The Superiority of Jesus to Moses
3 Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses also was in his household.[a] 3 For this one is considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, inasmuch as the one who builds it has greater honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone, but the one who built all things is God. 5 And Moses was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony to the things that would be spoken, 6 but Christ was faithful[b] as a son over his house, whose house we are, if[c] we hold fast to our confidence and the hope we can be proud of.
A Serious Warning Against Unbelief
7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
in the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers tested me by trial
and saw my works 10 for forty years.
Therefore I was angry with this generation,
and I said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
and they do not know my ways.’
11 As I swore in my anger,
‘They will never enter[d] into my rest.’”[e]
12 Watch out, brothers, lest there be in some of you an evil, unbelieving heart, with the result that you fall away[f] from the living God. 13 But encourage one another day by day[g], as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you become hardened[h] by the deception of sin. 14 For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of our commitment steadfast until the end, 15 while it is said[i],
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”[j]
16 For who, when they[k] heard it, were disobedient? Surely it was not all who went out from Egypt through Moses? 17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear they would not enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient? 19 And so we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.

3 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house. 3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God. 5 Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken, 6 but Christ[a] is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end. 7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says,
“Today if you will hear his voice,
8 don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers tested me and tried me,
and saw my deeds for forty years.
10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation,
and said, ‘They always err in their heart,
but they didn’t know my ways.’
11 As I swore in my wrath,
‘They will not enter into my rest.’”(A)
12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; 13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end, 15 while it is said,
“Today if you will hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”(B)
16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? 17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.

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)

Higit na Dakila si Jesus kay Moises
3 Kaya, mga kapatid kong banal, mga kabahagi sa makalangit na pagkatawag, isaalang-alang ninyo si Jesus, ang Apostol at Kataas-taasang Pari ng ating ipinapahayag. 2 Tapat (A) siya sa nagtalaga sa kanya, gaya ni Moises na tapat sa buong sambahayan ng Diyos. 3 Sapagkat si Jesus ay itinuring na karapat-dapat sa higit na kaluwalhatian kaysa kay Moises, yamang ang nagtayo ng bahay ay may higit na karangalan kaysa sa bahay. 4 Sapagkat ang bawat bahay ay may nagtayo, subalit ang nagtayo ng lahat ng mga bagay ay ang Diyos. 5 Si Moises, bilang lingkod ng buong sambahayan ng Diyos, ay naging tapat upang magpatotoo sa mga bagay na sasabihin. 6 Subalit si Cristo, bilang isang anak ay tapat sa sambahayan ng Diyos, at tayo ang sambahayang iyon, kung ating iingatang matibay hanggang sa katapusan ang pagtitiwala at pagmamalaki natin dahil sa ating pag-asa.
Kapahingahan para sa Bayan ng Diyos
7 Kaya't (B) gaya ng sinasabi ng Banal na Espiritu,
“Sa araw na ito, kung marinig ninyo ang kanyang tinig,
8 huwag ninyong patigasin ang inyong mga puso tulad noong sila’y naghimagsik,
noong araw na sila’y subukin sa ilang,
9 kung saan sinubok ako ng inyong mga magulang,
bagaman nakita nila ang aking mga gawa sa loob ng
10 apatnapung taon.
Kaya't nagalit ako sa lahing ito,
at aking sinabi, ‘Ang puso nila'y laging lumalayo sa akin,
at ang mga daan ko'y ayaw nilang alamin.’
11 Kaya sa aking galit ay isinumpa ko,
‘Hindi sila papasok sa kapahingahang ibibigay ko.’ ”
12 Mga kapatid, mag-ingat kayo, baka mayroon sa inyo na magkaroon ng pusong masama at walang pananampalataya, na ito’y naglalayo sa buháy na Diyos. 13 Palakasin ninyo ang loob ng isa't isa araw-araw, habang matatawag pa itong “araw na ito,” baka sinuman sa inyo ay patigasin ng pandaraya ng kasalanan. 14 Sapagkat tayo'y nagiging kabahagi ni Cristo, kung matatag nating panghahawakan hanggang katapusan ang pagtitiwalang ipinakita natin noong una pa man. 15 Gaya (C) ng sinasabi,
“Sa araw na ito, kung marinig ninyo ang kanyang tinig,
huwag ninyong patigasin ang inyong mga puso, tulad noong sila’y naghimagsik.”
16 Sapagkat (D) sino ba ang mga naghimagsik bagaman sila’y nakarinig? Hindi ba silang lahat na umalis sa Ehipto sa pangunguna ni Moises? 17 Kanino nagalit ang Diyos sa loob ng apatnapung taon? Hindi ba sa mga nagkasala na ang mga bangkay ay kumalat sa ilang? 18 At sino ba ang tinukoy niya noong siya’y sumumpa na sila’y hindi makakapasok sa kanyang kapahingahan? Hindi ba't ang mga matitigas ang ulo? 19 Kaya't nakikita natin na hindi sila nakapasok dahil sa kawalan nila ng pananampalataya.

Jesus Was Greater Than Moses
3 Christian brothers, you have been chosen and set apart by God. So let us think about Jesus. He is the One God sent and He is the Religious Leader of our Christian faith. 2 Jesus was faithful in God’s house just as Moses was faithful in all of God’s house. 3 The man who builds a house gets more honor than the house. That is why Jesus gets more honor than Moses. 4 Every house is built by someone. And God is the One Who has built everything. 5 Moses was a faithful servant owned by God in God’s house. He spoke of the things that would be told about later on. 6 But Christ was faithful as a Son Who is Head of God’s house. We are of God’s house if we keep our trust in the Lord until the end. This is our hope. 7 The Holy Spirit says, “If you hear His voice today, 8 do not let your hearts become hard as your early fathers did when they turned against Me. It was at that time in the desert when they put Me to the test. 9 Your early fathers tempted Me and tried Me. They saw the work I did for forty years. 10 For this reason, I was angry with the people of this day. And I said to them, ‘They always think wrong thoughts. They have never understood what I have tried to do for them.’ 11 I was angry with them and said to Myself, ‘They will never go into My rest.’” (A)
12 Christian brothers, be careful that not one of you has a heart so bad that it will not believe and will turn away from the living God. 13 Help each other. Speak day after day to each other while it is still today so your heart will not become hard by being fooled by sin. 14 For we belong to Christ if we keep on trusting Him to the end just as we trusted Him at first. 15 The Holy Writings say, “If you hear His voice today, do not let your hearts become hard as your early fathers did when they turned against Me.” (B)
16 Who heard God’s voice and turned against Him? Did not all those who were led out of the country of Egypt by Moses? 17 Who made God angry for forty years? Was it not those people who had sinned in the desert? Was it not those who died and were buried there? 18 Who did He say could never go into His rest? Was it not those who did not obey Him? 19 So we can see that they were not able to go into His rest because they did not put their trust in Him.
