¹[Fampitahana an'i Kristy sy Mosesy] Koa amin'izany, ry rahalahy masina, mpiombona ny fiantsoana avy any an-danitra, hevero ny Apostoly sy Mpisoronabe Izay ekentsika, dia Jesosy,

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

²Izay mahatoky ny nanendry Ary, tahaka an'i Mosesy koa tao amin'ny tranon'Andriamanitra rehetra. [Izahao Nom. 12. 7]

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

³Fa Izy dia natao miendrika hanam-boninahitra noho Mosesy, araka ny ananan'ny mpanao trano voninahitra bebe kokoa noho ny trano nataony.

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,

⁴Fa ny trano rehetra dia samy nisy mpanao azy; fa Izay nanao ny zavatra rehetra kosa dia Andriamanitra.

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

⁵Ary Mosesy dia mpanompo nahatoky tao amin'ny tranon'Andriamanitra rehetra, ho fanambarana izay zavatra mbola holazaina;

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

⁶fa Kristy kosa dia Zanaka manapaka ny tranon'Andriamanitra; ary isika no tranony, raha hazonintsika mafy hatramin'ny farany ny fahasahiana sy ny firavoravoana momba ny fanantenana.

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.

⁷Koa araka izay lazain'ny Fanahy Masina hoe: "Anio, raha hihaino ny feony ianareo,

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

⁸Aza manamafy ny fonareo tahaka ny tamin'ny fahasosorana, tamin'ny andro fakam-panahy tany an-efitra,

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

⁹Izay nakan'ny razanareo fanahy Ahy tamin'ny nizahany toetra Ahy, Ary nahita ny asako efa-polo taona izy.

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

¹⁰Koa tezitra tamin'izany taranaka izany Aho Ka nanao hoe: Ireo dia maniasia amin'ny fony mandrakariva Ka tsy nahalala ny lalako;

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

¹¹Ary araka izany no nianianako tamin'ny fahatezerako hoe: Tsy hiditra amin'ny fitsaharako mihitsy izy" (Sal. 95.7-11).

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

¹²Tandremo, ry rahalahy, fandrao hisy aminareo hanana fo ratsy tsy mino ka hiala amin'Andriamanitra velona;

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

¹³fa mifananara isan'andro, raha mbola atao hoe "Anio"; fandrao hisy aminareo ho tonga mafy fo noho ny famitahan'ny ota.

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,

¹⁴Fa efa tonga mpiombona amin'i Kristy isika, raha mihazona mafy ny fiandohan'ny fahatokiantsika hatramin'ny farany;

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

¹⁵raha atao hoe: "Anio, raha hihaino ny feony ianareo, Aza manamafy ny fonareo tahaka ny tamin'ny fahasosorana." (Sal. 95 7, 8).

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

¹⁶Fa iza moa no nahatezitra Azy, rehefa nandre? Tsy izay rehetra nentin'i Mosesy niala tany Egypta va?

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

¹⁷Ary iza no nahatezitra Azy efa-polo taona? Tsy izay nanota va, ka dia niampatrampatra tany an-efitra ny fatiny?

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

¹⁸Ary iza no nianianany fa tsy hiditra any amin'ny fitsaharany, afa-tsy izay tsy nanaiky?Ka dia hitantsika fa tsy nahazo niditra izy ireo noho ny tsi-finoany.

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

¹⁹Ka dia hitantsika fa tsy nahazo niditra izy ireo noho ny tsi-finoany.

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