Jesus Greater Than Moses
1Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. 2He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. 3Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 5“Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,”3:5 Num. 12:7 bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. 6But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.
Warning Against Unbelief
7So, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you hear his voice,
8do not harden your hearts
as you did in the rebellion,
during the time of testing in the wilderness,
9where your ancestors tested and tried me,
though for forty years they saw what I did.
10That is why I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
and they have not known my ways.’
11So I declared on oath in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”3:11 Psalm 95:7-11
12See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 14We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. 15As has just been said:
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts
as you did in the rebellion.”3:15 Psalm 95:7,8
16Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness? 18And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? 19So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
Yesu Mukulu okusinga Musa
13:1 a Beb 2:11 b Beb 4:14 c Beb 2:17Kale abooluganda abatukuvu, Katonda b’ayise, mulowoozenga ku Yesu, Omutume Omukulu era Kabona Asinga Obukulu, gwe twatula. 23:2 Kbl 12:7Yali mwesigwa eri oyo eyamulonda, era nga Musa bwe yali omwesigwa mu nnyumba ya Katonda yonna. 3Kubanga ng’omuzimbi bw’aweebwa ekitiibwa okusinga ennyumba gy’azimbye, bw’atyo Yesu wa kitiibwa okusinga Musa. 4Kubanga buli nnyumba wabaawo agizimba, naye Katonda ye y’azimba buli kintu. 53:5 a Kuv 14:31 b nny 2; Kbl 12:7Musa yali muweereza mwesigwa mu nnyumba ya Katonda yonna, eyayogera eby’obunnabbi ku bintu ebyali bigenda okwogerwa mu biro eby’omu maaso. 63:6 a Beb 1:2 b 1Ko 3:16 c Bar 11:22 d Bar 5:2Naye ate Kristo ye Mwana omwesigwa, akulira ennyumba ya Katonda; ate ffe tuli nnyumba y’oyo bwe tunywera ne tuba bavumu ne twenyumiririza mu ssuubi lye tunywezezza.
Ekiwummulo ky’Abaana ba Katonda
73:7 Beb 9:8Noolwekyo nga Mwoyo Mutukuvu bw’agamba nti,
“Leero bwe munaawulira eddoboozi lye,
8temukakanyaza mitima gyammwe,
nga bali bwe baajeema,
ku lunaku lwe bagezesaako Katonda mu ddungu.
93:9 Bik 7:36Bajjajjammwe bangezesa,
ne balaba bye nakola mu myaka amakumi ana.
10Kyennava nsunguwalira omulembe ogwo, ne njogera nti bulijjo baba bakyamu mu mitima gyabwe,
era tebamanyi makubo gange.
113:11 a Beb 4:3, 5 b Zab 95:7-11Kyennava ndayira nga nsunguwadde nti,
‘Tebaliyingira mu kiwummulo kyange.’ ”
12Mwekuume abooluganda, omutima omubi ogw’obutakkiriza gulemenga kuba mu muntu yenna ku mmwe, ne gubaggya ku Katonda omulamu. 133:13 a Beb 10:24, 25 b Bef 4:22Mubuuliraganenga mwekka na mwekka bulijjo ng’ekiseera kikyaliwo, waleme okubaawo n’omu ku mmwe akakanyazibwa obulimba bw’ekibi. 143:14 nny 6Olw’okubanga tussa kimu mu Kristo, tunywereze ddala obwesige bwaffe bwe twatandika nabwo, era tubunywereze ddala okutuusa ku nkomerero. 153:15 nny 7, 8; Zab 95:7, 8Kyogerwako nti,
“Leero bwe munaawulira eddoboozi lye
temukakanyaza mitima gyammwe
nga bwe mwakola bwe mwajeema.”
163:16 Kbl 14:2Be baani abaawulira, naye ne bajeema? Si abo bonna abaava mu Misiri ne Musa? 173:17 Kbl 14:29; Zab 106:26Era baani be yanyiigira okumala emyaka amakumi ana? Si abo abaayonoona ne bafiira mu ddungu? 183:18 a Kbl 14:20-23 b Beb 4:6Era baani abo Katonda be yalayirira obutayingira mu kiwummulo kye? Si abo abataagonda? 193:19 Yk 3:36Era tulaba nga baalemwa okuyingira olw’obutakkiriza bwabwe.
