Hebrews 4

1 Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it.

1 我们既蒙留下，有进入他安息的应许，就当畏惧，免得我们 中间或有人似乎是赶不上了。

2 For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.

2 因为有福音传给我们，像传给他们一样；只是所听见的道与他们无益，因为他们没有信心与所听见的道调和。

3 Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.

3 但我们已经相信的人得以进入那安息，正如 神所说：「我在怒中起誓说：『他们断不可进入我的安息！』」其实造物之工，从创世以来已经成全了。

4 For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”

4 论到第七日，有一处说：「到第七日， 神就歇了他一切的工。」

5 And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”

5 又有一处说：「他们断不可进入我的安息！」

6 Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience,

6 既有必进安息的人，那先前听见福音的，因为不信从，不得进去。

7 God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

7 所以过了多年，就在大卫的书上，又限定一日，如以上所引的说：「你们今日若听他的话，就不可硬着心。」

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.

8 若是约书亚已叫他们享了安息，后来 神就不再提别的日子了。

9 There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

9 这样看来，必另有一安息日的安息为 神的子民存留。

10 For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.

10 因为那进入安息的，乃是歇了自己的工，正如 神歇了他的工一样。

11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.

11 所以，我们务必竭力进入那安息，免得有人学那不信从的样子跌倒了。

12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

12 神的道是活泼的，是有功效的，比一切两刃的剑更快，甚至魂与灵，骨节与骨髓，都能刺入、剖开，连心中的思念和主意都能辨明。

13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

13 并且被造的没有一样在他面前不显然的；原来万物在那与我们有关系的主眼前，都是赤露敞开的。

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.

14 我们既然有一位已经升入高天尊荣的大祭司，就是 神的儿子耶稣，便当持定所承认的道。

15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.

15 因我们的大祭司并非不能体恤我们的软弱。他也曾凡事受过试探，与我们一样，只是他没有犯罪。

16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

16 所以，我们只管坦然无惧地来到施恩的宝座前，为要得怜恤，蒙恩惠，作随时的帮助。
