3:1 同蒙天召的圣洁弟兄阿，你们应当思想，我们所认为使者，为大祭司的耶稣。

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

 

3:2 他为那设立他的尽忠，如同摩西在神的全家尽忠一样。

Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

 

3:3 他比摩西算是更配多得荣耀，好像建造房屋的比房屋更尊荣。

For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

 

3:4 因为房屋都必有人建造。但建造万物的就是神。

For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

 

3:5 摩西为仆人，在神的全家诚然尽忠，为要证明将来必传说的事。

And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

 

3:6 但基督为儿子，治理神的家。我们若将可夸的盼望和胆量，坚持到底，便是他的家了。

But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

 

3:7 圣灵有话说，你们今日若听他的话，

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

 

3:8 就不可硬着心，像在旷野惹他发怒，试探他的时候一样。

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

 

3:9 在那里，你们的祖宗试我探我，并且观看我的作为，有四十年之久。

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

 

3:10 所以我厌烦那世代的人，说，他们心里常常迷糊，竟不晓得我的作为。

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

 

3:11 我就在怒中起誓说，他们断不可进入我的安息。

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

 

3:12 弟兄们，你们要谨慎，免得你们中间，或有人存着不信的恶心，把永生神离弃了。

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

 

3:13 总要趁着还有今日，天天彼此相劝，免得你们中间，有人被罪迷惑，心里就刚硬了。

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

 

3:14 我们若将起初确实的信心，坚持到底，就在基督里有分了。

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

 

3:15 经上说，你们今日若听他的话，就不可硬着心，像惹他发怒的日子一样。

While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

 

3:16 那时听见他话惹他发怒的是谁呢。岂不是跟着摩西从埃及出来的众人吗。

For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

 

3:17 神四十年之久，又厌烦谁呢。岂不是那些犯罪尸首倒在旷野的人吗。

But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

 

3:18 又向谁起誓，不容他们进入他的安息呢。岂不是向那些不信从的人吗。

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

 

3:19 这样看来，他们不能进入安息，是因为不信的缘故了。

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
