1 L et us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.

Na, kia mataku tatou, i te mea ka tukua iho nei he korero pai mo tatou kia tae atu ki tona okiokinga, kei tirohia mai tetahi o koutou kua mahue ki muri.

2 F or indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

He mea kauwhau hoki te rongopai ki a tatou, he pera ano me tera i a ratou: heoi kihai te kupu i rangona i whai pai ki a ratou; no te mea kihai i whakananua ki te whakapono i roto i te hunga i rangona ai.

3 F or we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Ka taea hoki te okiokinga e tatou kua whakapono nei; ka rite ki tana i ki ra, Na reira i riri ai ahau, i oati ai hoki, e kore ratou e tae ki toku okiokinga: kua oti na hoki nga mahi i te timatanga ra ano o te ao.

4 F or he hath said somewhere of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;

Ko tana kupu hoki tenei i tetahi wahi mo te ra whitu, A ka okioki te Atua i te ra whitu i ana mahi katoa.

5 a nd in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest.

I tenei wahi ano hoki, E kore ratou e tae ki toku okiokinga.

6 S eeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

Na, tera atu ano he taenga mo etahi ki reira; kihai hoki te hunga i kauwhautia ai te rongopai ki a ratou i mua i tae, no te mea kahore o ratou whakapono:

7 h e again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.

A ka motuhia mai e ia tetahi ra, i a ia i mea ra i ta Rawiri, Hei aianei, i muri i taua wa roa ra; ko te kupu hoki tenei, Hei aianei, ki te rongo koutou ki tona reo, kaua e whakapakeketia o koutou ngakau.

8 F or if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.

Mehemea hoki i whai okiokinga ratou i a Hohua, e kore e korerotia e ia tetahi atu ra i muri iho.

9 T here remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.

Ina, tera atu ano he hapati okiokinga mo te iwi o te Atua.

10 F or he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

Ki te tae hoki te tangata ki tona okiokinga, ka okioki ano ia i ana mahi ake, ka pera me te Atua i okioki i ana mahi ake.

11 L et us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.

Na, kia puta to tatou uaua ki te tomo ki taua okiokinga, kei pera te whakaponokore o tetahi, a ka hinga.

12 F or the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Ora tonu hoki te kupu a te Atua, mana tonu, koi rawa atu i tetahi hoari matarua, ngoto tonu, a wehea noatia te ngakau me te wairua, nga ponapona me te hinu wheua, a wawae ana ano i nga whakaaro, i nga hihiritanga o te ngakau.

13 A nd there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Kahore hoki he mea hanga i ngaro ki tona aroaro: heoi e takoto kau ana, e tuwhera ana nga mea katoa ki ona kanohi, kei a ia nei he kupu mo tatou.

14 H aving then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

Na, he tino tohunga nui to tatou, kua tomo ki nga rangi, a Ihu, te Tama a te Atua, kia mau pu tatou ki te tikanga i whakaaetia e tatou.

15 F or we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Ehara hoki to tatou i te tohunga nui e kore e ahei kia mamae tahi me tatou e ngoikore nei; i whakamatautauria nei hoki ia i nga mea katoa, i i peneitia me tatou, kahore ia he hara.

16 L et us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need.

Na, kia haere maia atu tatou ki te torona o te aroha noa, kia puta mai ai ki a tatou te mahi tohu, kia kitea ai e tatou ta te aroha noa hei awhina mai mo nga wa e mate ai.
