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.
Nun denn, heilige Brüder, Gefährten himmlischer Berufung, betrachtet unverwandt den Gesandten und Hohenpriester Jesus, zu dem wir uns bekennen,
2 He faithfully [served God], who appointed him, just like Moses faithfully [served] God’s people [MTY].
der dem treu war, der ihn bestellte, ähnlich, wie in seinem ganzen Hause Moses.
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].
Ist er doch größerer Herrlichkeit gewürdigt worden als Moses, wie der Baumeister größeren Ruhm hat als das Haus.
Jedes Haus hat seinen Baumeister; der Weltenbaumeister jedoch ist Gott.
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.
Auch Moses, der in seinem ganzen Leben treu gedient hat, tat dies als Diener, zum Zeugnis für die Offenbarung, die erst noch kommen sollte.
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].
Doch Christus steht als Sohn über seinem Hause. Dieses Haus sind wir, wenn wir die gläubige Zuversicht und das ruhmvolle Hoffen bis ans Ende treu bewahren.
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],
Darum gilt, was der Heilige Geist gesprochen hat: "Heute, wenn ihr seine Stimme höret,
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].
verhärtet eure Herzen nicht wie bei der Erbitterung am Tage der Versuchung in der Wüste,
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.
wo eure Väter mich mit Zweifel auf die Probe stellten, obwohl sie meine Taten vierzig Jahre lang sahen.
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.’
So überkam mich ein heiliger Zorn über dieses Geschlecht; ich sprach: 'Beständig mögen sie in ihrem Herzen irren.' Doch sie verstanden meine Wege nicht.
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]!’”
So schwur ich denn in meinem Zorne: 'Sie sollen nicht in meine Ruhe eingehen.'"
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.
Seht zu, o meine Brüder, daß nicht in irgendeinem unter euch ein böses und ungläubiges Herz sich finde, daß es zum Abfall käme vom lebendigen Gott.
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].
Sprecht vielmehr Tag für Tag einander zu, solange das "Heute" noch gilt, daß keiner unter euch verhärtet werde durch den Trug der Sünde.
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].
Wir sind Gefährten Christi, wenn wir nur den ersten Glauben bis zum Ende treu bewahren.
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].
Wenn es heißt: "Heute, wenn ihr seine Stimme höret, verhärtet eure Herzen nicht wie bei der Erbitterung",
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]
wer waren denn die Hörer, die so erbittert waren?
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]
Wem zürnte er denn vierzig Jahre lang? Waren es nicht jene, die gesündigt hatten und deren Leichen in der Wüste liegen blieben?
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.
Wem hat er denn geschworen, daß sie nicht in seine Ruhe eingehen sollten? Wenn nicht denen, die ungehorsam waren?
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].
Und in der Tat, wir sehen, daß sie wegen dieses Unglaubens nicht eingehen konnten.
