3:1

Οθεν αδελφοι αγιοι κλησεως επουρανιου μετοχοι κατανοησατε τον Αποστολον και Αρχιερεα της ομολογιας ημων Ιησουν

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, even Jesus;

3:2

πιστον οντα τω ποιησαντι αυτον ως και Μωυσης εν ολω τω οικω αυτου

who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

3:3

Πλειονος γαρ ουτος δοξης παρα Μωυσην ηξιωται καθ οσον πλειονα τιμην εχει του οικου ο κατασκευασας αυτον

For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house.

¹

3:4

πας γαρ οικος κατασκευαζεται υπο τινος ο δε παντα κατασκευασας Θεος

For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.

3:5

Και Μωυσης μεν πιστος εν ολω τω οικω αυτου ως θεραπων εις μαρτυριον των λαληθησομενων

And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;

3:6

Χριστος δε ως υιος επι τον οικον αυτου ου οικος εσμεν ημεις εαν την παρρησιαν και το καυχημα της ελπιδος κατασχωμεν

but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end.

3:7

Διο καθως λεγει το Πνευμα το Αγιον Σημερον εαν της φωνης αυτου ακουσητε

Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,

3:8

μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας υμων ως εν τω παραπικρασμω κατα την ημεραν του πειρασμου εν τη ερημω

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

3:9

ου επειρασαν οι πατερες υμων εν δοκιμασια και ειδον τα εργα μου

Where your fathers tried me by proving me, And saw my works forty years.

3:10

τεσσερακοντα ετη διο προσωχθισα τη γενεα ταυτη και ειπον Αει πλανωνται τη καρδια αυτοι δε ουκ εγνωσαν τας οδους μου

Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;

3:11

ως ωμοσα εν τη οργη μου Ει εισελευσονται εις την καταπαυσιν μου

As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

3:12

Βλεπετε αδελφοι μηποτε εσται εν τινι υμων καρδια πονηρα απιστιας εν τω αποστηναι απο Θεου ζωντος

Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:

3:13

αλλα παρακαλειτε εαυτους καθ εκαστην ημεραν αχρις ου το Σημερον καλειται ινα μη σκληρυνθη τις εξ υμων απατη της αμαρτιας

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:

3:14

Μετοχοι γαρ του Χριστου γεγοναμεν εανπερ την αρχην της υποστασεως μεχρι τελους βεβαιαν κατασχωμεν

for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:

3:15

εν τω λεγεσθαι Σημερον εαν της φωνης αυτου ακουσητε Μη σκληρυνητε τας καρδιας υμων ως εν τω παραπικρασμω

while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

3:16

Τινες γαρ ακουσαντες παρεπικραναν αλλ ου παντες οι εξελθοντες εξ Αιγυπτου δια Μωυσεως

For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?

3:17

τισιν δε προσωχθισεν τεσσερακοντα ετη ουχι τοις αμαρτησασιν ων τα κωλα επεσεν εν τη ερημω

And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

3:18

τισιν δε ωμοσεν μη εισελευσεσθαι εις την καταπαυσιν αυτου ει μη τοις απειθησασιν

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?

3:19

και βλεπομεν οτι ουκ ηδυνηθησαν εισελθειν δι απιστιαν

And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
