Hebrews 4

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 Let us beware, then: since the promise never lapses, none of you must think that he has come too latefor the promise of entering his place of rest.	1 Timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introëundi in requiem ejus, existimetur aliquis ex vobis deesse.
2 We received the gospel exactly as they did; but hearing the message did them no good because theydid not share the faith of those who did listen.	2 Etenim et nobis nuntiatum est, quemadmodum et illis : sed non profuit illis sermo auditus, non admistus fidei ex iis quæ audierunt.
3 We, however, who have faith, are entering a place of rest, as in the text: And then in my anger I sworethat they would never enter my place of rest. Now God's work was al finished at the beginning of the world;	3 Ingrediemur enim in requiem, qui credidimus : quemadmodum dixit : Sicut juravi in ira mea : Si introibunt in requiem meam : et quidem operibus ab institutione mundi perfectis.
4 as one text says, referring to the seventh day: And God rested on the seventh day after all the work hehad been doing.	4 Dixit enim in quodam loco de die septima sic : Et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis.
5 And, again, the passage above says: They will never reach my place of rest.	5 Et in isto rursum : Si introibunt in requiem meam.
6 It remains the case, then, that there would be some people who would reach it, and since those whofirst heard the good news were prevented from entering by their refusal to believe,	6 Quoniam ergo superest introire quosdam in illam, et ii, quibus prioribus annuntiatum est, non introierunt propter incredulitatem :
7 God fixed another day, a Today, when he said through David in the text already quoted: If only youwould listen to him today; do not harden your hearts.	7 iterum terminat diem quemdam, Hodie, in David dicendo, post tantum temporis, sicut supra dictum est : Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra.
8 If Joshua had led them into this place of rest, God would not later have spoken of another day.	8 Nam si eis Jesus requiem præstitisset, numquam de alia loqueretur, posthac, die.
9 There must stil be, therefore, a seventh-day rest reserved for God's people,	9 Itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei.
10 since to enter the place of rest is to rest after your work, as God did after his.	10 Qui enim ingressus est in requiem ejus, etiam ipse requievit ab operibus suis, sicut a suis Deus.
11 Let us, then, press forward to enter this place of rest, or some of you might copy this example ofrefusal to believe and be lost.	11 Festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem : ut ne in idipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum.
12 The word of God is something alive and active: it cuts more incisively than any two-edged sword: itcan seek out the place where soul is divided from spirit, or joints from marrow; it can pass judgement on secretemotions and thoughts.	12 Vivus est enim sermo Dei, et efficax et penetrabilior omni gladio ancipiti : et pertingens usque ad divisionem animæ ac spiritus : compagum quoque ac medullarum, et discretor cogitationum et intentionum cordis.
13 No created thing is hidden from him; everything is uncovered and stretched fully open to the eyes ofthe one to whom we must give account of ourselves.	13 Et non est ulla creatura invisibilis in conspectu ejus : omnia autem nuda et aperta sunt oculis ejus, ad quem nobis sermo.
14 Since in Jesus, the Son of God, we have the supreme high priest who has gone through to the highestheaven, we must hold firm to our profession of faith.	14 Habentes ergo pontificem magnum qui penetravit cælos, Jesum Filium Dei, teneamus confessionem.
15 For the high priest we have is not incapable of feeling our weaknesses with us, but has been put tothe test in exactly the same way as ourselves, apart from sin.	15 Non enim habemus pontificem qui non possit compati infirmitatibus nostris : tentatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato.
16 Let us, then, have no fear in approaching the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace whenwe are in need of help.	16 Adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiæ : ut misericordiam consequamur, et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio opportuno.
