Hebrews

同蒙天召的聖潔弟兄阿，你們應當思想我們所認為使者、為大祭司的耶穌。

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

他為那設立他的盡忠，如同摩西在神的全家盡忠一樣。

Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses {was faithful} in all his house. {appointed: Gr. made}

他比摩西算是更配多得榮耀，好像建造房屋的比房屋更尊榮；

For this {man} was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

因為房屋都必有人建造，但建造萬物的就是神。

For every house is builded by some {man}; but he that built all things {is} God.

摩西為僕人，在神的全家誠然盡忠，為要證明將來必傳說的事。

And Moses verily {was} faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

但基督為兒子，治理神的家；我們若將可誇的盼望和膽量堅持到底，便是他的家了。

But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

聖靈有話說：你們今日若聽他的話，

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

就不可硬著心，像在曠野惹他發怒、試探他的時候一樣。

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

在那裡，你們的祖宗試我探我，並且觀看我的作為有四十年之久。

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

所以，我厭煩那世代的人，說：他們心裡常常迷糊，竟不曉得我的作為！

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in {their} heart; and they have not known my ways.

我就在怒中起誓說；他們斷不可進入我的安息。

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) {They...: Gr. If they shall enter}

弟兄們，你們要謹慎，免得你們中間或有人存著不信的惡心，把永生神離棄了。

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

總要趁著還有今日，天天彼此相勸，免得你們中間有人被罪迷惑，心裡就剛硬了。

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

我們若將起初確實的信心堅持到底，就在基督裡有分了。

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

經上說：你們今日若聽他的話，就不可硬著心，像惹他發怒的日子一樣。

While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

那時，聽見他話惹他發怒的是誰呢？豈不是跟著摩西從埃及出來的眾人麼？

For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

神四十年之久，又厭煩誰呢？豈不是那些犯罪、屍首倒在曠野的人麼？

But with whom was he grieved forty years? {was it} not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

又向誰起誓，不容他們進入他的安息呢；豈不是向那些不信從的人麼？

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

這樣看來，他們不能進入安息是因為不信的緣故了。

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
