Lettera agli Ebrei - Hebrews 4

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ας φοβηθωμεν λοιπον μηποτε, ενω μενει εις ημας επαγγελια να εισελθωμεν εις την καταπαυσιν αυτου, φανη τις εξ υμων οτι υστερηθη αυτης.	1 Therefore, let us be on our guard while the promise of entering into his rest remains, that none of you seem to have failed.
2 Διοτι ημεις ευηγγελισθημεν, καθως και εκεινοι? αλλα δεν ωφελησεν εκεινους ο λογος, τον οποιον ηκουσαν, επειδη δεν ητο εις τους ακουσαντας ηνωμενος με την πιστιν.	2 For in fact we have received the good news just as they did. But the word that they heard did not profit them, for they were not united in faith with those who listened.
3 Διοτι εισερχομεθα εις την καταπαυσιν ημεις οι πιστευσαντες, καθως ειπεν? Ουτως ωμοσα εν τη οργη μου, δεν θελουσιν εισελθει εις την καταπαυσιν μου? αν και τα εργα αυτου ετελειωσαν απο καταβολης κοσμου.	3 For we who believed enter into (that) rest, just as he has said: "As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter into my rest,'" and yet his works were accomplished at the foundation of the world.
4 Διοτι ειπεν εν μερει τινι περι της εβδομης ουτω? Και κατεπαυσεν ο Θεος εν τη ημερα τη εβδομη απο παντων των εργων αυτου?	4 For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this manner, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works";
5 και εν τουτω παλιν? Δεν θελουσιν εισελθει εις την καταπαυσιν μου.	5 and again, in the previously mentioned place, "They shall not enter into my rest."
6 Επειδη λοιπον μενει να εισελθωσι τινες εις αυτην, και οι προτερον ευαγγελισθεντες δεν εισηλθον δι' απειθειαν	6 Therefore, since it remains that some will enter into it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience,
7 παλιν διοριζει ημεραν τινα, Σημερον, λεγων δια του Δαβιδ, μετα τοσουτον καιρον, καθως ειρηται? Σημερον, εαν της φωνης αυτου ακουσητε, μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας σας.	7 he once more set a day, "today," when long afterwards he spoke through David, as already quoted: "Oh, that today you would hear his voice: 'Harden not your hearts.'"
8 Διοτι εαν ο Ιησους σου Ναυη ειχε δωσει εις αυτους καταπαυσιν, δεν ηθελε μετα ταυτα λαλει περι αλλης ημερας.	8 Now if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterwards of another day.
9 Αρα μενει καταπαυσις εις τον λαον του Θεου.	9 Therefore, a sabbath rest still remains for the people of God.
10 Διοτι ο εισελθων εις την καταπαυσιν αυτου και αυτος κατεπαυσεν απο των εργων αυτου, καθως ο Θεος απο των εαυτου.	10 And whoever enters into God's rest, rests from his own works as God did from his.
11 Ας σπουδασωμεν λοιπον να εισελθωμεν εις εκεινην την καταπαυσιν, δια να μη πεση τις εις το αυτο παραδειγμα της απειθειας.	11 Therefore, let us strive to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall after the same example of disobedience.
12 Διοτι ο λογος του Θεου ειναι ζων και ενεργος και κοπτερωτερος υπερ πασαν διστομον μαχαιραν και διερχεται μεχρι διαιρεσεως ψυχης τε και πνευματος, αρμων τε και μυελων, και διερευνα τους διαλογισμους και τας εννοιας της καρδιας?	12 Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.
13 και δεν ειναι ουδεν κτισμα αφανες ενωπιον αυτου, αλλα παντα ειναι γυμνα και τετραχηλισμενα εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου, προς ον εχομεν να δωσωμεν λογον.	13 No creature is concealed from him, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.
14 Εχοντες λοιπον αρχιερεα μεγαν, οστις διηλθε τους ουρανους, Ιησουν τον Υιον του Θεου, ας κρατωμεν την ομολογιαν.	14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.
15 Διοτι δεν εχομεν αρχιερεα μη δυναμενον να συμπαθηση εις τας ασθενειας ημων, αλλα πειρασθεντα κατα παντα καθ ' ομοιοτητα ημων χωρις αμαρτιας.	15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin.
16 Ας πλησιαζωμεν λοιπον μετα παρρησιας εις τον θρονον της χαριτος, δια να λαβωμεν ελεος και να ευρωμεν χαριν προς βοηθειαν εν καιρω χρειας.	16 So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help.
