ibriṇaḥ 4

1 aparaṁ tadviśrāmaprāptēḥ pratijñā yadi tiṣṭhati tarhyasmākaṁ kaścit cēt tasyāḥ phalēna vañcitō bhavēt vayam ētasmād bibhīmaḥ|

Let us then fear, since a promise is still left us of entering into his rest, lest any one of you should appear to fail of obtaining it.

2 yatō 'smākaṁ samīpē yadvat tadvat tēṣāṁ samīpē'pi susaṁvādaḥ pracāritō 'bhavat kintu taiḥ śrutaṁ vākyaṁ tān prati niṣphalam abhavat, yatastē śrōtārō viśvāsēna sārddhaṁ tannāmiśrayan|

For to us were glad tidings addressed, as well as to them; but the word which was heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

3 tad viśrāmasthānaṁ viśvāsibhirasmābhiḥ praviśyatē yatastēnōktaṁ, "ahaṁ kōpāt śapathaṁ kr̥tavān imaṁ, pravēkṣyatē janairētai rna viśrāmasthalaṁ mama|" kintu tasya karmmāṇi jagataḥ sr̥ṣṭikālāt samāptāni santi|

For we who believed enter into the rest, as he hath said: “So I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 yataḥ kasmiṁścit sthānē saptamaṁ dinamadhi tēnēdam uktaṁ, yathā, "īśvaraḥ saptamē dinē svakr̥tēbhyaḥ sarvvakarmmabhyō viśaśrāma|"

For he hath spoken in a certain place of the seventh day thus: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”

5 kintvētasmin sthānē punastēnōcyatē, yathā, "pravēkṣyatē janairētai rna viśrāmasthalaṁ mama|"

and in this place again: “They shall not enter into my rest.”

6 phalatastat sthānaṁ kaiścit pravēṣṭavyaṁ kintu yē purā susaṁvādaṁ śrutavantastairaviśvāsāt tanna praviṣṭam,

Since then it still remaineth for some to enter into it, and they to whom the glad tidings of it were first brought did not enter in because of disobedience,

7 iti hētōḥ sa punaradyanāmakaṁ dinaṁ nirūpya dīrghakālē gatē'pi pūrvvōktāṁ vācaṁ dāyūdā kathayati, yathā, "adya yūyaṁ kathāṁ tasya yadi saṁśrōtumicchatha, tarhi mā kurutēdānīṁ kaṭhināni manāṁsi vaḥ|"

he again appointeth a certain day, “To-day”—saying in David so long a time after, as hath before been said—”To-day, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts.”

8 aparaṁ yihōśūyō yadi tān vyaśrāmayiṣyat tarhi tataḥ param aparasya dinasya vāg īśvarēṇa nākathayiṣyata|

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not after this be speaking of another day.

9 ata īśvarasya prajābhiḥ karttavya ēkō viśrāmastiṣṭhati|

There remaineth therefore a sabbath-rest to the people of God.

10 aparam īśvarō yadvat svakr̥takarmmabhyō viśaśrāma tadvat tasya viśrāmasthānaṁ praviṣṭō janō'pi svakr̥takarmmabhyō viśrāmyati|

For he that hath entered into his rest, hath himself rested from his works, as God did from his own.

11 atō vayaṁ tad viśrāmasthānaṁ pravēṣṭuṁ yatāmahai, tadaviśvāsōdāharaṇēna kō'pi na patatu|

Let us then strive to enter into that rest, that no one may fall, as a like example of disobedience.

12 īśvarasya vādō'maraḥ prabhāvaviśiṣṭaśca sarvvasmād dvidhārakhaṅgādapi tīkṣṇaḥ, aparaṁ prāṇātmanō rgranthimajjayōśca paribhēdāya vicchēdakārī manasaśca saṅkalpānām abhiprētānāñca vicārakaḥ|

For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, both the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart;

13 aparaṁ yasya samīpē svīyā svīyā kathāsmābhiḥ kathayitavyā tasyāgōcaraḥ kō'pi prāṇī nāsti tasya dr̥ṣṭau sarvvamēvānāvr̥taṁ prakāśitañcāstē|

and there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and laid open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

14 aparaṁ ya uccatamaṁ svargaṁ praviṣṭa ētādr̥śa ēkō vyaktirarthata īśvarasya putrō yīśurasmākaṁ mahāyājakō'sti, atō hētō rvayaṁ dharmmapratijñāṁ dr̥ḍham ālambāmahai|

Since, then, we have a great high-priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

15 asmākaṁ yō mahāyājakō 'sti sō'smākaṁ duḥkhai rduḥkhitō bhavitum aśaktō nahi kintu pāpaṁ vinā sarvvaviṣayē vayamiva parīkṣitaḥ|

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

16 ataēva kr̥pāṁ grahītuṁ prayōjanīyōpakārārtham anugrahaṁ prāptuñca vayam utsāhēnānugrahasiṁhāsanasya samīpaṁ yāmaḥ|

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
