| [1]THEREFORE, seeing we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us; |
[1]τοιγαρουν και ημεις τοσουτον εχοντες περικειμενον ημιν νεφος μαρτυρων ογκον αποθεμενοι παντα και την ευπεριστατον αμαρτιαν δι υπομονης τρεχωμεν τον προκειμενον ημιν αγωνα |
| [2]And let us look to Jesus, who was the author and the perfecter of our faith; and who, instead of the joy which he could have had, endured the cross, suffered shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. |
[2]αφορωντες εις τον της πιστεως αρχηγον και τελειωτην ιησουν ος αντι της προκειμενης αυτω χαρας υπεμεινεν σταυρον αισχυνης καταφρονησας εν δεξια τε του θρονου του θεου κεκαθικεν |
| [3]See, therefore, how much he has suffered from the hands of sinners, from those who were a contradiction to themselves, lest you become weary and faint in your soul. |
[3]αναλογισασθε γαρ τον τοιαυτην υπομεμενηκοτα υπο των αμαρτωλων εις εαυτους εαυτον αντιλογιαν ινα μη καμητε ταις ψυχαις υμων εκλυομενοι |
| [4]You have not yet come face to face with blood in your striving against sin. |
[4]ουπω μεχρις αιματος αντικατεστητε προς την αμαρτιαν ανταγωνιζομενοι |
| [5]And you have forgotten the teaching which has been told to you as to children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the LORD, nor let your soul faint when thou art rebuked of him, |
[5]και εκλελησθε της παρακλησεως ητις υμιν ως υιοις διαλεγεται υιε μου μη ολιγωρει παιδειας κυριου μηδε εκλυου υπ αυτου ελεγχομενος |
| [6]For whom the LORD loves, he chastens him, and disciplines the sons with whom he is pleased. |
[6]ον γαρ αγαπα κυριος παιδευει μαστιγοι δε παντα υιον ον παραδεχεται |
| [7]Now, therefore, endure discipline, because God acts toward you as towards sons; for where is the son whom the father does not discipline? |
[7]εις παιδειαν υπομενετε ως υιοις υμιν προσφερεται ο θεος τις γαρ υιος ον ου παιδευει πατηρ |
| [8]But if you are without discipline, that very discipline by which every man is trained, then you are strangers and not sons. |
[8]ει δε χωρις εστε παιδειας ης μετοχοι γεγονασιν παντες αρα νοθοι και ουχ υιοι εστε |
| [9]Furthermore if our fathers of the flesh corrected us and we respected them, how much more then should we willingly be under subjection to our Spiritual Father, and live? |
[9]ειτα τους μεν της σαρκος ημων πατερας ειχομεν παιδευτας και ενετρεπομεθα ου πολυ [δε] μαλλον υποταγησομεθα τω πατρι των πνευματων και ζησομεν |
| [10]For they only for a short while, disciplined us as seemed good to them; but God corrects us for our advantage, that we might become partakers of his holiness. |
[10]οι μεν γαρ προς ολιγας ημερας κατα το δοκουν αυτοις επαιδευον ο δε επι το συμφερον εις το μεταλαβειν της αγιοτητος αυτου |
| [11]No discipline, at the time, is expected to be a thing of joy, but of sorrow; but in the end it produces the fruits of peace and righteousness to those who are trained by it. |
[11]πασα μεν δε παιδεια προς μεν το παρον ου δοκει χαρας ειναι αλλα λυπης υστερον δε καρπον ειρηνικον τοις δι αυτης γεγυμνασμενοις αποδιδωσιν δικαιοσυνης |
| [12]Therefore, be courageous and strong; |
[12]διο τας παρειμενας χειρας και τα παραλελυμενα γονατα ανορθωσατε |
| [13]And make straight the paths for your feet, so that the weak do not go astray but are healed. |
[13]και τροχιας ορθας ποιειτε τοις ποσιν υμων ινα μη το χωλον εκτραπη ιαθη δε μαλλον |
| [14]Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see our LORD. |
[14]ειρηνην διωκετε μετα παντων και τον αγιασμον ου χωρις ουδεις οψεται τον κυριον |
| [15]Take heed lest any man among you be found short of the grace of God; or lest any root of bitterness spring forth and harm you, and thereby many be defiled; |
[15]επισκοπουντες μη τις υστερων απο της χαριτος του θεου μη τις ριζα πικριας ανω φυουσα ενοχλη και δι αυτης μιανθωσιν οι πολλοι |
| [16]Or lest any man among you be found immoral and weak like Esau, who sold his birthright for a morsel of meat. |
[16]μη τις πορνος η βεβηλος ως ησαυ ος αντι βρωσεως μιας απεδετο τα πρωτοτοκια εαυτου |
| [17]For you know that afterward when he wished to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, and he had no chance of recovery, even though he sought it with tears. |
[17]ιστε γαρ οτι και μετεπειτα θελων κληρονομησαι την ευλογιαν απεδοκιμασθη μετανοιας γαρ τοπον ουχ ευρεν καιπερ μετα δακρυων εκζητησας αυτην |
| [18]For you have yet neither come near the roaring fire, nor the darkness nor the storm nor the tempest, |
[18]ου γαρ προσεληλυθατε ψηλαφωμενω και κεκαυμενω πυρι και γνοφω και ζοφω και θυελλη |
| [19]Nor to the sound of the trumpet and the voice of the word; which voice they heard but refused so that the word will not be spoken to them any more. |
[19]και σαλπιγγος ηχω και φωνη ρηματων ης οι ακουσαντες παρητησαντο μη προστεθηναι αυτοις λογον |
| [20]For they could not survive that which was commanded, for if even a beast drew near the mountain, it would be stoned. |
[20]ουκ εφερον γαρ το διαστελλομενον καν θηριον θιγη του ορους λιθοβοληθησεται |
| [21]And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I fear and quake. |
[21]και ουτως φοβερον ην το φανταζομενον μωυσης ειπεν εκφοβος ειμι και εντρομος |
| [22]But you have come near to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the innumerable multitude of angels, |
[22]αλλα προσεληλυθατε σιων ορει και πολει θεου ζωντος ιερουσαλημ επουρανιω και μυριασιν αγγελων |
| [23]And to the congregation of the first converts who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of pious men made perfect |
[23]πανηγυρει και εκκλησια πρωτοτοκων απογεγραμμενων εν ουρανοις και κριτη θεω παντων και πνευμασιν δικαιων τετελειωμενων |
| [24]And to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, and to the sprinkling of his blood, which speaks a better message than Abel did. |
[24]και διαθηκης νεας μεσιτη ιησου και αιματι ραντισμου κρειττον λαλουντι παρα τον αβελ |
| [25]Beware, therefore, lest you refuse him who speaks to you. For if they were not delivered who refused him who spoke with them on earth, much more can we not escape if we refuse him who speaks to us from heaven: |
[25]βλεπετε μη παραιτησησθε τον λαλουντα ει γαρ εκεινοι ουκ εξεφυγον επι γης παραιτησαμενοι τον χρηματιζοντα πολυ μαλλον ημεις οι τον απ ουρανων αποστρεφομενοι |
| [26]The one whose voice shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, Once more I will shake not only the earth, but also heaven. |
[26]ου η φωνη την γην εσαλευσεν τοτε νυν δε επηγγελται λεγων ετι απαξ εγω σεισω ου μονον την γην αλλα και τον ουρανον |
| [27]And this word, Once more, signifies the change of things which may be shaken, because they are made, in order that the things which can not be shaken may remain. |
[27]το δε ετι απαξ δηλοι [την] των σαλευομενων μεταθεσιν ως πεποιημενων ινα μεινη τα μη σαλευομενα |
| [28]Therefore, we receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us hold fast that grace whereby we may serve and please God with reverence and godly fear: |
[28]διο βασιλειαν ασαλευτον παραλαμβανοντες εχωμεν χαριν δι ης λατρευωμεν ευαρεστως τω θεω μετα ευλαβειας και δεους |
| [29]For our God is a consuming fire. |
[29]και γαρ ο θεος ημων πυρ καταναλισκον |
