Hebræos 4
1 Timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introeundi in requiem eius, existimetur aliquis ex nobis deesse.
Let us therefore fear, lest a promise being left [us] of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 Etenim et nobis nunciatum est, quemadmodum et illis. sed non profuit illis sermo auditus, non admistus fidei ex iis, quae audierunt.
For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it].
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 who have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished 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 of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God rested the seventh day from all his works.
5 Et in isto rursum: Si introibunt in requiem meam.
And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Quoniam ergo superest introire quosdam in illam, et ii, quibus prioribus annunciatum est, non introierunt propter incredulitatem:
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter into it, and they to whom it was first preached entered not 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 limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To-day, after so long a time; as it is said, To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 Nam si eis Iesus requiem praestitisset, numquam de alia loqueretur, posthac, die.
For if Jesus had given them rest, then he would not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 Itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei.
There remaineth therefore a 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 that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his.)
11 Festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem: ut ne in idipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum.
Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of 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 powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the 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.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Habentes ergo pontificem magnum, qui penetravit caelos, Iesum Filium Dei: teneamus spei nostrae confessionem.
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.
15 Non enim habemus pontificem, qui non possit compati infirmitatibus nostris: tentatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato.
For we have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but who was in all points tempted as [we are], [yet] without sin.
16 Adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiae eius: ut misericordiam consequamur, et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio opportuno.
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
