1Daarom dan, omdat ook ons so 'n groot wolk van getuies rondom ons het, laat ons elke las aflê, en die sonde wat ons so maklik omring, en met volharding die wedloop hardloop wat voor ons gelê is,

Of: wat ons so maklik verstrik.

Τοιγαροῦν καὶ ἡμεῖς, τοσοῦτον ἔχοντες περικείμενον ἡμῖν νέφος μαρτύρων, ὄγκον ἀποθέμενοι πάντα καὶ τὴν εὐπερίστατον ἁμαρτίαν, διʼ ὑπομονῆς τρέχωμεν τὸν προκείμενον ἡμῖν ἀγῶνα,Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us. 2terwyl ons die oog gevestig hou op Jesus, die leidsman en volmaker van die geloof, wat ter wille van die vreugde wat voor Hom gelê is, die kruis verduur het, die skande geminag het, en aan die regterhand van die troon van God gaan sit het.

Of: in plaas van die vreugde wat voor Hom gelê is.

ἀφορῶντες εἰς τὸν τῆς πίστεως ἀρχηγὸν καὶ τελειωτὴν Ἰησοῦν, ὃς ἀντὶ τῆς προκειμένης αὐτῷ χαρᾶς ὑπέμεινεν σταυρὸν αἰσχύνης καταφρονήσας, ἐν δεξιᾷ τε τοῦ θρόνου τοῦ θεοῦ κεκάθικεν.Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Want oorweeg Hom wat so 'n teenspraak van sondaars teen hulleself verduur het, sodat julle nie moedeloos word en in julle siele verslap nie.

Sommige manuskripte lees: teen Homself.

Ἀναλογίσασθε γὰρ τὸν τοιαύτην ὑπομεμενηκότα ὑπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν εἰς ⸀ἑαυτοὺς ἀντιλογίαν, ἵνα μὴ κάμητε ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν ἐκλυόμενοι.Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

4Julle het nog nie tot bloed toe weerstand gebied terwyl julle teen die sonde stry nie,οὔπω μέχρις αἵματος ἀντικατέστητε πρὸς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἀνταγωνιζόμενοι,In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5en julle het die vermaning vergeet wat tot julle as seuns spreek: “My seun, moenie die tug van die Here gering ag nie, en moenie verslap wanneer jy deur Hom bestraf word nie;

Aanhaling uit Spreuke 3:11-12.

καὶ ἐκλέλησθε τῆς παρακλήσεως, ἥτις ὑμῖν ὡς υἱοῖς διαλέγεται, Υἱέ μου, μὴ ὀλιγώρει παιδείας κυρίου, μηδὲ ἐκλύου ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ ἐλεγχόμενος·And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. 6want wie die Here liefhet, tugtig Hy, en Hy gésel elke seun wat Hy aanneem.”ὃν γὰρ ἀγαπᾷ κύριος παιδεύει, μαστιγοῖ δὲ πάντα υἱὸν ὃν παραδέχεται.For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” 7Verduur dit tot tugtiging; God tree teenoor julle op soos teenoor seuns. Want watter seun is daar wat sy vader nie tugtig nie?

Of: Dit is tot tugtiging dat julle verduur.

εἰς παιδείαν ὑπομένετε· ὡς υἱοῖς ὑμῖν προσφέρεται ὁ θεός· τίς ⸀γὰρ υἱὸς ὃν οὐ παιδεύει πατήρ;Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? 8Maar as julle sonder tugtiging is, waaraan almal deel gekry het, dan is julle onegte kinders en nie seuns nie.εἰ δὲ χωρίς ἐστε παιδείας ἧς μέτοχοι γεγόνασι πάντες, ἄρα νόθοι ⸂καὶ οὐχ υἱοί ἐστε⸃.If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. 9Verder, ons het die vaders van ons vlees as tugmeesters gehad en ons het ontsag vir hulle gehad; sal ons nie veel meer aan die Vader van die geeste onderdanig wees en lewe nie?εἶτα τοὺς μὲν τῆς σαρκὸς ἡμῶν πατέρας εἴχομεν παιδευτὰς καὶ ἐνετρεπόμεθα· οὐ ⸀πολὺ μᾶλλον ὑποταγησόμεθα τῷ πατρὶ τῶν πνευμάτων καὶ ζήσομεν;Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live? 10Want hulle het ons vir 'n paar dae getugtig soos dit vir hulle goed gelyk het, maar Hy tot ons voordeel, sodat ons aan Sy heiligheid deel kan kry.οἱ μὲν γὰρ πρὸς ὀλίγας ἡμέρας κατὰ τὸ δοκοῦν αὐτοῖς ἐπαίδευον, ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ τὸ συμφέρον εἰς τὸ μεταλαβεῖν τῆς ἁγιότητος αὐτοῦ.Our fathers disciplined us for a short time as they thought best, but God disciplines us for our good, so that we may share in His holiness. 11Maar alle tugtiging blyk op die oomblik nie vreugde te wees nie, maar droefheid; later egter gee dit 'n vredevolle vrug van geregtigheid aan dié wat daardeur geoefen is.πᾶσα ⸀δὲ παιδεία πρὸς μὲν τὸ παρὸν οὐ δοκεῖ χαρᾶς εἶναι ἀλλὰ λύπης, ὕστερον δὲ καρπὸν εἰρηνικὸν τοῖς διʼ αὐτῆς γεγυμνασμένοις ἀποδίδωσιν δικαιοσύνης.No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.

12Rig daarom die slap hande en die lam knieë weer op,

Aanhaling uit Jesaja 35:3.

Διὸ τὰς παρειμένας χεῖρας καὶ τὰ παραλελυμένα γόνατα ἀνορθώσατε,Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees. 13en maak reguit paaie vir julle voete, sodat wat kreupel is, nie uit lit raak nie, maar eerder gesond word.

Aanhaling uit Spreuke 4:26.

Of: nie afdwaal nie.

καὶ τροχιὰς ὀρθὰς ⸀ποιεῖτε τοῖς ποσὶν ὑμῶν, ἵνα μὴ τὸ χωλὸν ἐκτραπῇ, ἰαθῇ δὲ μᾶλλον.Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

14Jaag die vrede na met almal, en die heiligmaking, waarsonder niemand die Here sal sien nie,Εἰρήνην διώκετε μετὰ πάντων, καὶ τὸν ἁγιασμόν, οὗ χωρὶς οὐδεὶς ὄψεται τὸν κύριον,Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. 15en hou toesig dat niemand van die genade van God agterbly nie, dat geen wortel van bitterheid opskiet en moeilikheid veroorsaak en baie daardeur besoedel word nie,ἐπισκοποῦντες μή τις ὑστερῶν ἀπὸ τῆς χάριτος τοῦ θεοῦ, μή τις ῥίζα πικρίας ἄνω φύουσα ἐνοχλῇ καὶ ⸂διʼ αὐτῆς⸃ μιανθῶσιν ⸀πολλοί,See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many. 16dat niemand 'n hoereerder of 'n onheilige is soos Esau nie, wat vir een ete sy eersgeboortereg verkoop het.μή τις πόρνος ἢ βέβηλος ὡς Ἠσαῦ, ὃς ἀντὶ βρώσεως μιᾶς ἀπέδετο τὰ πρωτοτόκια ⸀ἑαυτοῦ.See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his birthright. 17Want julle weet dat hy ook daarna, toe hy die seën wou erf, verwerp is, want hy het geen plek vir bekering gevind nie, al het hy dit met trane gesoek.ἴστε γὰρ ὅτι καὶ μετέπειτα θέλων κληρονομῆσαι τὴν εὐλογίαν ἀπεδοκιμάσθη, μετανοίας γὰρ τόπον οὐχ εὗρεν, καίπερ μετὰ δακρύων ἐκζητήσας αὐτήν.For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears.

18Want julle het nie genader tot wat aangeraak kan word en met vuur brand nie, en tot donkerte en duisternis en stormwind,

Sommige manuskripte lees: tot 'n berg wat aangeraak kan word en met vuur brand.

Οὐ γὰρ προσεληλύθατε ⸀ψηλαφωμένῳ καὶ κεκαυμένῳ πυρὶ καὶ γνόφῳ καὶ ⸀ζόφῳ καὶ θυέλλῃFor you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom, and storm; 19en by die geluid van 'n trompet en 'n stem van woorde, waarvan dié wat dit gehoor het, gesmeek het dat geen woord verder tot hulle gerig moet word nie;καὶ σάλπιγγος ἤχῳ καὶ φωνῇ ῥημάτων, ἧς οἱ ἀκούσαντες παρῃτήσαντο ⸀μὴ προστεθῆναι αὐτοῖς λόγον·to a trumpet blast or to a voice that made its hearers beg that no further word be spoken. 20want hulle kon nie verdra wat beveel is nie: “Selfs as 'n dier aan die berg raak, moet dit gestenig word.”

Aanhaling uit Eksodus 19:12-13.

οὐκ ἔφερον γὰρ τὸ διαστελλόμενον· Κἂν θηρίον θίγῃ τοῦ ὄρους, λιθοβοληθήσεται·For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.” 21En so vreesaanjaend was die verskynsel dat Moses gesê het: “Ek is verskrik en bewend.”

Aanhaling uit Deuteronomium 9:19.

καί, οὕτω φοβερὸν ἦν τὸ φανταζόμενον, Μωϋσῆς εἶπεν· Ἔκφοβός εἰμι καὶ ἔντρομος.The sight was so terrifying that even Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.” 22Maar julle het gekom by die berg Sion en by die stad van die lewende God, die hemelse Jerusalem, en by tienduisende engele, 'n feestelike samekoms,ἀλλὰ προσεληλύθατε Σιὼν ὄρει καὶ πόλει θεοῦ ζῶντος, Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐπουρανίῳ, καὶ μυριάσιν ἀγγέλων, πανηγύρειInstead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels 23en by die gemeente van die eersgeborenes wat in die hemele opgeskryf is, en by God, die regter van almal, en by die geeste van die regverdiges wat volmaak gemaak is,

Of: by die regter wat God van almal is.

καὶ ἐκκλησίᾳ πρωτοτόκων ⸂ἀπογεγραμμένων ἐν οὐρανοῖς⸃, καὶ κριτῇ θεῷ πάντων, καὶ πνεύμασι δικαίων τετελειωμένων,in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24en by Jesus, die middelaar van 'n nuwe verbond, en by die bloed van besprinkeling wat beter spreek as Abel.

Of: as dié van Abel.

καὶ διαθήκης νέας μεσίτῃ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ αἵματι ῥαντισμοῦ κρεῖττον λαλοῦντι παρὰ τὸν Ἅβελ.to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

25Pas op dat julle Hom wat spreek nie afwys nie. Want as hulle nie ontkom het nie toe hulle op aarde Hom afgewys het wat hulle gewaarsku het, veel meer ons wat ons afkeer van Hom wat uit die hemele is.

Sommige manuskripte lees: toe hulle Hom afgewys het wat op aarde gewaarsku het.

Βλέπετε μὴ παραιτήσησθε τὸν λαλοῦντα· εἰ γὰρ ἐκεῖνοι οὐκ ⸀ἐξέφυγον ⸂ἐπὶ γῆς παραιτησάμενοι τὸν⸃ χρηματίζοντα, ⸀πολὺ μᾶλλον ἡμεῖς οἱ τὸν ἀπʼ οὐρανῶν ἀποστρεφόμενοι·See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven? 26Sy stem het toe die aarde geskud, maar nou het Hy belowe en gesê: “Nog een keer sal Ek nie alleen die aarde skud nie, maar ook die hemel.”

Aanhaling uit Haggai 2:6.

οὗ ἡ φωνὴ τὴν γῆν ἐσάλευσεν τότε, νῦν δὲ ἐπήγγελται λέγων· Ἔτι ἅπαξ ἐγὼ ⸀σείσω οὐ μόνον τὴν γῆν ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸν οὐρανόν.At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.” 27Die “Nog een keer” dui op die verwydering van die dinge wat geskud word, as dinge wat gemaak is, sodat die dinge wat nie geskud word nie, kan bly.τὸ δὲ Ἔτι ἅπαξ δηλοῖ ⸂τῶν σαλευομένων⸃ μετάθεσιν ὡς πεποιημένων, ἵνα μείνῃ τὰ μὴ σαλευόμενα.The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that the unshakable may remain. 28Daarom, omdat ons 'n koninkryk ontvang wat nie geskud kan word nie, laat ons genade hê, waardeur ons God op 'n aanneemlike wyse kan dien met eerbied en vrees,

Letterlik: laat ons genade hê; dit kan ook beteken: laat ons dankbaar wees.

διὸ βασιλείαν ἀσάλευτον παραλαμβάνοντες ἔχωμεν χάριν, διʼ ἧς ⸀λατρεύωμεν εὐαρέστως τῷ θεῷ μετὰ ⸂εὐλαβείας καὶ δέους⸃,Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. 29want ons God is ook 'n verterende vuur.

Aanhaling uit Deuteronomium 4:24.

καὶ γὰρ ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν πῦρ καταναλίσκον.“For our God is a consuming fire.”
