1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house. 3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God. 5 Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken, 6 but Christ*3:6 "Christ" means "Anointed One". is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end. 7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says,

"Today if you will hear his voice,

8 don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion,

in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

9 where your fathers tested me and tried me,

and saw my deeds for forty years.

10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation,

and said, ‘They always err in their heart,

but they didn’t know my ways.’

11 As I swore in my wrath,

‘They will not enter into my rest.’"✝3:11 Psalms 95:7-11

12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; 13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today", lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end, 15 while it is said,

"Today if you will hear his voice,

don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."✝3:15 Psalms 95:7-8

16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? 17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.

1 Seepärast, pühad vennad ja õed, taevase kutsumise osasaajad, seadke oma mõtted Jeesusele, keda me tunnistame kui oma apostlit ja ülempreestrit! 2 Ta on ustav oma ametissemäärajale nagu Mooseski Jumala majapidamises. 3 Jeesus on Moosesest palju suurema austuse vääriline, nii nagu maja ehitajat austatakse enam kui maja ennast. 4 Iga maja on ju kellegi ehitatud, aga Jumal on ehitanud kõik. 5 Mooses oli ustav Jumala majapidamises kui sulane; tunnistuseks sellest, mida Jumal pidi tulevikus rääkima. 6 Kristus aga on kui ustav Poeg Jumala majapidamise üle. Tema majapidamine oleme meie, kui me peame kinni julgusest ja lootusest, millest me ka kiitleme.

7 Seepärast, nagu Püha Vaim ütleb:

„Täna, kui te kuulete tema häält,

8 ärge tehke oma südant kõvaks nii nagu vastuhaku ajal,

nõnda nagu kõrbes läbikatsumise päevil,

9 kus teie esiisad panid mind proovile,

kuigi nad nägid mu tegusid nelikümmend aastat.

10 Seepärast sain ma vihaseks selle sugupõlve peale

ja ütlesin: „Nende süda eksib üha kaugemale,

ja nad ei tunne minu teid."

11 Nii ma vandusin oma vihas:

„Iial ei saa nad minu hingamisse!" "

12 Vaadake ette, vennad ja õed, et kelleski teist ei oleks kuri uskmatu süda, mis loobub elavast Jumalast! 13 Selle asemel julgustage üksteist iga päev, niikaua kui veel öeldakse „täna", et keegi teist ei kalestuks patu petlikkuse läbi. 14 Sest meil kõigil on osa Kristusest, kui me vaid oma esimeses usus lõpuni kindlaks jääme. 15 Nii nagu äsja öeldi:

„Täna, kui te kuulete tema häält,

ärge tehke oma südant kõvaks nii nagu vastuhaku ajal!"

16 Kes siis olid need kuuljad, kes vastu hakkasid? Eks ju kõik need, kelle Mooses tõi välja Egiptusest? 17 Ja kelle peale oli ta vihane nelikümmend aastat? Eks ju nende peale, kes tegid pattu ja kelle ihud langesid kõrbes? 18 Ja kellele kinnitas Jumal vandega, et nad ei saa minna tema hingamisse, kui mitte neile, kes olid sõnakuulmatud? 19 Nii me näeme, et nad ei saanud sinna minna oma uskmatuse pärast.
