¹¶ Na, e oku teina tapu, e te hunga kua uru nei ki ta te rangi karanga, whakaaroa a Ihu Karaiti, te Apotoro, te Tohunga nui o te tikanga kua whakaaetia nei e tatou;

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

²I pono nei ki tona kaiwhakarite mai, i pera ano me Mohi i tona whare katoa.

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

³I tika hoki kia nui ake te kororia mo tenei tangata i to Mohi, no te mea nui ake i to te whare te honore o te kaihanga.

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,

⁴He mea hanga hoki na tetahi nga whare katoa; ko te Atua ia te kaihanga o nga mea katoa.

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

⁵A i pono ano a Mohi i roto i tona whare katoa, i pera me te pononga, hei whakaatu mo nga mea ka korerotia i muri;

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

⁶Ko te Karaiti ia i rite ki te tama i tona whare ano; ko tona whare tonu hoki tatou, ki te u to tatou maia me te whakamanamana ki te mea e tumanakohia atu nei, a taea noatia te mutunga.

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.

⁷¶ Na, kia rite ki ta te Wairua Tapu i mea ai, Ki te rongo koutou ki tona reo aianei,

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

⁸Kaua e whakapakeketia o koutou ngakau, kei pera me o te whakatoinga, i te ra o te whakamatautauranga i te koraha:

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

⁹I ahau i whakamatautauria e o koutou matua, i ahau i ata mohiotia, e wha tekau nga tau i kite ai ratou i aku mahi.

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

¹⁰Na, ka hoha ahau ki taua whakatupuranga, ka mea, Kotiti ke tonu o ratou ngakau; kahore ratou e mohio ki aku ara.

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

¹¹Na reira i riri ai ahau, i oati ai hoki, E kore ratou e tae ki toku okiokinga.

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

¹²Kia tupato, e oku teina, kei noho te ngakau kino, whakaponokore i roto i tetahi o koutou; kei whakarerea te Atua ora;

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

¹³Engari me whakahau koutou tetahi i tetahi i tenei ra, i tenei ra, i te mea e kiia ana ko tenei ra, kei whakapakeketia tetahi o koutou e te tinihanga o te hara.

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,

¹⁴Ka uru hoki tatou ki ta te Karaiti, ki te mea ka mau i a tatou te timatanga o te whakaaro pumau, taea noatia te mutunga;

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

¹⁵I te mea hoki e korerotia ana, Ki te rongo koutou ki tona reo aianei, kaua e whakapakeketia o koutou ngakau, kei pera me o te whakatoinga.

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

¹⁶Ko wai hoki i whakatoi i to ratou rongonga? he teka ianei ko te hunga katoa i haere mai i Ihipa, a Mohi i arahi ra?

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

¹⁷I riri hoki ia ki a wai i nga tau e wha tekau? he teka ianei ki te hunga i hara, i hinga ra o ratou tinana ki te koraha?

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

¹⁸I oati ano ia ki a wai, e kore ratou e tae ki tona okiokinga? he teka ianei ki te hunga kihai nei i whakapono?

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

¹⁹Na ka kite nei tatou kihai ratou i ahei te tae atu i te kore o te whakapono.

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