Epistula ad Hebraeos, 3
1. unde fratres sancti vocationis cælestis participes considerate apostolum et pontificem confessionis nostræ Jesum
1. Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:
2. qui fidelis est ei qui fecit illum sicut et Moses in omni domo illius
2. Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.
3. amplioris enim gloriæ iste præ Mose dignus habitus est quanto ampliorem honorem habet domus qui fabricavit illam
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.
4. omnis namque domus fabricatur ab aliquo qui autem omnia creavit Deus
4. For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things, is God.
5. et Moses quidem fidelis erat in tota domo ejus tamquam famulus in testimonium eorum quæ dicenda erant
5. And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:
6. Christus vero tamquam filius in domo sua quæ domus sumus nos si fiduciam et gloriam spei usque ad finem firmam retineamus
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.
7. quapropter sicut dicit Spiritus Sanctus hodie si vocem ejus audieritis
7. Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: To day if you shall hear his voice,
8. nolite obdurare corda vestra sicut in exacerbatione secundum diem temptationis in deserto
8. Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert,
9. ubi temptaverunt me patres vestri probaverunt et viderunt opera mea
9. Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,
10. quadraginta annos propter quod infensus fui generationi huic et dixi semper errant corde ipsi autem non cognoverunt vias meas
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,
11. sicut juravi in ira mea si introibunt in requiem meam
11. As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.
12. videte fratres ne forte sit in aliquo vestrum cor malum incredulitatis discedendi a Deo vivo
12. Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.
13. sed adhortamini vosmet ipsos per singulos dies donec hodie cognominatur ut non obduretur quis ex vobis fallacia peccati
13. But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called to day, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14. participes enim Christi effecti sumus si tamen initium substantiæ usque ad finem firmum retineamus
14. For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.
15. dum dicitur hodie si vocem ejus audieritis nolite obdurare corda vestra quemadmodum in illa exacerbatione
15. While it is said, To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.
16. quidam enim audientes exacerbaverunt sed non universi qui profecti sunt ab Ægypto per Mosen
16. For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17. quibus autem infensus est quadraginta annos nonne illis qui peccaverunt quorum cadavera prostrata sunt in deserto
17. And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?
18. quibus autem juravit non introire in requiem ipsius nisi illis qui increduli fuerunt
18. And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?
19. et videmus quia non potuerunt introire propter incredulitatem
19. And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
