Hebrews 4
English Standard Version
4 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem (A)to have failed to reach it. 2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because (B)they were not united by faith with those who listened.[a] 3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said,
(C)“As I swore in my wrath,
‘They shall not enter my rest,’”
although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: (D)“And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” 5 And again in this passage he said,
(E)“They shall not enter my rest.”
6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news (F)failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,
(G)“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God[b] would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also (H)rested from his works as God did from his.
11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so (I)that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. 12 For (J)the word of God is living and (K)active, (L)sharper than any (M)two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and (N)discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And (O)no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are (P)naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Jesus the Great High Priest
14 Since then we have (Q)a great high priest (R)who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, (S)let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest (T)who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been (U)tempted as we are, (V)yet without sin. 16 (W)Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Odmor za Božji narod
4 Iako Božje obećanje da ćemo ući u mjesto njegova odmora još vrijedi, strahujte da se kome ne dogodi da onamo ne uspije ući.
2 Jer ta Radosna vijest - da je Bog pripremio mjesto odmora - naviještena je nama baš kao što je bila naviještena i njima. Ali nije im koristila jer nisu vjerovali Bogu poput onih koji su ga poslušali.
3 Jer samo mi koji vjerujemo možemo ući u mjesto njegova odmora. Za one koji nisu vjerovali Bog je rekao:
'Zato se u gnjevu zakleh:
"Nikada neće ući u mjesto mojega odmora''[a]iako je njegovo djelo dovršeno otkako je stvorio svijet.
4 A da je dovršeno, znamo jer se u Svetome pismu spominje sedmi dan: 'Bog je sedmoga dana počinuo od svih djela koja je učinio.'[b]
5 Ali na onomu mjestu veli: 'Nikada neće ući u mjesto mojega odmora.'[c]
6 Mjesto odmora je dakle tu da uđu oni koji trebaju ući. Ali kako oni koji su prvi čuli Radosnu vijest nisu ušli zbog nepokornosti Bogu,
7 odredio je drugi dan za ulazak: 'danas'. Objavio je to kroz Davida mnogo kasnije, kao što je već napisano:
'Poslušajte danas Božji glas,
ne budite tvrda srca prema njemu.'[d]
8 To novo mjesto odmora nije Kanaan u koji ih je uveo Jošua. Jer da je tako, Bog poslije ne bi govorio o novome danu odmora.
9 Tako posebno mjesto odmora[e] još očekuje Božji narod.
10 Koji su već ušli, odmaraju se od svojeg posla, baš kao što je i Bog učinio nakon stvaranja.
11 Trudimo se stoga ući u mjesto odmora da ne slijedimo uzor onih koji su propali zbog neposlušnosti.
12 Jer Božja je riječ uistinu živa i djelotvorna. Oštrija je od dvosjeklog mača; prodire dotle da dijeli dušu od duha i zglobove od moždine te prosuđuje nakane i misli srca.
13 Nema stvorenja koje bi se pred njom moglo skriti. Sve je golo i razotkriveno pod pogledom Boga, kojemu ćemo morati položiti račun.
Krist je naš Veliki svećenik
14 Isus, Božji Sin, naš je Veliki svećenik koji je otišao na nebo. Držimo se stoga svoje vjere.
15 Taj naš Veliki svećenik razumije naše slabosti jer je i sam proživio iste kušnje kao i mi premda im nikad nije popustio i zgriješio.
16 Priđimo dakle hrabro prijestolju milostivoga Boga. Primit ćemo milostivu i milosrdnu pomoć u trenucima kad nam bude potrebna.

Hebrews 4
King James Version
4 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
