希伯来书纲要(十五)---《希伯来书》优美经句集锦
1. “神既在古时借着众先知,多次多方的晓谕列祖,就在这末世,借着他儿子晓谕我们,又早已立他为承受万有的,也曾借着他创造诸世界。他是神荣耀所发的光辉,是神本体的真像,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。”(来1:1-3)
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 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. 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.
2. “儿女既同有血肉之体,他也照样亲自成了血肉之体。特要借着死,败坏那掌死权的,就是魔鬼。并要释放那些一生因怕死而为奴仆的人。”(来2:14-15)
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--and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
3. “神的道是活泼的,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。”(来4:12)
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.
4. “我们既然有一位已经升入高天尊荣的大祭司,就是神的儿子耶稣,便当持定所承认的道。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。所以我们只管坦然无惧地,来到施恩的宝座前,为要得怜恤,蒙恩惠,作随时的帮助。”(来4:14-16)
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. 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. 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.
5. “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。他虽然为儿子,还是因所受的苦难学了顺从。他既得以完全,就为凡顺从他的人,成了永远得救的根源。”(来5:7-9)
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. Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.
6. “所以我们应当离开基督道理的开端,竭力进到完全的地步。”(来6:1)
Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity.
7. “论到那些已经蒙了光照,尝过天恩的滋味,又于圣灵有分,并尝过神善道的滋味,觉悟来世权能的人,若是离弃道理,就不能叫他们从新懊悔了。因为他们把神的儿子重钉十字架,明明地羞辱他。”(来6:4-6)
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, 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.
8. “凡靠着他进到神面前的人,他都能拯救到底。因为他是长远活着,替他们祈求。”(来7:25)
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
9. “主又说,那些日子以后,我与以色列家所立的约乃是这样。我要将我的律法放在他们里面,写在他们心上,我要作他们的神,他们要作我的子民。他们不用各人教导自己的乡邻,和自己的弟兄,说,你该认识主。因为他们从最小的到至大的,都必认识我。我要宽恕他们的不义,不再记念他们的罪愆。”(来8:10-12)
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.
10. “何况基督借着永远的灵,将自己无瑕无疵献给神,他的血岂不更能洗净你们的心,除去你们的死行,使你们事奉那永生神吗?”(来9:14)
How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
11. “按着律法,凡物差不多都是用血洁净的,若不流血,罪就不得赦免了。”(来9:22)
In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
12. “按着定命,人人都有一死,死后且有审判。象这样,基督既然一次被献,担当了多人的罪,将来要向那等候他的人第二次显现,并与罪无关,乃是为拯救他们。”(来9:27-28)
Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
13. “弟兄们,我们既因耶稣的血,得以坦然进入至圣所,是借着他给我们开了一条又新又活的路,从幔子经过,这幔子就是他的身体。又有一位大祭司治理神的家。并我们心中天良的亏欠已经洒去,身体用清水洗净了,就当存着诚心,和充足的信心,来到神面前。也要坚守我们所承认的指望,不至摇动。因为那应许我们的是信实的。又要彼此相顾,激发爱心,勉励行善。”(来10:19-24)
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
14. “你们不可停止聚会,好像那些停止惯了的人,倒要彼此劝勉。既知道那日子临近,就更当如此。”(来10:25)
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
15. “何况人践踏神的儿子,将那使他成圣之约的血当作平常,又亵慢施恩的圣灵,你们想,他要受的刑罚该怎样加重呢?”(来10:29)
How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
16. “信就是所望之事的实底,是未见之事的确据。”(来11:1)
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
17. “人非有信就不能得神的喜悦。因为到神面前来的人,必须信有神,且信他赏赐那寻求他的人。”(来11:6)
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
18. “我们既有这许多的见证人,如同云彩围着我们,就当放下各样的重担,脱去容易缠累我们的罪,存心忍耐,奔那摆在我们前头的路程,仰望为我们信心创始成终的耶稣。他因那摆在前面的喜乐,就轻看羞辱,忍受了十字架的苦难,便坐在神宝座的右边。”(来12:1-2)
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
19. “生身的父都是暂随己意管教我们。惟有万灵的父管教我们,是要我们得益处,使我们在他的圣洁上有分。凡管教的事,当时不觉得快乐,反觉得愁苦。后来却为那经练过的人,结出平安的果子,就是义。”(来12:10-11)
Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
20. “所以你们要把下垂的手,发酸的腿,挺起来。也要为自己的脚把道路修直了,使瘸子不至歪脚,反得痊愈。”(来12:12-13)
Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. "Make level paths for your feet," so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
21. “你们要追求与众人和睦,并要追求圣洁。非圣洁没有人能见主。”(来12:14)
Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
22. “所以我们既得了不能震动的国,就当感恩,照神所喜悦的,用虔诚敬畏的心事奉神。”(来12:28)
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
23. “你们存心不可贪爱钱财。要以自己所有的为足。因为主曾说,我总不撇下你,也不丢弃你。”(来13:5)
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
24. “耶稣基督,昨日今日一直到永远是一样的。”(来13:8)
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
25. “我们应当靠着耶稣,常常以颂赞为祭献给神,这就是那承认主名之人嘴唇的果子。”(来13:15)
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise--the fruit of lips that confess his name.
26. “但愿赐平安的神,就是那凭永约之血使群羊的大牧人我主耶稣,从死里复活的神,在各样善事上,成全你们,叫你们遵行他的旨意,又借着耶稣基督在你们心里行他所喜悦的事。愿荣耀归给他,直到永永远远。阿们。”(来13:20-21)
May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
