ibriNaH 3

1 he svargIyasyAhvAnasya sahabhAginaH pavitrabhrAtaraH, asmAkaM dharmmapratij nAyA dUto. agrasarashcha yo yIshustam AlochadhvaM|

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

2 mUsA yadvat tasya sarvvaparivAramadhye vishvAsya AsIt, tadvat ayamapi svaniyojakasya samIpe vishvAsyo bhavati|

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

3 parivArAchcha yadvat tatsthApayituradhikaM gauravaM bhavati tadvat mUsaso. ayaM 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 niveshanasya parijanAnAM sthApayitA kashchid vidyate yashcha sarvvasthApayitA sa Ishvara eva|

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

5 mUsAshcha vakShyamANAnAM sAkShI bhR^itya iva tasya sarvvaparijanamadhye vishvAsyo. abhavat kintu khrIShTastasya parijanAnAmadhyakSha 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 vishvAsasyotsAhaM shlAghana ncha sheShaM 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 saMshrotumichChatha|

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

8 tarhi purA parIkShAyA dine prAntaramadhyataH| madAj nAnigrahasthAne yuShmAbhistu kR^itaM 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 yuShmAkaM pitarastatra matparIkShAm akurvvata| kurvvadbhi rme. anusandhAnaM tairadR^ishyanta matkriyAH| chatvAriMshatsamA yAvat kruddhvAhantu tadanvaye|

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

10 avAdiSham 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 shapathaM kR^itavAn imaM| prevekShyate janairetai rna vishrAmasthalaM mama||"

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

12 he bhrAtaraH sAvadhAnA bhavata, amareshvarAt nivarttako yo. avishvAsastadyuktaM duShTAntaHkaraNaM yuShmAkaM 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 yuShmanmadhye ko. api pApasya va nchanayA yat kaThorIkR^ito na bhavet tadarthaM pratidinaM parasparam upadishata|

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 khrIShTasyAMshino jAtAH kintu prathamavishvAsasya dR^iDhatvam asmAbhiH sheShaM 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 saMshrotumichChatha, tarhyAj nAla NghanasthAne yuShmAbhistu kR^itaM 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 shrutvA tasya kathAM na gR^ihItavantaste ke? kiM mUsasA misaradeshAd 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 chatvAriMshadvarShANi yAvad akrudhyat? pApaM kurvvatAM yeShAM kuNapAH prAntare. apatan kiM tebhyo nahi?

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

18 pravekShyate janairetai rna vishrAmasthalaM mameti shapathaH keShAM viruddhaM tenAkAri? kim avishvAsinAM 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 praveShTum avishvAsAt nAshaknuvan iti vayaM vIkShAmahe|

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