希伯来书 7
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1这 麦基洗德 就是 撒冷 王,又是至高 神的祭司,本是长远为祭司的。他当 亚伯拉罕 杀败诸王回来的时候,就迎接他,给他祝福。
1This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2亚伯拉罕 也将自己所得来的,取十分之一给他。他头一个名翻出来就是仁义王,他又名 撒冷 王,就是平安王的意思。
2and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness.” Then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”
3他无父,无母,无族谱,无生之始,无命之终,乃是与 神的儿子相似。
3Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.
4你们想一想,先祖 亚伯拉罕 将自己所掳来上等之物取十分之一给他,这人是何等尊贵呢!
4Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.
5那得祭司职任的 利未 子孙,领命照例向百姓取十分之一,这百姓是自己的弟兄,虽是从 亚伯拉罕 身中生的,还是照例 取十分之一 。
5Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.
6独有 麦基洗德 ,不与他们同谱,倒收纳 亚伯拉罕 的十分之一,为那蒙应许的 亚伯拉罕 祝福。
6But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7从来位分大的给位分小的祝福,这是驳不倒的理。
7And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8在这里收十分之一的都是必死的人;但在那里收十分之一的,有为他作见证的说,他是活的;
8In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.
9并且可说那受十分之一的 利未 ,也是借着 亚伯拉罕 纳了十分之一。
9And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.
10因为 麦基洗德 迎接 亚伯拉罕 的时候, 利未 已经在他先祖的身中。
10For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.
11从前百姓在 利未 人祭司职任以下受律法,倘若借这职任能得完全,又何用另外兴起一位祭司,照 麦基洗德 的等次,不照 亚伦 的等次呢?
11Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?
12祭司的职任既已更改,律法也必须更改。
12For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.
13因为这话所指的人本属别的支派,那支派里从来没有一人伺候祭坛。
13He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
14我们的主分明是从 犹大 出来的;但这支派, 摩西 并没有提到祭司。
14For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.
15倘若照 麦基洗德 的样式,另外兴起一位祭司来, 我的话 更是显而易见的了。
15And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
16他成为祭司,并不是照属肉体的条例,乃是照无穷之生命的大能。
16one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.
17因为有给他作见证的说:「你是照着 麦基洗德 的等次永远为祭司。」
17For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
18先前的条例,因软弱无益,所以废掉了,
18So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
19(律法原来一无所成)就引进了更美的指望;靠这指望,我们便可以进到 神面前。
19(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
20再者, 耶稣为祭司 ,并不是不起誓立的。
20And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
21至于那些祭司,原不是起誓立的,只有耶稣是起誓立的;因为那立他的对他说:「主起了誓,决不后悔,你是永远为祭司。」
21but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’”
22既是起誓立的,耶稣就作了更美之约的中保。
22Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23那些成为祭司的,数目本来多,是因为有死阻隔,不能长久。
23Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
24这位既是永远常存的,他祭司的职任就长久不更换。
24But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.
25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。
25Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.
26像这样圣洁、无邪恶、无玷污、远离罪人、高过诸天的大祭司,原是与我们合宜的。
26Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
27他不像那些大祭司,每日必须先为自己的罪,后为百姓的罪献祭;因为他只一次将自己献上,就把这事成全了。
27Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.
28律法本是立软弱的人为大祭司;但在律法以后起誓的话,是立儿子为大祭司,乃是成全到永远的。
28For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
