1 因此， 同蒙天召的圣洁的弟兄啊！ 你们应该想想耶稣， 就是作使徒、作我们所宣认的大祭司的那一位。
2 他忠于那位委派他的， 好像摩西在 神的全家尽忠一样。
3 他比摩西配得更大的荣耀， 好像建造房屋的人比房屋配得更大的尊贵一样。
4 因为每一间房屋都是人建造的， 只有万物是 神建造的。
5 摩西不过是个仆人， 在 神的全家尽忠， 为以后要传讲的事作证；
6 但是基督却是儿子， 管理自己的家。如果我们把坦然无惧的心和可夸的盼望持守到底， 我们就是他的家了。
7 所以， 就像圣灵所说的： "如果你们今天听从他的声音，
8 就不要硬着心， 好像在旷野惹他发怒、试探他的日子一样；
9 在那里， 你们的祖先以试验来试探我， 观看我的作为有四十年之久。
10 所以， 我向那个世代的人发怒， 说： ‘他们心里常常迷误， 不认识我的道路。’
11 我就在烈怒中起誓， 说： ‘他们绝不可进入我的安息。’"
12 弟兄们， 你们要小心， 免得你们中间有人存着邪恶、不信的心， 以致离弃了永活的 神；
13 趁着还有叫作"今天"的时候， 总要天天互相劝勉， 免得你们中间有人受了罪恶的诱惑， 心里就刚硬了。
14 如果我们把起初的信念坚持到底， 就是有分于基督的人了。
15 经上说： "如果你们今天听从他的声音， 就不要硬着心， 像惹他发怒的时候一样。"
16 那时， 听了他的话而惹他发怒的是谁呢？不就是摩西从埃及领出来的那些人吗？
17 四十年之久， 神向谁发怒呢？不就是向那些犯了罪陈尸旷野的人吗？
18 他又向谁起誓说， 他们绝对不可以进入他的安息呢？不就是向那些不顺从的人吗？
19 这样看来， 他们不能进入安息， 是因为不信的缘故。
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, even Jesus; 2 who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house. 3 For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house. 4 For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God. 5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken; 6 but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end. 7 Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith,
To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,
Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tried me by proving me,
And saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was displeased with this generation,
And said, They do always err in their heart:
But they did not know my ways;
11 As I sware in my wrath,
They shall not enter into my rest.
12 Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: 13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin: 14 for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end: 15 while it is said,
To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses? 17 And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient? 19 And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
