Hebreos 4
Traducción en lenguaje actual
4 Por eso, mientras siga en pie la promesa de descansar con Dios, debemos tener cuidado. Sería una lástima que alguno de ustedes no pudiera recibir de Dios ese descanso. 2 Porque nosotros oímos la buena noticia, igual que aquellos israelitas que salieron de Egipto. Sólo que a ellos no les sirvió de nada oírla, porque no creyeron en el mensaje. 3 Nosotros, en cambio, los que sí hemos creído en la buena noticia, disfrutaremos de la paz y de la tranquilidad que Dios nos ha prometido. Pero a los que no creyeron, Dios les dijo:
«Por eso, ya enojado decidí:
“No voy a permitirles
entrar en la tierra prometida,
donde los haré descansar.”»
Dios dijo esto, refiriéndose a su descanso cuando terminó de crear el mundo. 4 Porque en alguna parte de la Biblia se habla así del día sábado:
«En el séptimo día
Dios descansó de todo su trabajo.»
5 Y en cuanto a este punto, vuelve a decir:
«Ustedes jamás entrarán
en mi lugar de reposo.»
6 Los primeros en oír la buena noticia desobedecieron a Dios, y por eso no pudieron recibir su descanso. Pero la promesa de Dios sigue en pie, 7 porque él nos dio una nueva oportunidad, como lo dijo por medio de David en el pasaje de la Biblia, que ya mencionamos:
«Si hoy escuchan la voz de Dios,
no sean tan tercos.»
8 Si Josué hubiera podido hacer que los israelitas descansaran realmente en paz y tranquilidad, Dios no habría hablado de otra oportunidad. 9 Pero todavía esperamos el día en que nosotros, el pueblo de Dios, recibiremos el descanso que Dios nos ha prometido. 10 En ese día, el pueblo de Dios descansará por fin de su trabajo, así como Dios descansó del suyo. 11 Por eso, hagamos todo lo posible por obedecer a Dios, para que en ese día recibamos su descanso. No sigamos el ejemplo de los que no creyeron la buena noticia.
12 Cada palabra que Dios pronuncia tiene poder y tiene vida. La palabra de Dios es más cortante que una espada de dos filos, y penetra hasta lo más profundo de nuestro ser. Allí examina nuestros pensamientos y deseos, y deja en claro si son buenos o malos. 13 Nada de lo que Dios ha creado puede esconderse de él, pues Dios puede verlo todo con claridad, y ante él seremos responsables de todo lo que hemos hecho.
Jesús es el Jefe de sacerdotes
14 Jesús es el Hijo de Dios, y es nuestro gran Jefe de sacerdotes, que ha subido al cielo. Por eso debemos seguir confiando en él.
15 El diablo le puso a Jesús las mismas trampas que nos pone a nosotros para hacernos pecar, sólo que Jesús nunca pecó. Por eso, él puede entender que nos resulta difícil obedecer a Dios. 16 Así que, cuando tengamos alguna necesidad, acerquémonos con confianza al trono de Dios. Él nos ayudará, porque es bueno y nos ama.
Yehudim in Moshiach 4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 Therefore, let us walk in yir’at Shomayim, for fear that, while the havtachah (promise) of entering the menuchah of Hashem is still open, anyone of you should seem to have fallen short of it.
2 For indeed we have had Besuras HaGeulah preached to us, just as they did also; but the Dvar Hashem preached did not make that generation benefit, because hearing did not form an agudah with emunah [faith].
3 For we ma’aminim [in Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach] enter into that menuchah, just as Hashem has said, "ASHER NISHBA’TI V’API IM YEVO’UN EL MENUCHATI" ("As I vowed in My fury, they shall never enter into My rest" TEHILLIM 95:11), although the ma’asim (works) of Hashem were finished from the hivvased tevel (foundation of the world).
4 For concerning Shabbos, the Yom HaShevi’i, Hashem has said somewhere, "VAYISHBOT Elohim BAYOM HASHEVI’I MIKOL MELAKHTO" ("And He rested on the seventh day from all His work." [BERESHIS 2:2]
5 And again in this mekor (passage, citation), "IM YEVO’UN EL MENUCHATI" ("Never shall they enter into My rest" TEHILLIM 95:11).
6 Therefore, als (since) it remains for some to enter it, and the ones, who formerly had the Besuras HaGeulah preached to them, did not enter, because they were koferim (unbelievers),
7 So then again Hashem sets a certain day, "HAYOM" ("Today," TEHILLIM 95:7) in one of the Tehillim of Dovid [HaMelech], much later, in that quoted above, "HAYOM IM BEKOLO TISHMAU AL TAKSHU LEVAVCHEM" ("Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your heart"‖TEHILLIM 95:7).
8 For if Yehoshua [ben Nun] had brought them to a place of menuchah (rest), Hashem would not have spoken of another "Yom" after that [TEHILLIM 95:7].
9 Therefore, there remains a Shabbos menuchah for the Am Hashem.
10 For whoever has entered into the menuchah of Hashem has also rested from [depending on the zchus (merit) of] his ma’asim, just as Hashem rested from his.
11 Therefore, let us have zerizut (diligence) to enter into that menuchah, for fear that anyone fall through following be’ikvot (in the footsteps) of their same lack of mishma’at (obedience) [cf 3:17-18; 4:6].
12 For the Dvar Hashem is chai (living) and chazak (strong), sharper than every doubled-edged cherev and penetrating as far as the division of nefesh and ruach, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the machshavot and deliberations of the kavanat halev (the inner directedness of the heart).
13 And there is not nivra (anything created) nistar (hidden) from His sight, but all things are laid bare and exposed to the eynayim (eyes) of Him to whom we must render an account.
14 Therefore, als (since) we have a great Kohen Gadol who has made his passing through Shomayim, [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] Yehoshua HaBen HaElohim, let us hold firmly to the hoda’ah (confession) of the hachrazah (proclamation) of our [Orthodox Jewish] Emunah.
15 For we do not have a Kohen Gadol who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without chet.
16 Therefore, let us approach with bitachon the Kisse of Chesed, that we may receive rachamim and may find chesed for timely ezrah (aid).
Hebrews 4
New International Version
A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God
4 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) 2 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) 3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,
And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. 4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”[c](D) 5 And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”(E)
6 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) 7 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:
8 For if Joshua had given them rest,(H) God would not have spoken(I) later about another day. 9 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.
