Hebrews 3
Tree of Life Version
Yeshua Greater than Moses
3 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take notice of Yeshua—the Emissary and Kohen Gadol we affirm. 2 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him in His house—as was Moses also. [a] 3 For He has been considered worthy of more glory than Moses, even as the builder of the house has more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. 5 Now Moses surely was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, for a witness of things to be spoken later. 6 But Messiah, as Son, is over God’s house—and we are His house, if we hold firm to our boldness and what we are proud to hope.
Listen and Obey, or Harden and Fall Away
7 Therefore, just as the Ruach ha-Kodesh says,
“Today if you hear His voice,
8 do not harden your hearts
    as in the rebellion,[b]
    on the day of testing[c] in the wilderness.
9 There your fathers put Me to the test,
    though they saw My works for forty years.
10 Therefore I was provoked by this generation,
    and I said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
        and they have not known My ways.’
11 As I swore in my wrath,
    ‘They shall not enter My rest.’”[d]
12 Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil heart of unbelief that falls away from the living God. 13 But encourage one another day by day—as long as it is called “Today”—so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partners of Messiah, if we hold our original conviction firm until the end. 15 As it is said,
“Today if you hear His voice,
    do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”[e]
16 Now which ones heard and rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt with Moses? 17 And with whom was He provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest? Was it not to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were not able to enter in because of lack of trust.

New Vietnamese Bible
Đức Giê-su Vĩ Đại Hơn Môi-se
3 Vậy thưa anh chị em thánh, là những người được hưởng ơn kêu gọi từ trời, anh chị em hãy tập trung vào Đức Giê-su là sứ giả và vị thượng tế mà chúng ta xưng nhận. 2 Ngài trung tín với Đấng đã lập Ngài lên cũng như Môi-se trung tín trong cả nhà Đức Chúa Trời. 3 Đức Giê-su được vinh quang hơn Môi-se cũng như người xây nhà được vinh dự hơn cái nhà. 4 Nhà nào cũng có người xây cất, còn Đức Chúa Trời, Đấng vì Ngài và bởi Ngài mà có muôn vật. 5 Môi-se trung tín trong cả nhà Đức Chúa Trời như một người đầy tớ và làm chứng về những điều sẽ được loan báo trong tương lai. 6 Nhưng Chúa Cứu Thế thì trung tín như con trai quản trị nhà Đức Chúa Trời. Nhà Đức Chúa Trời chính là chúng ta nếu chúng ta giữ vững lòng tin cậy và tự hào trong niềm hy vọng của mình cho đến cuối cùng.
Sự Yên Nghỉ Dành Cho Dân Chúa
7 Vậy nên, như Thánh Linh phán dạy:
“Ngày nay, nếu các ngươi nghe tiếng Ngài,
8     Thì đừng cứng lòng
Như tổ phụ các ngươi đã khiêu khích Đức Chúa Trời
    Trong ngày thử thách tại đồng hoang,
9 Ở đó họ thử nghiệm Ta mặc dù đã chứng kiến
    Công việc Ta làm trong bốn mươi năm.[a]
10 Nên Ta nổi giận với thế hệ đó
    Mà bảo rằng: ‘Chúng luôn luôn lầm lạc trong lòng,
    Không biết đến đường lối Ta.’ ”
11 Nên Ta đã thề trong cơn thịnh nộ:[b]
    “Chúng sẽ chẳng được vào sự an nghỉ Ta.”[c]
12 Thưa anh chị em, hãy thận trọng để không một ai trong anh chị em có lòng gian ác và vô tín đến nỗi lìa bỏ Đức Chúa Trời hằng sống. 13 Nhưng cứ khuyến cáo nhau hằng ngày đang khi còn được gọi là “ngày nay” để không một ai bị tội lỗi lừa gạt mà cứng lòng, 14 vì chúng ta được dự phần với Chúa Cứu Thế nếu chúng ta giữ vững niềm tin cậy ban đầu của mình cho đến cuối cùng! 15 Như Kinh Thánh dạy:
“Ngày nay, nếu các ngươi nghe tiếng Ngài
    Thì đừng cứng lòng
Như tổ phụ các ngươi trong cuộc khiêu khích Đức Chúa Trời.”[d]
16 Ai đã nghe tiếng Đức Chúa Trời rồi lại khiêu khích Ngài? Không phải tất cả những người được Môi-se đem ra khỏi Ai-cập sao? 17 Đức Chúa Trời nổi giận với ai trong bốn mươi năm? Không phải những kẻ phạm tội phải bỏ xác trong đồng hoang sao? 18 Ngài thề với ai rằng: “Chúng sẽ chẳng được vào sự an nghỉ Ta?” Nếu không phải là những kẻ không vâng phục. 19 Và chúng ta thấy rằng họ không thể vào được vì lòng vô tín.

Hebrews 3
New International Version
Jesus Greater Than Moses
3 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters,(A) who share in the heavenly calling,(B) fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge(C) as our apostle and high priest.(D) 2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.(E) 3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses,(F) just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.(G) 5 “Moses was faithful as a servant(H) in all God’s house,”[a](I) bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. 6 But Christ is faithful as the Son(J) over God’s house. And we are his house,(K) if indeed we hold firmly(L) to our confidence and the hope(M) in which we glory.
Warning Against Unbelief
7 So, as the Holy Spirit says:(N)
“Today, if you hear his voice,
8     do not harden your hearts(O)
as you did in the rebellion,
    during the time of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your ancestors tested and tried me,
    though for forty years they saw what I did.(P)
10 That is why I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
    and they have not known my ways.’
11 So I declared on oath in my anger,(Q)
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ (R)”[b](S)
12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.(T) 13 But encourage one another daily,(U) as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.(V) 14 We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold(W) our original conviction firmly to the very end.(X) 15 As has just been said:
16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?(Z) 17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?(AA) 18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest(AB) if not to those who disobeyed?(AC) 19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.(AD)

Hebrews 3
New King James Version
The Son Was Faithful
3 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, 2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as (A)Moses also was faithful in all His house. 3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as (B)He who built the house has more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone, but (C)He who built all things is God. 5 (D)And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as (E)a servant, (F)for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, 6 but Christ as (G)a Son over His own house, (H)whose house we are (I)if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope [a]firm to the end.
Be Faithful(J)
7 Therefore, as (K)the Holy Spirit says:
(L)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they have not known My ways.’
11 So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but [b]exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said:
(M)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers
16 (N)For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, (O)whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And (P)to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of (Q)unbelief.
