1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
1 因此, 我们必须更加密切注意所听过的道理, 免得我们随流失去。
2 那透过天使所传讲的信息既然是确定的, 所有干犯和不听从的, 都受了应得的报应。
3 如果我们忽略了这么大的救恩, 怎么能逃罪呢?这救恩起初是由主亲自宣讲的, 后来听见的人给我们证实了。
4 神又照着自己的旨意, 用神迹、奇事和各样异能, 以及圣灵的恩赐, 与他们一同作见证。
5 神并没有把我们所说的"将来的世界", 交给天使管辖;
6 但是有人在圣经上某一处证实说: "人算什么, 你竟记念他?世人算什么, 你竟眷顾他?
7 你使他比天使稍低微一点, 却赐给他荣耀尊贵作冠冕, (有些古卷在此有"并立他统管你手所造的一切"一句)
8 使万物都服在他的脚下。"既然万有都服了他, 就没有剩下一样不服他的了。但是现在我们还没有看见万有都服他。
9 不过, 我们看见那位暂时成了比天使卑微的耶稣, 因为受了死的痛苦, 就得了荣耀尊贵作冠冕, 好叫他因着 神的恩典, 为万人尝了死味。
10 万有因他而有、借他而造的那位, 为了要带领许多儿子进入荣耀里去, 使救他们的元首借着受苦而得到成全, 本是合适的。
11 因为那位使人成圣的, 和那些得到成圣的, 同是出于一个源头; 所以他称他们为弟兄也不以为耻。
12 他说: "我要向我的弟兄宣扬你的名, 我要在聚会中歌颂你。"
13 又说: "我要信靠他。"又说: "看哪, 我和 神所赐给我的孩子们。"
14 孩子们既然同有血肉之体, 他自己也照样成为血肉之体, 为要借着死, 消灭那掌握死权的魔鬼,
15 并且要释放那些因为怕死而终身作奴仆的人。
16 其实, 他并没有救援天使, 只救援亚伯拉罕的后裔。
17 所以, 他必须在各方面和他的弟兄们相同, 为了要在 神的事上, 成为仁慈忠信的大祭司, 好为人民赎罪。
18 因为他自己既然经过试探, 受了苦, 就能够帮助那些被试探的人。
