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
New English Translation
God’s Promised Rest
4 Therefore we must be wary[a] that, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it. 2 For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in[b] with those who heard it in faith.[c] 3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’”[d] And yet God’s works[e] were accomplished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,”[f] 5 but to repeat the text cited earlier:[g] “They will never enter my rest!” 6 Therefore it remains for some to enter it, yet those to whom it was previously proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience. 7 So God[h] again ordains a certain day, “Today,” speaking through David[i] after so long a time, as in the words quoted before,[j] “Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks![k] Do not harden your hearts.” 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God[l] would not have spoken afterward about another day. 9 Consequently a Sabbath rest remains for the people of God. 10 For the one who enters God’s[m] rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works. 11 Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from God,[n] but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.
Jesus Our Compassionate High Priest
14 Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help.[o]

- Hebrews 4:2 tc A few mss (א and a few versional witnesses) have the nominative singular participle συγκεκερασμένος (sunkekerasmenos, “since it [the message] was not combined with faith by those who heard it”), a reading that refers back to the ὁ λόγος (ho logos, “the message”). There are a few other variants here (e.g., συγκεκεραμμένοι [sunkekerammenoi] in 104, συγκεκεραμένους [sunkekeramenous] in 1881 M), but the accusative plural participle συγκεκερασμένους (sunkekerasmenous), found in P13vid,46 A B C D* Ψ 0243 0278 33 81 1739 2464, has by far the best external credentials. This participle agrees with the previous ἐκείνους (ekeinous, “those”), a more difficult construction grammatically than the nominative singular. Thus, both on external and internal grounds, συγκεκερασμένους is preferred.

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.
