Hebrews 4
1 Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
Ya mere, ebe ọ bụ na nkwa nke ịba nʼizuike ya ka ghere oghe, ka anyị kpachapụ anya hụ na o nweghị onye ọbụla a ga-ahụta dịka onye etozughị ya.
2 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 it was not mixed with faith by those who heard.
Nʼihi na-eziela anyị oziọma ahụ, dị ka ezikwara ha: ma oziọma ahụ ha nụrụ abaraghị ha uru nʼihi na ha ejighị okwukwe nara ya.
3 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.
Ma anyị bụ ndị kweere na-abanye nʼebe izuike ahụ, dị ka Chineke si kwuo, “Aṅụrụ m iyi nʼiwe m, ‘Ha agaghị abanye nʼizuike m ma ọlị.’” O kwuru nke a nʼagbanyeghị na ọ rụchaala ọrụ ya site na ntọala ụwa.
4 For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”
Nʼihi nʼotu ebe, o nweela ihe o kwuru banyere ụbọchị nke asaa site nʼokwu ndị a: “Chineke zuru ike site nʼọrụ ya niile, nʼụbọchị nke asaa.”
5 and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”
Ma nʼebe a kwa, e kwuru, “Ha agaghị abanye nʼebe izuike m ma ọlị.”
6 Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,
Ebe ọ bụ na ohere dịịrị ụfọdụ mmadụ ịbanye nʼime ya, ma ndị ahụ buru ụzọ nata oziọma ahụ abanyeghị nʼihi nnupu isi.
7 he again defines 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.”
O wepụtara ụbọchị ọzọ nke ọ kpọrọ Taa, o sitere nʼọnụ Devid kwuo okwu ahụ e kwurula ihe banyere nʼoge gara aga sị, “Taa, ọ bụrụ na unu anụ olu ya, unu emela ka obi unu sie ike.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
Nʼihi na a sị na Joshua nyere ha ezumike, ọ gaghị ekwu banyere ụbọchị ọzọ.
9 There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
Otu ụbọchị izuike fọdụrụ nye ndị nke Chineke.
10 For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
Nʼihi na onye ọbụla banyere nʼezumike ya esitela nʼọrụ nke ya onwe ya nwee izuike dị ka Chineke siri banye nʼizuike nke ya.
11 Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
Ya mere, ka anyị mee ka ike anyị ha, ka anyị banye nʼebe izuike ahụ, ka ọ hapụ ịdịkwa onye ọbụla nke na-agaghị aba nʼihi ịṅomi ekweghị ekwe ha.
12 For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, 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.
Nʼihi na okwu Chineke dị ndụ dịkwa nkọ. Ọ dị nkọ karịa mma ihu abụọ ọbụla. Ọ na-adụba ruo na-ikewa mkpụrụobi na mmụọ, ma rukwaa na ebe nkwonkwo na ụmị kewakwara onwe ha. Ọ na-enyocha ọchịchọ na echiche obi ndị mmadụ.
13 There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.
Ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla nʼime ihe niile e kere eke pụrụ izo onwe ya site nʼebe Chineke nọ. Ihe niile ghere oghe, ma gbarakwa ọtọ nʼihu anya ya. Ọ bụ nʼihu ya ka anyị niile ga-aza ajụjụ banyere ndụ anyị niile.
14 Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.
Ebe ọ bụ na anyị nwere onyeisi nchụaja dị ukwuu, onye nke gaferela nʼeluigwe, Jisọs Ọkpara Chineke, ka anyị jidesienụ okwukwe anyị ike.
15 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.
Nʼihi na anyị nwere onyeisi nchụaja nke nwere ike ịghọta adịghị ike anyị. A nwara ya ọnwụnwa nʼụzọ niile dị ka a na-anwa anyị taa. Ma, o meghị mmehie nʼụzọ ọbụla mgbe a nwara ya.
16 Let’s 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.
Ya mere, ka anyị bịaruo ocheeze amara ahụ nso na-atụghị egwu, ka anyị si otu a nata ebere, ma chọtakwa amara nke ga-enyere anyị aka nʼoge mkpa.
