ibriNaH 4

1 aparaM tadvizrAmaprAptEH pratijnjA yadi tiSThati tarhyasmAkaM kazcit cEt tasyAH phalEna vanjcitO bhavEt vayam EtasmAd bibhImaH|

Let us fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.

2 yatO 'smAkaM samIpE yadvat tadvat tESAM samIpE'pi susaMvAdaH pracAritO 'bhavat kintu taiH zrutaM vAkyaM tAn prati niSphalam abhavat, yatastE zrOtArO vizvAsEna sArddhaM tannAmizrayan|

For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard did not profit them, because they were not united by faith with those who heard.

3 tad vizrAmasthAnaM vizvAsibhirasmAbhiH pravizyatE yatastEnOktaM, "ahaM kOpAt zapathaM kRtavAn imaM, pravEkSyatE janairEtai rna vizrAmasthalaM mama|" kintu tasya karmmANi jagataH sRSTikAlAt samAptAni santi|

For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 yataH kasmiMzcit sthAnE saptamaM dinamadhi tEnEdam uktaM, yathA, "IzvaraH saptamE dinE svakRtEbhyaH sarvvakarmmabhyO vizazrAma|"

For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;"

5 kintvEtasmin sthAnE punastEnOcyatE, yathA, "pravEkSyatE janairEtai rna vizrAmasthalaM mama|"

and in this place again, "They will not enter into my rest."

6 phalatastat sthAnaM kaizcit pravESTavyaM kintu yE purA susaMvAdaM zrutavantastairavizvAsAt tanna praviSTam,

Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and they to whom the good news was before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

7 iti hEtOH sa punaradyanAmakaM dinaM nirUpya dIrghakAlE gatE'pi pUrvvOktAM vAcaM dAyUdA kathayati, yathA, "adya yUyaM kathAM tasya yadi saMzrOtumicchatha, tarhi mA kurutEdAnIM kaThinAni manAMsi vaH|"

he again appoints a certain day, "Today," saying through Dawid so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

8 aparaM yihOzUyO yadi tAn vyazrAmayiSyat tarhi tataH param aparasya dinasya vAg IzvarENa nAkathayiSyata|

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.

9 ata Izvarasya prajAbhiH karttavya EkO vizrAmastiSThati|

There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

10 aparam IzvarO yadvat svakRtakarmmabhyO vizazrAma tadvat tasya vizrAmasthAnaM praviSTO janO'pi svakRtakarmmabhyO vizrAmyati|

For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

11 atO vayaM tad vizrAmasthAnaM pravESTuM yatAmahai, tadavizvAsOdAharaNEna kO'pi na patatu|

Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.

12 Izvarasya vAdO'maraH prabhAvaviziSTazca sarvvasmAd dvidhArakhaggAdapi tIkSNaH, aparaM prANAtmanO rgranthimajjayOzca paribhEdAya vicchEdakArI manasazca sagkalpAnAm abhiprEtAnAnjca vicArakaH|

For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

13 aparaM yasya samIpE svIyA svIyA kathAsmAbhiH kathayitavyA tasyAgOcaraH kO'pi prANI nAsti tasya dRSTau sarvvamEvAnAvRtaM prakAzitanjcAstE|

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

14 aparaM ya uccatamaM svargaM praviSTa EtAdRza EkO vyaktirarthata Izvarasya putrO yIzurasmAkaM mahAyAjakO'sti, atO hEtO rvayaM dharmmapratijnjAM dRPham AlambAmahai|

Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Yeshua, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.

15 asmAkaM yO mahAyAjakO 'sti sO'smAkaM duHkhai rduHkhitO bhavitum azaktO nahi kintu pApaM vinA sarvvaviSayE vayamiva parIkSitaH|

For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

16 ataEva kRpAM grahItuM prayOjanIyOpakArArtham anugrahaM prAptunjca vayam utsAhEnAnugrahasiMhAsanasya samIpaM yAmaH|

Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.
