Hebrews 3:12-19 CEV ...My friends, watch out! Don't let evil thoughts or doubts make any of you turn from the living God. (13) You must encourage one another each day. And you must keep on while there is still a time that can be called "today." If you don't, then sin may fool some of you and make you stubborn. (14) We were sure about Christ when we first became his people. So let's hold tightly to our faith until the end. (15) The Scriptures say, "If you hear his voice today, don't be stubborn like those who rebelled." (16) Who were those people that heard God's voice and rebelled? Weren't they the same ones that came out of Egypt with Moses? (17) Who were the people that made God angry for forty years? Weren't they the ones that sinned and died in the desert? (18) And who did God say would never enter his place of rest? Weren't they the ones that disobeyed him? (19) We see that those people did not enter the place of rest because they did not have faith.
Hebrews 3:12-19 ESV ...Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. (13) But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. (14) For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. (15) As it is said, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." (16) For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? (17) And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? (18) And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? (19) So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief [lack of faith].
Hebrews 3:12-19 GW ...Be careful, brothers and sisters, that none of you ever develop a wicked, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. (13) Encourage each other every day while you have the opportunity. If you do this, none of you will be deceived by sin and become stubborn. (14) After all, we will remain Christ's partners only if we continue to hold on to our original confidence until the end. (15) Scripture says, "If you hear God speak today, don't be stubborn. Don't be stubborn like those who rebelled." (16) Who heard God and rebelled? All those whom Moses led out of Egypt rebelled. (17) With whom was God angry for 40 years? He was angry with those who sinned and died in the desert. (18) Who did God swear would never enter his place of rest? He was talking about those who didn't obey him. (19) So we see that they couldn't enter his place of rest because they didn't believe.
Hebrews 3:12-19 GNB ...My friends, be careful that none of you have a heart so evil and unbelieving that you will turn away from the living God. (13) Instead, in order that none of you be deceived by sin and become stubborn, you must help one another every day, as long as the word "Today" in the scripture applies to us. (14) For we are all partners with Christ if we hold firmly to the end the confidence we had at the beginning. (15) This is what the scripture says: "If you hear God's voice today, do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were when they rebelled against God." (16) Who were the people who heard God's voice and rebelled against him? All those who were led out of Egypt by Moses. (17) With whom was God angry for forty years? With the people who sinned, who fell down dead in the desert. (18) When God made his solemn promise, "They will never enter the land where I would have given them rest"---of whom was he speaking? Of those who rebelled. (19) We see, then, that they were not able to enter the land, because they did not believe.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
