希伯来书 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶穌比摩西更尊貴
3 因此，同蒙天召的聖潔的弟兄啊！你們應該想想耶穌，就是作使徒、作我們所宣認的大祭司的那一位。 2 他忠於那位委派他的，好像摩西在 神的全家盡忠一樣。 3 他比摩西配得更大的榮耀，好像建造房屋的人比房屋配得更大的尊貴一樣。 4 因為每一間房屋都是人建造的，只有萬物是 神建造的。 5 摩西不過是個僕人，在 神的全家盡忠，為以後要傳講的事作證； 6 但是基督卻是兒子，管理自己的家。如果我們把坦然無懼的心和可誇的盼望持守到底，我們就是他的家了。
以色列人因不信得不到安息
7 所以，就像聖靈所說的：
“如果你們今天聽從他的聲音，
8 就不要硬著心，
好像在曠野惹他發怒、
試探他的日子一樣；
9 在那裡，你們的祖先以試驗來試探我，
觀看我的作為有四十年之久。
10 所以，我向那個世代的人發怒，說：‘他們心裡常常迷誤，
不認識我的道路。’
11 我就在烈怒中起誓，說：
‘他們絕不可進入我的安息。’”
12 弟兄們，你們要小心，免得你們中間有人存著邪惡、不信的心，以致離棄了永活的 神； 13 趁著還有叫作“今天”的時候，總要天天互相勸勉，免得你們中間有人受了罪惡的誘惑，心裡就剛硬了。 14 如果我們把起初的信念堅持到底，就是有分於基督的人了。 15 經上說：
“如果你們今天聽從他的聲音，
就不要硬著心，
像惹他發怒的時候一樣。”
16 那時，聽了他的話而惹他發怒的是誰呢？不就是摩西從埃及領出來的那些人嗎？ 17 四十年之久， 神向誰發怒呢？不就是向那些犯了罪陳屍曠野的人嗎？ 18 他又向誰起誓說，他們絕對不可以進入他的安息呢？不就是向那些不順從的人嗎？ 19 這樣看來，他們不能進入安息，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.
