Hebrews 3
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Moses a Servant, Christ a Son
3 Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession. 2 He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in[a] God’s house. 3 Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house. 4 (For every house is built by some one, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ was faithful over God’s[b] house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope.[c]
Warning against Unbelief
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
“Today, when you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
on the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers put me to the test
and saw my works for forty years.
10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
and said, ‘They always go astray in their hearts;
they have not known my ways.’
11 As I swore in my wrath,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’”[d]
12 Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end, 15 while it is said,
“Today, when you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
16 Who were they that heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that they should never enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.

Hebreo 3
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Mas Dakila si Jesus kaysa kay Moises
3 Kaya nga mga kapatid ko sa pananampalataya, at mga kapwa ko na tinawag ng Dios na makakasama sa langit, alalahanin nʼyo si Jesus. Siya ang apostol at punong pari ng ating pananampalataya. 2 Tapat siya sa Dios na nagsugo sa kanya, katulad ni Moises na naging tapat sa pamamahala ng pamilya ng Dios. 3 Ngunit itinuring ng Dios si Jesus na higit kaysa kay Moises, dahil kung ihahalintulad sa bahay, higit ang karangalan ng nagtayo kaysa sa bahay na itinayo. 4 Alam natin na may gumawa ng bawat bahay. Ngunit[a] ang Dios ang gumawa ng lahat ng bagay. 5 Tapat si Moises sa pamamahala niya sa pamilya ng Dios bilang isang lingkod. At ang mga bagay na ginawa niya ay larawan ng mga bagay na mangyayari sa hinaharap. 6 Ngunit si Cristo ay tapat bilang Anak na namamahala sa pamilya ng Dios. At tayo ang pamilya ng Dios, kung patuloy tayong magiging tapat sa pag-asang ipinagmamalaki natin. 7 Kaya gaya ng sinasabi ng Banal na Espiritu:
“Kung marinig nʼyo ngayon ang tinig ng Dios,
8 huwag ninyong patigasin ang puso nʼyo,
tulad ng ginawa noon ng mga ninuno nʼyo.
Naghimagsik sila laban sa Dios at siyaʼy sinubok nila roon sa ilang.
9 Sinabi ng Dios, ‘Sinubok nila ako sa kasamaan nila,
kahit na nakita nila ang ginawa ko sa loob ng 40 taon.
10 Kaya galit na galit ako sa henerasyong ito at sinabi ko,
“Laging lumalayo ang puso nila sa akin,
at ayaw nilang sumunod sa mga itinuturo ko sa kanila.”
11 Kaya sa galit ko, isinumpa kong hindi nila makakamtan ang kapahingahang galing sa akin.’ ”[b]
12 Kaya mga kapatid, mag-ingat kayo at baka maging masama ang puso nʼyo na siyang magpapahina ng pananampalataya nʼyo hanggang sa lumayo kayo sa Dios na buhay. 13 Magpaalalahanan kayo araw-araw habang may panahon pa, para walang sinuman sa inyo ang madaya ng kasalanan na nagpapatigas sa puso nʼyo. 14 Sapagkat kasama tayo ni Cristo kung mananatiling matatag ang pananampalataya natin sa kanya hanggang sa wakas. 15 Gaya nga ng nabanggit sa Kasulatan: “Kung marinig nʼyo ngayon ang tinig ng Dios, huwag ninyong patigasin ang puso nʼyo tulad ng ginawa noon ng mga ninuno nʼyo nang naghimagsik sila laban sa Dios.”[c] 16 Sino ba ang mga taong nakarinig sa tinig ng Dios at naghimagsik pa rin sa kabila nito? Hindi baʼt ang mga inilabas ni Moises sa Egipto? 17 At kanino ba nagalit ang Dios sa loob ng 40 taon? Hindi baʼt sa mga nagkasala at namatay sa ilang? 18 At sino ba ang isinumpa ng Dios na hindi makakamtan ang kapahingahan? Hindi baʼt ang mga ayaw sumunod sa kanya? 19 Kaya malinaw na hindi nila nakamtan ang kapahingahan dahil sa kawalan ng pananampalataya sa Dios.
