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)

nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
Jesus är mäktigare än Mose
3 Heliga syskon, ni som har fått del av en himmelsk kallelse, se på Jesus, som vi ju bekänner som vår apostel och överstepräst.
2 Han var trogen mot den som hade utsett honom, på samma sätt som Mose var trogen mot Gud i hela Guds hus[a]. 3 Men Jesus har visat sig mer värd att äras än Mose, på samma sätt som en byggmästare måste äras mer än det hus han har byggt. 4 För varje hus har en byggmästare, och Gud är byggmästaren som ligger bakom allt.
5 Visst var Mose trogen som tjänare i hela Guds hus, för att vittna om det som senare skulle förkunnas. 6 Men Kristus[b] är trogen som Son och råder över Guds hus. Och hans hus är vi, om vi bara håller fast vid vår frimodighet och vid hoppet som är vår stolthet.
Varning för otro
7 Därför säger den heliga Anden:
”Om ni idag hör hans röst,
8 så förhärda inte era hjärtan
som ni gjorde under upproret,
på prövningens dag i öknen
9 där era fäder satte mig på prov. De prövade mig
fastän de hade sett mina gärningar 10 i fyrtio år.
Därför blev jag förbittrad på detta släkte,
och jag sa: ’De far alltid vilse i sina hjärtan.
De känner inte mina vägar.’
11 Därför svor jag i min vrede:
’De ska aldrig komma in i min vila.’ ”[c]
12 Se därför upp, syskon, så att ingen av er har ett ont och trolöst hjärta och vänder sig bort från den levande Guden. 13 Uppmuntra varandra varje dag, så länge det heter idag, så att ingen av er förhärdas av syndens lockelser. 14 Vi får del av Kristus, om vi ända till slutet håller fast vid den övertygelse vi hade i början. 15 Glöm alltså inte varningen:
”Om ni idag hör hans röst,
så förhärda inte era hjärtan
som under upproret.”
16 Men vilka var det då som hörde och ändå gjorde uppror? Jo, det var ju alla de som fick lämna Egypten med Mose som ledare. 17 Och vilka var det som Gud sedan var förbittrad på under fyrtio år? Jo, det var samma människor som syndade och blev liggande döda i öknen. 18 Och vilka gällde eden han svor: ”De ska inte få komma in i min vila?” Jo, det var dessa som vägrade att lyda. 19 Vi ser alltså att det var på grund av sin otro som dessa människor inte fick komma in.

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.
