Hebräer 3

1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:

2Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.

3For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house, hath greater honour than the house.

4For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things, is God.

5And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:

6But Christ as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.

7Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: Today if you shall hear his voice,

8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert,

9Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,

10Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways,

11As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.

12Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.

13But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called today, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.

15While it is said, Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.

16For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?

18And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?

19And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.

1Unde, fratres sancti, vocationis cælestis participes, considerate Apostolum, et pontificem confessionis nostræ Jesum:

2qui fidelis est ei, qui fecit illum, sicut et Moyses in omni domo ejus.

3Amplioris enim gloriæ iste præ Moyse dignus est habitus, quanto ampliorem honorem habet domus, qui fabricavit illam.

4Omnis namque domus fabricatur ab aliquo: qui autem omnia creavit, Deus est.

5Et Moyses quidem fidelis erat in tota domo ejus tamquam famulus, in testimonium eorum, quæ dicenda erant:

6Christus vero tamquam filius in domo sua: quæ domus sumus nos, si fiduciam, et gloriam spei usque ad finem, firmam retineamus.

7Quapropter sicut dicit Spiritus Sanctus: Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis,

8nolite obdurare corda vestra, sicut in exacerbatione secundum diem tentationis in deserto,

9ubi tentaverunt me patres vestri: probaverunt, et viderunt opera mea

10quadraginta annis: propter quod infensus fui generationi huic, et dixi: Semper errant corde. Ipsi autem non cognoverunt vias meas,

11sicut juravi in ira mea: Si introibunt in requiem meam.

12Videte fratres, ne forte sit in aliquo vestrum cor malum incredulitatis, discedendi a Deo vivo:

13sed adhortamini vosmetipsos per singulos dies, donec hodie cognominatur, ut non obduretur quis ex vobis fallacia peccati.

14Participes enim Christi effecti sumus, si tamen initium substantiæ ejus usque ad finem firmum retineamus.

15Dum dicitur: Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra, quemadmodum in illa exacerbatione.

16Quidam enim audientes exacerbaverunt: sed non universi qui profecti sunt ex Ægypto per Moysen.

17Quibus autem infensus est quadraginta annis? nonne illis qui peccaverunt, quorum cadavera prostrata sunt in deserto?

18Quibus autem juravit non introire in requiem ipsius, nisi illis qui increduli fuerunt?

19Et videmus, quia non potuerunt introire propter incredulitatem.

1Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus.

2He is faithful to the One who made him, just as Moses also was, with his entire house.

3For this Jesus was considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, so much so that the house which he has built holds a greater honor than the former one.

4For every house is built by someone, but God is the One who has created all things.

5And certainly Moses was faithful, with his entire house, like any servant, as a testimony to those things that would soon be said.

6Yet truly, Christ is like a Son in his own house. We are that house, if we firmly retain the faithfulness and the glory of hope, even unto the end.

7Because of this, it is just as the Holy Spirit says: “If today you hear his voice,

8harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, the very day of temptation, in the desert,

9where your fathers tested me, even though they had seen and examined my works for forty years.

10For this reason, I was enraged against this generation, and I said: They always wander astray in heart. For they have not known my ways.

11So it is as I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest!”

12Be cautious, brothers, lest perhaps there may be, in any of you, an evil heart of unbelief, turning aside from the living God.

13Instead, exhort one another every day, while it is still called ‘today,’ so that none of you may become hardened through the falseness of sin.

14For we have been made participants in Christ. This is only so, if we firmly retain the beginning of his substance, even unto the end.

15For it has been said: “If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, in the same manner as in the former provocation.”

16For some of those listening did provoke him. But not all of these had set forth from Egypt through Moses.

17So against whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not those who had sinned, whose dead bodies lay prostrate in the desert?

18But to whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, except to those who were incredulous?

19And so, we perceive that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
