< Hebrews 4 >

1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left [us] of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
Let us fear, therefore, lest, while there is a confirmed promise of an entrance into his rest, any one shall be found among you remaining from entering in.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it].
For we have been evangelized as well as they: but the word which they heard did not profit them, because not contempered with faith in them who heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
But we enter into the rest, we (being of) those (who) have believed. But as He hath said, So I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest: for, behold, the works of Aloha from the beginning of the world were.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
As he said concerning the shabath, God rested on the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest.
Yet here again he saith, They shall not enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Therefore, because there was a place into which every one of them might have entered, and they who had it announced first did not enter in, forasmuch as they would not be persuaded;
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
---moreover, (as) another day he appointeth, after much time; as above it is written, that David hath said, To-day if his voice ye will hear, harden not your hearts;
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
---but if Jeshu-bar-Nun had established them in rest, he not have spoken afterwards of another day:
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
---Therefore, yet to enjoy a shabathism is confirmed to the people of Aloha.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his.
For he who is entered into his rest hath also reposed himself from his works, as Aloha (did) from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Let us, therefore, anxiously endeavour to enter into that rest, that we fall not after the manner of those who were not persuaded.
12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
For living is the Word of Aloha, and all-acting, and more penetrating than a two-edged sword, and entereth to the separation of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints, and of the marrow, and the bones, and discerneth the reasonings and counsel of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Neither is there any creature that is concealed from before him; but every thing (is) naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom they shall give account.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.
Therefore having such a great High Priest, Jeshu Meshiha, the Son of Aloha, who hath ascended to heaven, let us persevere in the confession of him.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin.
For we have not an high priest who cannot suffer along with our infirmity, but (one) who, tempted in every thing as we, (was) separate from sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Let us therefore approach with confidence to the throne of his grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for help in the time of affliction.
