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。
Hebrews 4
Tree of Life Version
Make Every Effort to Enter God’s Rest
4 Let us fear then! Though a promise of entering His rest is left open, some of you would seem to have fallen short. 2 For we also have had Good News proclaimed to us, just as they did. But the word they heard did not help them, because they were not unified with those who listened in faith. 3 For we who have trusted are entering into that rest. It is just as God has said,
“So in My wrath I swore,
‘They shall never enter My rest,’”[a]
even though His works were finished since the foundation of the world. 4 For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works,” [b] 5 and again in this passage:
“They shall never enter My rest.”[c]
6 So then it remains for some to enter into it; yet those who formerly had Good News proclaimed to them did not enter because of disobedience. 7 Again, God appoints a certain day—“Today”—saying through David after so long a time, just as it has been said before,
“Today, if you hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts.”[d]
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So there remains a Shabbat rest for the people of God. 10 For the one who has entered God’s rest has also ceased from his own work, just as God did from His.
11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall through the same pattern of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword—piercing right through to a separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 No creature is hidden from Him, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.[e]
Yeshua, Our Compassionate Kohen Gadol
14 Therefore, since we have a great Kohen Gadol who has passed through the heavens, Yeshua Ben-Elohim, let us hold firmly to our confessed allegiance. 15 For we do not have a kohen gadol who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all the same ways—yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us draw near to the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help in time of need.
