¹Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

¹Zatorej, bratje sveti, poklica nebeškega deležni, pazljivo glejte na poslanca in velikega duhovnika naše veroizpovedi, Jezusa,

²Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

²ki je zvest njemu, ki ga je naredil, kakor je bil tudi Mojzes zvest v vsej hiši njegovi.

³For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

³Večje slave namreč je bil ta za vrednega spoznan od Mojzesa, v kolikor ima večjo čast od hiše tisti, ki jo je napravil.

⁴For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

⁴Kajti vsako hišo napravi kdo; on pa, ki je vse napravil, je Bog.

⁵And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

⁵In Mojzes je bil zvest v vsej hiši njegovi kakor služabnik, v pričanje tistega, kar se je imelo pozneje oznanjati;

⁶But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

⁶Kristus pa je zvest kakor sin, vladajoč hiši svoji; čigar hiša smo mi, ako srčno zaupnost in hvalo upanja ohranimo trdno do konca.

⁷Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

⁷Zatorej, kakor govori sveti Duh: „Danes, ko začujete glas njegov,

⁸Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

⁸ne zakrknite src svojih, kakor v razdražbi ob dnevi izkušnjave v puščavi,

⁹When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

⁹kjer so me izkušali očetje vaši s preizkušanjem in gledali dela moja štirideset let.

¹⁰Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

¹⁰Zato sem se razsrdil nad tem rodom in rekel: Vedno tavajo v srcu; ali oni niso spoznali potov mojih,

¹¹So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

¹¹tako da sem prisegel v jezi svoji: Ne pridejo v pokoj moj!“

¹²Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

¹²Glejte, bratje, da ne bode v kom izmed vas hudobnega srca nevere, ki odpade od Boga živega:

¹³But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

¹³marveč opominjate se vsak dan, dokler se še kliče „danes“, da ne zakrkne kdo izmed vas vsled prevare greha.

¹⁴For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

¹⁴Kajti postali smo sodeležniki Kristusa, ako le začetek zaupanja trdno ohranimo do konca;

¹⁵While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

¹⁵dokler se pravi: „Danes, ko začujete glas njegov, ne zakrknite src svojih kakor v razdražbi“.

¹⁶For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

¹⁶Kajti kdo so bili tisti, ki so slišali in napravili razdražbo? Ne li pa vsi, ki so izšli iz Egipta po Mojzesu?

¹⁷But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

¹⁷Nad katerimi pa se je srdil štirideset let? Mar ne nad njimi, ki so bili grešili, ki so jim telesa popadala v puščavi?

¹⁸And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

¹⁸Katerim pa je prisegel, da ne pridejo v pokoj njegov, če ne njim, ki so bili nepokorni?In vidimo, da niso mogli priti vanj zaradi nevere.

¹⁹So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

¹⁹In vidimo, da niso mogli priti vanj zaradi nevere.
