ヘブル人への手紙 4
1 然れば我等の懼るべきは、或は其安息に入の御約束を措きて、汝等の中に之に達せざる者ありとせらるる事是なり。
Let us therefore fear, lest at any time, although there is left behind a promise of entering into his rest, —any one from amongst you should be deemed, to have come short;
2 其は我等が福の音を得たること彼等と等しけれども、彼等が聞きし話の其身に益せざりしは、聞ける人々に於て信仰に合せざりし故なり。
For we have had delivered to us the joyful message, just as even, they; but the word which was heard did not profit them, they not having been blended, by faith, with the things heard.
3 蓋信じたる我等は安息に入るべき者なり、曾て、「我怒りて彼等は我安息に入らじと誓えり」、と曰ひしが如し。抑其安息は、開闢の事業の成就せし時より成れり。
For we who have believed, are to enter into the rest, according as he hath said—So I sware in mine anger, They shall not enter into my rest; And yet, the works, from the foundation of the world, had been brought into existence,
4 蓋或篇に七日目に就きて曰く、「神七日目に其凡ての事業を息み給へり」と、
For he hath spoken, somewhere, concerning the seventh [day], thus—And God rested, on the seventh day, from all his works;
5 又此篇に曰はく、「彼等は我安息に入らじ」と。
And in this again—They shall not enter into my rest.
6 然れば彼安息に入るべき人々尚在りて、前に福の音を得し人々、不信仰によりて之等に入らざりしが故に、
Seeing, therefore, that it is left over for, some, to enter into it, and, they who formerly had delivered to them the joyful message, entered not in by reason of obstinacy, —
7 神は斯の如く久しきを経て、ダヴィドを以て更に「今日」と云ふ日を定め給ひしなり。即ち「汝等今日其聲を聞かば、心を頑固にすること勿れ」、と既に謂はれしが如し。
Again, he marketh out a certain day, To-day, in David, saying—after so long a time as this, —according as it hath been said before: —To-day, if, unto his voice, ye would hearken, do not harden your hearts.
8 蓋若ヨズエにして彼等に安息を得しめしならば、神は尚其後他の日を指して曰ふ事なかりしならん。
For, if, unto them, Joshua had given rest, it had not in that case, concerning another day, been speaking, after, these things.
9 然れば神の民に殘れる安息あり、
Hence there is, left over, a Sabbath-keeping, for the people of God.
10 其は神の安息に入りたる人も、恰も神の己が事業を息み給ひしが如く、自ら事業を息みたればなり。
For, he that hath entered into his rest, He too, hath rested from his works, just as, from his own, God, [rested].
11 是故に彼不信仰の例に倣ひて堕落する者なからん為に、我等は急ぎて此安息に入る事を努むべきなり。
Let us, therefore, give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall into the same example, of obstinacy.
12 蓋神の御言は活きて効能あり、所有兩刃の剣よりも鋭くして、霊魂と精神と、又関節と骨髄との境に達し、心の思と志とを分つ。
For, living, is the word of God, and, energetic, and more cutting than any knife with two edges, and penetrating as far as a dividing asunder of soul and spirit, of joints also, and marrow, and able to judge the impulses and designs of the heart;
13 又凡て被造物として神の御前に見えざるはなく、其御目前には萬物赤裸にして露なり、我等は必ず其審判を受くべし。
And there is, no created thing, can be secreted before him, but, all things, are naked and exposed to his eyes: —as to whom is, our discourse.
14 第一款 キリストは其御身を以て舊約の司祭に優り給ふ 第二項 舊新兩約に於る司祭職の比較 然れば我等は、天に入り給ひたる偉いなる大司祭、即ち神の御子イエズスを有するが故に、堅く[信仰の]宣言を保つべきなり。
Having then a great high-priest who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession;
15 其は我等が有せる大司祭は、我等の弱點を勞り得給はざる者に非ずして、罪を除くの外、萬事に於て、我等と同じく試みられ給へる者なればなり。
For we have not a high-priest unable to have fellow-feeling with our weaknesses, but one tested in all respects, by way of likeness, apart from sin.
16 故に我等は慈悲を蒙らん為、又適切なる助となるべき恩寵を見出さん為に、憚りなく恩寵の玉座に至り奉るべし。
Let us, then, be approaching with freedom of speech, unto the throne of favour, that we may receive mercy, and, favour, may find, for seasonable succour.
