希伯来书 4
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
竭力进入安息
4 所以,既然那进入神[a]安息的应许还存留,我们就该惧怕,免得我们[b]当中有人看来达不到了。 2 实际上,我们也是得以听到福音的,就像他们那样;但是他们所听的话语对他们没有益处,因为他们没有因着信,与所听的相配合。 3 其实,我们这些相信的才能进入那安息,正如神所说:
“所以我在自己的震怒中起誓:
‘他们绝不能进入我的安息。’”[c]
事实上,神的工作从创世以来,就已经完成了。 4 原来关于第七日,他在经上某处这样说:
“神在第七日,
歇了他所有的工作。”[d]
5 在这里他又说:“他们绝不能进入我的安息。”[e] 6 所以,既然这安息为了一些进入它的人被保留下来,可是由于那些原先得以听到福音的人,因着不信从而没有进去, 7 神就再次设定了一个日子——“今天”,就是在很久以后藉着大卫所说的,像预先说过[f]的那样:
“今天,你们如果听见他的声音,
就不可硬着你们的心。”[g]
8 如果约书亚已经使他们得了安息,神后来就不会再说到另一个日子了。 9 这样,就有一个“安息日的安息”为了神的子民被保留下来。 10 原来,那进了神[h]安息的人,也歇了自己的工作,就像神歇了自己的工作那样。 11 所以,我们要努力进入那安息,免得有人照着那同样不信从的样式跌落了。
12 神的话语[i]是有生命的,是有功效的;比任何双刃的剑更锋利,能刺透到魂和灵的分界,以及骨节和骨髓的分界,也能辨明心中的思想和意念; 13 并且被造之物在神面前,没有一样不是显明的;万有在他眼前,都是赤裸敞开的;我们都要向他交代。
我们的大祭司
14 所以,我们既然有一位已经越过了诸天的、尊贵的大祭司——神的儿子耶稣,我们就要持守信仰[j]告白; 15 因为我们的大祭司不是不能同情我们的种种软弱,而是在各方面照着与我们相同的样式受过试探,只是没有犯罪。 16 因此,让我们坦然无惧地来到恩典的宝座前,为要得着怜悯,寻见恩典,做为及时的帮助。
Hebreeën 4
Het Boek
Rust voor Gods kinderen
4 Hoewel Gods belofte nog altijd geldt, de belofte dat God ons allen in zijn rust op zal nemen, moeten wij ervoor zorgen dat niet sommigen de indruk zouden wekken er geen deel aan te hebben. 2 Want dit goede nieuws heeft ons net zo bereikt als de mensen in de tijd van Mozes. Maar zij hebben er niets aan gehad, omdat zij het niet geloofden. 3 Want alleen als wij God geloven, kunnen wij deel krijgen aan zijn rust. Hij heeft immers gezegd: ‘In mijn toorn heb Ik gezworen dat zij geen rust bij Mij zouden vinden.’ Toch ligt Gods plan om hun die rust te geven, al klaar vanaf het begin van de wereld. 4 Dat weten wij omdat er in de Boeken staat dat God op de zevende dag uitrustte. Alles wat Hij wilde maken, was klaar. 5 Toch kwamen de Israëlieten er niet, want God zei ten slotte: ‘Zij zullen bij Mij geen rust vinden.’ 6 Maar de belofte is niet ingetrokken. Daarom komen sommigen er wel, al zijn dat niet de mensen die het eerst de kans kregen, want die waren God ongehoorzaam. 7 Maar God heeft de mensen een nieuwe kans gegeven om deel te krijgen aan zijn rust en die kans is er nú! Hij heeft dat door de mond van David al aangekondigd met de eerder genoemde woorden: ‘Luister nú naar wat Hij u zegt en sluit uw hart niet af voor Hem.’
8 Jozua heeft het volk niet in deze rust gebracht. Als dat zo was, zou God niet veel later hebben gezegd dat het ‘nu’ de tijd is om deel te krijgen aan die rust. 9 Er wacht het volk van God dus nog altijd een zuivere, volkomen rust. 10 Wie door geloof die rust ervaart, rust uit van zijn eigen werk, net als God. 11 Laten wij ons best doen deel te krijgen aan die rust. Daarom moeten wij ervoor oppassen God niet ongehoorzaam te zijn zoals het volk Israël, dat daardoor die rust niet kreeg.
12 Want het woord van God is levend en vol van kracht. Het is scherper dan een tweesnijdend zwaard, het dringt zo diep door dat het alles in ons van elkaar lossnijdt, zelfs onze diepste gedachten en verlangens. Daardoor wordt duidelijk wie wij werkelijk zijn. 13 God weet alles over iedereen. Alles in en om ons ligt open en bloot voor zijn ogen, niets kan verborgen blijven voor Hem aan wie wij verantwoording moeten afleggen voor alles wat wij hebben gedaan.
14 Dit betekent dat Jezus, de Zoon van God, onze grote hogepriester is, die naar de hemel is gegaan om ons te helpen. Daarom moeten wij geen ogenblik aan Hem twijfelen. 15 Deze hogepriester begrijpt onze zwakheden, omdat Hij dezelfde verleidingen heeft gekend als wij, maar Hij heeft er geen ogenblik aan toegegeven, Hij heeft nooit gezondigd. 16 Laten wij daarom vrijmoedig naar de troon van God gaan om van Hem genade te ontvangen, om hulp te krijgen, juist in die ogenblikken dat wij het moeilijk hebben.
Yehudim in Moshiach 4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 Therefore, let us walk in yir’at Shomayim, for fear that, while the havtachah (promise) of entering the menuchah of Hashem is still open, anyone of you should seem to have fallen short of it.
2 For indeed we have had Besuras HaGeulah preached to us, just as they did also; but the Dvar Hashem preached did not make that generation benefit, because hearing did not form an agudah with emunah [faith].
3 For we ma’aminim [in Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach] enter into that menuchah, just as Hashem has said, "ASHER NISHBA’TI V’API IM YEVO’UN EL MENUCHATI" ("As I vowed in My fury, they shall never enter into My rest" TEHILLIM 95:11), although the ma’asim (works) of Hashem were finished from the hivvased tevel (foundation of the world).
4 For concerning Shabbos, the Yom HaShevi’i, Hashem has said somewhere, "VAYISHBOT Elohim BAYOM HASHEVI’I MIKOL MELAKHTO" ("And He rested on the seventh day from all His work." [BERESHIS 2:2]
5 And again in this mekor (passage, citation), "IM YEVO’UN EL MENUCHATI" ("Never shall they enter into My rest" TEHILLIM 95:11).
6 Therefore, als (since) it remains for some to enter it, and the ones, who formerly had the Besuras HaGeulah preached to them, did not enter, because they were koferim (unbelievers),
7 So then again Hashem sets a certain day, "HAYOM" ("Today," TEHILLIM 95:7) in one of the Tehillim of Dovid [HaMelech], much later, in that quoted above, "HAYOM IM BEKOLO TISHMAU AL TAKSHU LEVAVCHEM" ("Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your heart"‖TEHILLIM 95:7).
8 For if Yehoshua [ben Nun] had brought them to a place of menuchah (rest), Hashem would not have spoken of another "Yom" after that [TEHILLIM 95:7].
9 Therefore, there remains a Shabbos menuchah for the Am Hashem.
10 For whoever has entered into the menuchah of Hashem has also rested from [depending on the zchus (merit) of] his ma’asim, just as Hashem rested from his.
11 Therefore, let us have zerizut (diligence) to enter into that menuchah, for fear that anyone fall through following be’ikvot (in the footsteps) of their same lack of mishma’at (obedience) [cf 3:17-18; 4:6].
12 For the Dvar Hashem is chai (living) and chazak (strong), sharper than every doubled-edged cherev and penetrating as far as the division of nefesh and ruach, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the machshavot and deliberations of the kavanat halev (the inner directedness of the heart).
13 And there is not nivra (anything created) nistar (hidden) from His sight, but all things are laid bare and exposed to the eynayim (eyes) of Him to whom we must render an account.
14 Therefore, als (since) we have a great Kohen Gadol who has made his passing through Shomayim, [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] Yehoshua HaBen HaElohim, let us hold firmly to the hoda’ah (confession) of the hachrazah (proclamation) of our [Orthodox Jewish] Emunah.
15 For we do not have a Kohen Gadol who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without chet.
16 Therefore, let us approach with bitachon the Kisse of Chesed, that we may receive rachamim and may find chesed for timely ezrah (aid).
Hebrews 4
New International Version
A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God
4 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.(A) 2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.[a](B) 3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,
And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. 4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”[c](D) 5 And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”(E)
6 Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience,(F) 7 God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:
8 For if Joshua had given them rest,(H) God would not have spoken(I) later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works,[e](J) just as God did from his.(K) 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.(L)
12 For the word of God(M) is alive(N) and active.(O) Sharper than any double-edged sword,(P) it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.(Q) 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.(R) Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Jesus the Great High Priest
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest(S) who has ascended into heaven,[f](T) Jesus the Son of God,(U) let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.(V) 15 For we do not have a high priest(W) who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are(X)—yet he did not sin.(Y) 16 Let us then approach(Z) God’s throne of grace with confidence,(AA) so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
