1 Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.
2 And, truly, the good news came to us, even as it did to them; but the hearing of the word did them no good, because they were not united in faith with the true hearers.
3 For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.
4 For in one place he has said of the seventh day, And God had rest from all his works on the seventh day;
5 And in the same place he says again, They will not come into my rest.
6 So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,
7 After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have said anything about another day.
9 So that there is still a Sabbath-keeping for the people of God.
10 For the man who comes into his rest has had rest from his works, as God did from his.
11 Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.
12 For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.
13 And there is nothing made which is not completely clear to him; there is nothing covered, but all things are open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.
15 For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.
16 Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.
1 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， 好像 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 神的道是活的， 是有效的， 比一切两刃的剑更锋利， 甚至可以刺入剖开灵与魂， 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。
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。
