Hebreohanon 4
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
4 Apan bisan mao kadto ang nahitabo, nagapabilin sa gihapon ang saad sa Dios nga makadawat kita sa kapahulayan nga gikan kaniya. Busa magbantay gayod kita kay basin kon duna kanatoy dili makadawat niini. 2 Kay sama kanila nakadungog usab kita sa Maayong Balita. Apan wala nila mapusli ang ilang nadunggan tungod kay wala sila motuo. 3 Kita nga nagtuo mao ang makadawat sa kapahulayan nga gikan sa Dios. Apan ang wala motuo dili makadawat niini, tungod kay nagaingon ang Dios,
“Sa akong kasuko, nanumpa ako nga dili gayod nila madawat ang kapahulayan nga gikan kanako.”[a]
Wala kini magkahulogan nga wala pa ang kapahulayan, tungod kay ang tinuod, anaa na kining daan sukad sa iyang pagbuhat sa kalibotan. 4 Dili ba nga mao kini ang gi-ingon sa Kasulatan mahitungod sa ikapito nga adlaw: “Sa ikapito nga adlaw mipahulay ang Dios sa tanan niyang mga buhat.”[b] 5 Ug gi-ingon usab, “Dili gayod nila madawat ang kapahulayan nga gikan kanako.” 6 Klaro nga gituyo sa Dios nga may makadawat niadto nga kapahulayan, apan ang mga nakadungog kaniadto sa Maayong Balita wala makadawat tungod kay wala sila mosunod sa Dios. 7 Busa nagahatag pa gayod ang Dios ug kahigayonan karon, tungod kay sa paglabay sa daghang mga katuigan nagsulti siya pinaagi kang David, sama sa nahisgotan na:
“Kon madunggan ninyo karon ang tingog sa Dios,
ayaw patig-aha ang inyong mga kasingkasing.”[c]
8 Kay kon tinuod nga nadala ni Josue ang mga tawo kaniadto sa kapahulayan, wala na unta magsulti ang Dios nga may lain pa gayod nga adlaw nga ang mga tawo hatagan niya ug kapahulayan. 9 Busa may kapahulayan pa gayod nga gitagana ang Dios alang sa iyang katawhan, ug kini nga kapahulayan sama sa pagpahulay sa Dios sa ikapito nga adlaw. 10 Kay si bisan kinsa nga makadawat sa kapahulayan nga gikan sa Dios makapahulay na sa iyang mga buluhaton, sama nga ang Dios mipahulay human niya nabuhat ang tanan. 11 Busa tinguhaon gayod nato nga ang kapahulayan atong madawat. Dili gayod kita mosundog sa mga tawo kaniadto nga wala magsunod sa Dios, kay basin kon dili usab kita makadawat ug kapahulayan sama kanila.
12 Kay ang pulong sa Dios buhi ug gamhanan, ug mas hait pa kaysa espada nga duhay sulab. Modulot kini sa kinahiladman sa kalag ug sa espiritu, ug hangtod sa mga lutalutahan ug sa utok sa bukog. Nasayran niya ang mga butang nga ginahunahuna ug ginapangandoy sa mga tawo. 13 Walay makatago gikan sa Dios; ang tanan makita niya ug dayag gayod sa iyang panan-aw, ug kaniya kita mohatag ug husay sa atong mga binuhatan.
Si Jesus ang Atong Pangulong Pari
14 Busa kuptan gayod nato ang atong ginatuohan, tungod kay may gamhanan kita nga pangulong pari nga atua na didto sa langit. Ug kini walay lain kondili si Jesus nga Anak sa Dios. 15 Ang atong pangulong pari makabati usab sa atong mga kaluyahon, kay ang tanang mga pagsulay nga nagaabot kanato naagian usab niya, apan wala gayod siya makasala. 16 Busa dili kita magpanuko sa pagduol sa trono sa maluloy-on nga Dios, aron madawat nato ang kalooy ug tabang sa oras sa atong panginahanglan.

Hebrews 4
New King James Version
The Promise of Rest
4 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, (A)let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, [a]not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:
(B)“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ”
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: (C)“And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5 and again in this place: (D)“They shall not enter My rest.”
6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:
(E)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if [b]Joshua had (F)given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
The Word Discovers Our Condition
11 (G)Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is (H)living and powerful, and (I)sharper than any (J)two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is (K)a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 (L)And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are (M)naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Our Compassionate High Priest
14 Seeing then that we have a great (N)High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, (O)let us hold fast our confession. 15 For (P)we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but (Q)was in all points tempted as we are, (R)yet without sin. 16 (S)Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4
King James Version
4 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
