3:1 Unde, fratres sancti, vocationis cælestis participes, considerate Apostolum, et pontificem confessionis nostræ Jesum :

3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:

3:2 qui fidelis est ei, qui fecit illum, sicut et Moyses in omni domo ejus.

3:2 Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.

3:3 Amplioris enim gloriæ iste præ Moyse dignus est habitus, quanto ampliorem honorem habet domus, qui fabricavit illam.

3:3 For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house hath greater honour than the house.

3:4 Omnis namque domus fabricatur ab aliquo : qui autem omnia creavit, Deus est.

3:4 For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things is God.

3:5 Et Moyses quidem fidelis erat in tota domo ejus tamquam famulus, in testimonium eorum, quæ dicenda erant :

3:5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:

3:6 Christus vero tamquam filius in domo sua : quæ domus sumus nos, si fiduciam, et gloriam spei usque ad finem, firmam retineamus.

3:6 But Christ, as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.

3:7 Quapropter sicut dicit Spiritus Sanctus : Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis,

3:7 Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: To-day if you shall hear his voice,

3:8 nolite obdurare corda vestra, sicut in exacerbatione secundum diem tentationis in deserto,

3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the desert,

3:9 ubi tentaverunt me patres vestri : probaverunt, et viderunt opera mea

3:9 Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,

3:10 quadraginta annis : propter quod infensus fui generationi huic, et dixi : Semper errant corde. Ipsi autem non cognoverunt vias meas,

3:10 Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways.

3:11 sicut juravi in ira mea : Si introibunt in requiem meam.

3:11 As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.

3:12 Videte fratres, ne forte sit in aliquo vestrum cor malum incredulitatis, discedendi a Deo vivo :

3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.

3:13 sed adhortamini vosmetipsos per singulos dies, donec hodie cognominatur, ut non obduretur quis ex vobis fallacia peccati.

3:13 But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called to day, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

3:14 Participes enim Christi effecti sumus, si tamen initium substantiæ ejus usque ad finem firmum retineamus.

3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.

3:15 Dum dicitur : Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra, quemadmodum in illa exacerbatione.

3:15 While it is said: To day, if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.

3:16 Quidam enim audientes exacerbaverunt : sed non universi qui profecti sunt ex Ægypto per Moysen.

3:16 For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

3:17 Quibus autem infensus est quadraginta annis ? nonne illis qui peccaverunt, quorum cadavera prostrata sunt in deserto ?

3:17 And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?

3:18 Quibus autem juravit non introire in requiem ipsius, nisi illis qui increduli fuerunt ?

3:18 And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?

3:19 Et videmus, quia non potuerunt introire propter incredulitatem.

3:19 And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
