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.
Mga Hebreo 4
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
4 Kaya nga habang nananatili ang pangako ng Diyos, na tayo'y makakapasok sa kapahingahang sinabi niya, mag-ingat kayo at baka mayroon sa inyong hindi makatanggap ng pangakong ito. 2 Sapagkat tulad nila'y napakinggan din natin ang Magandang Balita, ngunit hindi nila pinakinabangan ang balitang kanilang narinig dahil hindi nila ito tinanggap nang may pananampalataya. 3 Tayong(A) mga sumampalataya ay tumatanggap ng kapahingahang ipinangako. Ito'y ayon sa kanyang sinabi,
“Sa galit ko'y aking isinumpa,
‘Hindi sila makakapasok sa lupain ng kapahingahang aking ipinangako.’”
Sinabi niya ito kahit tapos na niya ang kanyang mga gagawin mula nang likhain ang sanlibutan. 4 Sapagkat(B) sinasabi sa isang bahagi ng kasulatan ang ganito tungkol sa ikapitong araw, “At sa ikapitong araw, nagpahinga ang Diyos sa kanyang paglikha.” 5 At(C) muli pang sinabi, “Hindi sila makakapasok sa lupain ng kapahingahang aking ipinangako.” 6 Ang mga unang nakarinig ng Magandang Balita ay hindi nakapasok sa lupain ng kapahingahan dahil hindi sila sumampalataya. Ngunit may mga inaanyayahan pa ring pumasok sa lupaing iyon ng kapahingahan. 7 Kaya't(D) muling nagtakda ang Diyos ng isa pang araw na tinawag niyang “Ngayon”. Pagkalipas ng mahabang panahon, sinabi sa pamamagitan ni David sa kasulatang nabanggit,
“Ngayon, kapag narinig ninyo ang tinig ng Diyos,
huwag ninyong patigasin ang inyong mga puso.”
8 Kung(E) ang mga tao noon ay nabigyan ni Josue ng lubos na kapahingahan, hindi na sana ipinangako pa ng Diyos ang tungkol sa isa pang araw ng kapahingahan. 9 Kung paanong nagpahinga ang Diyos sa ikapitong araw, mayroon ding kapahingahang nakalaan sa mga taong sumasampalataya sa Diyos, 10 sapagkat(F) ang sinumang makapasok sa lupain ng kapahingahang ipinangako ng Diyos ay magpapahinga rin sa kanyang pagpapagal, tulad ng Diyos na nagpahinga sa kanyang paglikha. 11 Kaya't sikapin nating makamtan ang kapahingahang iyon at huwag mabigong tulad ng mga hindi sumasampalataya.
12 Ang salita ng Diyos ay buháy at mabisa, mas matalas kaysa alinmang tabak na sa magkabila'y may talim. Ito'y tumatagos maging sa kaibuturan ng kaluluwa at espiritu, ng mga kasukasuan at buto, at nakakaalam ng mga iniisip at binabalak ng puso. 13 Walang(G) nilalang na makakapagtago sa Diyos; ang lahat ay hayag at lantad sa kanyang paningin, at sa kanya tayo magsusulit ng ating mga sarili.
Si Jesus ang Pinakapunong Pari
14 Kaya nga, magpakatatag tayo sa ating pananampalataya, dahil mayroon tayong Dakilang Pinakapunong Pari na pumasok na sa kalangitan, doon mismo sa harap ng Diyos. Siya'y walang iba kundi si Jesus na Anak ng Diyos. 15 Ang ating Pinakapunong Paring ito ay nakakaunawa sa ating mga kahinaan sapagkat tulad natin, tinukso siya sa lahat ng paraan, subalit kailanma'y hindi siya nagkasala. 16 Kaya't huwag tayong mag-atubiling lumapit sa trono ng mahabaging Diyos upang makamtan natin ang habag at pagpapala na tutulong sa atin sa panahon ng ating pangangailangan.
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.
