Focus Your Eye for Jesus
Moses dey faithful for our Papa house; Jesus na di one wey build am. From there di writer quote di wilderness generation wey hear di voice but still harden dia heart, and e apply am straight: make una dey encourage each other every day, while dem still dey call am today, so that sin deceit no go harden anybody.
3 1So, holy brothers and sisters wey share for di heavenly call, make una consider Jesus, di apostle and high priest wey we dey confess. 2E dey faithful to di One wey appoint am, just as Moses too dey faithful for all our Papa house. 3Jesus deserve glory wey pass Mosize own well-well, just as di person wey build house deserve honor wey pass di house itself. 4Because every house na person build am, but na our Papa build all things. 5Moses dey faithful for all our Papa house, as servant wey dey testify to di things wey our Papa go talk later. 6But Christ, as Pikin, dey faithful over im house. And na we be im house—if we hold di confidence and hope wey we dey boast about tight.
7So, as di Holy Spirit talk: “Today, if una hear im voice, a a v7 Di book of Hebrews dey treat Scripture as di Holy Spirit im living voice — di same Spirit wey talk through di prophets dey talk to us today, dey call us enter our Papa rest. 8make una no harden una heart as una do for di rebellion, for di day of testing for di wilderness, 9where una ancestors put me for test and see my works for forty years. 10Na why I vex with dat generation, and I talk, ‘Their heart dey always waka comot, and dem never sabi my ways.’ 11So I swear for my anger, ‘Dem no go ever enter my rest.’”
12Brothers and sisters, make una watch so dat none of una go get bad, unbelieving heart wey dey comot from di living Papa. 13But make una dey encourage each other every day, while dem still dey call am “today,” so dat none of una go harden by di deceit of sin. 14Because we don become sharers for Christ, if we truly hold our first confidence tight reach di end. 15As dem talk am: “Today, if una hear im voice, make una no harden una heart as una do wen una rebel.”
16Na who hear and rebel? No be all di people wey comot from Egypt through Moses? 17Na who E vex with for forty years? No be dose wey sin, wey their body fall for di wilderness? 18Na who E swear say dem no go ever enter im rest, if no be dose wey no obey? 19So we see say dem no fit enter because dem no get faith.
