Hebrews 3 – NIV & CCBT

New International Version

Hebrews 3:1-19

Jesus Greater Than Moses

1Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. 2He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. 3Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 5“Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,”3:5 Num. 12:7 bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. 6But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.

Warning Against Unbelief

7So, as the Holy Spirit says:

“Today, if you hear his voice,

8do not harden your hearts

as you did in the rebellion,

during the time of testing in the wilderness,

9where your ancestors tested and tried me,

though for forty years they saw what I did.

10That is why I was angry with that generation;

I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,

and they have not known my ways.’

11So I declared on oath in my anger,

‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”3:11 Psalm 95:7-11

12See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 14We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. 15As has just been said:

“Today, if you hear his voice,

do not harden your hearts

as you did in the rebellion.”3:15 Psalm 95:7,8

16Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness? 18And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? 19So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

希伯來書 3:1-19

耶穌超越摩西

1因此,同蒙天召的聖潔的弟兄姊妹,你們應當仔細思想那位我們公認為特使和大祭司的耶穌。 2祂向委任祂的上帝盡忠,就好像摩西向上帝的全家盡忠一樣。 3然而祂卻比摩西配得更大的榮耀,因為建造房子的人當然比房子更尊貴。 4所有的房子都有建造者,但建造萬物的是上帝。 5摩西以僕人的身分向上帝的全家盡忠,為將來要宣告的事做見證。 6但基督是以兒子的身分忠心治理上帝的家。我們若堅強勇敢,持定引以為榮的盼望,我們就是祂的家了。

不可存剛硬的心

7因此,正如聖靈說:

「你們今天若聽見祂的聲音,

8不可心裡頑固,

像從前在曠野試探祂、悖逆祂一樣。

9當時,你們的祖先試我、探我,

觀看我的作為達四十年之久。

10所以,我向那世代的人發怒,

說,『他們總是執迷不悟,

不認識我的道路。』

11我就在憤怒中起誓說,

『他們絕不可進入我的安息。』」

12弟兄姊妹,要謹慎,免得你們當中有人心存惡念,不肯相信,背棄了永活的上帝。 13趁著還有今日,要天天互相勸勉,免得有人被罪迷惑,心裡變得剛硬。 14如果我們將起初的信念堅持到底,便在基督裡有份了。

15聖經上說:

「你們今日若聽見祂的聲音,

不可像從前那樣硬著心悖逆祂。」

16聽見祂的聲音卻又悖逆祂的是誰呢?不就是摩西埃及領出來的那些人嗎? 17四十年之久惹上帝發怒的是誰呢?不就是那些犯罪作惡並倒斃在曠野的人嗎? 18上帝起誓不准誰進入祂的安息呢?不就是那些不肯信從的人嗎? 19可見,他們不能進入上帝的安息是因為不信的緣故。
