Hepelū 4

1 Ko ia ketau manavahē, telia, ʻi he tuku mai ʻae talaʻofa ʻoe hū ki hono mālōlōʻanga, ʻe ai hamou tokotaha ʻe tomui ki ai.

Let vs feare therefore, least at any time by forsaking the promise of entring into his rest, any of you should seeme to be depriued.

2 He kuo fakahā ʻae ongoongolelei kiate kitautolu, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu: ka ko e fanongo ki he folofola naʻe ʻikai ʻaonga kiate kinautolu, ko e ʻikai ke felingiʻaki ia ʻae tui ʻekinautolu naʻe fanongo.

For vnto vs was the Gospel preached as also vnto them: but the worde that they heard, profited not them, because it was not mixed with faith in those that heard it.

3 He ko kitautolu ʻoku tui kuo tau hū ki he mālōlōʻanga, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola, “Kuo u fuakava ʻi heʻeku houhau, E ʻikai te nau hū ki hoku mālōlōʻanga:” ka kuo fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi ngaue talu ʻae fakatupu ʻo māmani.

For we which haue beleeued, doe enter into rest, as he said to the other, As I haue sworne in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the workes were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 He naʻe lea pehē ʻe ia ʻi he potu ʻe taha ki hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, “Pea naʻe mālōlō ʻae ʻOtua ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho mei heʻene ngaue kotoa pē.”

For he spake in a certaine place of the seuenth day on this wise, And God did rest the seuenth day from all his workes.

5 Pea mo eni foki, “E ʻikai te nau hū ki hoku mālōlōʻanga.”

And in this place againe, If they shall enter into my rest.

6 Ko ia koeʻuhi kuo pau ʻe hū ki ai ʻae niʻihi, pea naʻe ʻikai hū ʻakinautolu naʻe tomuʻa malanga ia ki ai, ko e meʻa ʻi he taʻetui:

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter thereinto, and they to whom it was first preached, entred not therein for vnbeliefes sake:

7 (Pea toe kotofa ʻe ia ʻae ʻaho ʻe taha, ʻo pehē mai ʻia Tevita, “Ko e ʻaho ni,” ʻi he hili ʻae ngaahi taʻu lahi; ʻo hangē ko hono fakahā, “Ko e ʻaho ni, ʻo kapau te mou fanongo ki hono leʻo, ʻoua naʻa fakafefeka homou loto.”

Againe he appointed in Dauid a certaine day, by To day, after so long a time, saying, as it is sayd, This day, if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts.

8 He ka ne foaki ʻe Siosiua, ʻae mālōlōʻanga kiate kinautolu, pehē, ʻe ʻikai folofola ia ki mui ki ha ʻaho kehe.

For if Iesus had giuen them rest, then would he not after this haue spoke of an other day.

9 Ko ia ʻoku kei toe ʻae mālōlōʻanga fakaSāpate ki he kakai ʻae ʻOtua.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

10 He ko ia kuo hū ki hono mālōlōʻanga, kuo mālōlō foki ʻe ia mei heʻene ngaue ʻaʻana, ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtua mei heʻene [ngaue].)

For he that is entred into his rest, hath also ceased from his owne works, as God did from his.

11 Ko ia ke tau fai feinga ke hū ki he mālōlōʻanga ko ia, telia naʻa ai ha taha ʻe hinga ʻi he fai ʻo fakatatau ki he taʻetui ko ia.

Let vs studie therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same ensample of disobedience.

12 He ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku moʻui, mo mālohi, pea māsila lahi ʻi ha heletā ʻoku fakatoumata, ʻoku ʻasi ki hono vaheʻi ʻoe loto mo e laumālie, mo e ngaahi hokotanga hui mo e uho, pea ʻoku ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi mahalo mo e filioʻi ʻoe loto.

For the worde of God is liuely, and mightie in operation, and sharper then any two edged sword, and entreth through, euen vnto the diuiding asunder of the soule and the spirit, and of the ioints, and the marow, and is a discerner of the thoughtes, and the intents of the heart.

13 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku taʻehāmai ʻi hono ʻao: ka ʻoku telefua pea tokaimaʻananga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ki he fofonga ʻo ia ʻaia te tau fakamaau ki ai.

Neither is there any creature, which is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and open vnto his eyes, with whome we haue to doe.

14 Ko ia ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻaia kuo hū atu ʻi he langi, ko Sisu ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ke tau puke maʻu ʻa ʻetau lotu.

Seeing then that wee haue a great hie Priest, which is entred into heauen, euen Iesus the Sonne of God, let vs holde fast our profession.

15 He ʻoku ʻikai ke tau maʻu ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki ʻoku taʻemanavaʻofa ki heʻetau ngaahi vaivai; ka naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi tatau pe ia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ka naʻe ʻikai haʻane angahala.

For we haue not an hie Priest, which can not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all things tempted in like sort, yet without sinne.

16 Ko ia ke tau haʻu mālohi ai ki he ʻafioʻanga ʻoe ʻaloʻofa, koeʻuhi ke tau maʻu ʻae ʻaloʻofa, pea ʻilo mo e foaki ʻofa, ke tokoni mai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ʻaonga ai.

Let vs therefore goe boldly vnto ye throne of grace, that we may receiue mercy, and finde grace to helpe in time of neede.
