Hebru 4

1 Te dongah amah kah duemnah khuiah kun ham olkhueh a paih te nangmih khuiah khat khat loh a hlavawt la a poek khaming tila birhih uh sih.

We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short,

2 Amih bangla olthangthen aka phong lam ni n'om uh ngawn. Tedae a yaak rhoek te tangnah neh a rhoih uh pawt dongah a hnavue kah olka tah phu voel pawh.

for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,

3 A ti bangla aka tangnah rhoek tah duemnah khuila n'kun uh. Ka kosi neh ka toemngam vanbangla kai duemnah khuiah kun venim. Te cakhaw Diklai a tongnah lamloh a bibi te ana om coeng.

for we do enter into the rest — we who did believe, as He said, 'So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest —;' and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,

4 Te dongah pakhat ah hninrhih ham a thui tangloeng. Te vaengah Pathen tah a bibi boeih lamkah hnin rhih vaengah duem.

for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh [day] thus: 'And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;'

5 Te phoeiah amah hmuen la, “Ka duemnah khuiah kun uh mahpawh,” koep a ti.

and in this [place] again, 'If they shall enter into My rest —;'

6 Te dongah a khuila kun ham hlangvang a khueh tangloeng pueng. Tedae hnukbuet kah aka phong rhoek tah althanah dongah kun uh pawh.

since then, it remaineth for certain to enter into it, and those who did first hear good news entered not in because of unbelief —

7 Te phoeiah khohnin pakhat te “Tihnin “la a hoep tih kum heyet phoeiah ni David loh a thui. A thui bangla tihnin ah a ol te na yaak uh atah nangmih kah thinko te ning sak uh boeh.

again He doth limit a certain day, 'To-day,' (in David saying, after so long a time, ) as it hath been said, 'To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts,'

8 Joshua loh amih te a duem sak atah hekah khohnin phoeiah a tloe ham tah thui mahpawh.

for if Joshua had given them rest, He would not concerning another day have spoken after these things;

9 Te dongah duemhnin tah Pathen kah pilnam ham ni a om.

there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,

10 Te dongah amah kah duemnah khuiah aka kun tah Pathen loh amah bibi lamkah a duem vanbangla anih khaw amah bibi lamkah duem.

for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.

11 Te dongah tekah duemnah khuiah kun hamla haam uh sih. Te daengah ni althanah moeiboe dongah pakhat khaw amah la a bung pawt eh.

May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall,

12 Te dongah Pathen kah olka tah hing tih khuekcet. cunghang boeih lakah voeivang la haat tih hinglu neh mueihla, rhuhcong neh hliing, duela a thun tih a sah. Thinko poeknah neh hmuhnah khaw khocueh rhamvueh la a khueh.

for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;

13 Amah hmaikah a thuhphah suentae a om moenih. Tedae a cungkuem he a tlingyal neh a mikhmuh ah rha uh coeng. Anih taengah mamih ol te a paek.

and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things [are] naked and open to His eyes — with whom is our reckoning.

14 Khosoihham koek, vaan aka hil la Pathen Capa Jesuh n'khueh uh te olphoei la pom uh sih.

Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens — Jesus the Son of God — may we hold fast the profession,

15 Mamih kah vawtthoeknah aka rhen thai mueh khosoihham n'khueh uh moenih. A cungkuem dongah mamih mueiloh la a noemcai coeng dae tholhnah a khueh moenih.

for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but [one] tempted in all things in like manner — apart from sin;

16 Te dongah lungvatnah ngolkhoel taengah sayalh la paan uh sih. Te daengah ni rhennah n'dang vetih bomnah he tapkhoeh la lungvatnah neh m'hmuh eh.

we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace — for seasonable help.
