لِذَلِكَ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا إِذْ لَنَا سَحَابَةٌ مِنَ ٱلشُّهُودِ مِقْدَارُ هَذِهِ مُحِيطَةٌ بِنَا، لِنَطْرَحْ كُلَّ ثِقْلٍ، وَٱلْخَطِيَّةَ ٱلْمُحِيطَةَ بِنَا بِسُهُولَةٍ، وَلْنُحَاضِرْ بِٱلصَّبْرِ فِي ٱلْجِهَادِ ٱلْمَوْضُوعِ أَمَامَنَا، ١ 1
So then, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, we too must run with endurance the race that is set before us, laying aside every impediment and the sin that so easily ensnares,
نَاظِرِينَ إِلَى رَئِيسِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ وَمُكَمِّلِهِ يَسُوعَ، ٱلَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلسُّرُورِ ٱلْمَوْضُوعِ أَمَامَهُ، ٱحْتَمَلَ ٱلصَّلِيبَ مُسْتَهِينًا بِٱلْخِزْيِ، فَجَلَسَ فِي يَمِينِ عَرْشِ ٱللهِ. ٢ 2
looking unto Jesus, the Founder and Perfecter of the Faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured a cross, scorning its ignominy, and took His seat at the right hand of the throne of God.
فَتَفَكَّرُوا فِي ٱلَّذِي ٱحْتَمَلَ مِنَ ٱلْخُطَاةِ مُقَاوَمَةً لِنَفْسِهِ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ لِئَلَّا تَكِلُّوا وَتَخُورُوا فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ. ٣ 3
Do consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so as not to grow weary, losing courage in your souls.
لَمْ تُقَاوِمُوا بَعْدُ حَتَّى ٱلدَّمِ مُجَاهِدِينَ ضِدَّ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، ٤ 4
In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of bloodshed.
وَقَدْ نَسِيتُمُ ٱلْوَعْظَ ٱلَّذِي يُخَاطِبُكُمْ كَبَنِينَ: «يَا ٱبْنِي، لَا تَحْتَقِرْ تَأْدِيبَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَا تَخُرْ إِذَا وَبَّخَكَ. ٥ 5
And you have forgotten the exhortation that instructs you as sons: “My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, nor lose heart when you are reproved by Him;
لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي يُحِبُّهُ ٱلرَّبُّ يُؤَدِّبُهُ، وَيَجْلِدُ كُلَّ ٱبْنٍ يَقْبَلُهُ». ٦ 6
because whom the Lord loves He chastens, yes scourges every son whom He accepts.”
إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَحْتَمِلُونَ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ يُعَامِلُكُمُ ٱللهُ كَٱلْبَنِينَ. فَأَيُّ ٱبْنٍ لَا يُؤَدِّبُهُ أَبُوهُ؟ ٧ 7
If you are enduring discipline, God is dealing with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not discipline?
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ بِلَا تَأْدِيبٍ، قَدْ صَارَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ شُرَكَاءَ فِيهِ، فَأَنْتُمْ نُغُولٌ لَا بَنُونَ. ٨ 8
But if you are without discipline (something everyone undergoes), then you are illegitimate and not sons.
ثُمَّ قَدْ كَانَ لَنَا آبَاءُ أَجْسَادِنَا مُؤَدِّبِينَ، وَكُنَّا نَهَابُهُمْ. أَفَلَا نَخْضَعُ بِٱلْأَوْلَى جِدًّا لِأَبِي ٱلْأَرْوَاحِ، فَنَحْيَا؟ ٩ 9
Furthermore, we have had our human fathers as correctors and respected them. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
لِأَنَّ أُولَئِكَ أَدَّبُونَا أَيَّامًا قَلِيلَةً حَسَبَ ٱسْتِحْسَانِهِمْ، وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَلِأَجْلِ ٱلْمَنْفَعَةِ، لِكَيْ نَشْتَرِكَ فِي قَدَاسَتِهِ. ١٠ 10
Now they indeed disciplined us during a short period as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, so that we may partake of His holiness.
وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ تَأْدِيبٍ فِي ٱلْحَاضِرِ لَا يُرَى أَنَّهُ لِلْفَرَحِ بَلْ لِلْحَزَنِ. وَأَمَّا أَخِيرًا فَيُعْطِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَدَرَّبُونَ بِهِ ثَمَرَ بِرٍّ لِلسَّلَامِ. ١١ 11
Now no discipline seems to be pleasant at the time, but painful; yet afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised by it.
لِذَلِكَ قَوِّمُوا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ ٱلْمُسْتَرْخِيَةَ وَٱلرُّكَبَ ٱلْمُخَلَّعَةَ، ١٢ 12
Therefore strengthen the listless hands and weakened knees,
وَٱصْنَعُوا لِأَرْجُلِكُمْ مَسَالِكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةً، لِكَيْ لَا يَعْتَسِفَ ٱلْأَعْرَجُ، بَلْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ يُشْفَى. ١٣ 13
and make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame not be turned aside but rather be healed.
اِتْبَعُوا ٱلسَّلَامَ مَعَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَٱلْقَدَاسَةَ ٱلَّتِي بِدُونِهَا لَنْ يَرَى أَحَدٌ ٱلرَّبَّ، ١٤ 14
Pursue peace with all, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord;
مُلَاحِظِينَ لِئَلَّا يَخِيبَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ نِعْمَةِ ٱللهِ. لِئَلَّا يَطْلُعَ أَصْلُ مَرَارَةٍ وَيَصْنَعَ ٱنْزِعَاجًا، فَيَتَنَجَّسَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ. ١٥ 15
taking care that no one come short of the grace of God, that no root of bitterness springing up cause trouble and thereby many be defiled,
لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ أَحَدٌ زَانِيًا أَوْ مُسْتَبِيحًا كَعِيسُو، ٱلَّذِي لِأَجْلِ أَكْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ بَاعَ بَكُورِيَّتَهُ. ١٦ 16
that no one be a fornicator, or worldly like Esau, who in exchange for one meal gave up his birthright.
فَإِنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ أَيْضًا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرِثَ ٱلْبَرَكَةَ رُفِضَ، إِذْ لَمْ يَجِدْ لِلتَّوْبَةِ مَكَانًا، مَعَ أَنَّهُ طَلَبَهَا بِدُمُوعٍ. ١٧ 17
Because you do indeed know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing he was rejected; he found no place for a change of mind, though he sought it diligently with tears.
لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَأْتُوا إِلَى جَبَلٍ مَلْمُوسٍ مُضْطَرِمٍ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَإِلَى ضَبَابٍ وَظَلَامٍ وَزَوْبَعَةٍ، ١٨ 18
Now you have not come to a touchable mountain burning with fire, to blackness and darkness, to tempest;
وَهُتَافِ بُوقٍ وَصَوْتِ كَلِمَاتٍ، ٱسْتَعْفَى ٱلَّذِينَ سَمِعُوهُ مِنْ أَنْ تُزَادَ لَهُمْ كَلِمَةٌ، ١٩ 19
to a trumpet blast and spoken words such that those who heard begged that no further word be spoken to them
لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحْتَمِلُوا مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ: «وَإِنْ مَسَّتِ ٱلْجَبَلَ بَهِيمَةٌ، تُرْجَمُ أَوْ تُرْمَى بِسَهْمٍ». ٢٠ 20
(because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain it must be stoned!”
وَكَانَ ٱلْمَنْظَرُ هَكَذَا مُخِيفًا حَتَّى قَالَ مُوسَى: «أَنَا مُرْتَعِبٌ وَمُرْتَعِدٌ». ٢١ 21
and the sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling!”);
بَلْ قَدْ أَتَيْتُمْ إِلَى جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَإِلَى مَدِينَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ، أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّةِ، وَإِلَى رَبَوَاتٍ هُمْ مَحْفِلُ مَلَائِكَةٍ، ٢٢ 22
but you have come to Mount Zion, even to the City of the Living God, Heavenly Jerusalem; to myriads of angels in festal gathering,
وَكَنِيسَةُ أَبْكَارٍ مَكْتُوبِينَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَإِلَى ٱللهِ دَيَّانِ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَإِلَى أَرْوَاحِ أَبْرَارٍ مُكَمَّلِينَ، ٢٣ 23
to an assembly of firstborn ones who have been enrolled in heaven; to God, Judge of all; to the spirits of the perfected righteous;
وَإِلَى وَسِيطِ ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلْجَدِيدِ، يَسُوعَ، وَإِلَى دَمِ رَشٍّ يَتَكَلَّمُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ هَابِيلَ. ٢٤ 24
to Jesus, Mediator of a new covenant, and to a blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
اُنْظُرُوا أَنْ لَا تَسْتَعْفُوا مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِ. لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ أُولَئِكَ لَمْ يَنْجُوا إِذِ ٱسْتَعْفَوْا مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَبِٱلْأَوْلَى جِدًّا لَا نَنْجُو نَحْنُ ٱلْمُرْتَدِّينَ عَنِ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ! ٢٥ 25
See to it that you not refuse Him who speaks. Because if they did not escape who refused Him who gave divine warning on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from Him who warns from Heaven!
ٱلَّذِي صَوْتُهُ زَعْزَعَ ٱلْأَرْضَ حِينَئِذٍ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَقَدْ وَعَدَ قَائِلًا: «إِنِّي مَرَّةً أَيْضًا أُزَلْزِلُ لَا ٱلْأَرْضَ فَقَطْ بَلِ ٱلسَّمَاءَ أَيْضًا». ٢٦ 26
Then His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth but also the heaven.”
فَقَوْلُهُ: «مَرَّةً أَيْضًا»، يَدُلُّ عَلَى تَغْيِيرِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ ٱلْمُتَزَعْزِعَةِ كَمَصْنُوعَةٍ، لِكَيْ تَبْقَى ٱلَّتِي لَا تَتَزَعْزَعُ. ٢٧ 27
Now the ‘yet once more’ clearly indicates the removal of the things being shaken (created things), so that the unshakables may remain.
لِذَلِكَ وَنَحْنُ قَابِلُونَ مَلَكُوتًا لَا يَتَزَعْزَعُ لِيَكُنْ عِنْدَنَا شُكْرٌ بِهِ نَخْدِمُ ٱللهَ خِدْمَةً مَرْضِيَّةً، بِخُشُوعٍ وَتَقْوَى. ٢٨ 28
Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us hold on to the grace by which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear;
لِأَنَّ «إِلَهَنَا نَارٌ آكِلَةٌ». ٢٩ 29
because our God is indeed a consuming fire.
