希伯来书 13
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
做上帝喜悦的事
13 你们要继续彼此相爱，情同手足。 2 不要忘记款待客旅，因为曾经有人接待客旅时不知不觉接待了天使。 3 要设身处地地顾念那些被囚禁的人，要感同身受地顾念那些遭遇苦难的人。
4 人人都要尊重婚姻，不可玷污夫妻关系[a]，因为上帝必审判淫乱和通奸的人。
5 不要贪爱钱财，要对自己拥有的知足，因为上帝说过：
“我永不撇下你，也不离弃你。”
6 这样，我们可以放胆地说：
“主是我的帮助，
我必不惧怕，
人能把我怎么样？”
7 你们要记住从前带领你们、把上帝的道传给你们的人，留心观察他们一生如何行事为人，效法他们的信心。 8 耶稣基督昨日、今日、直到永远都不改变。 9 你们不要被五花八门的异端邪说勾引了去，因为心中得到力量是靠上帝的恩典，而不是靠饮食上的礼仪，这些礼仪从未使遵守的人受益。
10 我们有一座祭坛，坛上的祭物是那些在圣幕里工作的人没有权利吃的。 11 大祭司把祭牲的血带进圣所作为赎罪祭献上，而祭牲的身体则在营外烧掉。 12 同样，耶稣也在城门外受难，为要用自己的血使祂的子民圣洁。 13 因此，让我们也走出营外到祂那里，忍受祂所忍受的凌辱吧！ 14 我们在地上没有永远的城，我们寻求的是那将来的城。
15 让我们靠着基督，常常开口以颂赞为祭献给上帝，这是承认主名的人[b]所结的果子。 16 不可忘记行善和帮补别人，因为这样的祭是上帝所喜悦的。
17 要顺服引导你们的人，因为他们为你们的灵魂时刻警醒，将来要向上帝交账。你们要听从他们，使他们满心喜乐地尽此职责，不致忧愁，否则对你们毫无益处。
18 请为我们祷告，因为我们自信良心无愧，凡事都愿意遵行正道。 19 也请你们特别为我祷告，使我能够早日回到你们那里。
祝福与问安
20 愿赐平安的上帝，就是那位凭着立永恒之约的血使群羊的大牧人——我主耶稣从死里复活的上帝， 21 在各样善事上成全你们，好使你们遵行祂的旨意，并借着主耶稣在你们心中动工，使你们做祂喜悦的事！愿荣耀归给上帝，直到永永远远。阿们！
22 弟兄姊妹，我简短地写信给你们，希望你们听我劝勉的话。 23 你们知道，我们的弟兄提摩太已经被释放了。如果他及时来到，我会与他一起去看你们。
24 请代我问候所有带领你们的人以及众圣徒。从意大利来的人也问候你们。
25 愿恩典与你们众人同在！
Hebrews 13
Expanded Bible
13 Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. 2 ·Remember [Do not forget/neglect] to ·welcome [show hospitality to] strangers, because some who have done this have welcomed angels without knowing it [Gen. 18:1–16; 19:1–22]. 3 Remember those who are in prison as if you were in prison with them. Remember those who are ·suffering [mistreated] ·as if you were suffering with them [or since you are vulnerable to the same treatment; L being in a/the body yourselves].
4 Marriage should be honored by everyone, and ·husband and wife should keep their marriage [L the marriage bed should be kept] ·pure [undefiled]. God will ·judge as guilty [L judge] ·those who take part in sexual sins [L the sexually immoral and adulterers]. 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be ·satisfied [content] with what you have. [L For] God has said,
“I will never leave you;
I will never ·abandon [T forsake] you [Deut. 31:6].”
6 So we can be ·sure [confident; bold] when we say,
“I will not be afraid, because the Lord is my helper.
·People can’t do anything [L What can people do…?] to me [Ps. 118:6].”
7 Remember your leaders who ·taught [proclaimed; spoke] God’s ·message [word] to you. ·Remember [Consider; Reflect on] ·how they lived and died [or the outcome/result of their way of life], and ·copy [imitate] their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9 Do not let all kinds of strange teachings ·lead you into the wrong way [take you off course; lead you astray]. ·Your hearts should be strengthened by [or Inner strength comes from] God’s grace, not by obeying rules about foods [C referring to Jewish dietary laws; Lev. 11; Mark 7:19; Acts 10; Col. 2:16], which ·do not help [or have never benefited] those who ·obey [observe; live by] them.
10 We have a ·sacrifice [L altar], but the priests who serve in the ·Holy Tent [T Tabernacle] ·cannot [L have no authority/right to] eat from it. 11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the ·Most Holy Place [sanctuary; L holy things; T Holy of Holies] where he offers this blood for sins. But the bodies of the animals are burned outside the camp [Lev. 6:11]. 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the ·city [L gate] to ·make his people holy [sanctify the people] ·with [through] his own blood. 13 So let us go to Jesus outside the camp, ·holding on as he did when we are abused [L bearing the abuse/humiliation he bore].
14 [L For] Here on earth we do not have a city that ·lasts forever [endures], but we are ·looking for [seeking] the city that ·we will have in the future [is to come]. 15 So through Jesus let us ·always [continuously] offer to God our sacrifice of praise, ·coming from [L which is the fruit of] lips that ·speak [profess; acknowledge] his name. 16 Do not ·forget [neglect] to do good to others, and share with them, because such sacrifices please God.
17 ·Obey [or Have confidence in] your leaders and ·act under [or submit to] their authority. [L For; Because] They are watching over you, because they ·are responsible [will give an account (to God)] for ·your souls [or you]. ·Obey them [Do this; Act this way] so that they will do this work with joy, not ·sadness [or complaint; groaning], for that would be of no ·benefit [advantage; help] to you.
18 Pray for us. We are ·sure [convinced] that we have a clear conscience, ·because [or and] we always want to ·do the right thing [act honorably]. 19 I especially ·beg [urge; exhort] you to pray so that ·God will send me back [L I may be restored] to you soon.
22 My brothers and sisters, I ·beg [urge; exhort] you to ·listen patiently to [bear with] this message I have written to ·encourage [exhort] you, because ·it is not very long [L I have written to you briefly]. 23 I want you to know that our brother Timothy [Acts 16:1–5; 1 Cor. 16:10–11; Phil. 2:19–24; 1 and 2 Timothy] has been ·let out of prison [L released]. If he arrives soon, ·we will both come [he will come with me] to see you.
24 Greet all your leaders and all ·of God’s people [T the saints]. Those from Italy send greetings to you.
25 Grace be with you all.
Hebrews 13
King James Version
13 Let brotherly love continue.
2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
Yehudim in Moshiach 13
Orthodox Jewish Bible
13 Let ahavat achim (brotherly love) continue.
2 Do not neglect hachnosas orchim (hospitality), for by this some without having da’as of it, have entertained malachim.
3 Have zikaron of the prisoners in the beis hasohar, as if having been bound with sharsherot (chains) with them; and those being tortured as though you were also.
4 Let the marriage Chuppah have respect in the eyes of all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for those guilty of gilui arayot (sexual immorality) and no’afim (adulterers), Hashem will judge.
5 Fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech free of chamdanut (covetousness), being content with what you have, for He Himself has said, LO ARPECHA V’LO E’EZVECHA ("I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you” DEVARIM 31:6,8; YEHOSHUA 1:5),
6 So that we say with bitachon, HASHEM LI my helper, LO IRA MAH YA’ASEH LI ADAM ("The L-rd is my helper, I will not be afraid. What shall man do to me?"—TEHILLIM 118:6)?
7 Remember your manhigim and be machshiv (respect) and mechabed (honor) those who spoke to you the dvar Hashem; and considering the toitzaa (outcome) of their derech, imitate their Emunah.
8 Yehoshua—Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, the same etmol, hayom, ul’Olamim.
9 Do not be carried away by various torot zarot; for it is tov for the lev to be given chizzuk by the Chen v’Chesed Hashem, not by okhel through which those who were thus occupied were not benefited.
10 We have a Mizbe’ach from which those who serve the Mishkan have no right to eat.
11 For the zevakhim whose dahm is brought into the Kodesh HaKodashim by the Kohen Gadol as a Kapparat HaChet are burned outside the makhaneh (camp).
12 Therefore, Yehoshua also, that he might make the Am Brit kadoshim through his own dahm, suffered outside the sha’ar.
13 So then, let us go out to him outside the makhaneh, bearing the reproach of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
14 For we do not have here a lasting Ir HaKodesh, but we seek one to come.
15 By him, therefore, let us offer up a zevach todah to Hashem continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving hodayah (thanksgiving) to SHMO (“HIS NAME” ZECHARIAH 6:11-12; 3:8).
16 But do not drift away from ma’asim tovim and sharing; for with such zevakhim Hashem is well pleased.
17 Obey your manhigim and submit to them; for they are being shomer over your neshamot, as those who have achraius (answerability, accountability) [to Hashem]. Let them do so with simcha and not with agmat nefesh, for that would not be profitable for you.
18 Daven tefillos for us, for we are persuaded that we have a clear matzpun (conscience) in everything, wishing to conduct ourselves commendably in all things.
19 And I urge you all the more to do this, that I may be restored to you more quickly.
20 Now the Elohei Hashalom, who brought up in the Techiyas HaMoshiach, HaRo’eh HaTzon HaGadol, through the Dahm Brit Olam, even Adoneinu,
21 May He equip you with every ma’aseh tov in order to do His ratzon, working in us that which is well pleasing in His sight through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, to whom be kavod l’Olemei Olamim. Omein.
22 Now I urge you, Achim b’Moshiach, bear with this dvar hachizzuk, for indeed an iggeret I have written you bekitzur (briefly, concisely).
23 Have da’as that our Ach b’Moshiach Timotiyos has been released, with whom if he comes shortly, I will see you.
24 Shalom greetings to all your manhigim and all the kadoshim. The ones from Italy send shalom greetings to you.
25 Chen v’Chesed Hashem be with all of you. [T.N. MJ 4:15 "tempted in every way as we are, yet without chet." means chet as inborn and immemorial yetzer hara evil inclination which is Chet Kadmon Original Sin whose power and control is passed down to Bnei Adam from Adam, Ro3:9; Ro 5:12-see pages vii-ix on Moshiach Immanu-El Ben HaAlmah uncontaminated by Chet Kadmon].
