Hebrews 4
1 Nítorí náà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run ti ṣe ìlérí àtiwọ inú ìsinmi rẹ̀ fún wa, ẹ jẹ́ kí á bẹ̀rù, kí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín má ba à dàbí ẹni pé ó tí kùnà rẹ̀.
Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it.
2 Nítorí tí àwa gbọ́ ìwàásù ìyìnrere, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti wàásù rẹ̀ fún àwọn náà pẹ̀lú, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ tí wọ́n gbọ́ kò ṣe wọ́n ní àǹfààní, nítorí tí kò dàpọ̀ mọ́ ìgbàgbọ́ nínú àwọn tí ó gbọ́ ọ.
For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.
3 Nítorí pé àwa tí ó ti gbàgbọ́ wọ inú ìsinmi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó tí wí, “Bí mo tí búra nínú ìbínú mi, ‘Wọn kì yóò wọ inú ìsinmi mi.’” Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé a tí parí iṣẹ́ wọ̀nyí láti ìpìlẹ̀ ayé.
Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.
4 Nítorí ó ti sọ níbìkan ní ti ọjọ́ keje báyìí pé, “Ọlọ́run sì sinmi ní ọjọ́ keje kúrò nínú iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ gbogbo.”
For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”
5 Àti níhìn-ín yìí pẹ̀lú ó wí pé, “Wọn kì yóò wọ inú ìsinmi mi.”
And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”
6 Nítorí náà bí ó tí jẹ́ pé, ó ku kí àwọn kan wọ inú rẹ̀, àti àwọn tí a ti wàásù ìyìnrere náà fún ní ìṣáájú kò wọ inú rẹ̀ nítorí àìgbọ́ràn.
Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience,
7 Àti pé, ó yan ọjọ́ kan, ó wí nínú ìwé Dafidi pé, “Lónìí,” lẹ́yìn ìgbà pípẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀; bí a tí wí níṣàájú, “Lónìí bí ẹ̀yin bá gbọ́ ohùn rẹ̀, ẹ má ṣe sé ọkàn yín le.”
God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
8 Nítorí, ìbá ṣe pé Joṣua tí fún wọn ní ìsinmi, òun kì bá tí sọ̀rọ̀ nípa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mìíràn lẹ́yìn náà,
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
9 nítorí náà ìsinmi kan kù fún àwọn ènìyàn Ọlọ́run.
There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
10 Nítorí pé ẹni tí ó ba bọ́ sínú ìsinmi rẹ̀, òun pẹ̀lú sinmi kúrò nínú iṣẹ́ tirẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run ti sinmi kúrò nínú iṣẹ́ tirẹ̀.
For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.
11 Nítorí náà, ẹ jẹ́ kí á múra gírí láti wọ inú ìsinmi náà, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ba à ṣubú nípa irú àìgbàgbọ́ kan náà.
Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
12 Nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run yè, ó sì ní agbára, ó sì mu ju idàkídà olójú méjì lọ, ó sì ń gún ni, àní títí dé pínpín ọkàn àti ẹ̀mí ní yà, àti ní oríkèé àti ọ̀rá inú egungun, òun sì ni olùmọ̀ èrò inú àti ète ọkàn.
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13 Kò sí ẹ̀dá kan tí kò farahàn níwájú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ohun gbogbo ni ó wà níhòhò tí a sì ṣípáyà fún ojú rẹ̀, níwájú ẹni tí àwa yóò jíyìn.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
14 Ǹjẹ́ bí a ti ní olórí àlùfáà ńlá kan, tí ó ti la àwọn ọ̀run kọjá lọ, Jesu Ọmọ Ọlọ́run, ẹ jẹ́ kí a di ìjẹ́wọ́ wa mú ṣinṣin.
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.
15 Nítorí a kò ní olórí àlùfáà tí kò lè ṣàì ba ni kẹ́dùn nínú àìlera wa, ẹni tí a ti dánwò lọ́nà gbogbo gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò dẹ́ṣẹ̀.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.
16 Nítorí náà, ẹ jẹ́ kí a wá si ibi ìtẹ́ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ pẹ̀lú ìgboyà, kí a lè rí àánú gbà, kí a sì rí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ láti máa ran ni lọ́wọ́ ní àkókò tí ó wọ̀.
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
