希伯来书 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
信的人可以进入安息
4 所以，那进入安息的应许，既然还给我们留着，我们就应该战战兢兢，恐怕我们中间有人像是被淘汰了。 2 因为有福音传给我们，像传给他们一样，只是他们所听见的道，对他们没有益处，因为他们没有用信心与所听见的打成一片（“没有用信心与所听见的打成一片”，有古卷作“没有用信心与听从这道的人打成一片”）。 3 然而我们信了的人，就可以进入那安息。正如 神所说：
“我在烈怒中起誓说，
他们绝不可进入我的安息！”
其实 神的工作，从创立世界以来已经完成了。 4 因为论到第七日，他在圣经某一处说：“在第七日 神歇了他的一切工作。” 5 但在这里又说：“他们绝不可进入我的安息。” 6 既然这安息还留着要让一些人进去，但那些以前听过福音的人，因为不顺从不得进去； 7 所以 神就再定一个日子，就是过了很久以后，借着大卫所说的“今天”，就像前面引用过的：
“如果你们今天听从他的声音，
就不要硬着心。”
8 如果约书亚已经使他们享受了安息， 神后来就不会再提到别的日子了。 9 这样看来，为了 神的子民，必定另外有一个“安息日”的安息保留下来。 10 因为那进入 神安息的人，就歇了自己的工作，好象 神歇了自己的工作一样。 11 所以，我们要竭力进入那安息，免得有人随着那不顺从的样子就跌倒了。 12 因为 神的道是活的，是有效的，比一切两刃的剑更锋利，甚至可以刺入剖开魂与灵，关节与骨髓，并且能够辨明心中的思想和意念。 13 被造的在 神面前没有一样不是显明的，万有在他的眼前都是赤露敞开的；我们必须向他交帐。
我们的大祭司耶稣
14 我们既然有一位伟大的、经过了众天的大祭司，就是 神的儿子耶稣，就应该坚持所宣认的信仰。 15 因为我们的大祭司并不是不能同情我们的软弱，他像我们一样，也曾在各方面受过试探，只是他没有犯罪。 16 所以，我们只管坦然无惧地来到施恩的宝座前，为的是要领受怜悯，得到恩惠，作为及时的帮助。
希 伯 來 書 4
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
4 既然我们能够进入上帝安息的许诺依然存在，那么就让我们当心吧，不要让你们中间任何人被认为失败了。 2 我们像以色列人一样，上帝的福音已经传播给了我们，但是以色列人听到福音却没有受益，因为他们听到福音时，没有怀着信仰去接受。 3 只有我们这些相信的人才能得到这安宁。正如上帝所说：
“我在愤怒中发誓说：
‘他们绝不能从我这里得到安宁。’” (A)
然而自创世以来，上帝已经完成了他的工作。 4 《经》里有一处是这样描写第七天的∶“第七天，上帝停下所有的工作，休息了。” [a] 5 在上一段里，上帝还说：
“他们绝不能从我这里得到安息。” (B)
6 所以，尽管有人会进入他的安宁，但那些早已听到向他们传播的福音，却不服从的人，就没有进入这安宁， 7 因此上帝又设定某一天为“今天”。很多年以后，上帝通过大卫谈论到这天，也就是我们在上文中所引用的那段：
“今天，如果你们听到了上帝的声音，
不要像过去一样固执。” (C)
8 因为，假如约书亚 [b]已经带领人们得到了上帝许诺的安宁，那么，上帝后来就不会再说到另一个日子了。 9 所以，第七天依旧是上帝子民的安息日。 10 任何从上帝那里得到安息的人，都会停下工作去休息，就像上帝停止工作去休息一样。 11 因此，让我们努力争取得到那安宁，免得步以色列人不服从的后尘而得不到它。
12 上帝的话是有生命力和积极的，它比任何双刃宝剑都要锋利，它能够穿透、剖分灵与魂、关节和骨髓，它能够判断人们心中的意图与思想。 13 没有任何被创造的事物能躲过他的视野，一切都赤裸裸地袒露在他的眼前，我们必须向他交待我们的生活方式。
耶稣是我们的大祭司
14 既然我们有一位升入天国的大祭司，即上帝之子耶稣，那么就让我们坚持我们表达的信仰吧。 15 我们的大祭司并非是不同情我们弱点的人，他也曾像我们一样，在各方面受到诱惑，然而从没有犯罪。 16 让我们满怀信心来到赐恩典的那位的宝座前，以便在我们有需要的时候领受到他的怜悯，并得到他仁慈的帮助。

Hebrews 4
International Children’s Bible
4 Now God has left us that promise that we may enter and have his rest. Let us be very careful, then, so that none of you will fail to get that rest. 2 The Good News was preached to us just as it was to them. But the teaching they heard did not help them. They heard it but did not accept it with faith.[a] 3 We who have believed are able to enter and have God’s rest. As God has said,
“So I was angry and made a promise.
‘They will never enter my land of rest.’” Psalm 95:11
But God’s work was finished from the time he made the world. 4 Somewhere in the Scriptures he talked about the seventh day of the week: “And on the seventh day God rested from all his work.”[b] 5 And again in the Scripture God said, “They will never enter my land of rest.”
6 It is still true that some people will enter and have God’s rest. But those who first heard the way to be saved did not enter. They did not enter because they did not obey. 7 So God planned another day, called “today.” He spoke about that day through David a long time later. It is the same Scripture used before:
“Today listen to what he says.
Do not be stubborn.” Psalm 95:7-8
8 We know that Joshua[c] did not lead the people into that rest. We know this because God spoke later about another day. 9 This shows that the seventh-day rest[d] for God’s people is still coming. 10 For anyone who enters and has God’s rest will rest from his work as God did. 11 So let us try as hard as we can to enter God’s rest. We must try hard so that no one will be lost by following the example of those who refused to obey.
12 God’s word is alive and working. It is sharper than a sword sharpened on both sides. It cuts all the way into us, where the soul and the spirit are joined. It cuts to the center of our joints and our bones. And God’s word judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts. 13 Nothing in all the world can be hidden from God. Everything is clear and lies open before him. And to him we must explain the way we have lived.
Jesus Is Our High Priest
14 We have a great high priest who has gone into heaven. He is Jesus the Son of God. So let us hold on to the faith we have. 15 For our high priest is able to understand our weaknesses. He was tempted in every way that we are, but he did not sin. 16 Let us, then, feel free to come before God’s throne. Here there is grace. And we can receive mercy and grace to help us when we need it.
