Hebræos 4
1 Timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introeundi in requiem eius, existimetur aliquis ex nobis deesse.
We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, anyone of you may seem to have come short,
2 Etenim et nobis nunciatum est, quemadmodum et illis. sed non profuit illis sermo auditus, non admistus fidei ex iis, quae audierunt.
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 Ingrediemur enim in requiem, qui credidimus: quemadmodum dixit: Quibus iuravi in ira mea: Si introibunt in requiem meam: et quidem operibus ab institutione mundi perfectis.
for we enter into the rest—we who believed, as He said, “So I swore in My anger, They will [not] enter into My rest”; and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,
4 Dixit enim in quodam loco de die septima sic: Et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis.
for He spoke in a certain place concerning the seventh [day] thus: “And God rested in the seventh day from all His works”;
5 Et in isto rursum: Si introibunt in requiem meam.
and in this [place] again, “They will [not] enter into My rest”;
6 Quoniam ergo superest introire quosdam in illam, et ii, quibus prioribus annunciatum est, non introierunt propter incredulitatem:
since then, it remains for some to enter into it, and those who first heard good news did not enter in because of unbelief—
7 iterum terminat diem quendam, Hodie, in David dicendo, post tantum temporis, sicut supra dictum est: Hodie si vocem eius audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra.
again He limits a certain day, “Today,” in David saying, after so long a time, as it has been said, “Today, if you may hear His voice, you may not harden your hearts,”
8 Nam si eis Iesus requiem praestitisset, numquam de alia loqueretur, posthac, die.
for if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken after these things concerning another day;
9 Itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei.
there remains, then, a Sabbath rest to the people of God,
10 Qui enim ingressus est in requiem eius: etiam ipse requievit ab operibus suis, sicut a suis Deus.
for he who entered into His rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.
11 Festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem: ut ne in idipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum.
May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one may fall in the same example of the unbelief,
12 Vivus est enim sermo Dei, et efficax, et penetrabilior omni gladio ancipiti: et pertingens usque ad divisionem animae ac spiritus, compagum quoque ac medullarum, et discretor cogitationum et intentionum cordis.
for the Word of God is living, and working, and sharper—beyond every two-edged sword—and piercing as far as [the] division of soul and spirit, of joints and also marrows, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;
13 Et non est ulla creatura invisibilis in conspectu eius: omnia enim nuda et aperta sunt oculis eius, ad quem nobis sermo.
and there is not a created thing hidden before Him, but all things [are] naked and open to His eyes—with whom is our reckoning.
14 Habentes ergo pontificem magnum, qui penetravit caelos, Iesum Filium Dei: teneamus spei nostrae confessionem.
Having, then, a great Chief Priest having passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—may we hold fast the profession,
15 Non enim habemus pontificem, qui non possit compati infirmitatibus nostris: tentatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato.
for we do not have a Chief Priest unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but [One] tempted in all things in like manner, [yet] without sin;
16 Adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiae eius: ut misericordiam consequamur, et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio opportuno.
we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace—for seasonable help.
