| 1 ܡܟܝܠ ܐܚܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܬܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܒܩܪܝܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܠܗܢܐ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܪܒ ܟܘܡܪܐ ܕܬܘܕܝܬܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀ | 1 Therefore, holy "brothers," sharing in a heavenly calling, reflect on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, |
| 2 ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܠܡܢ ܕܥܒܕܗ ܐܝܟ ܡܘܫܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܒܝܬܗ ܀ | 2 who was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was "faithful in (all) his house." |
| 3 ܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܕܗܢܐ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܤܓܝ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܕܒܢܝܗ ܕܒܝܬܐ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܗ ܀ | 3 But he is worthy of more "glory" than Moses, as the founder of a house has more "honor" than the house itself. |
| 4 ܟܠ ܒܝܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܐܢܫ ܗܘ ܡܬܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܢܐ ܟܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܀ | 4 Every house is founded by someone, but the founder of all is God. |
| 5 ܘܡܘܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܬܗܝܡܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܟܠܗ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܡܬܡܠܠܘ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܀ | 5 Moses was "faithful in all his house" as a "servant" to testify to what would be spoken, |
| 6 ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܒܪܐ ܥܠ ܒܝܬܗ ܘܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܚܢܢ ܐܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܢܐܚܘܕ ܓܠܝܘܬ ܐܦܐ ܘܫܘܒܗܪܐ ܕܤܒܪܗ ܀ | 6 but Christ was faithful as a son placed over his house. We are his house, if (only) we hold fast to our confidence and pride in our hope. |
| 7 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ ܐܢ ܒܩܠܗ ܬܫܡܥܘܢ ܀ | 7 Therefore, as the holy Spirit says: "Oh, that today you would hear his voice, |
| 8 ܠܐ ܬܩܫܘܢ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܡܪܓܙܘܬܗ ܐܝܟ ܡܡܪܡܪܢܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܢܤܝܘܢܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܀ | 8 'Harden not your hearts as at the rebellion in the day of testing in the desert, |
| 9 ܕܢܤܝܘܢܝ ܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܘܒܩܘ ܚܙܘ ܥܒܕܝ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܀ | 9 where your ancestors tested and tried me and saw my works |
| 10 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܡܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܒܕܪܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܕܥܡܐ ܗܘ ܕܛܥܐ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܐܘܪܚܬܝ ܀ | 10 for forty years. Because of this I was provoked with that generation and I said, "They have always been of erring heart, and they do not know my ways." |
| 11 ܘܐܝܟ ܕܝܡܝܬ ܒܪܘܓܙܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܢܝܚܬܝ ܀ | 11 As I swore in my wrath, "They shall not enter into my rest."'" |
| 12 ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܚܝ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܠܒܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܘܬܦܪܩܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܀ | 12 Take care, brothers, that none of you may have an evil and unfaithful heart, so as to forsake the living God. |
| 13 ܐܠܐ ܒܥܘ ܡܢ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܩܫܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܒܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܀ | 13 Encourage yourselves daily while it is still "today," so that none of you may grow hardened by the deceit of sin. |
| 14 ܐܬܚܠܛܢ ܓܝܪ ܥܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܢ ܡܢ ܪܝܫܝܬܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܚܪܝܬܐ ܒܗ ܒܩܝܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܢܚܡܤܢ ܀ | 14 We have become partners of Christ if only we hold the beginning of the reality firm until the end, |
| 15 ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܝܪ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ ܐܢ ܒܪܬ ܩܠܗ ܬܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܩܫܘܢ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܡܪܓܙܘܬܗ ܀ | 15 for it is said: "Oh, that today you would hear his voice: 'Harden not your hearts as at the rebellion.'" |
| 16 ܡܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܘܐܪܓܙܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܒܝܕ ܡܘܫܐ ܀ | 16 Who were those who rebelled when they heard? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt under Moses? |
| 17 ܘܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܡܐܢܬ ܠܗ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܛܘ ܘܓܪܡܝܗܘܢ ܢܦܠܘ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܀ | 17 With whom was he "provoked for forty years"? Was it not those who had sinned, whose corpses fell in the desert? |
| 18 ܘܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܝܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܢܝܚܬܗ ܐܠܐ ܥܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܛܦܝܤܘ ܀ | 18 And to whom did he "swear that they should not enter into his rest," if not to those who were disobedient? |
| 19 ܘܚܙܝܢܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܡܥܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܀ | 19 And we see that they could not enter for lack of faith. |
