希伯來書 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
耶穌超越摩西
3 因此，同蒙天召的聖潔的弟兄姊妹，你們應當仔細思想那位我們公認為特使和大祭司的耶穌。 2 祂向委任祂的上帝盡忠，就好像摩西向上帝的全家盡忠一樣。 3 然而祂卻比摩西配得更大的榮耀，因為建造房子的人當然比房子更尊貴。 4 所有的房子都有建造者，但建造萬物的是上帝。 5 摩西以僕人的身分向上帝的全家盡忠，為將來要宣告的事做見證。 6 但基督是以兒子的身分忠心治理上帝的家。我們若堅強勇敢，持定引以為榮的盼望，我們就是祂的家了。
不可存剛硬的心
7 因此，正如聖靈說：
「你們今天若聽見祂的聲音，
8 不可心裡頑固，
像從前在曠野試探祂、悖逆祂一樣。
9 當時，你們的祖先試我、探我，
觀看我的作為達四十年之久。
10 所以，我向那世代的人發怒，
說，『他們總是執迷不悟，
不認識我的道路。』
11 我就在憤怒中起誓說，
『他們絕不可進入我的安息。』」
12 弟兄姊妹，要謹慎，免得你們當中有人心存惡念，不肯相信，背棄了永活的上帝。 13 趁著還有今日，要天天互相勸勉，免得有人被罪迷惑，心裡變得剛硬。 14 如果我們將起初的信念堅持到底，便在基督裡有份了。
15 聖經上說：
「你們今日若聽見祂的聲音，
不可像從前那樣硬著心悖逆祂。」
16 聽見祂的聲音卻又悖逆祂的是誰呢？不就是摩西從埃及領出來的那些人嗎？ 17 四十年之久惹上帝發怒的是誰呢？不就是那些犯罪作惡並倒斃在曠野的人嗎？ 18 上帝起誓不准誰進入祂的安息呢？不就是那些不肯信從的人嗎？ 19 可見，他們不能進入上帝的安息是因為不信的緣故。
Hebrews 3
Easy-to-Read Version
Jesus Is Greater Than Moses
3 So, my brothers and sisters, those chosen by God to be his holy people, think about Jesus. He is the one we believe God sent to save us and to be our high priest. 2 God made him our high priest, and he was faithful to God just as Moses was. He did everything God wanted him to do in God’s house. 3 When someone builds a house, people will honor the builder more than the house. It is the same with Jesus. He should have more honor than Moses. 4 Every house is built by someone, but God built everything. 5 Moses was faithful as a servant in God’s whole house. He told people what God would say in the future. 6 But Christ is faithful in ruling God’s house as the Son. And we are God’s house, if we remain confident of the great hope we are glad to say we have.
We Must Continue to Follow God
7 So it is just as the Holy Spirit says:
“If you hear God’s voice today,
8 don’t be stubborn as you were in the past,
when you turned against God.
That was the day you tested God in the desert.
9 For 40 years in the desert, your people saw what I did.
But they tested me and my patience.
10 So I was angry with them.
I said, ‘Their thoughts are always wrong.
They have never understood my ways.’
11 So I was angry and made a promise:
‘They will never enter my place of rest.’” (A)
12 So, brothers and sisters, be careful that none of you has the evil thoughts that cause so much doubt that you stop following the living God. 13 But encourage each other every day, while you still have something called “today.[a]” Help each other so that none of you will be fooled by sin and become too hard to change. 14 We have the honor of sharing in all that Christ has if we continue until the end to have the sure faith we had in the beginning. 15 That’s why the Spirit said,
“If you hear God’s voice today,
don’t be stubborn as in the past
when you turned against God.” (B)
16 Who were those who heard God’s voice and turned against him? It was all the people Moses led out of Egypt. 17 And who was God angry with for 40 years? He was angry with those who sinned. And their dead bodies were left in the desert. 18 And which people was God talking to when he promised that they would never enter his place of rest? He was talking to those who did not obey him. 19 So we see that they were not allowed to enter and have God’s rest, because they did not believe.
