Hebraeos 4

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introëundi in requiem ejus, existimetur aliquis ex vobis deesse.	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 Etenim et nobis nuntiatum est, quemadmodum et illis : sed non profuit illis sermo auditus, non admistus fidei ex iis quæ audierunt.	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 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.	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 Dixit enim in quodam loco de die septima sic : Et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis.	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 Et in isto rursum : Si introibunt in requiem meam.	5 and again, in the previously mentioned place, "They shall not enter into my rest."
6 Quoniam ergo superest introire quosdam in illam, et ii, quibus prioribus annuntiatum est, non introierunt propter incredulitatem :	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 iterum terminat diem quemdam, Hodie, in David dicendo, post tantum temporis, sicut supra dictum est : Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra.	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 Nam si eis Jesus requiem præstitisset, numquam de alia loqueretur, posthac, die.	8 Now if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterwards of another day.
9 Itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei.	9 Therefore, a sabbath rest still remains for the people of God.
10 Qui enim ingressus est in requiem ejus, etiam ipse requievit ab operibus suis, sicut a suis Deus.	10 And whoever enters into God's rest, rests from his own works as God did from his.
11 Festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem : ut ne in idipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum.	11 Therefore, let us strive to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall after the same example of disobedience.
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.	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 Et non est ulla creatura invisibilis in conspectu ejus : omnia autem nuda et aperta sunt oculis ejus, ad quem nobis sermo.	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 Habentes ergo pontificem magnum qui penetravit cælos, Jesum Filium Dei, teneamus confessionem.	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 Non enim habemus pontificem qui non possit compati infirmitatibus nostris : tentatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato.	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 Adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiæ : ut misericordiam consequamur, et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio opportuno.	16 So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help.
