Hebrews 4
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you might seem to have failed [of it].
Timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introëundi in requiem ejus, existimetur aliquis ex vobis deesse.
2 For indeed we have had glad tidings presented to us, even as they also; but the word of the report did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard.
Etenim et nobis nuntiatum est, quemadmodum et illis: sed non profuit illis sermo auditus, non admistus fidei ex iis quæ audierunt.
3 For we enter into the rest who have believed; as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest; although the works had been completed from [the] foundation of [the] world.
Ingrediemur enim in requiem, qui credidimus: quemadmodum dixit: Sicut juravi in ira mea: Si introibunt in requiem meam: et quidem operibus ab institutione mundi perfectis.
4 For he has said somewhere of the seventh [day] thus, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works:
Dixit enim in quodam loco de die septima sic: Et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis.
5 and in this again, If they shall enter into my rest.
Et in isto rursum: Si introibunt in requiem meam.
6 Seeing therefore it remains that some enter into it, and those who first received the glad tidings did not enter in on account of not hearkening to the word,
Quoniam ergo superest introire quosdam in illam, et ii, quibus prioribus annuntiatum est, non introierunt propter incredulitatem:
7 again he determines a certain day, saying, in David, 'To-day,' after so long a time; (according as it has been said before), To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
iterum terminat diem quemdam, Hodie, in David dicendo, post tantum temporis, sicut supra dictum est: Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra.
8 For if Jesus had brought them into rest, he would not have spoken afterwards about another day.
Nam si eis Jesus requiem præstitisset, numquam de alia loqueretur, posthac, die.
9 There remains then a sabbatism to the people of God.
Itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei.
10 For he that has entered into his rest, he also has rested from his works, as God did from his own.
Qui enim ingressus est in requiem ejus, etiam ipse requievit ab operibus suis, sicut a suis Deus.
11 Let us therefore use diligence to enter into that rest, that no one may fall after the same example of not hearkening to the word.
Festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem: ut ne in idipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum.
12 For the word of God [is] living and operative, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and penetrating to [the] division of soul and spirit, both of joints and marrow, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of [the] heart.
Vivus est enim sermo Dei, et efficax et penetrabilior omni gladio ancipiti: et pertingens usque ad divisionem animæ ac spiritus: compagum quoque ac medullarum, et discretor cogitationum et intentionum cordis.
13 And there is not a creature unapparent before him; but all things [are] naked and laid bare to his eyes, with whom we have to do.
Et non est ulla creatura invisibilis in conspectu ejus: omnia autem nuda et aperta sunt oculis ejus, ad quem nobis sermo.
14 Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession.
Habentes ergo pontificem magnum qui penetravit cælos, Jesum Filium Dei, teneamus confessionem.
15 For we have not a high priest not able to sympathise with our infirmities, but tempted in all things in like manner, sin apart.
Non enim habemus pontificem qui non possit compati infirmitatibus nostris: tentatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato.
16 Let us approach therefore with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for seasonable help.
Adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiæ: ut misericordiam consequamur, et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio opportuno.
