Hebrews 4
Lexham English Bible
The Rest that Remains for the People of God
4 Therefore let us fear, while there[a] remains a promise of entering into his rest, that none of you appear to fall short of it. 2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us[b], just as those also did, but the message they heard[c] did not benefit them, because they[d] were not united with those who heard it in faith. 3 For we who have believed enter into rest,[e] just as he has said,
And yet these works have been accomplished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,”[h] 5 and in this passage again, ‘They will never enter[i] into my rest.’”[j] 6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter into it, and the ones to whom the good news was proclaimed previously did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again he ordains a certain day, today, speaking by David after so long a time, just as had been said before,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”[k]
8 For if Joshua had caused them to rest, he would not have spoken about another day after these things. 9 Consequently a sabbath rest remains for the people of God. 10 For the one who has entered into his rest has also himself rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.
11 Therefore, let us make every effort to enter into that rest, in order that no one may fall in the same pattern of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, both joints and marrow, and able to judge the reflections and thoughts of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden in the sight of him, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of him to whom we must give our account[l].
Jesus Our Great High Priest
14 Therefore, because we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is not able to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who has been tempted in all things in the same way, without sin. 16 Therefore let us approach with confidence to the throne of grace, in order that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

4 Dahil nananatili pang may bisa ang pangakong makapasok sa kanyang kapahingahan, mag-ingat tayo at baka mayroon sa inyo na hindi makapasok doon. 2 Sapagkat tulad ng naranasan natin ay dumating din sa kanila ang Magandang Balita; ngunit ang salitang narinig nila'y hindi nila pinakinabangan, sapagkat hindi nila sinamahan ng pananampalataya ang kanilang pakikinig. 3 Tayong sumampalataya ay pumapasok sa kapahingahang iyon, gaya ng sinabi ng Diyos,
“Sa aking galit ay isinumpa ko,
hindi sila papasok sa kapahingahang ibibigay ko.”
Sinabi ito ng Diyos kahit na natapos na ang mga gawa niya mula nang itatag ang sanlibutan. 4 Sapagkat (A) ganito ang sinabi tungkol sa ikapitong araw sa isang bahagi ng Kasulatan, “At sa ikapitong araw ay nagpahinga ang Diyos sa lahat ng kanyang mga gawa.” 5 At (B) sa dakong ito naman ay muling sinabi, “Hindi sila papasok sa kapahingahang ibibigay ko.” 6 Kaya't dahil nananatili pang bukás para sa ilan ang makapasok doon, at dahil sa pagsuway ay hindi nakapasok ang mga naunang pinangaralan ng Magandang Balita, 7 muling (C) nagtakda ang Diyos ng isang araw, “Sa araw na ito;” ayon nga sa mga salitang nabanggit, sinabi sa pamamagitan ni David paglipas ng ilang panahon,
“Sa araw na ito, kung marinig ninyo ang kanyang tinig,
huwag ninyong patigasin ang inyong mga puso.”
8 Sapagkat (D) kung ang mga Israelita ay nabigyan ni Josue ng kapahingahan, hindi na sana nagsalita pa ang Diyos paglipas ng ilang panahon tungkol sa isa pang araw ng kapahingahan. 9 Kaya't may nakalaan pang isang Sabbath na kapahingahan para sa bayan ng Diyos; 10 sapagkat (E) ang pumasok sa kapahingahang ibinigay ng Diyos ay nagpahinga rin sa kanyang mga gawa, gaya ng Diyos na nagpahinga rin sa kanyang paglikha. 11 Kaya't magsikap tayong pumasok sa kapahingahang iyon, upang walang sinumang mabuwal dahil sa pagsunod sa halimbawa ng pagsuway ng mga Israelita noon.
12 Sapagkat ang salita ng Diyos ay buháy, mabisa, at higit na matalas kaysa alin mang tabak na may dalawang talim. Tumatagos ito hanggang sa pagitan ng kaluluwa at ng espiritu, hanggang sa mga kasukasuan at utak sa buto; at may kakayahang kumilala ng mga pag-iisip at mga hangarin ng puso. 13 Walang nilalang na makapagtatago sa harapan ng Diyos na ating pagsusulitan. Sa mga mata niya ang lahat ng bagay ay hubad at hayag.
Si Jesus ang Dakilang Kataas-taasang Pari
14 Kaya nga, dahil mayroon tayong isang Dakilang Kataas-taasang Pari na pumasok na sa kalangitan, at iyon ay si Jesus na Anak ng Diyos, matatag nating panghawakan ang ating ipinahahayag. 15 Sapagkat mayroon tayong Kataas-taasang Pari na marunong makiramay sa ating mga kahinaan. Tulad natin ay tinukso rin siya sa lahat ng mga paraan, gayunma'y hindi siya nagkasala. 16 Kaya't lumapit tayo na may lakas ng loob sa trono ng biyaya, upang tumanggap tayo ng awa, at makatagpo ng biyaya na makatutulong sa panahon ng ating pangangailangan.
