Hebrews 3

1 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.

1 إِذَنْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ الْقِدِّيسُونَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَكْتُمْ فِي الدَّعْوَةِ السَّمَاوِيَّةِ، تَأَمَّلُوا يَسُوعَ: الرَّسُولَ وَرَئِيسَ الْكَهَنَةِ فِي الإِيمَانِ الَّذِي نَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ.

2 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

2 فَهُوَ أَمِينٌ لِلهِ فِي الْمُهِمَّةِ الَّتِي عَيَّنَهُ لَهَا، كَمَا كَانَ مُوسَى أَمِيناً فِي الْقِيَامِ بِخِدْمَتِهِ فِي بَيْتِ اللهِ كُلِّهِ.

3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.

3 إِلّا أَنَّهُ يَسْتَحِقُّ مَجْداً أَعْظَمَ مِنْ مَجْدِ مُوسَى، كَمَا أَنَّ الَّذِي يَبْنِي بَيْتاً يَنَالُ إِكْرَاماً وَمَدْحاً أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا يَنَالُ الْبَيْتُ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ!

4 And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

4 طَبْعاً، كُلُّ بَيْتٍ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ بَانٍ، وَاللهُ نَفْسُهُ هُوَ بَانِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

5 Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.

5 إِنَّ مُوسَى كَانَ أَمِيناً فِي كُلِّ بَيْتِ اللهِ، وَلَكِنْ بِصِفَتِهِ خَادِماً. وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ شَهَادَةً لِمَا أَعْلَنَهُ اللهُ فِيمَا بَعْدُ.

6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

6 أَمَّا الْمَسِيحُ، فَهُوَ أَمِينٌ بِصِفَتِهِ ابْناً يَتَرَأَّسُ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ. وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ هُوَ نَحْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، عَلَى أَنْ نَتَمَسَّكَ بِالثِّقَةِ وَالافْتِخَارِ بِرَجَائِنَا تَمَسُّكاً ثَابِتاً حَتَّى النِّهَايَةِ.

7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,

7 لِهَذَا، يُنَبِّهُنَا الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ إِذْ يَقُولُ: «الْيَوْمَ، إِنْ سَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَهُ،

8 do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,

8 فَلا تُقَسُّوا قُلُوبَكُمْ، كَمَا حَدَثَ قَدِيماً، حِينَ أَثَارَ آبَاؤُكُمْ غَضَبِي، يَوْمَ التَّجْرِبَةِ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ.

9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.

9 هُنَاكَ جَرَّبُونِي وَاخْتَبَرُونِي، وَقَدْ شَاهَدُوا أَعْمَالِي طَوَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’

10 لِذَلِكَ ثَارَ غَضَبِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجِيلِ، وَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ تَدْفَعُهُمْ دَائِماً إِلَى الضَّلالِ، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا طُرُقِي قَطُّ!

11 So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”

11 وَهكَذَا، فِي غَضَبِي، أَقْسَمْتُ قَائِلاً: إِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَانَ رَاحَتِي!»

12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.

12 فَعَلَيْكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنْ تَأْخُذُوا حِذْرَكُمْ جَيِّداً، حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ قَلْبُ أَيِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ شِرِّيراً لَا إِيمَانَ فِيهِ، مِمَّا يُؤَدِّي بِهِ إِلَى الارْتِدَادِ عَنِ اللهِ الْحَيِّ.

13 But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

13 وَإِنَّمَا، شَجِّعُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً كُلَّ يَوْمٍ، مَادُمْنَا نَقُولُ: «الْيَوْمَ». وَذَلِكَ لِكَيْ لَا تُقَسِّيَ الْخَطِيئَةُ قَلْبَ أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ بِخِدَاعِهَا.

14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.

14 فَإِنْ تَمَسَّكْنَا دَائِماً بِالثِّقَةِ الَّتِي انْطَلَقْنَا بِها فِي الْبِدَايَةِ، وَأَبْقَيْنَاهَا ثَابِتَةً إِلَى النِّهَايَةِ، نَكُونُ مُشَارِكِينَ لِلْمَسِيحِ.

15 As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”

15 فَمَازَالَ التَّحْذِيرُ مُوَجَّهاً إِلَيْنَا: «الْيَوْمَ، إِنْ سَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَهُ، فَلا تُقَسُّوا قُلُوبَكُمْ، كَمَا حَدَثَ قَدِيماً عِنْدَمَا أُثِيرَ غَضَبِي!»

16 For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?

16 فَمَنْ هُمُ الَّذِينَ أَثَارُوا غَضَبَ اللهِ عِنْدَمَا سَمِعُوا الدَّعْوَةَ وَرَفَضُوهَا؟ إِنَّهُمْ ذَلِكَ الشَّعْبُ الَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِقِيَادَةِ مُوسَى!

17 And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

17 وَعَلَى مَنْ ثَارَ غَضَبُ اللهِ مُدَّةَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً؟ عَلَى أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ أَخْطَأُوا، فَسَقَطَتْ جُثَثُهُمْ مُتَنَاثِرَةً فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ!

18 And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?

18 وَلِمَنْ أَقْسَمَ اللهُ أَنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَدْخُلُوا أَبَداً مَكَانَ رَاحَتِهِ؟ لِلَّذِينَ عَصَوْا أَمْرَهُ!

19 So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.

19 وَهكَذَا، نَرَى أَنَّ عَدَمَ الإِيمَانِ مَنَعَهُمْ مِنَ الدُّخُولِ إِلَى مَكَانِ الرَّاحَةِ.
