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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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