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.
Darum, heilige Brüder, Genossen der himmlischen Berufung, richtet euer Augenmerk auf den Gottesboten und Hohenpriester unsers Bekenntnisses, auf Jesus,
2 He faithfully [served God], who appointed him, just like Moses faithfully [served] God’s people [MTY].
der da »treu« war dem, der ihn geschaffen hat, wie auch Mose (treu gewesen ist) »in Gottes ganzem Hause«.
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].
Denn einer größeren Herrlichkeit als Mose ist dieser würdig erachtet worden, in dem Maße, als der, welcher das Haus hergestellt hat, höher an Ehre steht als das Haus.
Denn jedes Haus wird von jemand hergestellt; der aber alles hergestellt hat, das 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.
Und was Mose betrifft, so ist er zwar »in seinem ganzen Hause treu« gewesen, (aber doch nur) als »Diener«, um Zeugnis abzulegen für das, was als Offenbarung verkündigt werden 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].
Christus dagegen (ist treu) als »Sohn« über »sein eigenes Haus«, und sein Haus sind wir, vorausgesetzt, daß wir an der freudigen Zuversicht und an der Hoffnung, deren wir uns rühmen, bis ans Ende unerschütterlich festhalten.
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],
Deshalb (gilt uns) das Wort des heiligen Geistes: »Heute, wenn ihr seine Stimme hört,
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 (es einst) bei der Erbitterung am Tage der Versuchung in der Wüste (geschah),
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 einer Erprobung versuchten; und doch haben sie meine Werke vierzig Jahre hindurch gesehen.
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.’
Deshalb ward ich über dieses Geschlecht entrüstet und sprach: ›Allezeit gehen sie mit ihrem Herzen irre!‹ Sie aber erkannten 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 daß ich in meinem Zorn schwur: ›Sie sollen nimmermehr 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.
Gebt acht, liebe Brüder, daß sich in keinem von euch ein böses Herz des Unglaubens im Abfall von dem lebendigen Gott zeige!
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].
Ermahnt euch vielmehr selbst an jedem Tage, solange das »Heute« noch gilt, damit keiner von euch durch den Betrug der Sünde verhärtet werde.
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].
Denn Genossen Christi sind wir geworden, wenn anders wir die anfängliche Glaubenszuversicht bis ans Ende unerschütterlich festhalten.
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 hört, verhärtet eure Herzen nicht, wie es bei der Erbitterung geschah« –
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 Leute, die, obgleich sie (seine Verheißung) gehört hatten, dennoch sich erbittern ließen? Waren es nicht alle, die durch Moses Vermittlung aus Ägypten ausgezogen 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]
Und wer waren die Leute, über die er vierzig Jahre lang entrüstet gewesen ist? Doch wohl die, welche gesündigt hatten und deren Glieder (dann) in der Wüste zerfallen sind.
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.
Und wer waren die Leute, denen er zugeschworen hat, sie sollten nicht in seine Ruhe eingehen? Doch wohl die, welche sich ungehorsam bewiesen hatten.
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].
So sehen wir denn, daß sie nicht haben hineingelangen können infolge (ihres) Unglaubens.
