The Promised Rest
4 Therefore, while the promise to enter His rest remains, let us fear that none of you should miss it.[a] 2 For we also have received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united with those who heard it in faith[b](A) 3 (for we who have believed enter the rest), in keeping with what[c] He has said:
And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world, 4 for somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this way:
5 Again, in that passage He says, They will never enter My rest.[f] 6 Since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience,(D) 7 again, He specifies a certain day—today—speaking through David after such a long time, as previously stated:
8 For if Joshua(F) had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 Therefore, a Sabbath rest remains for God’s people. 10 For the person who has entered His rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from His.(G) 11 Let us then make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience.
12 For the word of God is living and effective(H) and sharper than any double-edged sword,(I) penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the ideas and thoughts of the heart.(J) 13 No creature is hidden from Him, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom(K) we must give an account.
Our Great High Priest
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to the confession.(L) 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are,(M) yet without sin.(N) 16 Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time.

En sabbatsvila för Guds folk
4 När nu ett löfte finns kvar om att få komma in i hans vila, låt oss då akta oss så att ingen av er visar sig gå miste om det. 2 Evangeliet har förkunnats för oss liksom för dem, men de hade ingen nytta av ordet de hörde eftersom det[a] inte smälte samman i tro med dem som lyssnade. 3 Det är vi som tror som går in i vilan. Herren säger: Så svor jag i min vrede: De ska aldrig komma in i min vila.[b] Ändå har hans verk stått färdiga sedan världens skapelse, 4 för på ett ställe säger han om den sjunde dagen: Och Gud vilade på den sjunde dagen från alla sina verk.[c] 5 Men här säger han: De ska aldrig komma in i min vila.[d]
6 (A) Det står alltså fast att vissa går in i vilan, och att de som först fick höra evangeliet inte kom in på grund av olydnad. 7 Därför bestämmer han på nytt en dag, i dag, när han långt senare säger genom David vad som redan är sagt: I dag, om ni hör hans röst, förhärda inte era hjärtan.[e] 8 (B) För om Josua hade fört dem in i vilan, skulle Gud inte senare ha talat om en annan dag.
9 Alltså kvarstår en sabbatsvila för Guds folk. 10 (C) Den som går in i hans vila får vila sig från sina gärningar, liksom Gud vilade från sina. 11 Låt oss därför sträva efter att komma in i den vilan, så att ingen kommer på fall som de och blir ett exempel på olydnad.
12 (D) Guds ord är levande och verksamt. Det är skarpare än något tveeggat svärd och genomtränger tills det skiljer själ och ande, led och märg, och det dömer över hjärtats uppsåt och tankar. 13 (E) Inget skapat är dolt för honom, utan allt ligger naket och blottat[f] för hans ögon. Och inför honom måste vi stå till svars.
Den fullkomlige översteprästen
14 (F) När vi nu har en stor överstepräst som har stigit upp genom himlarna, Jesus, Guds Son, låt oss då hålla fast vid vår bekännelse. 15 (G) Vi har inte enöverstepräst som inte kan ha medlidande med våra svagheter, utan en som har varit frestad i allt liksom vi fast utan synd. 16 (H) Låt oss därför frimodigt gå fram till nådens tron för att få barmhärtighet och finna nåd till hjälp i rätt tid.

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.
