Hebrews 3
King James Version
3 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

II. GESU' SOMMO SACERDOTE FEDELE E MISERICORDIOSO
Il Cristo superiore a Mosè
3 Perciò, fratelli santi, partecipi di una vocazione celeste, fissate bene lo sguardo in Gesù, l'apostolo e sommo sacerdote della fede che noi professiamo, 2 il quale è fedele a colui che l'ha costituito, come lo fu anche Mosè in tutta la sua casa. 3 Ma in confronto a Mosè, egli è stato giudicato degno di tanta maggior gloria, quanto l'onore del costruttore della casa supera quello della casa stessa. 4 Ogni casa infatti viene costruita da qualcuno; ma colui che ha costruito tutto è Dio. 5 In verità Mosè fu fedele in tutta la sua casa come servitore, per rendere testimonianza di ciò che doveva essere annunziato più tardi; 6 Cristo, invece, lo fu come figlio costituito sopra la sua propria casa. E la sua casa siamo noi, se conserviamo la libertà e la speranza di cui ci vantiamo.
La fede introduce nel riposo di Dio
7 Per questo, come dice lo Spirito Santo:
Oggi, se udite la sua voce,
8 non indurite i vostri cuori come nel giorno della
ribellione,
il giorno della tentazione nel deserto,
9 dove mi tentarono i vostri padri mettendomi alla prova,
pur avendo visto per quarant'anni le mie opere.
10 Perciò mi disgustai di quella generazione
e dissi: Sempre hanno il cuore sviato.
Non hanno conosciuto le mie vie.
11 Così ho giurato nella mia ira:
Non entreranno nel mio riposo.
12 Guardate perciò, fratelli, che non si trovi in nessuno di voi un cuore perverso e senza fede che si allontani dal Dio vivente. 13 Esortatevi piuttosto a vicenda ogni giorno, finché dura quest'oggi, perché nessuno di voi si indurisca sedotto dal peccato. 14 Siamo diventati infatti partecipi di Cristo, a condizione di mantenere salda sino alla fine la fiducia che abbiamo avuta da principio. 15 Quando pertanto si dice:
Oggi, se udite la sua voce,
non indurite i vostri cuori come nel giorno della
ribellione,
16 chi furono quelli che, dopo aver udita la sua voce, si ribellarono? Non furono tutti quelli che erano usciti dall'Egitto sotto la guida di Mosè? 17 E chi furono coloro di cui si è disgustato per quarant'anni? Non furono quelli che avevano peccato e poi caddero cadaveri nel deserto? 18 E a chi giurò che non sarebbero entrati nel suo riposo, se non a quelli che non avevano creduto? 19 In realtà vediamo che non vi poterono entrare a causa della loro mancanza di fede.
Hebrews 3
English Standard Version
Jesus Greater Than Moses
3 Therefore, holy brothers,[a] you who share in (A)a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, (B)the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, (C)just as Moses also was faithful in all God's[b] house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but (D)the builder of all things is God.) 5 (E)Now Moses was faithful in all God's house (F)as a servant, (G)to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as (H)a son. And (I)we are his house, if indeed we (J)hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.[c]
A Rest for the People of God
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
(K)“Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
on the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers put me to the test
and saw my works for (L)forty years.
10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;
they have not known my ways.’
11 (M)As I swore in my wrath,
‘They shall not enter my rest.’”
12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from (N)the living God. 13 But (O)exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by (P)the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, (Q)if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said,
(R)“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
16 For (S)who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not (T)all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, (U)whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that (V)they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that (W)they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
