14:1 Beb 12:15Noolwekyo ng’ekisuubizo eky’okuyingira mu kiwummulo kye, bwe kikyaliwo, twerinde, omuntu yenna ku mmwe aleme kulabika nga takituuseemu. 24:2 1Bs 2:13Kubanga naffe tubuuliddwa Enjiri, nga nabo bwe baagibuulirwa. Kyokka baalema okukkiriza ekigambo kye baawulira, era tebaalina kye baagasibwa. 34:3 Zab 95:11; Beb 3:11Kubanga ffe abakkiriza, ffe tuyinza okuyingira mu kiwummulo kye, nga bwe yayogera nti,
“Kyennava ndayira nga nsunguwadde nti,
‘Tebaliyingira mu kiwummulo kyange.’ ”

64:6 Beb 3:18Kyaterekerwa abamu okuyingiramu, ate ng’abo abaasooka okubuulirwa Enjiri, tebaayingira olw’obujeemu. 74:7 Zab 95:7, 8; Beb 3:7, 8, 15Katonda kyeyava ateekateeka nate olunaku, n’alutuuma leero, bwe yayogerera mu Dawudi, oluvannyuma lw’ekiseera ekiwanvu nti,
“Leero bwe munaawulira eddoboozi lye,
Temukakanyaza mitima gyammwe.
84:8 a Yos 22:4 b Beb 1:1Kubanga singa Yoswa yabatwala mu kifo eky’okuwummula, Katonda teyandiyogedde ku lunaku olulala olw’okuwummula.” 9Naye Katonda atusuubizza olunaku olwa Ssabbiiti lwe tuliwummula, newaakubadde nga terunnatuuka. 104:10 nny 4Kubanga oyo ayingira mu kiwummulo kya Katonda, awummula emirimu gye nga Katonda bwe yawummula ng’amaze emirimu gye. 114:11 Beb 3:18Noolwekyo tufubenga okuyingira mu kiwummulo ekyo, omuntu yenna alemenga kugoberera ekyokulabirako ekibi eky’abajeemu.
124:12 a 1Pe 1:23 b Yer 23:29 c Bef 6:17; Kub 1:16 d 1Ko 14:24, 25Ekigambo kya Katonda kiramu era kikola. Kisala okusinga ekitala eky’obwogi obubiri, era kiyitamu ne kituukira ddala ku mmeeme n’omwoyo, n’ennyingo n’obusomyo, era kyawula ebirowoozo n’okufumiitiriza kw’omutima. 134:13 Zab 33:13-15Katonda amanyi ebintu byonna, so tewali kitonde na kimu ekikwekeddwa amaaso ge. Alaba buli kintu, era tulyogera mazima nga tumutegeeza buli kimu.

God’s People Enter His Sabbath Rest
1God’s promise of enjoying his rest still stands. So be careful that none of you fails to receive it. 2The good news was announced to our people of long ago. It has also been preached to us. The message they heard didn’t have any value for them. That’s because they didn’t share the faith of those who obeyed. 3Now we who have believed enjoy that rest. God said,
“When I was angry, I made a promise.
I said, ‘They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them.’ ” (Psalm 95:11)
Ever since God created the world, his works have been finished. 4Somewhere he spoke about the seventh day. He said, “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.” (Genesis 2:2) 5In the part of Scripture I talked about earlier God spoke. He said, “They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them.” (Psalm 95:11)
6It is still true that some people will enjoy this rest. But those who had the good news announced to them earlier didn’t go in. That’s because they didn’t obey. 7So God again chose a certain day. He named it Today. He did this when he spoke through David a long time later. Here is what was written in the Scripture already given.
“Listen to his voice today.
If you hear it, don’t be stubborn.” (Psalm 95:7,8)
8Suppose Joshua had given them rest. If he had, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9So there is still a Sabbath rest for God’s people. 10God rested from his work. Those who enjoy God’s rest also rest from their works. 11So let us make every effort to enjoy that rest. Then no one will die by disobeying as they did.
12The word of God is alive and active. It is sharper than any sword that has two edges. It cuts deep enough to separate soul from spirit. It can separate bones from joints. It judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart. 13Nothing God created is hidden from him. His eyes see everything. He will hold us responsible for everything we do.
Jesus Is the Great High Priest
14We have a great high priest. He has gone up into heaven. He is Jesus the Son of God. So let us hold firmly to what we say we believe. 15We have a high priest who can feel it when we are weak and hurting. We have a high priest who has been tempted in every way, just as we are. But he did not sin. 16So let us boldly approach God’s throne of grace. Then we will receive mercy. We will find grace to help us when we need it.
