希伯來書 12
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1我們既有這許多的見證人，如同雲彩圍着我們，就當放下各樣的重擔，脫去容易纏累我們的罪，存心忍耐，奔那擺在我們前頭的路程，
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.
2仰望為我們信心創始成終的耶穌。他因那擺在前面的喜樂，就輕看羞辱，忍受了十字架 的苦難 ，便坐在上帝寶座的右邊。
2Let 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.
3那忍受罪人這樣頂撞的，你們要思想，免得疲倦灰心。
3Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
4你們與罪惡相爭，還沒有抵擋到流血的地步。
4In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
5你們又忘了那勸你們如同勸兒子的話，說： 我兒，你不可輕看主的管教， 被他責備的時候也不可灰心；
5And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you.
6因為主所愛的，他必管教， 又鞭打凡所收納的兒子。
6For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.”
7你們所忍受的，是上帝管教你們，待你們如同待兒子。焉有兒子不被父親管教的呢？
7Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
8管教原是眾子所共受的。你們若不受管教，就是私子，不是兒子了。
8If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.
9再者，我們曾有生身的父管教我們，我們尚且敬重他，何況萬靈的父，我們豈不更當順服他得生嗎？
9Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live?
10生身的父都是暫隨己意管教我們；惟有萬靈的父管教我們，是要我們得益處，使我們在他的聖潔上有分。
10Our fathers disciplined us for a short time as they thought best, but God disciplines us for our good, so that we may share in His holiness.
11凡管教的事，當時不覺得快樂，反覺得愁苦；後來卻為那經練過的人結出平安的果子，就是義。
11No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.
12所以，你們要把下垂的手、發酸的腿挺起來；
12Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees.
13也要為自己的腳，把道路修直了，使瘸子不致歪腳，反得痊癒。
13Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
14你們要追求與眾人和睦，並要追求聖潔；非聖潔沒有人能見主。
14Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
15又要謹慎，恐怕有人失了上帝的恩；恐怕有毒根生出來擾亂你們，因此叫眾人沾染污穢；
15See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.
16恐怕有淫亂的，有貪戀世俗如 以掃 的，他因一點食物把自己長子的名分賣了。
16See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his birthright.
17後來想要承受父所祝的福，竟被棄絕，雖然號哭切求，卻得不着門路使他 父親 的心意回轉。這是你們知道的。
17For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears.
18你們原不是來到那能摸的山；此山有火焰、密雲、黑暗、暴風、
18For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom, and storm;
19角聲與說話的聲音。那些聽見這聲音的，都求不要再向他們說話；
19to a trumpet blast or to a voice that made its hearers beg that no further word be spoken.
20因為他們當不起所命他們的話，說：「靠近這山的，即便是走獸，也要用石頭打死。」
20For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”
21所見的極其可怕，甚至 摩西 說：「我甚是恐懼戰兢。」
21The sight was so terrifying that even Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
22你們乃是來到 錫安山 ，永生上帝的城邑，就是天上的 耶路撒冷 。那裏有千萬的天使，
22Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels
23有名錄在天上諸長子之會所共聚的總會，有審判眾人的上帝和被成全之義人的靈魂，
23in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
24並新約的中保耶穌，以及所灑的血；這血所說的比 亞伯 的血所說的更美。
24to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
25你們總要謹慎，不可棄絕那向你們說話的。因為，那些棄絕在地上警戒他們的尚且不能逃罪，何況我們違背那從天上警戒我們的呢？
25See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven?
26當時他的聲音震動了地，但如今他應許說：「再一次我不單要震動地，還要震動天。」
26At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.”
27這再一次的話，是指明被震動的，就是受造之物都要挪去，使那不被震動的常存。
27The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that the unshakable may remain.
28所以我們既得了不能震動的國，就當感恩，照上帝所喜悅的，用虔誠、敬畏的心事奉上帝。
28Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
29因為我們的上帝乃是烈火。
29“For our God is a consuming fire.”
