| 1 לָכֵן אַחַי הַקְּדוֹשִׁים חֲבֵרִים לַקְּרִיאָה שֶׁל־מַעְלָה הַבִּיטוּ אֶל־הַשָּׁלִיחַ וְכֹהֵן הוֹדָיָתֵנוּ הַגָּדוֹל אֶל־הַמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ | 1 Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession. |
| 2 אֲשֶׁר־הוּא נֶאֱמָן לְעֹשֵׂהוּ כְּמוֹ גַם־משֶׁה בְּכָל־בֵּיתוֹ | 2 He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in God's house. |
| 3 כִּי־כָבוֹד גָּדוֹל מִמּשֶׁה נָחַל־זֶה כַּאֲשֶׁר בֹּנֵה הַבַּיִת חָשׁוּב יוֹתֵר מִן־הַבָּיִת | 3 Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house. |
| 4 כִּי כָל־בַּיִת יֶשׁ־לוֹ בֹנֶה אֲבָל בּוֹנֵה כֹל הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים | 4 (For every house is built by some one, but the builder of all things is God.) |
| 5 וְהֵן משֶׁה נֶאֱמָן בְּכָל־בֵּיתוֹ כְּעֶבֶד לְעֵדוּת הַדְּבָרִים הָעֲתִידִים לְהֵאָמֵר | 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, |
| 6 אֲבָל הַמָּשִׁיחַ הוּא הַבֵּן עַל־בֵּיתוֹ וַאֲנַחְנוּ בֵיתוֹ אִם־נַחֲזִיק בַּבִּטָּחוֹן וּבִתְהִלַּת הַתִּקְוָה וְלֹא־נַרְפֶּנָּה עַד־הַקֵּץ | 6 but Christ was faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope. |
| 7 לָכֵן כְּמַאֲמַר רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ הַיּוֹם אִם־בְּקֹלוֹ תִשְׁמָעוּ | 7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today, when you hear his voice, |
| 8 אַל־תַּקְשׁוּ לְבַבְכֶם כִּמְרִיבָה כְּיוֹם מַסָּה בַּמִּדְבָּר | 8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, |
| 9 אֲשֶׁר נִסּוּנִי אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם בְּחָנוּנִי גַּם־רָאוּ פָעֳלִי אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה | 9 where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. |
| 10 לָכֵן אָקוּט בַּדּוֹר וָאֹמַר עַם תֹּעֵי לֵבָב הֵם וְהֵם לֹא־יָדְעוּ דְרָכָי | 10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, 'They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.' |
| 11 אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי בְאַפִּי אִם־יְבֹאוּן אֶל־מְנוּחָתִי | 11 As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall never enter my rest.'" |
| 12 רְאוּ עַתָּה אֶחָי פֶּן־יֵשׁ בְּאֶחָד מִכֶּם לֶב־רַע וַחֲסַר אֱמוּנָה לָסוּר מֵאֱלֹהִים חַיִּים | 12 Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away 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 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. |
| 14 כִּי נִתְחַבַּרְנוּ לַמָּשִׁיחַ אִם־נַחֲזִיק בְּרֵאשִׁית הַבִּטְחָה וְלֹא נַרְפֶּנָּה עַד־הַקֵּץ | 14 For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end, |
| 15 כַּאֲשֶׁר נֶאֱמַר הַיּוֹם אִם־בְּקֹלוֹ תִשְׁמָעוּ אַל־תַּקְשׁוּ לְבַבְכֶם כִּמְרִיבָה | 15 while it is said, "Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." |
| 16 מִי אֵפוֹא אֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר שָׁמְעוּ וַיָּרִיבוּ הֲלֹא כָּל־יֹצְאֵי מִצְרַיִם בְּיַד־משֶׁה | 16 Who were they that heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses? |
| 17 וּבְמִי הִתְקוֹטֵט אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה הֲלֹא בַחַטָּאִים אֲשֶׁר נָפְלוּ פִגְרֵיהֶם בַּמִּדְבָּר | 17 And with whom was he provoked forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? |
| 18 וּלְמִי נִשְׁבַּע לְבִלְתִּי־בֹא אֶל־מְנוּחָתוֹ אִם־לֹא לַסּוֹרְרִים | 18 And to whom did he swear that they should never enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? |
| 19 וַאֲנַחְנוּ רֹאִים כִּי לֹא יָכְלוּ לָבוֹא עַל־אֲשֶׁר לֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ | 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief. |
