< 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 us fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
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 indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard did not profit them, because they were not united by faith with those who heard.
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 who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;" although the works 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 has said this somewhere about the seventh day, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;"
5 Wɔkaa saa asɛm korɔ yi ara bio sɛ, “Wɔrenhyɛne asase a anka mede wɔn rekɔ mu no da.”
and in this place again, "They will not 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.
Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and they to whom the good news was before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,
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.”
he again appoints a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden 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 Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
9 Sɛdeɛ ɛte yi, ɔhome da so wɔ hɔ ma Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn homee da a ɛtɔ so nson no.
There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for 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 who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his 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 us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example 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 word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions 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.
There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Ɛno enti, momma yɛnsɔ gyidie a yɛka ho asɛm no mu den. Ɛfiri sɛ yɛwɔ Ɔsɔfopanin kɛseɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.
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 do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
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 us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.
