4:1 Let us, therefore, fear, lest perhaps forsaking the promise of entering into his rest, any of you be thought to be wanting.
Timeamus ergo ne forte relicta pollicitatione introëundi in requiem ejus, existimetur aliquis ex vobis deesse.

4:2 For to us also it hath been declared as well as to them, but the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with the faith of those things which they heard.
Etenim et nobis nuntiatum est, quemadmodum et illis: sed non profuit illis sermo auditus, non admistus fidei ex iis quæ audierunt.

4:3 For we who have believed, shall enter into rest; as he said: As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest: and this when the works from the foundation of the world were finished.
Ingrediemur enim in requiem, qui credidimus: quemadmodum dixit: Sicut juravi in ira mea: Si introibunt in requiem meam: et quidem operibus ab institutione mundi perfectis.

4:4 For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works.
Dixit enim in quodam loco de die septima sic: Et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis.

4:5 And in this place again: If they shall enter into my rest.
Et in isto rursum: Si introibunt in requiem meam.

4:6 Seeing then it remaineth that some are to enter into it, and they, to whom it was first preached, did not enter in because of unbelief:
Quoniam ergo superest introire quosdam in illam, et ii, quibus prioribus annuntiatum est, non introierunt propter incredulitatem:

4:7 Again he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To-day, after so long a time, as it is above said: To-day, if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
iterum terminat diem quemdam, Hodie, in David dicendo, post tantum temporis, sicut supra dictum est: Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra.

4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, he would never have afterwards spoken of another day.
Nam si eis Jesus requiem præstitisset, numquam de alia loqueretur, posthac, die.

4:9 There remaineth, therefore, a rest for the people of God.
Itaque relinquitur sabbatismus populo Dei.

4:10 For he who is entered into his rest: he also hath rested from his works, as God from his.
Qui enim ingressus est in requiem ejus, etiam ipse requievit ab operibus suis, sicut a suis Deus.

4:11 Let us hasten, therefore, to enter into that rest: lest any man fall into the same example of unbelief.
Festinemus ergo ingredi in illam requiem: ut ne in idipsum quis incidat incredulitatis exemplum.

4:12 For the word of God is living and effectual, and more penetrating than any two-edged sword: and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also, and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Vivus est enim sermo Dei, et efficax et penetrabilior omni gladio ancipiti: et pertingens usque ad divisionem animæ ac spiritus: compagum quoque ac medullarum, et discretor cogitationum et intentionum cordis.

4:13 Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight: but all things are naked and open to the eyes of him, to whom our speech is.
Et non est ulla creatura invisibilis in conspectu ejus: omnia autem nuda et aperta sunt oculis ejus, ad quem nobis sermo.

4:14 Having, therefore, a great high priest who hath penetrated into the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
Habentes ergo pontificem magnum qui penetravit cælos, Jesum Filium Dei, teneamus confessionem.

4:15 For we have not a high priest, who cannot have compassion on our infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin.
Non enim habemus pontificem qui non possit compati infirmitatibus nostris: tentatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato.

4:16 Let us go, therefore, with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid.
Adeamus ergo cum fiducia ad thronum gratiæ: ut misericordiam consequamur, et gratiam inveniamus in auxilio opportuno.
