< 希伯来书 10 >

1 律法只是即将到来之美好的影子,并非实物本身, 所以永远无法通过年复一年的反复献祭,让那些敬拜上帝之人实现正直良善。
For the law having a shadow of the good [things] to come, not the very image of the things, they can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.
2 如果敬拜的人一次得洁净,良心就不再觉得有罪,那么,献祭的事不是早就停止了吗?
Else would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more conscience of sins?
3 可事实上,那些祭品却使人每年都想起罪来,
But in those [sacrifices] there is a remembrance made of sins year by year.
4 因为公牛和山羊的血不能清除罪。
For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
5 所以,基督到世上来的时候,会说:“祭品和礼物不是你所要的,你为我准备好身体。
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me;
6 燔祭和赎罪祭不会让你喜悦;
In whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hadst no pleasure:
7 那时我说:‘上帝!看啊,我来做你让我做的事情,就像经书上记载的那些关于我的事。’”
Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God.
8 之前说道:“祭品和礼物,燔祭和赎罪祭,都不是你想要的,不会让你喜悦。”(尽管它们都是按照律法要求献祭的)。
Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law),
9 然后他又说:“看哪!我来了,是要做你想做的事情。”他废除了第一个约定,建立第二个。
then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 我们通过这约定,借着耶稣基督一次献上他的身体,就已获得神圣。
By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 所有祭司天天事奉,反复献上同样的祭品,那些祭品永远不能清除罪。
And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins:
12 唯有这个祭司,进行一次永远有效的赎罪献祭,然后就在上帝的右边坐下来。
but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 现在,他只需等待他的敌人被征服,让他们成为他的脚凳。
from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet.
14 因为他的一次献祭,就让那些圣洁之人永远成为正直良善。
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 圣灵也告诉我们,他这样说:
And the Holy Ghost also beareth witness to us: for after he hath said,
16 “主说:‘今后,我与他们所立的约是这样的:要把我的律法放在他们的心里面,写在他们的心上。’”他又说:
This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; [then saith he],
17 “我不再记着他们的恶和不法行为。”
And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
18 这一切被赦免后,就不需要为罪献祭了。
Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 所以,兄弟姐妹们,凭着耶稣的血,我们可以自信地进入至圣所。
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
20 他通过其生死给我们开辟一条全新的、永生的道路,穿越帐幔来到上帝面前。
by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 我们有一位伟大的祭司管理上帝的家,
and [having] a great priest over the house of God;
22 我们良心的邪恶既然被洒净,身体也用清水洗净了,那么,我们就应该怀着真诚的心和完备的信,走近上帝;
let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure water:
23 因此,让我们紧紧抓住对别人讲述的希望,不要犹豫,因为上帝的承诺值得信赖。
let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:
24 让我们想想如何激励彼此,去爱,去做善事。
and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works;
25 我们不可放弃聚会,好像有些人的习惯一样;要互相劝勉。你们既然知道那日子临近,就更应该这样。
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting [one another]; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.
26 如果我们领受了真理的知识,还是故意犯罪,就再没有留下赎罪的祭品了;
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,
27 剩下的只有恐惧,等待即将到来的审判,以及毁灭敌视上帝之人的可怕火焰。
but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.
28 如果有人违背摩西的律法,凭着两三个证人,他仍然得不到怜悯,需要去死;
A man that hath set at nought Moses’ law dieth without compassion on [the word of] two or three witnesses:
29 何况是践踏上帝之子,无视那让他圣洁的立约之血,把它当作俗物,滥用恩典之灵,你们想想,他会遭受怎样的惩罚?
of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 我们知道上帝他说过:“我要确保正义得到伸张;我会给人们其应得的东西。”他还说:“主必审判他的子民。”
For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 在永生神的大能下是很可怕的。
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 回想从前的日子,那时,你们理解了真理后,忍受了许多痛苦;
But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;
33 有时会被侮辱和攻击, 又要与那些受苦的人团结地站在一起。
partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used.
34 你们同情那些遭监禁的人;你们的家业被抢夺的时候,又以欢喜的心接受,因为知道自己有更美长存的家业。
For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions, knowing that ye yourselves have a better possession and an abiding one.
35 所以,你们不可丢弃坦然无惧的心,这样的心必有丰厚赏赐。
Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.
36 你们还需要忍耐,好让你完成上帝的旨意,可以领受承诺的一切。
For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.
37 “还有一点点的时候,他会来,正如他所说的,不会迟延。
For yet a very little while, He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.
38 那些做正确之事的人,会因信上帝而活着;如果他们背弃承诺,他们不会让我感到满意。”
But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.
39 但我们不是那种退缩并最终迷失的人, 而是那些相信上帝会拯救我们的人。
But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.
