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.
Derhalben, ihr heiligen Brüder, die ihr mit berufen seid durch die himmlische Berufung, nehmet wahr des Apostels und Hohenpriesters, den wir bekennen, Christi Jesu,
2 He faithfully [served God], who appointed him, just like Moses faithfully [served] God’s people [MTY].
der da treu ist dem, der ihn gemacht hat (wie auch Mose) in seinem ganzen 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].
Dieser aber ist größerer Ehre wert denn Mose, nachdem der eine größere Ehre am Hause hat, der es bereitet, denn das Haus.
Denn ein jeglich Haus wird von jemand bereitet; der aber alles bereitet, 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 Mose zwar war treu in seinem ganzen Hause als ein Knecht zum Zeugnis des, das gesagt sollte werden;
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 aber als ein Sohn über sein Haus; welches Haus sind wir, so wir anders das Vertrauen und den Ruhm der Hoffnung bis ans Ende fest behalten.
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],
Darum, wie der Heilige Geist spricht: Heute, so ihr hören werdet seine Stimme,
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].
so verstocket eure Herzen nicht, als geschah in der Verbitterung, am Tage der Versuchung in der Wüste,
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.
da mich eure Väter versuchten; sie prüften mich und sahen meine Werke vierzig Jahre lang;
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.’
darum ich entrüstet ward über dies Geschlecht und sprach: Immerdar irren sie mit dem Herzen, aber sie wußten 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]!’”
daß ich auch schwur in meinem Zorn, sie sollten zu meiner Ruhe nicht kommen.
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.
Sehet zu, liebe Brüder, daß nicht jemand unter euch ein arges, ungläubiges Herz habe, das da abtrete von dem lebendigen Gott,
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].
sondern ermahnet euch selbst alle Tage, solange es heute heißt, daß nicht jemand unter euch verstocket werde durch Betrug der Sünde.
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 wir sind Christi teilhaftig worden, so wir anders das angefangene Wesen bis ans Ende fest behalten,
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].
solange gesagt wird: Heute, so ihr seine Stimme hören werdet, so verstocket eure Herzen nicht, wie in der Verbitterung 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]
Denn etliche, da sie höreten, richteten eine Verbitterung an, aber nicht alle, die von Ägypten ausgingen durch Mose.
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]
Über welche aber ward er entrüstet vierzig Jahre lang? Ist's nicht also, daß über die, so da sündigten, deren Leiber in der Wüste verfielen?
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.
Welchen schwur er aber, daß sie nicht zu seiner Ruhe kommen sollten, denn den Ungläubigen?
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].
Und wir sehen, daß sie nicht haben können hineinkommen um des Unglaubens willen.
