1 לָכֵן אַחַי הַקְּדוֹשִׁים חֲבֵרִים לַקְּרִיאָה שֶׁל־מַעְלָה הַבִּיטוּ אֶל־הַשָּׁלִיחַ וְכֹהֵן הוֹדָיָתֵנוּ הַגָּדוֹל אֶל־הַמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ | 1 Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus. |
2 אֲשֶׁר־הוּא נֶאֱמָן לְעֹשֵׂהוּ כְּמוֹ גַם־משֶׁה בְּכָל־בֵּיתוֹ | 2 He is faithful to the One who made him, just as Moses also was, with his entire house. |
3 כִּי־כָבוֹד גָּדוֹל מִמּשֶׁה נָחַל־זֶה כַּאֲשֶׁר בֹּנֵה הַבַּיִת חָשׁוּב יוֹתֵר מִן־הַבָּיִת | 3 For this Jesus was considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, so much so that the house which he has built holds a greater honor than the former one. |
4 כִּי כָל־בַּיִת יֶשׁ־לוֹ בֹנֶה אֲבָל בּוֹנֵה כֹל הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים | 4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the One who has created all things. |
5 וְהֵן משֶׁה נֶאֱמָן בְּכָל־בֵּיתוֹ כְּעֶבֶד לְעֵדוּת הַדְּבָרִים הָעֲתִידִים לְהֵאָמֵר | 5 And certainly Moses was faithful, with his entire house, like any servant, as a testimony to those things that would soon be said. |
6 אֲבָל הַמָּשִׁיחַ הוּא הַבֵּן עַל־בֵּיתוֹ וַאֲנַחְנוּ בֵיתוֹ אִם־נַחֲזִיק בַּבִּטָּחוֹן וּבִתְהִלַּת הַתִּקְוָה וְלֹא־נַרְפֶּנָּה עַד־הַקֵּץ | 6 Yet truly, Christ is like a Son in his own house. We are that house, if we firmly retain the faithfulness and the glory of hope, even unto the end. |
7 לָכֵן כְּמַאֲמַר רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ הַיּוֹם אִם־בְּקֹלוֹ תִשְׁמָעוּ | 7 Because of this, it is just as the Holy Spirit says: “If today you hear his voice, |
8 אַל־תַּקְשׁוּ לְבַבְכֶם כִּמְרִיבָה כְּיוֹם מַסָּה בַּמִּדְבָּר | 8 harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, the very day of temptation, in the desert, |
9 אֲשֶׁר נִסּוּנִי אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם בְּחָנוּנִי גַּם־רָאוּ פָעֳלִי אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה | 9 where your fathers tested me, even though they had seen and examined my works for forty years. |
10 לָכֵן אָקוּט בַּדּוֹר וָאֹמַר עַם תֹּעֵי לֵבָב הֵם וְהֵם לֹא־יָדְעוּ דְרָכָי | 10 For this reason, I was enraged against this generation, and I said: They always wander astray in heart. For they have not known my ways. |
11 אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי בְאַפִּי אִם־יְבֹאוּן אֶל־מְנוּחָתִי | 11 So it is as I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest!” |
12 רְאוּ עַתָּה אֶחָי פֶּן־יֵשׁ בְּאֶחָד מִכֶּם לֶב־רַע וַחֲסַר אֱמוּנָה לָסוּר מֵאֱלֹהִים חַיִּים | 12 Be cautious, brothers, lest perhaps there may be, in any of you, an evil heart of unbelief, turning aside from the living God. |
13 אַךְ־הוֹכֵחַ תּוֹכִיחוּ אִישׁ אֶת־רֵעֵהוּ יוֹם יוֹם עַד־שֶׁיִּקָּרֵא הַיּוֹם לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יַקְשֶׁה אִישׁ מִכֶּם אֶת־לִבּוֹ בְּמַדּוּחֵי פָשַׁע | 13 Instead, exhort one another every day, while it is still called ‘today,’ so that none of you may become hardened through the falseness of sin. |
14 כִּי נִתְחַבַּרְנוּ לַמָּשִׁיחַ אִם־נַחֲזִיק בְּרֵאשִׁית הַבִּטְחָה וְלֹא נַרְפֶּנָּה עַד־הַקֵּץ | 14 For we have been made participants in Christ. This is only so, if we firmly retain the beginning of his substance, even unto the end. |
15 כַּאֲשֶׁר נֶאֱמַר הַיּוֹם אִם־בְּקֹלוֹ תִשְׁמָעוּ אַל־תַּקְשׁוּ לְבַבְכֶם כִּמְרִיבָה | 15 For it has been said: “If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, in the same manner as in the former provocation.” |
16 מִי אֵפוֹא אֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר שָׁמְעוּ וַיָּרִיבוּ הֲלֹא כָּל־יֹצְאֵי מִצְרַיִם בְּיַד־משֶׁה | 16 For some of those listening did provoke him. But not all of these had set forth from Egypt through Moses. |
17 וּבְמִי הִתְקוֹטֵט אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה הֲלֹא בַחַטָּאִים אֲשֶׁר נָפְלוּ פִגְרֵיהֶם בַּמִּדְבָּר | 17 So against whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not those who had sinned, whose dead bodies lay prostrate in the desert? |
18 וּלְמִי נִשְׁבַּע לְבִלְתִּי־בֹא אֶל־מְנוּחָתוֹ אִם־לֹא לַסּוֹרְרִים | 18 But to whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, except to those who were incredulous? |
19 וַאֲנַחְנוּ רֹאִים כִּי לֹא יָכְלוּ לָבוֹא עַל־אֲשֶׁר לֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ | 19 And so, we perceive that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. |
