For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.
For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4:4
በከመይቤበእንተሰንበትወአዕረፈእግዚአብሔርበዕለተሰንበትእምኵሉግብሩ።
論到第七日,有一處說:「到第七日,上帝就歇了他一切的工。」
For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”
4:5
ወካዕበይቤ «ኢይበውኡውስተዕረፍትየ።»
又有一處說:「他們斷不可進入我的安息!」
and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”
4:6
እስመቦሰብእእለቦሙፍኖትከመይባኡህየወቀደምትሰሰሚዖሙኢቦኡእስመክሕዱ።
既有必進安息的人,那先前聽見福音的,因為不信從,不得進去。
Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,
he again defines a certain day, “today”, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.”
4:8
ሶበሰሎሙአዕረፎሙኢያሱእምኢይቤበእንተካልእእምድኅረእማንቱመዋዕል።
若是約書亞已叫他們享了安息,後來上帝就不再提別的日子了。
For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
4:9
ተዐውቀኬከመሀሎዕረፍትኀበይበውኡሕዝበእግዚአብሔርቀዋሚዘይነብር።
這樣看來,必另有一安息日的安息為上帝的子民存留。
There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
