希 伯 來 書 6
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
6 所以,让我们把关于基督的基本教义留在后边,继续成熟。不要重新打这些基础,即对导致死亡行为的忏悔和对上帝的信仰, 2 以及关于洗礼的教导,按手礼,死者复活和永恒的判决。 3 如果上帝允许,这才是我们要做的事情。
4 再让这些人回归忏悔是不可能的,因为他们已经受到过启蒙,经受过天堂的恩赐,共享过圣灵, 5 体会过上帝话语的好处,以及即将来临的时代的力量,然后又背离了基督的人。再让这些人回归忏悔是不可能的, 6 因为,他们再次把上帝的儿子钉死在十字架上,让他当众蒙受羞辱,这对他们自己是个损失。
7 如果一片土地吸收了频降的雨水,为种地的人长出有用的庄稼,那么它就会受到上帝的祝福; 8 但是长出毫无用处的荆棘和蒺藜的土地却毫无价值,并有受到诅咒的危险它将被烈火焚烧。
9 亲爱的朋友们,尽管我们这么说,但是我们还是相信你们会得到更好的事情,那就是给你们带来拯救的事情。 10 因为上帝是公平的,他不会忘记你们的工作和你们对他的爱,这爱体现在你们过去和现在给予上帝子民的帮助之中。 11 但是,我们期望你们每个人努力到底,最终实现你们的希望。 12 我们希望你们不要变得懒惰,而要效仿那些靠信仰和耐心继承了上帝的许诺的人。
13 上帝向亚伯拉罕许诺的时候,因为没有比他更伟大的人可以凭着发誓,他就凭着自己发誓说: 14 “我将赐大福给你,赐给你众多的子孙后代。” 15 于是,亚伯拉罕耐心地等待着,后来就得到了上帝所许诺的。
16 人们都是用高于自己的人起誓,这誓言证明了所说属实,并结束了一切的争论。 17 上帝要让继承他的许诺的人们清楚地知道,他不会改变初衷,所以,便又用一句誓言来担保。 18 上帝这么做,凭着两件不可能改变的事情。上帝是不可能撒谎的,以至使我们这些逃出苦难的人,抓住摆在我们面前的希望的人,受到极大的鼓舞, 19 我们把这希望当做坚固有力的锚,它让我们安全,它使我们进入帘幕后的至圣处。 20 耶稣代表我们首先进入了这个地方。就像麦基洗德一样,他永远是大祭司。
希伯来书 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
6 所以我们要离开有关基督的初级道理,努力迈向成熟,而不是再次打基础:教导为致死的行为悔改、信靠上帝、 2 各种洗礼、按手礼、死人复活、永远的审判等道理。 3 上帝若许可,我们会这样做。
4 有些人曾蒙上帝光照,尝过天赐恩典的滋味,有份于圣灵, 5 尝过上帝之道的甘美,领悟到永世的权能, 6 却背弃了真道,让他们重新悔改是不可能的。因为他们等于把上帝的儿子重新钉在十字架上,使祂再度公开受辱。 7 一块经常受到雨水滋润的田地若为耕种的人长出庄稼来,就蒙上帝赐福; 8 若长出来的尽是荆棘和蒺藜,就毫无价值,它会面临被咒诅的危险,最后必遭焚烧。
9 亲爱的弟兄姊妹,虽然我们这样说,却深信你们的光景比这强,有得救的表现。 10 因为上帝并非不公义,以致忘记你们为祂所做的工作以及你们过去和现在服侍圣徒所表现的爱心。 11 愿你们各人从始至终表现出同样的殷勤,以便对所盼望的有完全的把握。 12 这样,你们就不致懒散,可以效法那些凭信心和忍耐承受应许的人。
上帝的应许可靠
13 当初,上帝向亚伯拉罕许下诺言的时候,因为没有比自己更大的可以凭着起誓,就凭自己起誓说: 14 “我必赐福给你,使你子孙众多。” 15 亚伯拉罕经过耐心的等待,得到了上帝的应许。
16 人总是指着比自己更大的起誓,并用誓言作保证,了结各样的争论。 17 同样,上帝为要向承受应许的人显明祂的旨意绝不更改,就用誓言向他们保证。 18 上帝绝不说谎,祂将永不改变的应许和誓言给了我们,使我们这些寻找避难所、持定摆在前面之盼望的人可以大得鼓励。 19 我们有这盼望作我们灵魂的锚,既安稳又可靠,一直通往圣幕里面的至圣所。 20 耶稣照麦基洗德的模式成了永远的大祭司,祂替我们先进入了圣幕内。
Hebrews 6
New English Translation
6 Therefore we must progress beyond[a] the elementary[b] instructions about Christ[c] and move on[d] to maturity, not laying this foundation again: repentance from dead works[e] and faith in God, 2 teaching about ritual washings,[f] laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And this is what we intend to do,[g] if God permits. 4 For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 tasted the good word of God and the miracles of the coming age, 6 and then have committed apostasy,[h] to renew them again to repentance, since[i] they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves all over again[j] and holding him up to contempt. 7 For the ground that has soaked up the rain that frequently falls on[k] it and yields useful vegetation for those who tend it receives a blessing from God. 8 But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is useless and about to be cursed;[l] its fate is to be burned. 9 But in your case, dear friends, even though we speak like this, we are convinced of better things relating to salvation. 10 For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name, in having served and continuing to serve the saints. 11 But we passionately want each of you to demonstrate the same eagerness for the fulfillment of your hope until the end, 12 so that you may not be sluggish,[m] but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.
13 Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself, 14 saying, “Surely I will bless you greatly and multiply your descendants abundantly.”[n] 15 And so by persevering, Abraham[o] inherited the promise. 16 For people[p] swear by something greater than themselves,[q] and the oath serves as a confirmation to end all dispute.[r] 17 In the same way[s] God wanted to demonstrate more clearly to the heirs of the promise that his purpose was unchangeable,[t] and so he intervened with an oath, 18 so that we who have found refuge in him[u] may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, sure and steadfast, which reaches inside behind the curtain,[v] 20 where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.[w]
Footnotes
