Hebrifoɔ 4

1 Afei, ɛsiane sɛ bɔhyɛ a ɛfa ne mu home da so wɔ hɔ enti, momma yɛnhwɛ yie na mo mu bi antɔ sini wɔ mu.

Let vs feare therefore, least at any time by forsaking the promise of entring into his rest, any of you should seeme to be depriued.

2 Ɛfiri sɛ wɔaka Asɛmpa no akyerɛ yɛn sɛdeɛ wɔka kyerɛ wɔn no. Nanso, wɔammu asɛm a wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn a wɔtiee no no annye anni.

For vnto vs was the Gospel preached as also vnto them: but the worde that they heard, profited not them, because it was not mixed with faith in those that heard it.

3 Na yɛn a yɛagye adi no nko ara na yɛkɔ saa home no mu sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn aka sɛ, “Enti mefiri mʼabufuo mu ka ntam sɛ, ‘Wɔrenhyɛne asase a anka mede wɔn rekɔ mu no da.’” Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi deɛ, nanso ɛfiri ɛberɛ a ɔbɔɔ ewiase no, na wawie ɔhome dwumadie no dada.

For we which haue beleeued, doe enter into rest, as he said to the other, As I haue sworne in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the workes were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 Na Atwerɛsɛm no mu baabi wɔka biribi fa da a ɛtɔ so nson no ho sɛ, “Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, Onyankopɔn home firii ne nnwuma nyinaa mu.”

For he spake in a certaine place of the seuenth day on this wise, And God did rest the seuenth day from all his workes.

5 Wɔkaa saa asɛm korɔ yi ara bio sɛ, “Wɔrenhyɛne asase a anka mede wɔn rekɔ mu no da.”

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

6 Wɔn a wɔdii ɛkan tee Asɛmpa no annya saa ahome no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔannye anni. Afoforɔ bi nso wɔ hɔ a wama wɔn ɛkwan sɛ wɔnnya ahome no.

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter thereinto, and they to whom it was first preached, entred not therein for vnbeliefes sake:

7 Enti Onyankopɔn aka sɛ wayi ɛda bi ato hɔ a wɔfrɛ no “Ɛnnɛ.” Mfeɛ bebree akyi no, ɔnam Dawid so kaa wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no mu sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ, sɛ mote Onyankopɔn nne a mommpirim mo akoma.”

Againe he appointed in Dauid a certaine day, by To day, after so long a time, saying, as it is sayd, This day, if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts.

8 Sɛ Yosua dii nnipa no anim de wɔn kɔɔ Onyankopɔn home mu a, anka akyire no Onyankopɔn anka da foforɔ ho asɛm.

For if Iesus had giuen them rest, then would he not after this haue spoke of an other day.

9 Sɛdeɛ ɛte yi, ɔhome da so wɔ hɔ ma Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn homee da a ɛtɔ so nson no.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

10 Obiara a ɔbɛhome wɔ Onyankopɔn mu no bɛhome afiri nʼankasa ne nnwuma mu, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn home firii ne nnwuma mu no.

For he that is entred into his rest, hath also ceased from his owne works, as God did from his.

11 Enti, momma yɛmmɔ yɛn ho mmɔden na yɛatumi akɔ Onyankopɔn home mu. Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛn mu bi yɛ asoɔden sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ asoɔden a enti wɔankɔ mu no.

Let vs studie therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same ensample of disobedience.

12 Onyankopɔn asɛm yɛ nkwa, na tumi wɔ mu. Ɛyɛ nnam sene sekan anofanu. Ɛhwire mu kɔsi sɛ ɛpaapae honhom ne ɔkra, apɔ ne ɛhon mu. Ɛda yɛn akoma mu ne yɛn adwene mu nsusuiɛ nyinaa adi.

For the worde of God is liuely, and mightie in operation, and sharper then any two edged sword, and entreth through, euen vnto the diuiding asunder of the soule and the spirit, and of the ioints, and the marow, and is a discerner of the thoughtes, and the intents of the heart.

13 Biribiara nni hɔ a wɔde sie Onyankopɔn ma ɛyɛ yie. Abɔdeɛ mu biribiara da nʼanim na ɔno na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛbu yɛn ho akonta kyerɛ no.

Neither is there any creature, which is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and open vnto his eyes, with whome we haue to doe.

14 Ɛno enti, momma yɛnsɔ gyidie a yɛka ho asɛm no mu den. Ɛfiri sɛ yɛwɔ Ɔsɔfopanin kɛseɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.

Seeing then that wee haue a great hie Priest, which is entred into heauen, euen Iesus the Sonne of God, let vs holde fast our profession.

15 Yɛnni sɔfopanin bi a ɔntumi nhwɛ yɛn mmerɛyɛ ho nhunu yɛn mmɔbɔ. Yɛwɔ obi a wɔasɔ no ahwɛ akwan ahodoɔ nyinaa so sɛ yɛn ara, nanso wanyɛ bɔne.

For we haue not an hie Priest, which can not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all things tempted in like sort, yet without sinne.

16 Momma yɛnsi yɛn bo na yɛmmra Onyankopɔn ahennwa a adom wɔ mu no anim, na ɛno na ɛbɛma yɛanya ahummɔborɔ ne adom a ɛbɛboa yɛn ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu.

Let vs therefore goe boldly vnto ye throne of grace, that we may receiue mercy, and finde grace to helpe in time of neede.
