For unto which of the messengers said he at any time - My Son, art, thou, I, this day have begotten thee? and again - I, will become, his father, and, he, shall become my Son?

But, to which of the messengers, hath he said, at any time - Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool?

saying - I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of an assembly, will I sing praise unto thee;

and again - I, will be confident upon him; and again - Lo! I, and the children which, unto me, God, hath given.

When your fathers tested by proving, and saw my works forty years.

Wherefore I was sore vexed with this generation, and said, Always err they in their heart; - howbeit, they, learned not my ways:

So I sware in mine anger - they shall not enter into my rest! -

For we who have believed, are to enter into the rest, according as he hath said - So I sware in mine anger, They shall not enter into my rest; And yet, the works, from the foundation of the world, had been brought into existence,

And in this again - They shall not enter into my rest.

Let us, then, be approaching with freedom of speech, unto the throne of favour, that we may receive mercy, and, favour, may find, for seasonable succour.

For, every high-priest who from among men is taken, on behalf of men, is appointed, as to the things pertaining unto God, that he may be offering bothgifts and sacrifices for sins, -

Thus, also the Christ, glorified not himself to become a high-priest, but he that spake unto him - My Son, art, thou, I, this day, have begotten thee;

In order that, not slothful, ye may become, but imitators of them who, through faith and patience, were becoming heirs of the promises.

Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by their hand, to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt, - because, they, abode not in my covenant, and, I, disregarded them, saith the Lord.

Because, this, is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord: - giving my laws into their understanding, upon their hearts also, will I inscribe them: and I will become their God, and, they, shall become my people;

And in nowise shall they teach - every one his fellow-citizen, and every one his brother, saying, - Get to know the Lord! Because, all, shall know me, from the least unto the greatest of them;

Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and offering, thou willedst not, but, a body, hast thou fitted for me, -

Then, said I - Lo! I am come, - in the heading of the scroll, it is written concerning me, - to do, O God, thy will.

Then, hath he said - Lo! I am come! to do, thy will: - he taketh away the first, that, the second, he may establish:

This is the covenant which I will covenant unto them after these days, saith the Lord, - Giving my laws upon their hearts, upon their understandings also, will I inscribe them,

For we know him that hath said - To me, belongeth avenging, I, will recompense; and again - The Lord will judge his people.

For, of endurance, ye have need, in order that, the will of God having done, Ye may bear away, the promise.

But, my righteous one, by faith, shall live, and, if he draw back, my soul delighteth not in him.

And what more can I say? For, time, will fail me while I go on telling - concerning Gideon, Barak, Sampson, Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets, -

And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation which, indeed, with you as with sons, doth reason: - My son! be not slighting the discipline of the Lord, neither be fainting, when by him, thou art reproved;

And, straight tracks, be making for your feet - that the lame member may not be dislocated, but, be healed rather.

But, the saying, Yet once for all, maketh clear the removal of the things which can be shaken, as of things done with, - that they may remain, which cannot be shaken.

Wherefore, seeing that, of a kingdom not to be shaken, we are receiving possession, let us have gratitude - whereby we may be rendering divine service well-pleasingly unto God, with reverence and awe;

So that, taking courage, we may be saying - The Lord, hasteth to my cry, - I will not be put in fear: what shall, man, do unto me?

Be yielding unto them who are guiding you, and submit yourselves; for they are watching over your souls, as having an account to render, that, with joy the same they may be doing, and not with sighing, - for, unprofitable unto you, were, this.

But, much more abundantly, do I exhort you the same to do, that, more speedily, I may be restored, unto you.
