ibriṇaḥ 4
1 aparaṁ tadviśrāmaprāptēḥ pratijñā yadi tiṣṭhati tarhyasmākaṁ kaścit cēt tasyāḥ phalēna vañcitō bhavēt vayam ētasmād bibhīmaḥ|
Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, let us proceed with fear so that none of you may be found to have fallen short of 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 we also have received good news just as they did. But the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united by faith with those who listened.
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 have believed enter that rest. As for the others, God has said, “As I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter my rest!’” Now God's works have been finished from the foundation of the world.
4 yataḥ kasmiṁścit sthānē saptamaṁ dinamadhi tēnēdam uktaṁ, yathā, "īśvaraḥ saptamē dinē svakr̥tēbhyaḥ sarvvakarmmabhyō viśaśrāma|"
For in one place it speaks about the seventh day as follows: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”
5 kintvētasmin sthānē punastēnōcyatē, yathā, "pravēkṣyatē janairētai rna viśrāmasthalaṁ mama|"
But again, God says in the passage above: “They will not enter my rest!”
6 phalatastat sthānaṁ kaiścit pravēṣṭavyaṁ kintu yē purā susaṁvādaṁ śrutavantastairaviśvāsāt tanna praviṣṭam,
Therefore, since God's rest remains open for some to enter, and those who formerly received good news did not enter because of their 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 designates a certain day, calling it “Today,” as he says through David much later, in the passage already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
8 aparaṁ yihōśūyō yadi tān vyaśrāmayiṣyat tarhi tataḥ param aparasya dinasya vāg īśvarēṇa nākathayiṣyata|
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
9 ata īśvarasya prajābhiḥ karttavya ēkō viśrāmastiṣṭhati|
So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
10 aparam īśvarō yadvat svakr̥takarmmabhyō viśaśrāma tadvat tasya viśrāmasthānaṁ praviṣṭō janō'pi svakr̥takarmmabhyō viśrāmyati|
For anyone who has entered God's rest has rested from his own works, just as God rested from his.
11 atō vayaṁ tad viśrāmasthānaṁ pravēṣṭuṁ yatāmahai, tadaviśvāsōdāharaṇēna kō'pi na patatu|
Therefore let us make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern 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 active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13 aparaṁ yasya samīpē svīyā svīyā kathāsmābhiḥ kathayitavyā tasyāgōcaraḥ kō'pi prāṇī nāsti tasya dr̥ṣṭau sarvvamēvānāvr̥taṁ prakāśitañcāstē|
No creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.
14 aparaṁ ya uccatamaṁ svargaṁ praviṣṭa ētādr̥śa ēkō vyaktirarthata īśvarasya putrō yīśurasmākaṁ mahāyājakō'sti, atō hētō rvayaṁ dharmmapratijñāṁ dr̥ḍham ālambāmahai|
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.
15 asmākaṁ yō mahāyājakō 'sti sō'smākaṁ duḥkhai rduḥkhitō bhavitum aśaktō nahi kintu pāpaṁ vinā sarvvaviṣayē vayamiva parīkṣitaḥ|
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet was without sin.
16 ataēva kr̥pāṁ grahītuṁ prayōjanīyōpakārārtham anugrahaṁ prāptuñca vayam utsāhēnānugrahasiṁhāsanasya samīpaṁ yāmaḥ|
Therefore let us draw near to the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
