Hepelū 4

1 Ko ia ketau manavahē, telia, ʻi he tuku mai ʻae talaʻofa ʻoe hū ki hono mālōlōʻanga, ʻe ai hamou tokotaha ʻe tomui ki ai.

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

2 He kuo fakahā ʻae ongoongolelei kiate kitautolu, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu: ka ko e fanongo ki he folofola naʻe ʻikai ʻaonga kiate kinautolu, ko e ʻikai ke felingiʻaki ia ʻae tui ʻekinautolu naʻe fanongo.

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

3 He ko kitautolu ʻoku tui kuo tau hū ki he mālōlōʻanga, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola, “Kuo u fuakava ʻi heʻeku houhau, E ʻikai te nau hū ki hoku mālōlōʻanga:” ka kuo fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi ngaue talu ʻae fakatupu ʻo māmani.

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 He naʻe lea pehē ʻe ia ʻi he potu ʻe taha ki hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, “Pea naʻe mālōlō ʻae ʻOtua ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho mei heʻene ngaue kotoa pē.”

For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And Elohim did rest the seventh day from all his works.

5 Pea mo eni foki, “E ʻikai te nau hū ki hoku mālōlōʻanga.”

And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

6 Ko ia koeʻuhi kuo pau ʻe hū ki ai ʻae niʻihi, pea naʻe ʻikai hū ʻakinautolu naʻe tomuʻa malanga ia ki ai, ko e meʻa ʻi he taʻetui:

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

7 (Pea toe kotofa ʻe ia ʻae ʻaho ʻe taha, ʻo pehē mai ʻia Tevita, “Ko e ʻaho ni,” ʻi he hili ʻae ngaahi taʻu lahi; ʻo hangē ko hono fakahā, “Ko e ʻaho ni, ʻo kapau te mou fanongo ki hono leʻo, ʻoua naʻa fakafefeka homou loto.”

Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8 He ka ne foaki ʻe Siosiua, ʻae mālōlōʻanga kiate kinautolu, pehē, ʻe ʻikai folofola ia ki mui ki ha ʻaho kehe.

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

9 Ko ia ʻoku kei toe ʻae mālōlōʻanga fakaSāpate ki he kakai ʻae ʻOtua.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of Elohim.

10 He ko ia kuo hū ki hono mālōlōʻanga, kuo mālōlō foki ʻe ia mei heʻene ngaue ʻaʻana, ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtua mei heʻene [ngaue].)

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as YHWH did from his.

11 Ko ia ke tau fai feinga ke hū ki he mālōlōʻanga ko ia, telia naʻa ai ha taha ʻe hinga ʻi he fai ʻo fakatatau ki he taʻetui ko ia.

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

12 He ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku moʻui, mo mālohi, pea māsila lahi ʻi ha heletā ʻoku fakatoumata, ʻoku ʻasi ki hono vaheʻi ʻoe loto mo e laumālie, mo e ngaahi hokotanga hui mo e uho, pea ʻoku ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi mahalo mo e filioʻi ʻoe loto.

For the word of YHWH is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

13 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku taʻehāmai ʻi hono ʻao: ka ʻoku telefua pea tokaimaʻananga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ki he fofonga ʻo ia ʻaia te tau fakamaau ki ai.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

14 Ko ia ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻaia kuo hū atu ʻi he langi, ko Sisu ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ke tau puke maʻu ʻa ʻetau lotu.

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Yahushua the Son of YHWH, let us hold fast our profession.

15 He ʻoku ʻikai ke tau maʻu ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki ʻoku taʻemanavaʻofa ki heʻetau ngaahi vaivai; ka naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi tatau pe ia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ka naʻe ʻikai haʻane angahala.

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16 Ko ia ke tau haʻu mālohi ai ki he ʻafioʻanga ʻoe ʻaloʻofa, koeʻuhi ke tau maʻu ʻae ʻaloʻofa, pea ʻilo mo e foaki ʻofa, ke tokoni mai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ʻaonga ai.

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