Nasashada Ilaah Dadkiisa Siiyo

Sidaas daraaddeed aynu cabsanno, inta ballan nasashadiisa lagu gelayaa jiro, inaan midkiinna u ekaan mid gaadhi waayay. Waayo, innagana war wanaagsan baa laynagu wacdiyey sidooda oo kale, laakiin hadalkay maqleen waxba uma uu tarin iyaga, maxaa yeelay, kuwii maqlay rumaysad kuma ay darin. Waayo, kuweenna rumaystay, nasashadaas waynu galnaa, siduu u yidhi,

Sidaas daraaddeed anigoo cadhaysan ayaan waxaan ku dhaartay,
Iyagu nasashadayda ma geli doonaan,

in kastoo ay shuqulladii ka dhammaadeen aasaaska dunida. Waayo, isagu meel buu maalintii toddobaad sidan ka yidhi, Maalintii toddobaad Ilaah baa shuqulladiisii oo dhan ka nastay. Meeshatanna mar kale wuxuu yidhi,

Iyagu nasashadayda ma geli doonaan.

Haddaba waxaa hadhay qaar gelaya, oo kuwii kolkii hore warkii wanaagsanaa lagu wacdiyey way geli waayeen caasinimo aawadeed. Taas daraaddeed haddana mar kale maalintoo buu gooni u dhigay, isagoo wakhti dheer dabadeed qorniinka Daa'uud ku leh, Maanta, sidii kolkii hore la yidhi,

Maanta haddaad codkiisa maqashaan,
Qalbiyadiinna ha adkaynina.

Waayo, haddii Yashuuca iyagii nasiyey, Ilaah markaas dabadeed kama uu hadleen maalin kale. Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa dadka Ilaah u hadha nasasho. 10 Waayo, kii nasashadiisa galay, isaga qudhiisuna waa ka nastay shuqulladiisii sidii Ilaah kuwiisii uga nastay. 11 Haddaba aynu u dadaalno inaynu nasashadaas galno inaan ninna caasinimadaas oo kale ku dhicin. 12 Waayo, hadalka Ilaah wuu nool yahay, waana shaqeeyaa, oo waa ka af badan yahay seef kasta oo laba af leh, isagoo ka dhex dusaya ilaa kala soocniinta nafta iyo ruuxa, iyo xubnaha iyo dhuuxaba, waana kala gartaa fikirrada iyo waxyaalaha qalbiga ku jira. 13 Oo uun aan hortiisa ka muuqani ma jiro, laakiin wax waliba way qaawan yihiin oo bannaan yihiin indhihiisa hortooda, kan aynu ku tirsan nahay.

Ciise Wuxuu Yahay Wadaadka Sare Oo Ka Sarreeya Haaruun

14 Haddaba innagoo leh wadaad sare oo weyn, kan samooyinka sii dhex maray, kaas oo ah Ciisoo Wiilka Ilaah ah, aynu qirashadeenna xajinno. 15 Waayo, ma aynu lihin wadaad sare oo aan itaaldarradeenna ka nixi karin, laakiin waxaynu leennahay mid si walba loo jirrabay sideenna oo kale, oo aan weliba dembi lahayn. 16 Haddaba aynu carshiga nimcada dhiirranaan ugu soo dhowaanno si aynu naxariis u qaadanno oo aynu u helno nimco ina caawisa wakhtiga baahida.

A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God

Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.(A) For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.[a](B) Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,

“So I declared on oath in my anger,
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”[b](C)

And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”[c](D) And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”(E)

Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience,(F) God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts.”[d](G)

For if Joshua had given them rest,(H) God would not have spoken(I) later about another day. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works,[e](J) just as God did from his.(K) 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.(L)

12 For the word of God(M) is alive(N) and active.(O) Sharper than any double-edged sword,(P) it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.(Q) 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.(R) Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Jesus the Great High Priest

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest(S) who has ascended into heaven,[f](T) Jesus the Son of God,(U) let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.(V) 15 For we do not have a high priest(W) who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are(X)—yet he did not sin.(Y) 16 Let us then approach(Z) God’s throne of grace with confidence,(AA) so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

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.

For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

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.
