히브리서 4

1그러므로 우리는 두려워할지니 그의 안식에 들어갈 약속이 남아 있을지라도 너희 중에 혹 미치지 못할 자가 있을까 함이라 2저희와 같이 우리도 복음 전함을 받은 자이나 그러나 그 들은 바 말씀이 저희에게 유익되지 못한 것은 듣는 자가 믿음을 화합지 아니함이라 3이미 믿는 우리들은 저 안식에 들어가는도다 그 말씀하신 바와 같으니 내가 노하여 맹세한 바와 같이 저희가 내 안식에 들어오지 못하리라 하셨다 하였으나 세상을 창조할 때부터 그 일이 이루었느니라 4제칠일에 관하여는 어디 이렇게 일렀으되 하나님은 제칠일에 그의 모든 일을 쉬셨다 하였으며 5또 다시 거기 저희가 내 안식에 들어오지 못하리라 하였으니 6그러면 거기 들어갈 자들이 남아 있거니와 복음 전함을 먼저 받은 자들은 순종치 아니함을 인하여 들어가지 못하였으므로 7오랜 후에 다윗의 글에 다시 어느 날을 정하여 오늘날이라고 미리 이같이 일렀으되 오늘날 너희가 그의 음성을 듣거든 너희 마음을 강퍅케 말라 하였나니 8만일 여호수아가 저희에게 안식을 주었더면 그 후에 다른 날을 말씀하지 아니하셨으리라 9그런즉 안식할 때가 하나님의 백성에게 남아 있도다 10이미 그의 안식에 들어간 자는 하나님이 자기 일을 쉬심과 같이 자기 일을 쉬느니라 11그러므로 우리가 저 안식에 들어가기를 힘쓸지니 이는 누구든지 저 순종치 아니하는 본에 빠지지 않게 하려 함이라 12하나님의 말씀은 살았고 운동력이 있어 죄우에 날선 어떤 검보다도 예리하여 혼과 영과 및 관절과 골수를 찔러 쪼개기까지 하며 또 마음의 생각과 뜻을 감찰하나니 13지으신 것이 하나라도 그 앞에 나타나지 않음이 없고 오직 만물이 우리를 상관하시는 자의 눈 앞에 벌거벗은 것 같이 드러나느니라 14그러므로 우리에게 큰 대제사장이 있으니 승천하신 자 곧 하나님 아들 예수시라 우리가 믿는 도리를 굳게 잡을지어다 15우리에게 있는 대제사장은 우리 연약함을 체휼하지 아니하는 자가 아니요 모든 일에 우리와 한결 같이 시험을 받은 자로되 죄는 없으시니라 16그러므로 우리가 긍휼하심을 받고 때를 따라 돕는 은혜를 얻기 위하여 은혜의 보좌 앞에 담대히 나아갈 것이니라

1Let us fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest. 2For 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. 3For 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. 4For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works”; 5and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.” 6Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein, and they to whom the good news was before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience, 7he 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.” 8For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day. 9There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 10For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. 11Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience. 12For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and 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. 13There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account. 14Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession. 15For 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. 16Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.

1Laat ons dan vrezen, dat niet te eniger tijd, de belofte van in Zijn rust in te gaan nagelaten zijnde, iemand van u schijne achtergebleven te zijn. 2Want ook ons is het Evangelie verkondigd, gelijk als hun; maar het woord der prediking deed hun geen nut, dewijl het met het geloof niet gemengd was in degenen, die het gehoord hebben. 3Want wij, die geloofd hebben, gaan in de rust, gelijk Hij gezegd heeft: Zo heb Ik dan gezworen in Mijn toorn: Indien zij zullen ingaan in Mijn rust! hoewel Zijn werken van de grondlegging der wereld af al volbracht waren. 4Want Hij heeft ergens van den zevenden dag aldus gesproken: En God heeft op den zevenden dag van al Zijn werken gerust. 5En in deze plaats wederom: Indien zij in Mijn rust zullen ingaan! 6Dewijl dan blijft, dat sommigen in dezelve rust ingaan, en degenen, dien het Evangelie eerst verkondigd was, niet ingegaan zijn vanwege de ongehoorzaamheid, 7Zo bepaalt Hij wederom een zekeren dag, namelijk heden, door David zeggende, zo langen tijd daarna (gelijkerwijs gezegd is): Heden, indien gij Zijn stem hoort, zo verhardt uw harten niet. 8Want indien Jozua hen in de rust gebracht heeft, zo had Hij daarna niet gesproken van een anderen dag. 9Er blijft dan een rust over voor het volk Gods. 10Want die ingegaan is in zijn rust, heeft zelf ook van zijn werken gerust, gelijk God van de Zijne. 11Laat ons dan ons benaarstigen, om in die rust in te gaan; opdat niet iemand in hetzelfde voorbeeld der ongelovigheid valle. 12Want het Woord Gods is levend en krachtig, en scherpsnijdender dan enig tweesnijdend zwaard, en gaat door tot de verdeling der ziel, en des geestes, en der samenvoegselen, en des mergs, en is een oordeler der gedachten en der overleggingen des harten. 13En er is geen schepsel onzichtbaar voor Hem; maar alle dingen zijn naakt en geopend voor de ogen Desgenen, met Welken wij te doen hebben. 14Dewijl wij dan een groten Hogepriester hebben, Die door de hemelen doorgegaan is, namelijk Jezus, den Zoon van God, zo laat ons deze belijdenis vasthouden. 15Want wij hebben geen hogepriester, die niet kan medelijden hebben met onze zwakheden, maar Die in alle dingen, gelijk als wij, is verzocht geweest, doch zonder zonde. 16Laat ons dan met vrijmoedigheid toegaan tot den troon der genade, opdat wij barmhartigheid mogen verkrijgen, en genade vinden, om geholpen te worden ter bekwamer tijd.
