¹ስለዚህ፥ ከሰማያዊው ጥሪ ተካፋዮች የሆናችሁ ቅዱሳን ወንድሞች ሆይ፥ የሃይማኖታችንን ሐዋርያና ሊቀ ካህናት ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስን ተመልከቱ፤

¹Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,

²ሙሴ ደግሞ በቤቱ ሁሉ የታመነ እንደሆነ፥ እርሱ ለሾመው የታመነ ነበረ።

²who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house.

³ቤትን የሚያዘጋጀው ከቤቱ ይልቅ የሚበልጥ ክብር እንዳለው መጠን፥ እንዲሁ እርሱ ከሙሴ ይልቅ የሚበልጥ ክብር የተገባው ሆኖ ተቆጥሮአልና።

³For *he* has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house.

⁴እያንዳንዱ ቤት በአንድ ሰው ተዘጋጅቶአልና፥ ሁሉን ያዘጋጀ ግን እግዚአብሔር ነው።

⁴For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things [is] God.

⁵ሙሴስ በኋላ ስለሚነገረው ነገር ምስክር ሊሆን በቤቱ ሁሉ እንደ ሎሌ የታመነ ነበረ፥ ክርስቶስ ግን እንደ ልጅ በቤቱ ላይ የታመነ ነው፤

⁵And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after;

⁶እኛም የምንደፍርበትን የምንመካበትንም ተስፋ እስከ መጨረሻው አጽንተን ብንጠብቅ ቤቱ ነን።

⁶but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are *we*, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.

⁷ስለዚህ መንፈስ ቅዱስ እንደሚል።

⁷Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,

⁸ዛሬ ድምፁን ብትሰሙት፥ አባቶቻችሁ እኔን የፈተኑበት የመረመሩበትም አርባ ዓመትም ሥራዬን ያዩበት በምድረ በዳ በፈተና ቀን በማስመረር እንደ ሆነ፥ ልባችሁን እልከኛ አታድርጉ።

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

¹⁰ስለዚህ ያን ትውልድ ተቆጥቼ። ዘወትር በልባቸው ይስታሉ መንገዴን ግን አላወቁም አልሁ፤

⁹where your fathers tempted [me], by proving [me], and saw my works forty years.

¹¹እንዲሁ። ወደ ዕረፍቴ አይገቡም ብዬ በቍጣዬ ማልሁ።

¹⁰Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and *they* have not known my ways;

¹²ወንድሞች ሆይ፥ ምናልባት ሕያው እግዚአብሔርን የሚያስክዳችሁ ክፉና የማያምን ልብ ከእናንተ በአንዳችሁ እንዳይኖር ተጠንቀቁ፤

¹¹so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.

¹³ነገር ግን ከእናንተ ማንም በኃጢአት መታለል እልከኛ እንዳይሆን፥ ዛሬ ተብሎ ሲጠራ ሳለ፥ በእያንዳንዱ ቀን እርስ በርሳችሁ ተመካከሩ፤

¹²See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from [the] living God.

¹⁴የመጀመሪያ እምነታችንን እስከ መጨረሻው አጽንተን ብንጠብቅ፥ የክርስቶስ ተካፋዮች ሆነናልና፤

¹³But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

¹⁵እየተባለ። ዛሬ ድምጹን ብትሰሙት፥ በማስመረር እንደሆነ ልባችሁን እልከኛ አታድርጉ።

¹⁴For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end;

¹⁶ሰምተው ያስመረሩት እነማን ነበሩ? በሙሴ ተመርተው ከግብጽ የወጡ ሁሉ አይደሉምን?

¹⁵in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;

¹⁷አርባ አመትም የተቆጣባቸው እነማን ነበሩ? ሬሳቸው በምድረ በዳ የወደቀ፥ ኃጢአትን ያደረጉት እነርሱ አይደሉምን?

¹⁶(for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [was it] not all who came out of Egypt by Moses?

¹⁸ካልታዘዙትም በቀር ወደ እረፍቱ እንዳይገቡ የማለባቸው እነማን ነበሩ?

¹⁷And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

¹⁹ባለማመናቸውም ጠንቅ ሊገቡ እንዳልተቻላቸው እናያለን።

¹⁸And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?

¹⁹And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief;)
