¹ Yàlla dige na ne, dina am ñu dugg ca noflaayam. Kon ndegam dige boobu mi ngi taxaw ba tey, moytuleen ba kenn ci yéen réer ba du dugg ci noflaay boobu.

¹We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short,

² Nun jot nanu xebaar bu baax bi ni ñoom, waaye kàddu, ga ñu déggoon, jariñu leen dara, ndaxte boolewuñu ci ngëm, ba ñu koy déglu.

²for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,

³ Nun ñi gëm nag nooy dugg ci noflaayam, ni ko Mbind mi waxe:«Giñ naa kon ci sama mer ne:“Duñu dugg mukk ci sama noflaay,”» doonte sax liggéeyam bépp matoon na, ca ba mu sàkkee àddina ak léegi. Ci lu jëm ci juróom-ñaareelu fan ba,

³for we do enter into the rest — we who did believe, as He said, `So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest — ;` and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,

⁴ am na fu ñu wax ci Mbind mi ne:«Yàlla noppalu na ci liggéeyam béppca juróom-ñaareelu fan ba.»

⁴for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh [day] thus: `And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;`

⁵ Te it waxoon na ci baat yi nu jot a lim ba noppi:«Duñu dugg mukk ci sama noflaay.»

⁵and in this [place] again, `If they shall enter into My rest — ;`

⁶ Kon am na ñu ci war a dugg ba tey. Te ñi jëkkoon a jot xebaar bu baax bi, dugguñu ci ndax seen déggadi.

⁶since then, it remaineth for certain to enter into it, and those who did first hear good news entered not in because of unbelief —

⁷ Noonu ay ati at gannaaw ga, Yàlla àppaat na beneen bés, def ko «tey jii,» bi mu waxee ci gémmiñu Daawuda ci baat yii ñu jot a lim:«Bu ngeen déggee tey jii baatu Yàlla bi,buleen dëgër bopp.»

⁷again He doth limit a certain day, `To-day,` (in David saying, after so long a time,) as it hath been said, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts,`

⁸ Su Yosuwe duggaloon sunu maam ya ca noflaayu Yàlla ba, kon gannaaw gi Yàlla du wax dara ci lu jëm ci beneen bés.

⁸for if Joshua had given them rest, He would not concerning another day have spoken after these things;

⁹ Kon ba tey Yàllaa ngi dencal ay gaayam noflaay bu nirook noflaayu Yàlla ca juróom-ñaareelu fan ba.

⁹there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,

¹⁰ Ndaxte képp ku mas a dugg ca noflaayu Yàlla, noppalu na ci ay jëfam ni Yàlla.

¹⁰for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.

¹¹ Nanu farlu boog, ngir dugg ci noflaay boobu, ba kenn bañ a déggadi, ba daanu ni maam ya ca màndiŋ ma.

¹¹May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall,

¹² Xam nanu ne, kàddug Yàlla mi ngi dund te am na doole. Moo gën a ñaw jaasiy ñaari boor. Day dagg ba fa xol ak xel digaloo, ba fa yax yi ak yuq gi di teqalikoo, te man na àtte xalaat yi ak mébéti xol.

¹²for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;

¹³ Te itam amul mbindeef mu man a nëbbu Yàlla, waaye lépp a ubbiku, ba ne fàŋŋ ci bëti ki nu war a àtte.

¹³and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things [are] naked and open to His eyes — with whom is our reckoning.

¹⁴ Gannaaw am nanu saraxalekat bu mag-a-mag bu àgg ba ca kanam Yàlla, di Yeesu Doomu Yàlla ji, nanu jàpp bu dëgër yoon wi nu gëm.

¹⁴Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens — Jesus the Son of God — may we hold fast the profession,

¹⁵ Saraxalekat bu mag bi nu am, du ku mënul a bokk ak nun sunuy naqar; moom sax far jaar na ci nattu ni nun ci bépp fànn, waaye deful bàkkaar.

¹⁵for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but [one] tempted in all things in like manner — apart from sin;

¹⁶ Kon nag nanu am kóolute ci jege jalu Yàlla bu yiw ba, ngir jot yërmandeem ak yiwam, ngir mu wallu nu fu soxla taxawe.

¹⁶we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace — for seasonable help.
