Ibroota 3
1 Kanaafuu yaa obboloota qulqulloota, warra waamicha samii keessatti hirmaattan, Yesuus ergamaa fi luba ol aanaa amantii keenyaa sana ilaalaa.
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 Akkuma Museen mana Waaqaa hunda keessatti amanamaa ture sana innis isa isa muudeef amanamaa ture.
See how faithful he was to the God who appointed him, as Moses was in the whole house of God.
3 Akkuma namni mana ijaaru tokko mana sana caalaa kabaja guddaa qabu, innis Musee caalaa kabaja guddaa qaba.
He has been deemed worthy of far higher honor than Moses, just as the founder of the house is held in greater regard than the house itself.
4 Tokkoon tokkoon manaa namaan ijaaramaatii; kan waan hunda ijaare garuu Waaqa.
For every house has its founder, and the founder of the universe is God.
5 Museen waan fuul duratti dubbatamuuf jiru dhugaa baʼuuf akka tajaajilaa tokkootti mana Waaqaa hunda keessatti amanamaa ture.
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 Kiristoos garuu akka Ilmaatti mana Waaqaa irratti amanamaa dha. Nus yoo ija jabina keenyaa fi abdii ittiin boonnu sana jabeessinee qabanne, nu mana isaa ti.
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 Kanaafuu akkuma Hafuurri Qulqulluun jedhu: “Isin yoo harʼa sagalee isaa dhageessan,
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says – ‘If today you hear God’s voice,
8 akka yeroo qorumsaa gammoojjii keessatti finciluun gootan sana, mataa hin jabaatinaa;
harden not your hearts, as when Israel provoked me on the day when they tried my patience in the desert,
9 abbootiin keessan achitti na qoranii na ilaalan; waggaa afurtamas waan ani hojjedhe argan.
Where your ancestors tried my forbearance, and saw my mighty deeds for forty years.
10 Kanaafuu ani dhaloota sanatti aaree, ‘Yeroo hunda qalbii isaaniitiin dogoggoru; isaan karaa koo hin beekne’ jedhe.
Therefore I was sorely vexed with that generation, and I said – “Their hearts are always straying; they have never learned my ways”;
11 Kanaafuu ani dheekkamsa kootiin, ‘Isaan boqonnaa kootti hin galan’ jedhee kakadhe.”
While in my wrath I swore – “They will never enter upon my rest.”’
12 Yaa obboloota, akka isin keessaa namni tokko iyyuu garaa hamaa fi hin amanne kan Waaqa jiraataa irraa nama fageessu hin qabaanneef of eeggadhaa.
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 Garuu isin keessaa akka namni tokko iyyuu gowwoomsaa cubbuutiin mata jabeessa hin taaneef utuu “Harʼa” jedhamaa jiruu guyyuma guyyaan wal jajjabeessaa.
Rather encourage one another daily – while there is a today – to prevent anyone among you from being hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14 Nus yoo amantii keenya isa jalqabaa sana hamma dhumaatti jabeessinee qabanne Kiristoos wajjin hirmaattota ni taanaatii.
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 Kunis akkuma, “Isin yoo harʼa sagalee isaa dhageessan, akka yeroo fincilaa sana, mataa hin jabaatinaa” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
To use the words of scripture – ‘If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your hearts, as when Israel provoked me.’
16 Warri dhagaʼanii fincilan sun eenyu? Warra Museen qajeelchee Gibxii baase sana hunda mitii?
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 Waaqni waggaa afurtama eenyu faatti aare? Warruma cubbuu hojjetanii reeffi isaanii gammoojjii keessatti kukkufe sanatti mitii?
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 Yoo warruma ajajamuu didan sana taʼe malee Waaqni akka isaan gonkumaa boqonnaa isaatti hin galleef eenyu faatti kakate ree?
And who were they to whom God swore that they should not enter upon his rest, if not those who had proved faithless?
19 Kanaafuu akka isaan sababii amantii dhabuu isaaniitiif boqonnaa sanatti galuu hin dandaʼin argina.
We see, then, that they failed to enter upon it because of their want of faith.
