¹Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

¹እንግዲህ ወደ ዕረፍቱ ለመግባት ተስፋ ገና ቀርቶልን ከሆነ፥ ምናልባት ከእናንተ ማንም የማይበቃ መስሎ እንዳይታይ እንፍራ።

²For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

²ለእነዚያ ደግሞ እንደ ተነገረ ለእኛ የምስራች ተሰብኮልናልና፤ ዳሩ ግን የሰሙት ቃል ከሰሚዎቹ ጋር በእምነት ስላልተዋሐደ አልጠቀማቸውም።

³For we which 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.

³ሥራው ዓለም ከተፈጠረ ጀምሮ ምንም እንኳ ቢፈጸም። እንዲህ። ወደ ዕረፍቴ አይገቡም ብዬ በቁጣዬ ማልሁ እንዳለ፥ እኛስ ያመንን ወደ ዕረፍቱ እንገባለን።

⁴For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

⁴ስለ ሰባተኛው ቀን በአንድ ስፍራ። እግዚአብሔርም በሰባተኛው ቀን ከሥራው ሁሉ ዐረፈ ብሎአልና፤

⁵And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

⁵በዚህ ስፍራም ደግሞ። ወደ ዕረፍቴ አይገቡም።

⁶Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

⁶እንግዲህ አንዳንዶች በዚያ እንዲገቡ ስለ ቀሩ፥ ቀድሞም የምስራች የተሰበከላቸው ባለመታዘዝ ጠንቅ ስላልገቡ።

⁷Again, 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.

⁷ዛሬ ድምፁን ብትሰሙት ልባችሁን እልከኛ አታድርጉ በፊት እንደ ተባለ፥ ይህን ከሚያህል ዘመን በኋላ በዳዊት ሲናገር። ዛሬ ብሎ አንድ ቀን እንደ ገና ይቀጥራል።

⁸For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

⁸ኢያሱ አሳርፎአቸው ኖሮ ቢሆንስ፥ ከዚያ በኋላ ስለ ሌላ ቀን ባልተናገረ ነበር።

⁹There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

⁹እንግዲያስ የሰንበት ዕረፍት ለእግዚአብሔር ሕዝብ ቀርቶላቸዋል።

¹⁰For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

¹⁰ወደ ዕረፍቱ የገባ፥ እግዚአብሔር ከሥራው እንዳረፈ፥ እርሱ ደግሞ ከሥራው አርፎአልና።

¹¹Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

¹¹እንግዲህ እንደዚያ እንደ አለመታዘዝ ምሳሌ ማንም እንዳይወድቅ ወደዚያ ዕረፍት ለመግባት እንትጋ።

¹²For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged 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.

¹²የእግዚአብሔር ቃል ሕያው ነውና፥ የሚሠራም፥ ሁለትም አፍ ካለው ሰይፍ ሁሉ ይልቅ የተሳለ ነው፥ ነፍስንና መንፈስንም ጅማትንና ቅልጥምንም እስኪለይ ድረስ ይወጋል፥ የልብንም ስሜትና አሳብ ይመረምራል፤

¹³Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

¹³እኛን በሚቆጣጠር በእርሱ ዓይኖቹ ፊት ሁሉ ነገር የተራቆተና የተገለጠ ነው እንጂ፥ በእርሱ ፊት የተሰወረ ፍጥረት የለም።

¹⁴Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

¹⁴እንግዲህ በሰማያት ያለፈ ትልቅ ሊቀ ካህናት የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ኢየሱስ ስላለን፥ ጸንተን ሃይማኖታችንን እንጠብቅ።

¹⁵For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

¹⁵ከኃጢአት በቀር በነገር ሁሉ እንደ እኛ የተፈተነ ነው እንጂ፥ በድካማችን ሊራራልን የማይችል ሊቀ ካህናት የለንም።

¹⁶Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

¹⁶እንግዲህ ምሕረትን እንድንቀበል በሚያስፈልገንም ጊዜ የሚረዳንን ጸጋ እንድናገኝ ወደ ጸጋው ዙፋን በእምነት እንቅረብ።
