¹Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

¹Seepärast, pühad vennad, taevase kutsumise osalised, mõtelgem meie usutunnistuse apostli ja ülempreestri Jeesuse peale,

²being stedfast to Him who did appoint him, as also Moses in all his house,

²kes - nagu ka Mooses tema kojas - on olnud ustav oma Ametisseseadjale.

³for of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted worthy, inasmuch as more honour than the house hath he who doth build it,

³Sest tema vääris suuremat kirkust kui Mooses, nii nagu valmistajal on suurem au kui kojal.

⁴for every house is builded by some one, and He who the all things did build [is] God,

⁴Igal kojal on ju oma valmistaja, aga kes kõik on valmistanud, see on Jumal.

⁵and Moses indeed [was] stedfast in all his house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken,

⁵Mooses oli küll ustav kogu tema kojas otsekui sulane tunnistuseks kõigest, mida veel pidi räägitama,

⁶and Christ, as a Son over his house, whose house are we, if the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope unto the end we hold fast.

⁶Kristus on aga tema koja üle kui ustav Poeg. Ja tema koda oleme meie, kui me vaid peame kinni julgusest ja lootusest, mille üle me kiitleme.

⁷Wherefore, (as the Holy Spirit saith, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear —

⁷Seepärast on nõnda, nagu Püha Vaim ütleb: 'Täna, kui teie tema häält kuulete,

⁸ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,

⁸ärge tehke oma südant kõvaks nagu nurina ajal, kiusatusepäeval kõrbes,

⁹in which tempt Me did your fathers, they did prove Me, and saw My works forty years;

⁹kus teie esiisad kiusasid mind proovile pannes, kuigi nad olid minu tegusid näinud nelikümmend aastat.

¹⁰wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways;

¹⁰Seepärast tõusis mu viha selle sugupõlve vastu ja ma ütlesin: Nad aina eksivad oma südames, aga minu teid nad ei ole ära tundnud.

¹¹so I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest — !`)

¹¹Nii ma vandusin oma vihas: Nad ei saa minu hingamisse!'

¹²See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,

¹²Vaadake, vennad, kas ehk kellelgi teie seast ei ole kuri süda, mis uskmatuses ära taganeb elavast Jumalast!

¹³but exhort ye one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin,

¹³Pigem julgustagem üksteist iga päev, niikaua kui veel öeldakse 'täna', et keegi teist ei paaduks patu pettuse läbi!

¹⁴for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast,

¹⁴Me oleme ju saanud Kristuse osalisteks, kui me vaid lõpuni kinni peame sellest, mis meil alguses oli.

¹⁵in its being said, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation,`

¹⁵Selles ütlemises: 'Täna, kui teie tema häält kuulete, ärge tehke oma südant kõvaks nagu nurina ajal' -

¹⁶for certain having heard did provoke, but not all who did come out of Egypt through Moses;

¹⁶kes siis olid need kuuljad, kes nurisesid? Eks ju kõik need, kes olid Egiptusest välja läinud Moosese juhtimisel?

¹⁷but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

¹⁷Aga kelle peale ta viha tõusis neljakümneks aastaks? Eks nende peale, kes patustasid, kelle kehad langesid kõrbes surnuna?

¹⁸and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? —

¹⁸Aga kellele ta siis vandus, et nemad ei saa tema hingamisse, kui mitte neile, kes olid sõnakuulmatud?

¹⁹and we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

¹⁹Nii me näeme, et nad ei võinud sisse pääseda oma uskmatuse pärast.
