希伯來書 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
信的人得享安息
4 因此，上帝既然仍舊應許讓人進入祂的安息，我們就該戰戰兢兢，免得有人失去這福分。 2 因為我們和他們一樣聽到了福音，只是他們聽了道後沒有憑信心領受，結果沒有得到益處。 3 正如上帝曾說：
「我在憤怒中起誓說，
『他們絕不可進入我的安息。』」
但我們這些已經信的人能夠進入祂的安息。其實造物之工自創世以來就已經完成了， 4 因為聖經論到第七日時說：「第七日，上帝歇了一切的工。」 5 又說：「他們絕不可進入我的安息。」 6 既然最終會有人進入安息，而那些從前聽過福音的人因為不信沒能進去， 7 上帝就另定了一個日子，稱之為「今日」。正如多年後，祂藉著大衛說：
「你們今日若聽見祂的聲音，
不可心裡頑固。」
8 如果當初約書亞已經讓他們得到了安息，上帝就不必另定一個日子了。 9 這樣說來，必定另有一個安息日為上帝的子民存留，使他們可以真正安歇。 10 因為人進入上帝的安息，就是歇了自己的工作，好像上帝歇了祂的工作一樣。 11 因此，我們要竭力進入那安息，免得重蹈他們的覆轍，因不順服而倒斃。
12 上帝的話有生命、有功效，鋒利無比，勝過一切兩刃的利劍，甚至能夠剌入並分開魂與靈、關節與骨髓，辨明人一切的思想和動機。 13 受造物在上帝面前都無法隱藏，因為萬物都是赤裸裸地暴露在上帝眼前，我們必須向祂交帳。
大祭司耶穌
14 我們既然有一位已經升上高天的尊貴大祭司——上帝的兒子耶穌，就應當持守我們所認定的信仰。 15 因為我們這位大祭司並非不能體恤我們的軟弱，祂與我們一樣曾經面對各樣的試探，卻從來沒有犯罪。 16 所以，讓我們坦然無懼地到祂賜恩的寶座前，好領受憐憫和恩典，作隨時的幫助。
Hebrews 4
New Living Translation
Promised Rest for God’s People
4 God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. 2 For this good news—that God has prepared this rest—has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God.[a] 3 For only we who believe can enter his rest. As for the others, God said,
“In my anger I took an oath:
‘They will never enter my place of rest,’”[b]
even though this rest has been ready since he made the world. 4 We know it is ready because of the place in the Scriptures where it mentions the seventh day: “On the seventh day God rested from all his work.”[c] 5 But in the other passage God said, “They will never enter my place of rest.”[d]
6 So God’s rest is there for people to enter, but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God. 7 So God set another time for entering his rest, and that time is today. God announced this through David much later in the words already quoted:
“Today when you hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts.”[e]
8 Now if Joshua had succeeded in giving them this rest, God would not have spoken about another day of rest still to come. 9 So there is a special rest[f] still waiting for the people of God. 10 For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. 11 So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.
12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.
Christ Is Our High Priest
14 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. 15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. 16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
