1 hE svargIyasyAhvAnasya sahabhAginaH pavitrabhrAtaraH, asmAkaM dharmmapratijnjAyA dUtO'grasarazca yO yIzustam AlOcadhvaM|

Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;

2 mUsA yadvat tasya sarvvaparivAramadhyE vizvAsya AsIt, tadvat ayamapi svaniyOjakasya samIpE vizvAsyO bhavati|

who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in his house.

3 parivArAcca yadvat tatsthApayituradhikaM gauravaM bhavati tadvat mUsasO'yaM bahutaragauravasya yOgyO bhavati|

For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who built the house has more honor than the house.

4 Ekaikasya nivEzanasya parijanAnAM sthApayitA kazcid vidyatE yazca sarvvasthApayitA sa Izvara Eva|

For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

5 mUsAzca vakSyamANAnAM sAkSI bhRtya iva tasya sarvvaparijanamadhyE vizvAsyO'bhavat kintu khrISTastasya parijanAnAmadhyakSa iva|

Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,

6 vayaM tu yadi vizvAsasyOtsAhaM zlAghananjca zESaM yAvad dhArayAmastarhi tasya parijanA bhavAmaH|

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope.

7 atO hEtOH pavitrENAtmanA yadvat kathitaM, tadvat, "adya yUyaM kathAM tasya yadi saMzrOtumicchatha|

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,

8 tarhi purA parIkSAyA dinE prAntaramadhyataH| madAjnjAnigrahasthAnE yuSmAbhistu kRtaM yathA| tathA mA kurutEdAnIM kaThinAni manAMsi vaH|

do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

9 yuSmAkaM pitarastatra matparIkSAm akurvvata| kurvvadbhi rmE'nusandhAnaM tairadRzyanta matkriyAH| catvAriMzatsamA yAvat kruddhvAhantu tadanvayE|

where your fathers tested me and challenged me, and saw my works for forty years.

10 avAdiSam imE lOkA bhrAntAntaHkaraNAH sadA| mAmakInAni vartmAni parijAnanti nO imE|

Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and said, 'They always err in their heart, but they did not know my ways;'

11 iti hEtOrahaM kOpAt zapathaM kRtavAn imaM| prEvEkSyatE janairEtai rna vizrAmasthalaM mama||"

as I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.'"

12 hE bhrAtaraH sAvadhAnA bhavata, amarEzvarAt nivarttakO yO'vizvAsastadyuktaM duSTAntaHkaraNaM yuSmAkaM kasyApi na bhavatu|

Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

13 kintu yAvad adyanAmA samayO vidyatE tAvad yuSmanmadhyE kO'pi pApasya vanjcanayA yat kaThOrIkRtO na bhavEt tadarthaM pratidinaM parasparam upadizata|

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

14 yatO vayaM khrISTasyAMzinO jAtAH kintu prathamavizvAsasya dRPhatvam asmAbhiH zESaM yAvad amOghaM dhArayitavyaM|

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:

15 adya yUyaM kathAM tasya yadi saMzrOtumicchatha, tarhyAjnjAlagghanasthAnE yuSmAbhistu kRtaM yathA, tathA mA kurutEdAnIM kaThinAni manAMsi va iti tEna yaduktaM,

while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."

16 tadanusArAd yE zrutvA tasya kathAM na gRhItavantastE kE? kiM mUsasA misaradEzAd AgatAH sarvvE lOkA nahi?

For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, did not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?

17 kEbhyO vA sa catvAriMzadvarSANi yAvad akrudhyat? pApaM kurvvatAM yESAM kuNapAH prAntarE 'patan kiM tEbhyO nahi?

With whom was he displeased forty years? Was not it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

18 pravEkSyatE janairEtai rna vizrAmasthalaM mamEti zapathaH kESAM viruddhaM tEnAkAri? kim avizvAsinAM viruddhaM nahi?

To whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

19 atastE tat sthAnaM pravESTum avizvAsAt nAzaknuvan iti vayaM vIkSAmahE|

We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
