1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house. 3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God. 5 Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken, 6 but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end. 7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says,
"Today if you will hear his voice,
8 don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers tested me and tried me,
and saw my deeds for forty years.
10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation,
and said, ‘They always err in their heart,
but they didn’t know my ways.’
11 As I swore in my wrath,
‘They will not enter into my rest.’"
12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; 13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today", lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end, 15 while it is said,
"Today if you will hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."
16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? 17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.
1 因此, 同蒙天召的圣洁的弟兄啊! 你们应该想想耶稣, 就是作使徒、作我们所宣认的大祭司的那一位。
2 他忠于那位委派他的, 好像摩西在 神的全家尽忠一样。
3 他比摩西配得更大的荣耀, 好像建造房屋的人比房屋配得更大的尊贵一样。
4 因为每一间房屋都是人建造的, 只有万物是 神建造的。
5 摩西不过是个仆人, 在 神的全家尽忠, 为以后要传讲的事作证;
6 但是基督却是儿子, 管理自己的家。如果我们把坦然无惧的心和可夸的盼望持守到底, 我们就是他的家了。
7 所以, 就像圣灵所说的: "如果你们今天听从他的声音,
8 就不要硬着心, 好像在旷野惹他发怒、试探他的日子一样;
9 在那里, 你们的祖先以试验来试探我, 观看我的作为有四十年之久。
10 所以, 我向那个世代的人发怒, 说: ‘他们心里常常迷误, 不认识我的道路。’
11 我就在烈怒中起誓, 说: ‘他们绝不可进入我的安息。’"
12 弟兄们, 你们要小心, 免得你们中间有人存着邪恶、不信的心, 以致离弃了永活的 神;
13 趁着还有叫作"今天"的时候, 总要天天互相劝勉, 免得你们中间有人受了罪恶的诱惑, 心里就刚硬了。
14 如果我们把起初的信念坚持到底, 就是有分于基督的人了。
15 经上说: "如果你们今天听从他的声音, 就不要硬着心, 像惹他发怒的时候一样。"
16 那时, 听了他的话而惹他发怒的是谁呢?不就是摩西从埃及领出来的那些人吗?
17 四十年之久, 神向谁发怒呢?不就是向那些犯了罪陈尸旷野的人吗?
18 他又向谁起誓说, 他们绝对不可以进入他的安息呢?不就是向那些不顺从的人吗?
19 这样看来, 他们不能进入安息, 是因为不信的缘故。
