1 T herefore, while the promise of entering His rest still holds and is offered, let us be afraid '> to distrust it], lest any of you should think he has come too late and has come short of it.

Посему будем опасаться, чтобы, когда еще остается обетование войти в покой Его, не оказался кто из вас опоздавшим.

2 F or indeed we have had the glad tidings proclaimed to us just as truly as they; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they united in faith with the ones who heard (did believe).

Ибо и нам оно возвещено, как и тем; но не принесло им пользы слово слышанное, не растворенное верою слышавших.

3 F or we who have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on God) do enter that rest, in accordance with His declaration that those should not enter when He said, As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest; and this He said although works had been completed and prepared from the foundation of the world.

А входим в покой мы уверовавшие, так как Он сказал: 'Я поклялся в гневе Моем, что они не войдут в покой Мой', хотя дела были совершены еще в начале мира.

4 F or in a certain place He has said this about the seventh day: And God rested on the seventh day from all His works.

Ибо негде сказано о седьмом так: и почил Бог в день седьмый от всех дел Своих.

5 A nd in this He said, They shall not enter My rest.

И еще здесь: 'не войдут в покой Мой'.

6 S eeing then that the promise remains over for some to enter that rest, and that those who formerly were given the good news about it and the opportunity, failed to appropriate it and did not enter because of disobedience,

Итак, как некоторым остается войти в него, а те, которым прежде возвещено, не вошли в него за непокорность,

7 A gain He sets a definite day, Today, saying through David after so long a time in the words already quoted, Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts.

еще определяет некоторый день, 'ныне', говоря через Давида, после столь долгого времени, как выше сказано: 'ныне, когда услышите глас Его, не ожесточите сердец ваших'.

8 F or if Joshua had given them rest, He would not speak afterward about another day.

Ибо если бы Иисус доставил им покой, то не было бы сказано после того о другом дне.

9 S o then, there is still awaiting a full and complete Sabbath-rest reserved for the people of God;

Посему для народа Божия еще остается субботство.

10 F or he who has once entered rest also has ceased from of human labors, just as God rested from those labors peculiarly His own.

Ибо, кто вошел в покой Его, тот и сам успокоился от дел своих, как и Бог от Своих.

11 L et us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest, that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience.

Итак постараемся войти в покой оный, чтобы кто по тому же примеру не впал в непокорность.

12 F or the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and spirit, and of joints and marrow, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

Ибо слово Божие живо и действенно и острее всякого меча обоюдоострого: оно проникает до разделения души и духа, составов и мозгов, и судит помышления и намерения сердечные.

13 A nd not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.

И нет твари, сокровенной от Него, но все обнажено и открыто перед очами Его: Ему дадим отчет.

14 I nasmuch then as we have a great High Priest Who has ascended and passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

Итак, имея Первосвященника великого, прошедшего небеса, Иисуса Сына Божия, будем твердо держаться исповедания.

15 F or we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.

Ибо мы имеем не такого первосвященника, который не может сострадать нам в немощах наших, но Который, подобно, искушен во всем, кроме греха.

16 L et us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in good time for every need.

Посему да приступаем с дерзновением к престолу благодати, чтобы получить милость и обрести благодать для благовременной помощи.
