第 1 章
1 上帝既在古时藉着众先知多次多方的晓谕列祖，
上帝在古时候，曾经多次用种种方法，借着先知向我们的祖先说话；
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 就在这末世藉着他儿子晓谕我们；又早已立他为承受万有的，也曾藉着他创造诸世界。
在这末后的日子，却借着他的儿子向我们说话。上帝已经立他作万有的承受者，并且借着他创造了宇宙。〔「宇宙」可译作「诸世界」或「众世代」与十一章三节同。〕
but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
3 他是上帝荣耀所发的光辉，是上帝本体的真像，常用他权能的命令托住万有。他洗净了人的罪，就坐在高天至大者的右边。
他是上帝荣耀的光辉，是上帝本质的真象，用自己带有能力的话掌管万有；他作成了洁净罪恶的事，就坐在高天至尊者的右边。
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 他所承受的名，既比天使的名更尊贵，就远超过天使。 他所承受的名比天使的名更尊贵，所以他远比天使崇高。
So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
5 所有的天使，上帝从来对哪一个说，你是我的儿子，我今日生你？又指着哪一个说：我要作他的父，他要作我的子？ 上帝曾对那一个天使说过：「你是我的儿子，我今日生了你」呢？或者说：「我要作他的父亲，他要作我的儿子」呢？ For to which of the angels did God ever say, \Father, and he will be my Son\ 6 再者，上帝使长子到世上来的时候（或作：上帝再使长子到世上来的时候），就说：上帝的使者都要拜他。 上帝差遣长子到世上来的时候，又说：「上帝所有的天使都要拜他。」 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, \ 7 论到使者，又说：上帝以风为使者，以火焰为仆役；
论到天使，说：「上帝用风作他的使者，用火焰作他的仆役。」
In speaking of the angels he says, \ 8 论到子却说：上帝啊，你的宝座是永永远远的；你的国权是正直的。 但是论到儿子，却说：「上帝啊！你的宝座是永永远远的，你国的权杖，是公平的权杖。
But about the Son he says, \kingdom.
9 你喜爱公义，恨恶罪恶；所以上帝，就是你的上帝，用喜乐油膏你，胜过膏你的同伴；
你喜爱公义，恨恶不法，所以，上帝，就是你的上帝，用喜乐的油膏抹你，胜过膏抹你的同伴。」
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.\
10 又说：主啊，你起初立了地的根基；天也是你手所造的。 又说：「主啊！你起初立了地的根基，天也是你手的工作。
He also says, \ 11 天地都要灭没，你却要长存。天地都要象衣服渐渐旧了； 天地都要毁灭，你却长存；天地都要像衣服一样渐渐残旧，
They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
12 你要将天地卷起来，象一件外衣，天地就都改变了。惟有你永不改变；你的年数没有穷尽。
你要把天地像外套一样卷起来，天地就像衣服一样被更换；只有你永不改变，你的年数也没有穷尽。」
You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.\
13 所有的天使，上帝从来对哪一个说：你坐在我的右边，等我使你仇敌作你的脚凳？ 上帝可曾向那一个天使说：「你坐在我的右边，等我使你的仇敌作你的脚凳」呢？
To which of the angels did God ever say, \ 14 天使岂不都是服役的灵、奉差遣为那将要承受救恩的人效力吗？ 天使不都是服役的灵，奉差遣为那些要承受救恩的人效劳么？
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
第 2 章
1 所以，我们当越发郑重所听见的道理，恐怕我们随流失去。
因此，我们必须更加密切注意所听过的道理，免得我们随流失去。
We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
2 那藉着天使所传的话既是确定的；凡干犯悖逆的都受了该受的报应。
那透过天使所传讲的信息既然是确定的，所有干犯和不听从的，都受了应得的报应。
For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, 3 我们若忽略这么大的救恩，怎能逃罪呢？这救恩起先是主亲自讲的，后来是听见的人给我们证实了。
如果我们忽略了这么大的救恩，怎么能逃罪呢？这救恩起初是由主亲自宣讲的，后来听见的人给我们证实了。 how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.
4 上帝又按自己的旨意，用神迹、奇事和百般的异能，并圣灵的恩赐，同他们作见证。
上帝又照着自己的旨意，用神迹、奇事和各样异能，以及圣灵的恩赐，与他们一同作见证。
God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. 5 我们所说将来的世界，上帝原没有交给天使管辖。 上帝并没有把我们所说的「将来的世界」，交给天使管辖； It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6 但有人在经上某处证明说：人算什么，你竟顾念他？世人算什么，你竟眷顾他？ 但是有人在圣经上某一处证实说：「人算甚么，你竟记念他？世人算甚么，你竟眷顾他？ But there is a place where someone has testified: \
for him? 7 你叫他比天使微小一点（或作：你叫他暂时比天使小），赐他荣耀尊贵为冠冕，并将你手所造的都派他管理，
你使他比天使稍低微一点，却赐给他荣耀尊贵作冠冕，〔有些古卷在此有「并立他统管你手所造的一切」一句。〕 You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor
8 叫万物都服在他的脚下。既叫万物都服他，就没有剩下一样不服他的。只是如今我们还不见万物都服他。 使万物都服在他的脚下。」既然万有都服了他，就没有剩下一样不服他的了。但是现在我们还没有看见万有都服他。 and put everything under his feet.\In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.
9 惟独见那成为比天使小一点的耶稣（或作：惟独见耶稣暂时比天使小）；因为受死的苦，就得了尊贵荣耀为冠冕，叫他因着上帝的恩，为人人尝了死味。
不过，我们看见那位暂时成了比天使卑微的耶稣，因为受了死的痛苦，就得了荣耀尊贵作冠冕，好叫他因着上帝的恩典，为万人尝了死味。
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
10 原来那为万物所属为万物所本的，要领许多的儿子进荣耀里去，使救他们的元帅，因受苦难得以完全，本是合宜的。 万有因他而有、藉他而造的那位，为了要带领许多儿子进入荣耀里去，使救他们的元首借着受苦而得到成全，本是合适的。
In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.
11 因那使人成圣的和那些得以成圣的，都是出于一。所以，他称他们为弟兄也不以为耻，
因为那位使人成圣的，和那些得到成圣的，同是出于一个源头；所以他称他们为弟兄也不以为耻。
Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.
12 说：我要将你的名传与我的弟兄，在会中我要颂扬你； 他说：「我要向我的弟兄宣扬你的名，我要在聚会中歌颂你。」
He says, \
13 又说：我要倚赖他；又说：看哪，我与上帝所给我的儿女。 又说：「我要信靠他。」又说：「看哪，我和上帝所赐给我的孩子们。」
And again, \ 14 儿女既同有血肉之体，他也照样亲自成了血肉之体，特要藉着死败坏那掌死权的，就是魔鬼， 孩子们既然同有血肉之体，他自己也照样成为血肉之体，为要借着死，消灭那掌握死权的魔鬼，
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil--
15 并要释放那些一生因怕死而为奴仆的人。 并且要释放那些因为怕死而终身作奴仆的人。
and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16 他并不救拔天使，乃是救拔亚伯拉罕的后裔。
其实，他并没有救援天使，只救援亚伯拉罕的后裔。
For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants.
17 所以，他凡事该与他的弟兄相同，为要在上帝的事上成为慈悲忠信的大祭司，为百姓的罪献上挽回祭。 所以，他必须在各方面和他的弟兄们相同，为了要在上帝的事上，成为仁慈忠信的大祭司，好为人民赎罪。
For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.
18 他自己既然被试探而受苦，就能搭救被试探的人。
因为他自己既然经过试探，受了苦，就能够帮助那些被试探的人。
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
第 3 章
1 同蒙天召的圣洁弟兄啊，你们应当思想我们所认为使者、为大祭司的耶稣。
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。
Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
2 他为那设立他的尽忠，如同摩西在上帝的全家尽忠一样。 他忠于那位委派他的，好像摩西在上帝的全家尽忠一样。
He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house. 3 他比摩西算是更配多得荣耀，好象建造房屋的比房屋更尊荣；
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。
Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
4 因为房屋都必有人建造，但建造万物的就是上帝。
因为每一间房屋都是人建造的，只有万物是上帝建造的。
For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 5 摩西为仆人，在上帝的全家诚然尽忠，为要证明将来必传说的事。 摩西不过是个仆人，在上帝的全家尽忠，为以后要传讲的事作证；
Moses was faithful as a servant in all God's house, testifying to what would be said in the future. 6 但基督为儿子，治理上帝的家；我们若将可夸的盼望和胆量坚持到底，便是他的家了。
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。
But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.
7 圣灵有话说：你们今日若听他的话， 所以，就像圣灵所说的：「如果你们今天听从他的声音，
So, as the Holy Spirit says: \
8 就不可硬着心，象在旷野惹他发怒、试探他的时候一样。 就不要硬着心，好像在旷野惹他发怒、试探他的日子一样；
do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert,
9 在那里，你们的祖宗试我探我，并且观看我的作为有四十年之久。 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。 where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did.
10 所以，我厌烦那世代的人，说：他们心里常常迷糊，竟不晓得我的作为！ 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。』
That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, `Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.'
11 我就在怒中起誓说；他们断不可进入我的安息。 我就在烈怒中起誓，说：『他们绝不可进入我的安息。』」
So I declared on oath in my anger, `They shall never enter my rest.'\
12 弟兄们，你们要谨慎，免得你们中间或有人存着不信的恶心，把永生上帝离弃了。
弟兄们，你们要小心，免得你们中间有人存着邪恶、不信的心，以致离弃了永活的上帝；
See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
13 总要趁着还有今日，天天彼此相劝，免得你们中间有人被罪迷惑，心里就刚硬了。
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。
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. 14 我们若将起初确实的信心坚持到底，就在基督里有分了。 如果我们把起初的信念坚持到底，就是有份于基督的人了。
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. 15 经上说：“你们今日若听他的话，就不可硬着心，象惹他发怒的日子一样。” 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。」
As has just been said: \ 16 那时，听见他话惹他发怒的是谁呢？岂不是跟着摩西从埃及出来的众人吗？ 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么？ Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17 上帝四十年之久，又厌烦谁呢？岂不是那些犯罪、尸首倒在旷野的人吗？ 四十年之久，上帝向谁发怒呢？不就是向那些犯了罪陈尸旷野的人么？
And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert? 18 又向谁起誓，不容他们进入他的安息呢；岂不是向那些不信从的人吗？
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么？
And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed ?
19 这样看来，他们不能进入安息是因为不信的缘故了。 这样看来，他们不能进入安息，是因为不信的缘故。
So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
第 4 章
1 我们既蒙留下，有进入他安息的应许，就当畏惧，免得我们（原文作你们）中间或有人似乎是赶不上了。 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。
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.
2 因为有福音传给我们，象传给他们一样；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。 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。」〕
For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. 3 但我们已经相信的人得以进入那安息，正如上帝所说：“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。
然而我们信了的人，就可以进入那安息。正如上帝所说：「我在烈怒中起誓说，他们绝不可进入我的安息！」其实上帝的工作，从创立世界以来已经完成了。
Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, \my rest.'\ 4 论到第七日，有一处说，“到第七日上帝就歇了他一切的工。” 因为论到第七日，他在圣经某一处说：「在第七日上帝歇了他的一切工作。」
For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: \on the seventh day God rested from all his work.\
5 又有一处说：“他们断不可进入我的安息！” 但在这里又说：「他们绝不可进入我的安息。」
And again in the passage above he says, \
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。
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；
It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience.
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。” 所以上帝就再定一个日子，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。」
Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before: \
8 若是约书亚已叫他们享了安息，后来上帝就不再提别的日子了。
如果约书亚已经使他们享受了安息，上帝后来就不会再提到别的日子了。
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 这样看来，必另有一安息日的安息为上帝的子民存留。
这样看来，为了上帝的子民，必定另外有一个「安息日」的安息保留下来。 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;
10 因为那进入安息的，乃是歇了自己的工，正如上帝歇了他的工一样。
因为那进入上帝安息的人，就歇了自己的工作，好像上帝歇了自己的工作一样。 for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. 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。 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。
Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience. 12 上帝的道是活泼的，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。
上帝的道是活的，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。
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
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。 被造的在上帝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。
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
14 我们既然有一位已经升入高天尊荣的大祭司，就是上帝的儿子耶稣，便当持定所承认的道。
我们既然有一位伟大的、经过了众天的大祭司，就是上帝的儿子耶稣，就应该坚持所宣认的信仰。
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to
the faith we profess.
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。
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，
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin.
16 所以，我们只管坦然无惧的来到施恩的宝座前，为要得怜恤，蒙恩惠，作随时的帮助。
所以，我们只管坦然无惧的来到施恩的宝座前，为的是要领受怜悯，得到恩惠，作为及时的帮助。
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.
第 5 章
1 凡从人间挑选的大祭司，是奉派替人办理属上帝的事，为要献上礼物和赎罪祭（或作：要为罪献上礼物和祭物）。 每一个大祭司都是从人间选出来，奉派替人办理与上帝有关的事，为的是要献上礼物和赎罪的祭物。
Every high priest is selected from among men and is appointed to represent them in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 他能体谅那愚蒙的和失迷的人，因为他自己也是被软弱所困。
他能够温和地对待那些无知和迷误的人，因为他自己也被软弱所困。
He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness. 3 故此，他理当为百姓和自己献祭赎罪。
因此，他怎样为人民的罪献祭，也应该怎样为自己的罪献祭。
This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people. 4 这大祭司的尊荣，没有人自取。惟要蒙上帝所召，象亚伦一样。
没有人可以自己取得这大祭司的尊荣，只有像亚伦一样，蒙上帝选召的才可以。 No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 如此，基督也不是自取荣耀作大祭司，乃是在乎向他说“你是我的儿子，我今日生你”的那一位；
照样，基督也没有自己争取作大祭司的尊荣，而是曾经对他说「你是我的儿子，我今日生了你」的上帝荣耀了他； So Christ also did not take upon himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, \have become your Father. \ 6 就如经上又有一处说：“你是照着麦基洗德的等次永远为祭司。” 就像他在另一处说：「你是照着麦基洗德的体系，永远作祭司的。」
And he says in another place, \
7 基督在肉体的时候，既大声哀哭，流泪祷告，恳求那能救他免死的主，就因他的虔诚蒙了应允。
基督在世的时候，曾经流泪大声祷告恳求那位能救他脱离死亡的上帝；因着他的敬虔，就蒙了应允。
During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. 8 他虽然为儿子，还是因所受的苦难学了顺从。
他虽然是儿子，还是因着所受的苦难学会了顺从。
Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered 9 他既得以完全，就为凡顺从他的人成了永远得救的根源、
他既然顺从到底，就成了所有顺从他的人得到永远救恩的根源；
and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 并蒙上帝照着麦基洗德的等次称他为大祭司。 而且蒙上帝照着麦基洗德的体系，称他为大祭司。
and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek. 11 论到麦基洗德，我们有好些话，并且难以解明，因为你们听不进去。
论到这些事，我们有很多话要说，可是很难解释；因为你们已经迟钝了，不能听进去。 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn.
12 看你们学习的工夫，本该作师傅，谁知还得有人将上帝圣言小学的开端另教导你们，并且成了那必须吃奶，不能吃
干粮的人。
到这个时候，你们应该已经作老师了；可是你们还需要有人再把上帝道理的初步教导你们。你们成了只能吃奶而不能吃干粮的人！
In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
13 凡只能吃奶的都不熟练仁义的道理，因为他是婴孩； 凡是吃奶的，还是个婴孩，对公义的道理没有经历；
Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 惟独长大成人的才能吃干粮；他们的心窍习练得通达，就能分辨好歹了。 只有长大成人的，才能吃干粮，他们的官能因为操练纯熟，就能分辨是非了。
But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
第 6 章
1 所以，我们应当离开基督道理的开端，竭力进到完全的地步，不必再立根基，就如那懊悔死行，信靠上帝、 所以，我们应当离开基督初步的道理，努力进到成熟的地步，不必在懊悔死行，信靠上帝，洗礼，按手礼，死人复活，和永远审判的教训上再立根基。
Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,
2 各样洗礼、按手之礼、死人复活，以及永远审判各等教训。
所以，我们应当离开基督初步的道理，努力进到成熟的地步，不必在懊悔死行，信靠上帝，洗礼，按手礼，死人复活，和永远审判的教训上再立根基。
instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 上帝若许我们，我们必如此行。 只要上帝允许，我们就这样作。 And God permitting, we will do so.
4 论到那些已经蒙了光照、尝过天恩的滋味、又于圣灵有分，
因为那些曾经蒙了光照，尝过属天的恩赐的滋味，与圣灵有分，
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
5 并尝过上帝善道的滋味、觉悟来世权能的人， 并且尝过上帝美善的道和来世的权能的人，
who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age,
6 若是离弃道理，就不能叫他们从新懊悔了。因为他们把上帝的儿子重钉十字架，明明的羞辱他。
如果偏离了正道，就不可能再使他们重新悔改了。因为他们亲自把上帝的儿子再钉在十字架上，公然羞辱他。 if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
7 就如一块田地，吃过屡次下的雨水，生长菜蔬，合乎耕种的人用，就从上帝得福；
这就像一块地，吸收了常常下在它上面的雨水，如果长出对种植的人有用的菜蔬，就从上帝那里得福。
Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.
8 若长荆棘和蒺藜，必被废弃，近于咒诅，结局就是焚烧。
但如果这块地长出荆棘和蒺藜来，就被废弃，近于咒诅，结局就是焚烧。
But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned. 9 亲爱的弟兄们，我们虽是这样说，却深信你们的行为强过这些，而且近乎得救。
不过，亲爱的弟兄们，我们虽然这样说，但对于你们，我们却深信你们有更好的表现，结局就是得救。
Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are confident of better things in your case--things that accompany salvation.
10 因为上帝并非不公义，竟忘记你们所做的工和你们为他名所显的爱心，就是先前伺候圣徒，如今还是伺候。
因为上帝并不是不公义，以致忘记了你们的工作，和你们为他的名所表现的爱心，就是你们以前服事圣徒，现在还是服事他们。
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
11 我们愿你们各人都显出这样的殷勤，使你们有满足的指望，一直到底。
我们深愿你们各人都表现同样的热诚，一直到底，使你们的盼望可以完全实现，
We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. 12 并且不懈怠，总要效法那些凭信心和忍耐承受应许的人。 并且不要懒惰，却要效法那些凭着信心和忍耐承受应许的人。
We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. 13 当初上帝应许亚伯拉罕的时候，因为没有比自己更大可以指着起誓的，就指着自己起誓，说： 上帝应许亚伯拉罕的时候，因为没有比自己更大的可以指着起誓，他就指着自己起誓，
When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, 14 “论福，我必赐大福给你；论子孙，我必叫你的子孙多起来。” 说：「我必定赐福给你，必定使你的后裔繁多。」
saying, \ 15 这样，亚伯拉罕既恒久忍耐，就得了所应许的。 这样，亚伯拉罕耐心等待，终于获得了所应许的。
And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.
16 人都是指着比自己大的起誓，并且以起誓为实据，了结各样的争论。
因为人起誓都是指着比自己大的起誓。这誓言就了结了他们中间一切的纠纷，作为保证。
Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. 17 照样，上帝愿意为那承受应许的人格外显明他的旨意是不更改的，就起誓为证。
照样，上帝定意向那些承受应许的人，更清楚的表明他的旨意是不更改的，就用起誓作保证。
Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath.
18 藉这两件不更改的事，上帝决不能说谎，好叫我们这逃往避难所、持定摆在我们前头指望的人可以大得勉励。 这两件事是不能更改的，因为上帝是决不说谎的。因此，我们这些逃进避难所的人，就大得安慰，抓紧那摆在我们面前的盼望。
God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged.
19 我们有这指望，如同灵魂的锚，又坚固又牢靠，且通入幔内。
我们有这盼望，就像灵魂的锚，又稳当又坚固，通过幔子直进到里面。
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 作先锋的耶稣，既照着麦基洗德的等次成了永远的大祭司，就为我们进入幔内。
耶稣已经为我们作先锋进入了幔子里面；他是照着麦基洗德的体系，成了永远的大祭司。
where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
第 7 章
1 这麦基洗德就是撒冷王，又是至高上帝的祭司，本是长远为祭司的。他当亚伯拉罕杀败诸王回来的时候，就迎接他，给他祝福。
这麦基洗德就是撒冷王，又是至高上帝的祭司。亚伯拉罕杀败众王回来的时候，麦基洗德迎接他，并且给他祝福。 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,
2 亚伯拉罕也将自己所得来的，取十分之一给他。他头一个名翻出来就是仁义王，他又名撒冷王，就是平安王的意思。 亚伯拉罕也把自己得来的一切，拿出十分之一来给他。麦基洗德这名字翻译出来，头一个意思就是「公义的王」；其次是「撒冷王」，就是「平安的王」的意思。
and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means \of righteousness\then also, \of Salem\means \
3 他无父，无母，无族谱，无生之始，无命之终，乃是与上帝的儿子相似。
他没有父亲，没有母亲，没有族谱，也没有生死的记录，而是与上帝的儿子相似，永远作祭司。
Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.
4 你们想一想，先祖亚伯拉罕将自己所掳来上等之物取十分之一给他，这人是何等尊贵呢！
你们想一想这人是多么伟大啊！祖先亚伯拉罕也要从上等的掳物中，拿出十分之一来给了他。 Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!
5 那得祭司职任的利未子孙，领命照例向百姓取十分之一，这百姓是自己的弟兄，虽是从亚伯拉罕身（原文作腰）中生的，还是照例取十分之一；
那些领受祭司职分的利未子孙，奉命按照律法向人民，就是自己的弟兄，收取十分之一；虽然他们都是出于亚伯拉罕的。
Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people--that is, their brothers--even though their brothers are descended from Abraham.
6 独有麦基洗德，不与他们同谱，倒收纳亚伯拉罕的十分之一，为那蒙应许的亚伯拉罕祝福。
可是那不与他们同谱系的麦基洗德，反而收纳了亚伯拉罕的十分之一，并且给这蒙受应许的人祝福。
This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7 从来位分大的给位分小的祝福，这是驳不倒的理。
向来都是位分大的给位分小的祝福，这是毫无疑问的。 And without doubt the lesser person is blessed by the greater.
8 在这里收十分之一的都是必死的人；但在那里收十分之一的，有为他作见证的说，他是活的； 在这里，收取十分之一的，都是必死的；但在那里，收纳十分之一的，却被证实是一位活着的。
In the one case, the tenth is collected by men who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. 9 并且可说那受十分之一的利未，也是藉着亚伯拉罕纳了十分之一。
并且可以这样说，连那收取十分之一的利未，也透过亚伯拉罕缴纳了十分之一。 One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, 10 因为麦基洗德迎接亚伯拉罕的时候，利未已经在他先祖的身（原文作腰）中。 因为麦基洗德迎接亚伯拉罕的时候，利未还在他祖先的身体里面。
because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.
11 从前百姓在利未人祭司职任以下受律法，倘若藉这职任能得完全，又何用另外兴起一位祭司，照麦基洗德的等次，不照亚伦的等次呢？
这样看来，如果借着利未人的祭司制度能达到完全的地步（人民是在这制度下领受律法的），为甚么还需要照着麦基洗德的体系，另外兴起一位祭司，而不照着亚伦的体系呢？
If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the law was given to the people), why was there still need for another priest to come--one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron? 12 祭司的职任既已更改，律法也必须更改。 祭司的制度既然更改了，律法也必须更改。
For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law. 13 因为这话所指的人本属别的支派，那支派里从来没有一人伺候祭坛。
因为这些话所指的那位，原是属于另外一个支派的，这支派向来没有人在祭坛前供职。
He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar. 14 我们的主分明是从犹大出来的；但这支派，摩西并没有提到祭司。
我们的主明明是从犹大支派出来的，关于这个支派，摩西并没有提及祭司的事。
For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. 15 倘若照麦基洗德的样式，另外兴起一位祭司来，我的话更是显而易见的了。 如果有另一位像麦基洗德那样的祭司兴起来，那么，这里所说的就更明显了。 And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
16 他成为祭司，并不是照属肉体的条例，乃是照无穷（原文作不能毁坏）之生命的大能。 他成了祭司，不是按着律法上肉身的条例，却是按着不能毁坏的生命的大能。
one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.
17 因为有给他作见证的说：“你是照着麦基洗德的等次永远为祭司。” 因为有为他作证的说：「你永远作祭司，是照着麦基洗德的体系。」 For it is declared: \ 18 先前的条例，因软弱无益，所以废掉了，
一方面，从前的条例因为软弱，没有用处，就废弃了；
The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless
19 （律法原来一无所成）就引进了更美的指望；靠这指望，我们便可以进到上帝面前。 （因为律法从来没有使甚么得到完全，）另一方面，它却带来了更美的盼望，借着这盼望，我们就可以亲近上帝。 for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God. 20 再者，耶稣为祭司，并不是不起誓立的。
此外，还有关于誓言的事。其他成为祭司的，并不是用誓言立的； And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath,
21 至于那些祭司，原不是起誓立的，只有耶稣是起誓立的；因为那立他的对他说：“主起了誓，决不后悔，你是永远为祭司。”
只有耶稣是用誓言立的，因为那立他的对他说：「主已经起了誓，决不改变，你永远作祭司。」
but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: \priest forever.'\
22 既是起誓立的，耶稣就作了更美之约的中保。
耶稣既然是用誓言立的，就成了更美好的约的保证。
Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant. 23 那些成为祭司的，数目本来多，是因为有死阻隔，不能长久。
一方面，从前那些作祭司的，因为受死亡的限制，不能长久留任，所以人数众多。
Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 这位既是永远常存的，他祭司的职任就长久不更换。
另一方面，因为耶稣是永远长存的，就拥有他永不更改的祭司职位。 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.
25 凡靠着他进到上帝面前的人，他都能拯救到底；因为他是长远活着，替他们祈求。
因此，那些靠着他进到上帝面前的人，他都能拯救到底；因为他长远活着，为他们代求。
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. 26 象这样圣洁、无邪恶、无玷污、远离罪人、高过诸天的大祭司，原是与我们合宜的。
这样的一位大祭司，对我们本是合适的。他是圣洁、没有邪恶、没有玷污、从罪人中分别出来、高过众天的。 Such a high priest meets our need--one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 27 他不象那些大祭司，每日必须先为自己的罪，后为百姓的罪献祭；因为他只一次将自己献上，就把这事成全了。 他不必像那些大祭司，天天先为自己的罪献祭，然后为人民的罪献祭；因为他献上了自己，就把这事一次而永远的成全了。
Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
28 律法本是立软弱的人为大祭司；但在律法以后起誓的话，是立儿子为大祭司，乃是成全到永远的。 律法所立的大祭司，都是软弱的人；可是在律法以后，用誓言所立的儿子，却是成为完全直到永远的。
For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
第 8 章
1 我们所讲的事，其中第一要紧的，就是我们有这样的大祭司，已经坐在天上至大者宝座的右边，
