¹Bojmo se torej, da se, ko še ostaja obljuba, da pridemo v pokoj njegov, ne vidi, da je kdo izmed vas zaostal.

¹Let us fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.

²Kajti blagovestje smo prejeli mi kakor tudi oni; ali onim ni koristila slišana beseda, ker ni bila združena z vero njih, ki so jo slišali.

²For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.

³Kajti v pokoj prihajamo mi, ki smo vero sprejeli; kakor je rekel: „V jezi svoji sem prisegel: Ne pridejo v pokoj moj!“ In vendar so bila dela Božja končana od ustanovitve sveta;

³For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest”; Psalm 95:11 although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

⁴saj je rekel nekje o sedmem dne tako: „In počival je Bog sedmi dan od vseh del svojih“.

⁴For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works”; Genesis 2:2

⁵In tukaj zopet: „Ne pridejo v pokoj moj“.

⁵and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.” Psalm 95:11

⁶Ker je torej še pričakovati, da pridejo nekateri vanj, in oni, kateri so najprvo prejeli blagovestje, niso prišli vanj zaradi nepokorščine,

⁶Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein, and they to whom the good news was before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

⁷določa zopet neki dan, ko pravi v Davidu „danes“ čez toliko časa, kakor je prej rečeno: „Danes, ko začujete glas njegov, ne zakrknite src svojih“.

⁷he again defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.” Psalm 95:7-8

⁸Kajti ako bi jih bil Jozue vpeljal v pokoj, ne bi potem Bog govoril o drugem dnevu.

⁸For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.

⁹Torej ostaja še sobotni počitek ljudstvu Božjemu.

⁹There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

¹⁰Kajti kdor je prišel v pokoj njegov, počiva tudi sam od svojih del kakor Bog od lastnih.

¹⁰For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

¹¹Prizadenimo si torej, da pridemo v oni pokoj, da ne pade kdo po enakem zgledu nepokorščine.

¹¹Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.

¹²Živa je namreč beseda Božja in krepka in ostrejša nego vsak dvorezen meč, in prodira prav do ločitve duše in duha, členovja in mozga, in je sodnik naklepov in misli srca;

¹²For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

¹³in stvari ni skrite pred njim, temuč vse je golo in razodeto očem njega, ki imamo ž njim opravek.

¹³There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

¹⁴Ker imamo torej tako vzvišenega velikega duhovnika, ki je šel skozi nebesa, Jezusa, Sinu Božjega, držimo se svoje veroizpovedi!

¹⁴Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.

¹⁵Kajti nimamo velikega duhovnika, ki bi ne mogel z nami čutiti slabosti naših, ampak izkušan je v vsem kakor mi, a brez greha.Bližajmo se torej s srčno zaupnostjo prestolu milosti, da dobimo usmiljenje in najdemo milost za pravočasno pomoč.

¹⁵For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

¹⁶Bližajmo se torej s srčno zaupnostjo prestolu milosti, da dobimo usmiljenje in najdemo milost za pravočasno pomoč.

¹⁶Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.
