Lettera agli Ebrei - Hebrews 3

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Οθεν, αδελφοι αγιοι, ουρανιου προσκλησεως μετοχοι, κατανοησατε τον αποστολον και αρχιερεα της ομολογιας ημων τον Ιησουν Χριστον,	1 That is why al you who are holy brothers and share the same heavenly cal should turn your minds toJesus, the apostle and the high priest of our profession of faith.
2 οστις ητο πιστος εις τον καταστησαντα αυτον, καθως και ο Μωυσης εις ολον τον οικον αυτου.	2 He was trustworthy to the one who appointed him, just like Moses, who remained trustworthy in all hishousehold;
3 Επειδη ουτος ηξιωθη πλειοτερας δοξης παρα τον Μωυσην, καθ' οσον εχει τιμην πλειοτεραν παρα τον οικον ο κατασκευασας αυτον.	3 but he deserves a greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house is more honoured than thehouse itself.
4 Διοτι πας οικος κατασκευαζεται υπο τινος, ο δε κατασκευασας τα παντα ειναι ο Θεος.	4 Every house is built by someone, of course; but God built everything that exists.
5 Και ο μεν Μωυσης υπηρξε πιστος εις ολον τον οικον αυτου ως θεραπων, εις μαρτυριαν των λαληθησομενων,	5 It is true that Moses was trustworthy in the household of God, as a servant is, acting as witness to thethings which were yet to be revealed,
6 ο δε Χριστος ως Υιος επι τον οικον αυτου, του οποιου ημεις ειμεθα οικος, εαν κρατησωμεν μεχρι τελους βεβαιαν την παρρησιαν και το καυχημα της ελπιδος.	6 but Christ is trustworthy as a son is, over his household. And we are his household, as long as wefearlessly maintain the hope in which we glory.
7 Δια τουτο, καθως λεγει το Πνευμα το Αγιον? Σημερον, εαν ακουσητε της φωνης αυτου,	7 That is why, as the Holy Spirit says: If only you would listen to him today!
8 μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας σας ως εν τω παραπικρασμω κατα την ημεραν του πειρασμου εν τη ερημω,	8 Do not harden your hearts, as at the rebel ion, as at the time of testing in the desert,
9 οπου οι πατερες σας με επειραααν, με εδοκιμασαν και ειδον τα εργα μου τεσσαρακοντα ετη?	9 when your ancestors chal enged me, and put me to the test, and saw what I could do
10 δια τουτο δυσηρεστηθην εις την γενεαν εκεινην και ειπον? Παντοτε πλανωνται εν τη καρδια αυτων και αυτοι δεν εγνωρισαν τας οδους μου?	10 for forty years. That was why that generation sickened me and I said, 'Always fickle hearts, thatcannot grasp my ways!'
11 ουτως ωμοσα εν τη οργη μου, δεν θελουσιν εισελθει εις την καταπαυσιν μου?	11 And then in my anger I swore that they would never enter my place of rest.
12 προσεχετε, αδελφοι, να μη υπαρχη εις μηδενα απο σας πονηρα καρδια απιστιας, ωστε να αποστατηση απο Θεου ζωντος,	12 Take care, brothers, that none of you ever has a wicked heart, so unbelieving as to turn away from theliving God.
13 αλλα προτρεπετε αλληλους καθ' εκαστην ημεραν, ενοσω ονομαζεται το σημερον, δια να μη σκληρυνθη τις εξ υμων δια της απατης της αμαρτιας?	13 Every day, as long as this today lasts, keep encouraging one another so that none of you is hardenedby the lure of sin,
14 διοτι μετοχοι εγειναμεν του Χριστου, εαν κρατησωμεν μεχρι τελους βεβαιαν την αρχην της πεποιθησεως,	14 because we have been granted a share with Christ only if we keep the grasp of our first confidencefirm to the end.
15 ενω λεγεται? Σημερον, εαν ακουσητε της φωνης αυτου, μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας σας ως εν τω παραπικρασμω.	15 In this saying: If only you would listen to him today; do not harden your hearts, as at the Rebel ion,
16 Διοτι τινες, αφου ηκουσαν, παρεπικραναν αυτον αλλ' ουχι παντες οι εξελθοντες εξ Αιγυπτου δια του Μωυσεως.	16 who was it who listened and then rebelled? Surely al those whom Moses led out of Egypt.
17 Εις τινας δε παρωργισθη τεσσαρακοντα ετη; ουχι εις τους αμαρτησαντας, των οποιων τα κωλα επεσον εν τη ερημω;	17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Surely with those who sinned and whose dead bodiesfel in the desert.
18 Προς τινας δε ωμοσεν οτι δεν θελουσιν εισελθει εις την καταπαυσιν αυτου, ειμη προς τους απειθησαντας;	18 To whom did he swear they would never enter his place of rest? Surely those who would not believe.
19 Και βλεπομεν οτι δια απιστιαν δεν ηδυνηθησαν να εισελθωσι.	19 So we see that it was their refusal to believe which prevented them from entering.
