supra dictum est: Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra.
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 Nam si eis Jesus requiem præstitisset, numquam de alia loqueretur, posthac, die.
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken about another day.
9 Itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei.
Therefore there is still a Sabbath rest reserved for God's people.
10 Qui enim ingressus est in requiem ejus, etiam ipse requievit ab operibus suis, sicut a suis Deus.
For he who enters into God's rest has himself also rested from his deeds, just as God did from his.
11 Festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem: ut ne in idipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum.
Therefore let us be eager to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the kind of disobedience that they did.
12 Vivus est enim sermo Dei, et efficax et penetrabilior omni gladio ancipiti: et pertingens usque ad divisionem animæ ac spiritus: compagum quoque ac medullarum, et discretor cogitationum et intentionum cordis.
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 Et non est ulla creatura invisibilis in conspectu ejus: omnia autem nuda et aperta sunt oculis ejus, ad quem nobis sermo.
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 Habentes ergo pontificem magnum qui penetravit cælos, Jesum Filium Dei, teneamus confessionem.
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 Non enim habemus pontificem qui non possit compati infirmitatibus nostris: tentatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato.
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 Adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiæ: ut misericordiam consequamur, et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio opportuno.
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.
