Hebrews

所以，我們當越發鄭重所聽見的道理，恐怕我們隨流失去。

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. {let...: Gr. run out as leaking vessels}

那藉著天使所傳的話既是確定的；凡犯悖逆的都受了該受的報應。

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

我們若忽略這麼大的救恩，怎能逃罪呢？這救恩起先是主親自講的，後來是聽見的人給我們證實了。

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};

神又按自己的旨意，用神蹟、奇事和百般的異能，並聖靈的恩賜，同他們作見證。

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? {gifts: or, distributions}

我們所說將來的世界，神原沒有交給天使管轄。

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

但有人在經上某處證明說：人算甚麼，你竟顧念他？世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他？

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?

你叫他比天使微小一點（或作：你叫他暫時比天使小），賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕，並將你手所造的都派他管理，

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: {lower...: or, while inferior to}

叫萬物都服在他的腳下。既叫萬物都服他，就沒有剩下一樣不服他的。只是如今我們還不見萬物都服他。

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.

惟獨見那成為比天使小一點的耶穌（或作：惟獨見耶穌暫時比天使小）；因為受死的苦，就得了尊貴榮耀為冠冕，叫他因著神的恩，為人人嘗了死味。

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. {for the: or, by the}

原來那為萬物所屬為萬物所本的，要領許多的兒子進榮耀裡去，使救他們的元帥，因受苦難得以完全，本是合宜的。

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.

因那使人成聖的和那些得以成聖的，都是出於一。所以，他稱他們為弟兄也不以為恥，

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,

說：我要將你的名傳與我的弟兄，在會中我要頌揚你；

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

又說：我要倚賴他；又說：看哪，我與神所給我的兒女。

And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

兒女既同有血肉之體，他也照樣親自成了血肉之體，特要藉著死敗壞那掌死權的，就是魔鬼，

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;

並要釋放那些一生因怕死而為奴僕的人。

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

他並不救拔天使，乃是救拔亞伯拉罕的後裔。

For verily he took not on {him the nature of} angels; but he took on {him} the seed of Abraham. {took not...: Gr. taketh not hold of angels, but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold}

所以，他凡事該與他的弟兄相同，為要在神的事上成為慈悲忠信的大祭司，為百姓的罪獻上挽回祭。

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.

他自己既然被試探而受苦，就能搭救被試探的人。

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
