Lettera agli Ebrei - Hebrews 3

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Οθεν, αδελφοι αγιοι, ουρανιου προσκλησεως μετοχοι, κατανοησατε τον αποστολον και αρχιερεα της ομολογιας ημων τον Ιησουν Χριστον,	1 Therefore, holy "brothers," sharing in a heavenly calling, reflect on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
2 οστις ητο πιστος εις τον καταστησαντα αυτον, καθως και ο Μωυσης εις ολον τον οικον αυτου.	2 who was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was "faithful in (all) his house."
3 Επειδη ουτος ηξιωθη πλειοτερας δοξης παρα τον Μωυσην, καθ' οσον εχει τιμην πλειοτεραν παρα τον οικον ο κατασκευασας αυτον.	3 But he is worthy of more "glory" than Moses, as the founder of a house has more "honor" than the house itself.
4 Διοτι πας οικος κατασκευαζεται υπο τινος, ο δε κατασκευασας τα παντα ειναι ο Θεος.	4 Every house is founded by someone, but the founder of all is God.
5 Και ο μεν Μωυσης υπηρξε πιστος εις ολον τον οικον αυτου ως θεραπων, εις μαρτυριαν των λαληθησομενων,	5 Moses was "faithful in all his house" as a "servant" to testify to what would be spoken,
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 was faithful as a son placed over his house. We are his house, if (only) we hold fast to our confidence and pride in our hope.
7 Δια τουτο, καθως λεγει το Πνευμα το Αγιον? Σημερον, εαν ακουσητε της φωνης αυτου,	7 Therefore, as the holy Spirit says: "Oh, that today you would hear his voice,
8 μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας σας ως εν τω παραπικρασμω κατα την ημεραν του πειρασμου εν τη ερημω,	8 'Harden not your hearts as at the rebellion in the day of testing in the desert,
9 οπου οι πατερες σας με επειραααν, με εδοκιμασαν και ειδον τα εργα μου τεσσαρακοντα ετη?	9 where your ancestors tested and tried me and saw my works
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. Because of this I was provoked with that generation and I said, "They have always been of erring heart, and they do not know my ways."
11 ουτως ωμοσα εν τη οργη μου, δεν θελουσιν εισελθει εις την καταπαυσιν μου?	11 As I swore in my wrath, "They shall not enter into my 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 may have an evil and unfaithful heart, so as to forsake the living 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 Encourage yourselves daily while it is still "today," so that none of you may grow hardened by the deceit of sin.
14 διοτι μετοχοι εγειναμεν του Χριστου, εαν κρατησωμεν μεχρι τελους βεβαιαν την αρχην της πεποιθησεως,	14 We have become partners of Christ if only we hold the beginning of the reality firm until the end,
15 ενω λεγεται? Σημερον, εαν ακουσητε της φωνης αυτου, μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας σας ως εν τω παραπικρασμω.	15 for it is said: "Oh, that today you would hear his voice: 'Harden not your hearts as at the rebellion.'"
16 Διοτι τινες, αφου ηκουσαν, παρεπικραναν αυτον αλλ' ουχι παντες οι εξελθοντες εξ Αιγυπτου δια του Μωυσεως.	16 Who were those who rebelled when they heard? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt under Moses?
17 Εις τινας δε παρωργισθη τεσσαρακοντα ετη; ουχι εις τους αμαρτησαντας, των οποιων τα κωλα επεσον εν τη ερημω;	17 With whom was he "provoked for forty years"? Was it not those who had sinned, whose corpses fell in the desert?
18 Προς τινας δε ωμοσεν οτι δεν θελουσιν εισελθει εις την καταπαυσιν αυτου, ειμη προς τους απειθησαντας;	18 And to whom did he "swear that they should not enter into his rest," if not to those who were disobedient?
19 Και βλεπομεν οτι δια απιστιαν δεν ηδυνηθησαν να εισελθωσι.	19 And we see that they could not enter for lack of faith.
