Lettera agli Ebrei (عبرانيين) 4

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 فلنخف انه مع بقاء وعد بالدخول الى راحته يرى احد منكم انه قد خاب منه.	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.
2 لاننا نحن ايضا قد بشرنا كما اولئك لكن لم تنفع كلمة الخبر اولئك اذ لم تكن ممتزجة بالايمان في الذين سمعوا.	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.
3 لاننا نحن المؤمنين ندخل الراحة كما قال حتى اقسمت في غضبي لن يدخلوا راحتي. مع كون الاعمال قد أكملت منذ تأسيس العالم.	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;
4 لانه قال في موضع عن السابع هكذا واستراح الله في اليوم السابع من جميع اعماله.	4 as one text says, referring to the seventh day: And God rested on the seventh day after all the work hehad been doing.
5 وفي هذا ايضا لن يدخلوا راحتي.	5 And, again, the passage above says: They will never reach my place of rest.
6 فاذ بقي ان قوما يدخلونها والذين بشّروا اولا لم يدخلوا لسبب العصيان	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,
7 يعيّن ايضا يوما قائلا في داود اليوم بعد زمان هذا مقداره كما قيل اليوم ان سمعتم صوته فلا تقسّوا قلوبكم.	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.
8 لانه لو كان يشوع قد اراحهم لما تكلم بعد ذلك عن يوم آخر.	8 If Joshua had led them into this place of rest, God would not later have spoken of another day.
9 اذا بقيت راحة لشعب الله.	9 There must stil be, therefore, a seventh-day rest reserved for God's people,
10 لان الذي دخل راحته استراح هو ايضا من اعماله كما الله من اعماله.	10 since to enter the place of rest is to rest after your work, as God did after his.
11 فلنجتهد ان ندخل تلك الراحة لئلا يسقط احد في عبرة العصيان هذه عينها.	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.
12 لان كلمة الله حية وفعالة وامضى من كل سيف ذي حدين وخارقة الى مفرق النفس والروح والمفاصل والمخاخ ومميزة افكار القلب ونياته.	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.
13 وليس خليقة غير ظاهرة قدامه بل كل شيء عريان ومكشوف لعيني ذلك الذي معه امرنا	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.
14 فاذ لنا رئيس كهنة عظيم قد اجتاز السموات يسوع ابن الله فلنتمسك بالاقرار.	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.
15 لان ليس لنا رئيس كهنة غير قادر ان يرثي لضعفاتنا بل مجرب في كل شيء مثلنا بلا خطية	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.
16 فلنتقدم بثقة الى عرش النعمة لكي ننال رحمة ونجد نعمة عونا في حينه	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.
