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

¹Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;

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

²who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses 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 more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house.

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

⁴For every house is built by someone; but he who 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፤

⁵Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,

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

⁶but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

⁷ስለዚህ መንፈስ ቅዱስ እንደሚል።

⁷Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you 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።

⁸don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

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

⁹where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my works for forty years.

¹¹እንዲሁ። ወደ ዕረፍቴ አይገቡም ብዬ በቍጣዬ ማልሁ።

¹⁰Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways;’

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

¹¹as I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’” Psalm 95:7-11

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

¹²Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

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

¹³but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

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

¹⁴For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:

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

¹⁵while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.” Psalm 95:7-8

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

¹⁶For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn’t all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?

¹⁸ካልታዘዙትም በቀር ወደ እረፍቱ እንዳይገቡ የማለባቸው እነማን ነበሩ?

¹⁷With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

¹⁹ባለማመናቸውም ጠንቅ ሊገቡ እንዳልተቻላቸው እናያለን።

¹⁸To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

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