希伯来书 12
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
要坚忍到底
12 因此,我们既然有这么一大群见证人,如同云彩围绕着我们,就让我们脱去各样的重担和容易缠累我们的罪,藉着忍耐去跑那摆在我们前面的赛程, 2 仰望信仰的创始者和成终者耶稣。他为了[a]那摆在他前面的喜乐,就轻看羞辱,忍受了十字架,如今坐在神宝座的右边。
为父的管教
3 其实,你们应当仔细地思想耶稣如何忍受了罪人的顶撞,这样你们心里[b]就不会因丧气而疲倦。 4 你们与罪争战,还没有抵抗到流血的地步。 5 难道你们已经忘记那安慰的话吗?就是他对你们如同对儿女那样讲论的话:
“我儿,你不可轻看主的管教;
被他责备的时候,也不可丧气。
6 因为主所爱的人,主都管教;
他所接纳的每一个儿子,他都鞭打。”[c]
7 对管教的事,你们要忍受;神对待你们,就像对待儿女那样。到底哪一个儿子不受父亲的管教呢? 8 大家都有份受管教;你们如果没有受管教,那么,你们就是私生子,不是儿子了。 9 再者,我们有肉身的父亲来管教我们,我们尚且敬重他们,何况对这位万灵之父,我们难道不更要服从他而活着吗? 10 肉身的父亲在短暂的日子里,固然照着自己的意思来管教我们;但万灵之父是为了我们的益处管教我们,好使我们在他的圣洁上有份。 11 不过所有的管教,当时虽然不觉得是愉快的事,反觉得是忧伤的事,而后来却为那些由此受到操练的人,结出平安和义行的果子。
12 因此,你们要把发软的手、发酸的腿伸直吧! 13 也要为你们的脚把道路修直[d],好使瘸腿的不至扭脚[e],反得痊愈。
警告弃绝神恩典的人
14 你们要追求与众人和睦,要追求圣洁。任何不圣洁的人,都不能见到主。 15 你们要谨慎,免得有人亏缺了神的恩典;免得有苦毒的根长起来搅扰你们,使许多人因此被污秽了; 16 又免得有淫乱的,或像以扫那样不敬神的。以扫为了[f]一点食物,就把自己长子的名份卖了; 17 你们知道,后来他想继承祝福,却被弃绝了,虽然他流着泪水寻求,还是找不到悔改的机会。
18 你们并不是来到了摸得着的山[g]、燃烧着的火、阴云、幽暗、风暴、 19 号角的响声和说话的声音面前——那些听见这声音的人,都恳求不要再向他们说话了, 20 因为他们担当不了那吩咐他们的话:“即使是野兽触摸这山,也要用石头砸死[h]。”[i] 21 那景象实在可怕,连摩西也说:“我非常害怕战兢。”[j] 22 相反,你们却是来到了锡安山、永生神的城、天上的耶路撒冷面前;来到了千万天使的盛会面前; 23 来到了长子们[k]的教会面前——他们的名字[l]已经登记在天上;来到了神面前——他是万人的审判者;来到了义人的灵魂面前——他们得以完全; 24 来到了耶稣面前——他是新约的中保;来到了所洒的血面前——这血比亚伯的血所述说的更美好。
25 你们要当心,不要拒绝向你们[m]说话的那一位。要知道,那些拒绝了在地上警告他们的,尚且无法逃脱惩罚[n],更何况我们背弃从天上警告我们的那一位呢! 26 那时候,他的声音震动了大地,但如今他应许说:“我不仅要再一次震动地,而且还要震动天。”[o] 27 “再一次”这句话表明了那些能够被震动的,就如被造之物,都要被挪去,好使那些不能被震动的可以存留。 28 因此,我们既然在领受一个不能被震动的国度,就让我们怀有感恩的心[p],藉此以虔诚和敬畏,照着神所喜悦的[q]来事奉他。 29 要知道,我们的神实在是吞噬的烈火。

希伯来书 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
仰望耶稣
12 既然有这么多见证人像云彩一般围绕着我们,我们就要放下一切重担,摆脱容易缠累我们的罪,以坚忍的心奔跑我们前面的赛程, 2 定睛仰望为我们的信心创始成终的耶稣。祂为了摆在前面的喜乐,就轻看羞辱,忍受了十字架的痛苦,如今已坐在上帝宝座的右边。 3 你们要思想忍受罪人如此顶撞的主,免得疲倦灰心。
爱的管教
4 其实你们与罪恶搏斗,还没有抵挡到流血的地步。 5 你们难道忘了那像劝勉儿子一样劝勉你们的话吗?“孩子啊,不可轻视主的管教,被祂责备的时候也不要灰心。 6 因为主管教祂所爱的人,责罚[a]祂收纳的儿子。”
7 你们要忍受管教,上帝对待你们如同对待自己的儿子。哪有儿子不受父亲管教的呢? 8 做子女的都会受管教,如果没人管教你们,那你们就是私生子,不是儿子。 9 再者,我们的生身父亲管教我们,我们尚且敬重他们,何况是万灵之父上帝管教我们,我们岂不更要顺服祂并得到生命吗? 10 我们的生身父亲是按自己以为好的标准暂时管教我们,但上帝是为了我们的益处而管教我们,使我们可以在祂的圣洁上有份。 11 被管教的滋味绝不好受,当时都很痛苦,但事后那些受过管教的人会收获公义和平安的果子。 12 所以,你们要举起下垂的手,挺直发酸的腿, 13 修直脚下的路,使瘸腿的人不致扭伤脚,反得痊愈。
切勿违背上帝
14 你们要尽力与大家和睦相处,并要追求圣洁的生活,因为不圣洁的人不能见主。 15 你们要谨慎,以免有人失去上帝的恩典,长出苦毒的根扰乱你们,玷污众人。 16 要小心,免得有人像以扫那样淫乱、不敬虔。他为了一时的口腹之欲,卖了自己长子的名分。 17 你们知道,他后来想要承受父亲对长子的祝福,却遭到拒绝,虽然声泪俱下,终无法使父亲回心转意。
18 你们并非来到那座摸得到、有火焰、乌云、黑暗、狂风、 19 号角声和说话声的西奈山,听见这些声音的人都哀求不要再向他们说话了。 20 因为他们承担不了所领受的命令:“即便是动物靠近这山,也要用石头打死它!” 21 那情景实在可怕,就连摩西也说:“我吓得发抖。”
22 但你们现在来到了锡安山,永活上帝的城邑,天上的耶路撒冷,欢聚着千万天使的地方。 23 这里有名字记录在天上的众长子的教会,有审判众人的上帝和已达到纯全的义人的灵魂, 24 还有新约的中保耶稣和祂所流的血。这血比亚伯的血发出更美的信息。
25 你们必须谨慎,切勿拒绝对你们说话的上帝。因为以色列人违背了在地上警戒他们的人,尚且逃脱不了惩罚,何况我们违背从天上警戒我们的上帝呢? 26 那时上帝的声音震动了大地,但现在祂应许说:“再一次,我不单要震动地,还要震动天。” 27 “再一次”这句话是指上帝要挪去可以被震动的受造之物,使不能被震动的可以长存。 28 那么,既然我们承受的是一个不能被震动的国度,就要感恩,用虔诚和敬畏的心事奉上帝,讨祂喜悦。 29 因为我们的上帝是烈火。

Hebrews 12
New American Standard Bible 1995
Jesus, the Example
12 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also (A)lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us (B)run with (C)endurance the race that is set before us, 2 [a]fixing our eyes on Jesus, the [b](D)author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him (E)endured the cross, (F)despising the shame, and has (G)sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For (H)consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary [c](I)and lose heart.
A Father’s Discipline
4 (J)You have not yet resisted [d](K)to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; 5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
“(L)My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
Nor (M)faint when you are reproved by Him;
6 (N)For those (O)whom the Lord loves He disciplines,
And He scourges every son whom He receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you endure; (P)God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, (Q)of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we had [e]earthly fathers to discipline us, and we (R)respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to (S)the Father of [f]spirits, and (T)live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, (U)so that we may share His holiness. 11 All discipline (V)for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the (W)peaceful fruit of righteousness.
12 Therefore, [g](X)strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble, 13 and (Y)make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather (Z)be healed.
14 (AA)Pursue peace with all men, and the (AB)sanctification without which no one will (AC)see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one (AD)comes short of the grace of God; that no (AE)root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be (AF)defiled; 16 that there be no (AG)immoral or (AH)godless person like Esau, (AI)who sold his own birthright for a single meal. 17 For you know that even afterwards, (AJ)when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.
Contrast of Sinai and Zion
18 (AK)For you have not come to (AL)a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind, 19 and to the (AM)blast of a trumpet and the (AN)sound of words which sound was such that those who heard (AO)begged that no further word be spoken to them. 20 For they could not bear the command, “(AP)If even a beast touches the mountain, it will be stoned.” 21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, “(AQ)I am full of fear and trembling.” 22 But (AR)you have come to Mount Zion and to (AS)the city of (AT)the living God, (AU)the heavenly Jerusalem, and to (AV)myriads of [h]angels, 23 to the general assembly and (AW)church of the firstborn who (AX)are enrolled in heaven, and to God, (AY)the Judge of all, and to the (AZ)spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 and to Jesus, the (BA)mediator of a new covenant, and to the (BB)sprinkled blood, which speaks better than (BC)the blood of Abel.
The Unshaken Kingdom
25 (BD)See to it that you do not refuse Him who is (BE)speaking. For (BF)if those did not escape when they (BG)refused him who (BH)warned them on earth, [i]much less will we escape who turn away from Him who (BI)warns from heaven. 26 And (BJ)His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “(BK)Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” 27 This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes (BL)the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we receive a (BM)kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us [j]show gratitude, by which we may (BN)offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; 29 for (BO)our God is a consuming fire.
