1 Let vs feare therfore, lest at any tyme, by forsakyng the promise of entryng into his reste, any of you shoulde be defrauded. Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.
2 For vnto vs was the Gospell preached, aswell as vnto them: But the worde whiche they hearde dyd not profite them, not beyng coupled with fayth to them that hearde. For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.
3 For we which haue beleued, do enter into his rest, as he sayde: Euen as I haue sworne in my wrath, if they shal enter into my rest. Although the workes were made perfecte from the foundation of the worlde. For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest,’” although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’” And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certayne place of the seuenth daye on this wyse: And God dyd rest the seuenth daye from all his workes. For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”
5 And in this place againe: yf they shall enter into my rest. And again in this passage he said, “They shall not enter my rest.” And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”
6 Seing therfore it foloweth, that some must enter there into, and they to who the Gospell was first preached entred not therin for vnbeliefe. Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience,
7 Againe, he appoynteth a certaine day, by to day, saying in Dauid after so long a tyme (as it is sayde:) To day yf ye wyl heare his voyce, harde not your hearts. again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
8 For yf Iesus had geuen them reste, then woulde he not afterwarde haue spoken of another day. For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
9 There remayneth therfore yet a rest to the people of God. So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;
10 For he that is entred into his rest, hath ceassed also from his owne workes, as God dyd from his. for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.
11 Let vs studie therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same ensample of disobedience. Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
12 For the worde of God is quicke, and myghtie in operation, and sharper then any two edged sword, and entreth thorowe, euen vnto the deuydyng a sunder of the soule & the spirite, and of the ioyntes & the marie, and is a discerner of the thoughtes and of the intentes of the heart: For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in the syght of hym: But all thinges are naked and open vnto the eyes of hym of whom we speake. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
14 Seyng then that we haue a great hye priest, which is entred into heauens, Iesus the sonne of God, let vs holde faste the confession. Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
15 For we haue not an hye priest whiche can not be touched with the feelyng of our infirmities: but was in all poyntes tempted lyke as we are, and yet without sinne. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
16 Let vs therfore come boldly vnto the throne of grace, that we may obteyne mercie, and fynde grace to helpe in time of neede. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
