Hebrews 3

1 Whence, holy brethren, partners, in a heavenly calling, attentively consider the Apostle and High—priest of our confession—Jesus

Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Emissary and High Priest of our confession: Yeshua,

2 As one, faithful, to him who made him: as, Moses also, in [all] his house.

who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house.

3 For, of more glory than Moses, hath, this one been counted worthy—by as much as more honour than, the house, hath, he that prepared it;

For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honour than the house.

4 For, every house, is prepared by someone, —but, he that hath prepared all things, is, God.

For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

5 Even Moses, indeed, was faithful in all his house, as an attendant, for a witness of the things which were to be spoken;

Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,

6 But, Christ, as, a Son, over his house, —whose house are, we, —if, the freedom of speech and boast of the hope, [throughout, firm, ] we hold fast.

but Messiah is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

7 Wherefore, —according as saith the Holy Spirit—To-day, if, unto his voice ye would hearken, do not

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,

8 harden your hearts, —as in the embitterment, in the day of testing in the desert,

don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

9 When your fathers tested by proving, and saw my works forty years.

where your fathers tested me and tried me, and saw my deeds for forty years.

10 Wherefore I was sore vexed with this generation, and said, Always err they in their heart; —howbeit, they, learned not my ways:

Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways.’

11 So I sware in mine anger—they shall not enter into my rest!—

As I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”

12 Be taking heed, brethren, lest at any time, there shall be in any one of you, a wicked heart of unbelief, in revolting from a Living God.

Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

13 But be exhorting one another, on each successive day, —while the To-day is being named! lest any from among you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For, partners of the Christ, have we become, —if, at least, the beginning of the confidence, throughout, firm, we hold fast:

For we have become partakers of Messiah, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

15 So long as it is said—To-day, if, unto his voice, ye would hearken, do not harden your hearts, —as in the embitterment.

while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”

16 For, who, though they heard, caused embitterment? Nay, indeed! did not all who come forth out of Egypt through Moses?

For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

17 But, with whom, was be sore vexed forty years? Was it not with them who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the desert?

With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

18 But, unto whom, sware he, that they should not enter into his rest, —save unto them who were obstinate?

To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

19 And we see, that they were not able to enter, because of unbelief.

We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.
