希伯來書 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
永遠的贖罪祭
10 律法只是將來美事的一個投影，並非本體的真像，所以年復一年的獻祭不能使前來敬拜的人純全。 2 否則，獻祭的事早已終止了，因為敬拜的人若獻一次祭就能徹底得到潔淨，他們就不再覺得有罪了。 3 然而，每年獻祭的事都使人想起自己的罪來， 4 因為公牛和山羊的血根本不能除去人的罪。
5 所以，基督來到世上的時候曾說：
「上帝啊，祭物和供物非你所悅，
你為我預備了身體。
6 你並非喜愛燔祭和贖罪祭。
7 於是我說，
『上帝啊，我來是要遵行你的旨意，
我的事都記在聖經上了。』」
8 基督首先說：「祭物、供物、燔祭和贖罪祭都不是你想要的，也不是你喜悅的。」這些都是依照律法獻上的。 9 然後祂又說：「我來是要遵行你的旨意。」這樣，祂廢除了前者，為要設立後者。 10 上帝的旨意是：耶穌基督只一次獻上自己的身體，便使我們永遠聖潔了。
11 祭司都要天天站著供職，一次次地獻上同樣的祭物，只是這些祭物根本不能除罪。 12 而基督一次獻上自己成為永遠的贖罪祭後，就坐在上帝的右邊， 13 等待祂的仇敵成為祂的腳凳。 14 祂憑自己的一次犧牲，使那些得以聖潔的人永遠純全。
15 聖靈也向我們做見證，說：
16 「主說，那些日子以後，
我將與他們立這樣的約，
我要把我的律例放在他們心中，
寫在他們腦中。
17 我要忘記他們的過犯和罪惡。」
18 既然過犯和罪惡已經得到赦免，就不需要再為罪獻祭了。
堅忍到底
19-20 弟兄姊妹，耶穌已用寶血為我們開闢了一條又新又活的路，使我們可以穿過幔子，就是祂的身體，坦然進入至聖所。 21 並且，我們有一位大祭司管理上帝的家， 22 祂潔淨了我們被罪困擾的良心，用清水洗淨了我們的身體。因此，我們要信心十足、真誠地到上帝面前。 23 我們要堅定不移地持守我們所認定的盼望，因為賜應許的那位是信實的。 24 我們要想辦法彼此相顧，激發愛心，勉勵行善。 25 不要停止聚會，像那些停止慣了的人，要互相鼓勵，特別是你們知道主再來的日子近了。
26 因為我們知道了真理以後，若仍然故意犯罪，就再沒有贖罪祭了， 27 只有可怕的審判和燒滅敵對者的烈火等候我們。 28 人違犯摩西的律法，經兩三個人指證後，尚且被毫不留情地處死， 29 更何況人踐踏上帝的兒子，輕看那使人聖潔的立約之血，又藐視賜人恩典的聖靈？這等人該受多麼重的刑罰啊！ 30 我們知道上帝說過：「伸冤在我，我必報應。」祂又說：「主要審判祂的百姓。」 31 落在永活上帝的手中是可怕的！
32 你們要回想當初的日子，那時你們蒙了光照以後，忍受了各種苦難的煎熬。 33 有時候，你們在眾目睽睽之下被辱駡，受迫害；有時候，你們和遭受這樣苦難的人同舟共濟。 34 你們體恤那些坐牢的人，即使你們的家業被搶奪，仍然甘心忍受，因為你們知道自己有更美的、永遠長存的家業。 35 所以切勿失去勇敢的心，因為勇敢的心會給你們帶來大賞賜。 36 你們需要堅忍到底，這樣你們遵行了上帝的旨意後，便可以得到祂的應許。
37 因爲「將要來臨的那位很快要來了，絕不遲延。 38 屬我的義人必靠信心而活。他若畏縮退後，我必不喜悅他。」 39 但我們都不是退後走向滅亡的人，而是因為有信心而靈魂得救的人。
Hebrews 10
Good News Translation
10 The Jewish Law is not a full and faithful model of the real things; it is only a faint outline of the good things to come. The same sacrifices are offered forever, year after year. How can the Law, then, by means of these sacrifices make perfect the people who come to God? 2 If the people worshiping God had really been purified from their sins, they would not feel guilty of sin any more, and all sacrifices would stop. 3 As it is, however, the sacrifices serve year after year to remind people of their sins. 4 For the blood of bulls and goats can never take away sins.
5 (A)For this reason, when Christ was about to come into the world, he said to God:
“You do not want sacrifices and offerings,
but you have prepared a body for me.
6 You are not pleased with animals burned whole on the altar
or with sacrifices to take away sins.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am,
to do your will, O God,
just as it is written of me in the book of the Law.’”
8 First he said, “You neither want nor are you pleased with sacrifices and offerings or with animals burned on the altar and the sacrifices to take away sins.” He said this even though all these sacrifices are offered according to the Law. 9 Then he said, “Here I am, O God, to do your will.” So God does away with all the old sacrifices and puts the sacrifice of Christ in their place. 10 Because Jesus Christ did what God wanted him to do, we are all purified from sin by the offering that he made of his own body once and for all.
11 (B)Every Jewish priest performs his services every day and offers the same sacrifices many times; but these sacrifices can never take away sins. 12 (C)Christ, however, offered one sacrifice for sins, an offering that is effective forever, and then he sat down at the right side of God. 13 There he now waits until God puts his enemies as a footstool under his feet. 14 With one sacrifice, then, he has made perfect forever those who are purified from sin.
15 And the Holy Spirit also gives us his witness. First he says,
16 (D)“This is the covenant that I will make with them
in the days to come, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their hearts
and write them on their minds.”
17 (E)And then he says, “I will not remember their sins and evil deeds any longer.” 18 So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed.
Let Us Come Near to God
19 We have, then, my friends, complete freedom to go into the Most Holy Place by means of the death of Jesus. 20 He opened for us a new way, a living way, through the curtain—that is, through his own body. 21 We have a great priest in charge of the house of God. 22 (F)So let us come near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith, with hearts that have been purified from a guilty conscience and with bodies washed with clean water. 23 Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise. 24 Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good. 25 Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing. Instead, let us encourage one another all the more, since you see that the Day of the Lord is coming nearer.
26 For there is no longer any sacrifice that will take away sins if we purposely go on sinning after the truth has been made known to us. 27 (G)Instead, all that is left is to wait in fear for the coming Judgment and the fierce fire which will destroy those who oppose God! 28 (H)Anyone who disobeys the Law of Moses is put to death without any mercy when judged guilty from the evidence of two or more witnesses. 29 (I)What, then, of those who despise the Son of God? who treat as a cheap thing the blood of God's covenant which purified them from sin? who insult the Spirit of grace? Just think how much worse is the punishment they will deserve! 30 (J)For we know who said, “I will take revenge, I will repay”; and who also said, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
32 Remember how it was with you in the past. In those days, after God's light had shone on you, you suffered many things, yet were not defeated by the struggle. 33 You were at times publicly insulted and mistreated, and at other times you were ready to join those who were being treated in this way. 34 You shared the sufferings of prisoners, and when all your belongings were seized, you endured your loss gladly, because you knew that you still possessed something much better, which would last forever. 35 Do not lose your courage, then, because it brings with it a great reward. 36 You need to be patient, in order to do the will of God and receive what he promises. 37 (K)For, as the scripture says,
“Just a little while longer,
and he who is coming will come;
he will not delay.
38 My righteous people, however, will believe and live;
but if any of them turns back,
I will not be pleased with them.”
39 We are not people who turn back and are lost. Instead, we have faith and are saved.
Hebrews 10
American Standard Version
10 For the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, [a]can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh. 2 Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance made of sins year by year. 4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. 5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,
[b]Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not,
But a body didst thou prepare for me;
6 In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure:
7 Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me)
To do thy will, O God.
8 Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law), 9 then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 [c]By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every [d]priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins: 12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for [e]sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 15 And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,
16 [f]This is the covenant that [g]I will make with them
After those days, saith the Lord:
I will put my laws on their heart,
And upon their mind also will I write them;
then saith he,
17 And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21 and having a great priest over the house of God; 22 let us draw near with a true heart in [h]fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil [i]conscience: and having our body washed with pure water, 23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised: 24 and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works; 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a [j]fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. 28 A man that hath set at nought Moses’ law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses: 29 of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified [k]an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that said, [l]Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, [m]The Lord shall judge his people. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings; 33 partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used. 34 For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions, knowing that [n]ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one. 35 Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward. 36 For ye have need of [o]patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.
37 [p]For yet a very little while,
He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.
38 But [q]my righteous one shall live by faith:
And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not [r]of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the [s]saving of the soul.
