3:1  unde fratres sancti vocationis          1.  Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers
caelestis participes considerate             of the heavenly calling, consider the
apostolum et pontificem confessionis         Apostle and High Priest of our
nostrae Iesum                                profession, Christ Jesus;

3:2  qui fidelis est ei qui fecit illum      2.  Who was faithful to him that
sicut et Moses in omni domo illius           appointed him, as also Moses was
                                             faithful in all his house.

3:3  amplioris enim gloriae iste prae        3.  For this man was counted worthy of
Mose dignus habitus est quanto               more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he
ampliorem honorem habet domus qui            who hath builded the house hath more
fabricavit illam                             honour than the house.

3:4  omnis namque domus fabricatur ab        4.  For every house is builded by some
aliquo qui autem omnia creavit Deus          man; but he that built all things is
                                             God.

3:5  et Moses quidem fidelis erat in         5.  And Moses verily was faithful in
tota domo eius tamquam famulus in            all his house, as a servant, for a
testimonium eorum quae dicenda erant         testimony of those things which were to
                                             be spoken after;

3:6  Christus vero tamquam filius in         6.  But Christ as a son over his own
domo sua quae domus sumus nos si             house; whose house are we, if we hold
fiduciam et gloriam spei usque ad finem      fast the confidence and the rejoicing
firmam retineamus                            of the hope firm unto the end.

3:7  quapropter sicut dicit Spiritus         7.  Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith,
Sanctus hodie si vocem eius audieritis       To day if ye will hear his voice,

3:8  nolite obdurare corda vestra sicut      8.  Harden not your hearts, as in the
in exacerbatione secundum diem               provocation, in the day of temptation
temptationis in deserto                      in the wilderness:

3:9  ubi temptaverunt me patres vestri       9.  When your fathers tempted me,
probaverunt et viderunt opera mea            proved me, and saw my works forty years.

3:10  quadraginta annos propter quod         10.  Wherefore I was grieved with that
infensus fui generationi huic et dixi        generation, and said, They do alway err
semper errant corde ipsi autem non           in their heart; and they have not known
cognoverunt vias meas                        my ways.

3:11  sicut iuravi in ira mea si             11.  So I sware in my wrath, They shall
introibunt in requiem meam                   not enter into my rest.)

3:12  videte fratres ne forte sit in         12.  Take heed, brethren, lest there be
aliquo vestrum cor malum incredulitatis      in any of you an evil heart of
discedendi a Deo vivo                        unbelief, in departing from the living
                                             God.

3:13  sed adhortamini vosmet ipsos per       13.  But exhort one another daily,
singulos dies donec hodie cognominatur       while it is called To day; lest any of
ut non obduretur quis ex vobis fallacia      you be hardened through the
peccati                                      deceitfulness of sin.

3:14  participes enim Christi effecti        14.  For we are made partakers of
sumus si tamen initium substantiae           Christ, if we hold the beginning of our
usque ad finem firmum retineamus             confidence stedfast unto the end;

3:15  dum dicitur hodie si vocem eius        15.  While it is said, To day if ye
audieritis nolite obdurare corda vestra      will hear his voice, harden not your
quemadmodum in illa exacerbatione            hearts, as in the provocation.

3:16  quidam enim audientes                  16.  For some, when they had heard, did
exacerbaverunt sed non universi qui          provoke: howbeit not all that came out
profecti sunt ab Aegypto per Mosen           of Egypt by Moses.

3:17  quibus autem infensus est              17.  But with whom was he grieved forty
quadraginta annos nonne illis qui            years? was it not with them that had
peccaverunt quorum cadavera prostrata        sinned, whose carcases fell in the
sunt in deserto                              wilderness?

3:18  quibus autem iuravit non introire      18.  And to whom sware he that they
in requiem ipsius nisi illis qui             should not enter into his rest, but to
increduli fuerunt                            them that believed not?

3:19  et videmus quia non potuerunt          19.  So we see that they could not
introire propter incredulitatem              enter in because of unbelief.
