Hebrews 3
1 My fellow believers, [God] has set you apart and has chosen you, just like he chose me. So consider Jesus. [He is God’s] messenger to us. He is also the Supreme Priest whom we say we believe in.
所以，有分於天上召選的諸聖弟兄啊。你們應細心想想，我們公認的欽使和大司祭耶穌，
2 He faithfully [served God], who appointed him, just like Moses faithfully [served] God’s people [MTY].
對那委派衪的是怎樣忠信，正如『梅瑟在衪的全家中』一樣。
3 Just like every house is made by someone {as someone makes every house}, Jesus made everything, and he is God/Divine. So God has considered that Jesus is worthy [that people honor] him more than they honor Moses, just like the one who builds a house deserves that people honor him more than they should honor the house [he built].
衪本來比梅瑟堪受更大地光榮，就如修建房屋的人，比那房屋理當更受尊榮。
不錯，每座房屋都由一個人修建，但那創造萬有的卻是天主。
5 Moses very faithfully [served God as he] ([helped/cared for]) [MET] God’s people, just like a servant [faithfully serves his master]. The result was that Moses testified about what Jesus would say later.
梅瑟在天主的全家中的確忠信，不過衪只是臣僕，為給那當要宣布的事作證；
6 But Christ [faithfully serves God as he] ([helps/cares for]) his own people [MTY, MET], just like a [son helps/cares for his own family]. And we are God’s people [MTY] if we continue to confidently [believe in Christ] and if we continue to confidently wait for [what God will do for us].
但基督卻是兒子，管理自己的家；衪的家就是我們，只要我們保存由望德所生的依恃和榮耀，『堅定不移，直到最後。』
7 The Holy Spirit [caused the Psalmist to write these words in the Scriptures to the Israelites]: Now, when you [(pl)] hear God speaking to you [MTY],
為此，聖神有話說：『今天你們如果聽見衪的聲音，
8 do not stubbornly ([disobey/refuse to] obey [him]) [IDM], [as your Jewish ancestors stubbornly disobeyed him] when they rebelled against [him] in the desert. [At that time, God said to your ancestors], “They tried to determine how many [things that displeased me they could do] in the desert [without me punishing them].
不要再心硬了，像在叛亂之時，像在曠野中試探的那一天；
9 Your ancestors repeatedly tested [whether I would be patient with them, even though] for 40 years they saw all the amazing things I did.
在那裏，你們的祖宗以考驗試探了我，雖然見了我的作為，
10 So, I became disgusted with those people who saw those things, and I said [about them], ‘They are constantly disloyal to me, and they do not understand how I [wanted them] to conduct their lives.’
共四十年之久。所以我厭惡了那一世代，說：衪們心中時常迷惑，衪們不認識我的道路，
11 As a result, because I was angry with them, I solemnly declared, ‘They will not enter [the land of Canaan] where I would let them rest [MTY]!’”
所以我在怒中起誓說：衪們決不得進入我的安息。』
12 So, my fellow believers, be careful that none of you is so evil that you stop trusting [in Christ]. That would cause you to reject God who is all-powerful.
弟兄們你們要小心，免得你們中有人起背信的惡心，背離生活的天主；
13 Instead, each of you must encourage each other every day, while [you still have] the opportunity [IDM], in order that none of you may stubbornly [reject God] by [letting others] deceive you (OR, as you deceive yourselves), [with the result that] you [(sg)] sin [PRS].
反之，只要還有「今天」在，你們要天天互相勸勉，免得你們有人因罪惡的誘惑而硬了心，
14 [We must encourage one another], because we [(inc)] benefit from [all] Christ [has done] only if we firmly keep trusting [in him] from the time when we first confidently [trusted in him] until [the time when] we die [EUP].
因為我們已成了有分於基督的人，只要我們保存著起初懷有的信心，堅定不移，直到最後，
15 [We can do this] by paying attention to [what the Psalmist wrote in that Scripture passage in which] God said, Now, when you hear me speaking [to you(pl)] [MTY], do not stubbornly disobey me as [your ancestors stubbornly disobeyed me] when they rebelled [against me].
經上所說：『今天你們如果聽見衪的聲音，不要再心硬了，像在叛亂之時，』
16 ([You must keep trusting in God] because you must remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard him speaking to them./Do you remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard [him speaking to them]?) [RHQ] It was people who had certainly experienced [LIT] God’s power. It was all those people whom Moses led miraculously out of Egypt. [RHQ]
是誰聽了而起了叛亂呢﹖豈不是梅瑟從埃及領出來的眾人嗎﹖
17 And ([you must remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40 years./do you [remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40years?) [RHQ] It was those same people who had sinned like that, and who as a result died in the desert! [RHQ]
四十年之久，天主厭惡了誰呢﹖不是那些犯了罪，而衪們的屍首倒在曠野中的人嗎﹖
18 And ([you must remember] about whom God solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I would let them rest.”/do you [remember] about whom [God] solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I [would let them] rest”?) [RHQ] It was those Israelites who disobeyed God.
衪向誰起了誓，不准進入衪的安息呢﹖不是向那些背信的人嗎﹖
19 So, from that example we [(inc)] realize that it was because they did not keep trusting [in God] that they were unable to enter [the land where they would rest].
於是我們看出：衪們不得進入安息，是因了背信的緣故。
