Ebre 7-10
Haitian Creole Version
7 ¶ Mèlkisedèk sa a, se te wa peyi Salèm, yon prèt ki t'ap sèvi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Lè Abraram t'ap tounen lakay li, apre li te fin kraze kèk wa nan yon batay, Mèlkisedèk vin kontre l', li ba l' benediksyon.
2 Lè sa a, Abraram separe ba li yon dizyèm nan tou sa li te pran. Non Mèlkisedèk la gen de sans. Nan yon premye sans, li vle di Wa ki bay jistis la. Men, akòz li te wa peyi Salèm, li gen yon dezyèm sans. Li vle di tou Wa ki bay kè poze a.
3 Mèlkisedèk sa a, nou pa konn ni papa l', ni manman l', ni okenn nan zansèt li yo. Yo pa di ki bò l' te fèt, ni ki bò l' mouri. Li tankou Pitit Bondye a, li rete prèt pou tout tan.
4 Nou tou wè ki kalite grannèg nonm sa a te ye, pou granpapa nou, Abraram, te ba li yon dizyèm nan tou sa l' te pran nan batay la.
5 Dapre lalwa Moyiz, se nan ras Levi ase yo chwazi moun ki pou sèvi prèt. Prèt sa yo resevwa lòd pou yo mande pèp la yon dizyèm sou tout bagay, sa vle di, yo mande moun ki sitwayen menm peyi ak yo pou bay yon dizyèm nan tou sa yo genyen. Men, yo tout se pitit pitit Abraram yo ye.
6 Mèlkisedèk menm pa t' moun ras Levi. Men malgre sa, Abraram te ba li yon dizyèm nan tou sa li te pran. Sa ki pi rèd ankò, Mèlkisedèk bay moun ki te resevwa pwomès Bondye a benediksyon.
7 Moun ki bay benediksyon pi gran pase moun ki resevwa benediksyon. Sa se vre.
8 Nan ka prèt ras Levi yo, ofrann yon dizyèm lan se pou moun ki gen pou mouri. Men, nan ka Mèlkisedèk la, ladim lan se pou yon moun ki vivan, jan sa ekri nan Liv la.
9 Gen plis ankò: nou ka di lè Abraram te bay ofrann dizyèm lan, Levi te peye l' tou, li menm Levi ki gen pitit pitit li yo k'ap resevwa ofrann dizyèm lan koulye a.
10 Paske, nan yon sans, Levi ki pa t' ankò fèt te nan ren granpapa l', Abraram, lè Mèlkisedèk te vin kontre l' la.
11 ¶ Se sou baz travay prèt ras Levi yo Bondye te bay pèp Izrayèl la lalwa Moyiz la. Si travay prèt ras Levi yo te yon travay ki te bon nèt, pa ta gen nesesite menm pou yon lòt prèt ki menm jan ak Mèlkisedèk men ki pa menm jan ak Arawon ta vini.
12 Lè yo chanje travay prèt la, se pou yo chanje lalwa a tou.
13 Men, nan tout pawòl sa yo, se sou Seyè a y'ap pale. Men li menm, li soti nan yon lòt branch fanmi, ki pa janm gen pesonn ladan l' ki te konn fè sèvis prèt yo devan lòtèl la.
14 Sa se bagay tout moun konnen, Jezi te fèt nan branch fanmi Jida. Moyiz pa t' janm bay non sa a lè li t'ap pale sou prèt yo.
15 Bon, men yon lòt pwen k'ap eklèsi keksyon an plis toujou. Nou wè se yon lòt prèt ki tankou Mèlkisedèk ki vin la a.
16 Yo pa t' fè l' prèt dapre regleman lèzòm: men, se akòz pouvwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an kifè yo fè l' prèt.
17 Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Ou prèt pou tout tan menm jan ak Mèlkisedèk.
18 Konsa, yo mete ansyen regleman an sou kote, paske li fèb, li pa t' kapab sèvi anyen ankò.
19 Lalwa Moyiz la pa t' kapab rann anyen bon nèt sou tout pwen. Men, koulye a, yo ban nou yon pi bèl espwa, kifè nou ka pwoche bò kot Bondye.
20 Gen yon lòt bagay ankò: Se sèman Bondye te fè a. Bondye te fè lòt yo prèt san l' pa t' fè sèman.
21 Men pou Jezi, Bondye te fè sèman lè li t'ap mete l' prèt, paske li te di: Bondye fè sèman. L'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li: Ou prèt pou tout tan.
22 Konsa, avèk Jezi sa ban nou yon garanti, nou gen yon lòt kontra ak Bondye ki pi bon lontan pase premye a.
23 Gen yon lòt diferans ankò: Te gen anpil prèt nan lòt kategori a, paske se tout tan yo t'ap mouri. Yon sèl pa t' ka kenbe travay la nèt ale.
24 Men, Jezi li menm toujou vivan, li pa janm bezwen renmèt travay prèt la bay okenn lòt moun pou fè l' nan plas li.
25 Se poutèt sa, depi koulye a, epi pou tout tan, li ka delivre tout moun, l'ap fè yo pwoche bò kot Bondye paske li menm li toujou vivan, l'ap lapriyè Bondye pou yo.
26 Konsa, Jezi se granprèt nou te bezwen an. Li bon nèt, li pa janm fè okenn bagay ki mal, ni okenn peche. Yo mete l' apa, yo wete l' nan mitan moun k'ap fè peche yo. Bondye leve l', li mete l' pi wo pase syèl la.
27 Li pa tankou lòt granprèt yo. Li pa bezwen ap ofri chak jou yon bann bèt pou yo touye pou peche pa l' yo anvan, epi pou peche pèp la apre sa. Li pa nan sa li menm. Li fè yon sèl ofrann fini ak sa lè li te ofri tèt li a.
28 Dapre lalwa Moyiz la, se moun ki poko bon nèt yo te mete sèvi granprèt. Men, dapre pawòl sèman Bondye a, pawòl ki vin lontan apre lalwa a, moun Bondye mete granprèt la, se Pitit li a ki te vin bon nèt sou tout pwen pou tout tan.
8 ¶ Men bagay ki pi enpòtan nan tou sa m'ap di la a: Nou gen yon kalite granprèt konsa ki chita sou bò dwat fòtèy Bondye ki wa nan syèl la.
2 L'ap fè sèvis granprèt li nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a, sa vle di, nan kay tout bon an, kay Seyè a menm te bati. Se pa t' moun ki te bati l' pou li.
3 Travay yon granprèt, se ofri kado ak bèt pou touye bay Bondye. Nan kondisyon sa a, granprèt nou an dwe gen kichòy pou l' ofri tou.
4 Si Jezi te sou latè, menm senp prèt li pa ta ye, paske gen prèt deja ki la pou ofri kado yo, dapre jan lalwa Moyiz la vle l' la.
5 Nan sèvis prèt sa yo ap fè nan tanp ki sou latè a, se kopye y'ap kopye sou sa k'ap fèt nan syèl la. Sa y'ap fè a ou ta di se lonbraj sa k'ap fèt nan syèl la. Se konsa sa te ye pou Moyiz tou. Lè Moyiz tapral moute tant lan, Bondye di li: Gade byen pou ou ka fè tout bagay dapre modèl mwen te moutre ou sou mòn lan.
6 ¶ Men, koulye a, sèvis granprèt nou an gen pou l' fè a pi konsekan lontan pase sèvis prèt sa yo. Paske, kontra li te ranje ant Bondye ak lèzòm lan pi bon lontan, li gen pi bon pwomès ki garanti li.
7 Si premye kontra a pa t' gen defo, pa ta gen nesesite pou yo ta fè yon lòt kontra pou pran plas li.
8 Men, Bondye te gen repwòch pou l' fè pèp li a. Se sak fè Bondye di: Gade, pa rete lontan ankò anvan pou m' fè yon lòt kontra avèk pèp Izrayèl la, avèk branch fanmi Jida a.
9 Bondye di ankò: Se p'ap yon kontra tankou kontra mwen te fè avèk zansèt yo a, lè m' te pran men yo pou m' te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip la. Yo pa t' fè tou sa yo te dwe fè dapre kontra mwen te fè ak yo a. Se poutèt sa, mwen pa t' okipe yo tou.
10 Bondye di ankò: Men kontra mwen pral fè ak pèp Izrayèl la, apre jou sa yo fin pase. M'a mete lwa m' yo nan lespri yo, m'a make lwa m' yo nan kè yo. M'a tounen Bondye tout bon pou yo, y'a tounen yon pèp ki apa pou mwen.
11 Pesonn p'ap bezwen moutre yon lòt moun anyen nan peyi a. Pesonn p'ap bezwen di yon lòt nan peyi a: Manyè chache konn Bondye. Paske, yo tout y'a konnen m', depi sa ki tou piti a jouk sa ki pi gran an.
12 M'a padonnen sa yo fè ki mal, mwen p'ap chonje peche yo ankò.
13 Lè Bondye di li pral fè yon lòt kontra, li fè premye kontra a pase mòd. Tou sa ki pase mòd, tou sa ki fin vye prèt pou disparèt.
9 ¶ Premye kontra a te gen regleman pa l' pou jan yo dwe fè sèvis pou Bondye nan tanp ki sou latè a.
2 Premye bagay yo fè, yo moute yon gwo tant: se te kote yo te mete apa pou sèvis Bondye a. Se la yo te mete gwo lanp sèt branch lan, tab la ansanm ak pen yo ofri bay Bondye yo.
3 Dèyè dezyèm rido a, te gen yon lòt ti tant pi piti. Se te kote yo te mete apa nèt pou Bondye menm lan.
4 Se la lotèl an lò a te ye ansanm ak Bwat kote yo te sere kontra a. Se sou lotèl la yo te konn boule lansan. Bwat la menm te kouvri nèt ak lò. Anndan l' yo te mete yon ti ja an lò tou ki te gen laman dezè a. Bò kote ti ja a, yo te mete baton Arawon an ki te fleri, ansanm ak de moso wòch plat kote yo te ekri pawòl kontra a.
5 Anwo bwat la, yo te mete estati de zanj yo te rele cheriben. Se te pou fè moun konnen Bondye la. Zèl zanj yo te louvri, yo te kouvri tout kote yo ofri bèt pou touye pou peche yo. Men, nou pa gen tan koulye a pou n' pale an detay sou bagay sa yo.
6 Lè tout bagay fin nan plas yo konsa, prèt yo gen pou yo antre chak jou nan premye tant lan pou fè sèvis.
7 Men, se granprèt la ase ki gen dwa antre nan dezyèm ti tant lan. Li fè l' yon sèl fwa chak lanne. Lè sa a, li pote san bèt yo te ofri bay Bondye a pou tèt pa l' ansanm ak pou peche pèp la fè san yo pa t' konnen.
8 ¶ Avèk tout aranjman sa yo, Sentespri fè nou wè chemen ki pou mennen nou kote Bondye ye a poko louvri toutotan premye tant la kanpe toujou.
9 Sa se yon siy pou te fè nou konprann davans sa k'ap pase koulye a. Sa vle di: pou moun k'ap fè sèvis sa yo, nanpwen kado yo ka fè Bondye, nanpwen ofrann bèt yo ka touye bay Bondye ki pou lave konsyans yo devan Bondye.
10 Nan tout bagay sa yo, se yon keksyon de sa ki bon pou manje, de sa ki bon pou bwè, de tout kalite seremoni pou yo fè pou lave deyò kò moun. Prensip sa yo vo kichòy jouk lè Bondye vin chanje tout bagay.
11 Men, Kris la vini deja tankou granprèt k'ap bay benediksyon ki gen pou vini yo. Tant kote l'ap fè sèvis li a pi gwo, pi bon lontan. Se pa moun ki te bati li. Tant sa a pa fè pati bagay ki sou latè.
12 Kris la pase nan tant lan, li antre kote yo mete apa pou Bondye a, li ofri san an yon sèl fwa devan Bondye epi li fini. Lè sa a, se pa t' san bouk kabrit ni san ti towo bèf li te ofri. Se san pa l' menm li te ofri. Se sak fè li antre yon sèl fwa a devan Bondye, li tou peye pou l' te ka delivre nou pou tout tan.
13 Si yo ka pran san bouk kabrit ak san towo bèf ansanm ak san vyann ti gazèl bèf yo boule sou lotèl la pou voye sou moun ki mete tèt yo nan kondisyon yo pa ka sèvi Bondye dapre lalwa, pou mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo fè sèvis Bondye,
14 nou pa bezwen mande kisa san Kris la p'ap fè. Avèk pouvwa Sentespri ki la tout tan an, li menm li ofri tèt li bay Bondye tankou yon ofrann bèt ki bon nèt, san okenn defo. Se konsa, san l' ap lave konsyans nou, l'ap delivre nou anba esklavaj lalwa k'ap touye nou an pou nou ka sèvi Bondye vivan an.
15 ¶ Se poutèt sa, Kris la se yon avoka ki tabli yon nouvo kontra ant Bondye ak lèzòm. Konsa, moun Bondye rele yo, yo ka resevwa eritaj ki la pou tout tan an, jan Bondye te pwomèt la. Tou sa, paske Kris la mouri. Avèk mouri li mouri a, li delivre tout moun anba chenn peche yo te fè sou premye kontra a.
16 Lè gen yon kontra osinon yon testaman, se pou yo bay prèv moun ki te fè l' la mouri byen mouri.
17 Paske, yon testaman pa vo anyen toutotan moun ki fè l' la vivan toujou. Lè moun ki fè l' la mouri, se lè sa a testaman an bon.
18 Se poutèt sa, menm pou premye kontra a se apre yo te fin fè san bèt yo te ofri yo koule li te bon.
19 Premye bagay Moyiz te fè, li te li tout kòmandman yo bay pèp la, jan sa ye nan lalwa a. Apre sa, li pran san ti towo bèf yo ak san bouk kabrit yo, li mele l' ak dlo, li pran yon branch izòp ak yon moso lenn wouj, li wouze Liv lalwa a ansanm ak tout pèp la avèk melanj la.
20 Lè sa a, li di: Sa se san ki sèvi pou siyen kontra Bondye mande pou nou kenbe a.
21 Moyiz voye san an sou tout tant lan, sou tout bagay ki sèvi nan tant lan.
22 Dapre lalwa, san an mete prèske tout bagay nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Si san pa koule, nanpwen padon pou peche yo.
23 ¶ Tout bagay sa yo se kopye Moyiz te kopye yo sou bagay tout bon ki nan syèl la. Si se pou yo te mete tout bagay sa yo ki yon senp pòtre bagay tout bon yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye konsa, bagay ki nan syèl la menm mande yon pi gwo kalite ofrann bèt toujou.
24 Kris la pa t' antre nan yon kay moun te bati pou Bondye sou modèl kay Bondye a. Li antre nan syèl la menm, kote li kanpe koulye a devan Bondye pou nou.
25 Granprèt jwif yo antre chak lanne nan kote ki apa pou Bondye menm lan avèk san bèt yo touye bay Bondye. Men, Kris la menm pa antre plizyè fwa pou ofri tèt li.
26 Si se pa t' sa, li ta blije soufri plizyè fwa tou depi lè Bondye te kreye tout bagay. Men, koulye a, lè tout bagay prèt pou fini, li parèt yon sèl fwa, li bay tèt li tankou bèt yo ofri pou wete tout peche, epi li fini.
27 Tout moun gen pou mouri yon sèl fwa, apre sa, Bondye gen pou jije yo.
28 Konsa tou, Kris la ofri tèt li pou li mouri yon sèl fwa pou wete peche anpil moun. Li gen pou l' tounen yon dezyèm fwa. Men, lè sa a, se p'ap pou wete peche nou, se va pou delivre tout moun k'ap tann li yo.
10 ¶ Lalwa Moyiz la pa t' menm yon bon pòtre bagay ki la tout bon yo. Se yon senp lonbraj benediksyon ki gen pou vini yo li ye. Moun ki pwoche bò kote Bondye avèk menm kalite ofrann bèt y'ap plede ofri chak lanne san rete a, moun sa yo, lalwa pa ka fè yo vin bon nèt.
2 Si moun ki fè sèvis sa yo pou Bondye te lave tout bon anba peche yo, yo pa ta santi yo koupab okenn peche ankò. Yo ta sispann fè ofrann bèt pou touye.
3 Men, okontrè, chak lanne bèt yo touye yo fè moun yo chonje jan yo peche.
4 Tou sa, paske san bouk ak san jenn towo bèf p'ap janm ka wete peche moun.
5 Se poutèt sa, lè Kris la tapral vin sou latè, li di Bondye: Ou pa bezwen yo fè okenn ofrann bèt pou yo touye pou ou, ni pou yo fè ou kado anyen. Men, ou ban m' yon kò.
6 Se pa ofrann vyann bèt yo boule sou lotèl la k'ap fè ou plezi. Ni se pa ofrann bèt yo touye pou wete peche yo k'ap fè ou plezi.
7 ¶ Lè sa a, mwen di: Men mwen, Bondye. Mwen vin pou fè volonte ou, jan sa ekri sou mwen nan liv lalwa a.
8 Premye bagay li di se: Ou pa bezwen yo fè okenn ofrann bèt pou yo touye pou ou, ni pou yo fè ou kado anyen, ni ofrann vyann bèt yo boule sou lotèl la, ni ofrann bèt yo touye pou wete peche yo: bagay sa yo pa fè ou plezi. Men, tout ofrann bèt sa yo, se yo lalwa Moyiz la mande.
9 Apre sa, li di: Men mwen, Bondye. Mwen vin pou fè volonte ou. Konsa, Bondye aboli tout ansyen ofrann bèt yo, li ranplase yo ak ofrann Kris la menm.
10 Kifè nou netwaye anba peche nou yo, se paske Jezikri te fè tou sa Bondye te vle, li ofri kò pa li bay Bondye yon sèl fwa, epi l' fini.
11 Pou prèt jwif yo, se chak jou pou yo kanpe ap fè sèvis yo. Y'ap plede ofri menm sakrifis yo plizyè fwa. Men, sakrifis sa yo p'ap janm ka wete peche.
12 Men, Kris la pou tèt pa l' fè yon sèl ofrann san pou tout peche yo, yon ofrann san ki bon pou tout tan. Apre sa, li chita sou bò dwat Bondye.
13 Koulye a, se la l'ap tann Bondye mete tout lènmi l' yo tankou yon ti ban pou lonje pye li.
14 Konsa, avèk sèl ofrann li fè a, li fè moun li netwaye anba peche yo bon nèt pou tout tan.
15 Se sa Sentespri di nou tou. Paske, lè li fin di:
16 Men kontra mwen pral fè ak yo apre jou sa yo. Se Bondye menm ki di sa. M'a mete lwa m' yo nan kè yo, m'a make lwa m' yo nan lespri yo.
17 Apre sa, li di: Mwen p'ap janm chonje ni peche yo, ni sa yo fè ki mal.
18 Konsa, lè Bondye fin padonnen peche yo, pa gen nesesite pou yo fè ofrann ankò pou wete peche.
19 ¶ Konsa, frè m' yo, gremesi san Kris la ki koule lè li mouri pou nou an, nou gen antre lib kote yo mete apa pou Bondye a.
20 Kris la louvri yon chemen nèf pou nou, yon chemen k'ap ban nou lavi, yon chemen ki pase nan mitan vwal la, sa vle di: nan kò l' menm.
21 Nou gen yon granprèt ki reskonsab tout kay Bondye a.
22 Ann pwoche bò kot Bondye ak tout kè nou, ak yon konfyans byen chita, san nou pa gen anyen nan kè nou ki pou boulvèse konsyans nou, kò nou menm byen netwaye nan yon dlo byen pwòp.
23 Ann kenbe espwa nou genyen an byen fèm. Paske, nou mèt sèten, Bondye ap kenbe pwomès li.
24 Se pou nou yonn veye sou lòt pou yonn ka ede lòt gen renmen nan kè nou, pou yonn ka ankouraje lòt nan fè sa ki byen.
25 Pa pran egzanp sou moun ki pran abitid pa vin nan reyinyon nou yo. Okontrè, se pou yonn ankouraje lòt fè sa, koulye a pi plis pase anvan, paske nou wè jou Seyè a ap pwoche.
26 Si, apre nou fin konn verite a, nou toujou ap fè sa nou konnen ki mal, pa gen ofrann bèt ki ka wete peche sa yo.
27 Nou mèt pè kont kò nou. Yon sèl bagay ki rete pou nou fè, se rete tann jijman an ansanm ak gwo dife ki gen pou vin detwi tout lènmi Bondye yo.
28 Lè yon moun te dezobeyi lalwa Moyiz la, depi te gen de osinon twa moun ki vin depoze kont li, se touye pou yo te touye l' san pitye.
29 Nou pa bezwen mande kisa ki va rive yon moun k'ap meprize Pitit Bondye a, yon moun ki pran san Pitit Bondye a pou anyen, san ki sèvi pou siyen kontra Bondye a, san ki mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a, san ki mete nou apa pou Bondye a. Wi, nou pa bezwen mande kisa ki va rive yon moun k'ap joure Lespri Bondye ki ban nou favè li a. Nou tou konnen li merite yon pi gwo chatiman.
30 Nou menm, nou konnen moun ki te di: Se mwen menm sèl ki gen dwa tire revanj, se mwen menm sèl ki va bay moun sa yo merite. Se li menm tou ki te di: Bondye gen pou l' jije pèp li a.
31 Aaa! Se yon bagay terib wi, pou yon moun tonbe anba men Bondye vivan an!
32 Chonje sa ki te rive nou nan tan lontan. Lè sa a, nou te fèk fin resevwa limyè Bondye a, nou te soufri anpil. Men, nou te kenbe fèm nan batay la.
33 Yon lè, se nou menm yo t'ap joure, yo t'ap maltrete devan tout moun. Yon lòt lè, se nou menm, pou tèt pa nou, ki te al pran pou moun yo t'ap joure yo, pou moun yo t'ap maltrete yo.
34 Nou te soufri ansanm ak tout moun ki te nan prizon. Menm lè yo te sezi tout byen nou yo, nou te kontan asepte pèdi yo, paske nou te konnen nou gen yon richès ki pi bon, k'ap la pou tout tan.
35 Pa pèdi lasirans nou te genyen an. Paske, gen yon gwo rekonpans ladan li.
36 Men, nou bezwen pasyans pou nou ka fè sa Bondye vle, pou nou ka resevwa sa l' te pwomèt la.
37 Paske, men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Nan yon ti tan ankò, pa gen pou lontan menm, Moun ki gen pou vini an ap vini. Li p'ap pran reta ankò.
38 Moun mwen fè gras la ap viv, paske li gen konfyans nan mwen. Men, si l' vire do l' tounen fè bak, li p'ap fè kè m' kontan.
39 Nou menm, nou p'ap fè tankou moun sa yo k'ap twenn dèyè, k'ap pèdi tèt yo. N'ap fè tankou moun ki gen fèm konfyans nan Bondye, moun k'ap delivre nanm yo.
Hebrews 7-10
New International Version
Hebrews 7-10
New International Version
Melchizedek the Priest
7 This Melchizedek was king of Salem(A) and priest of God Most High.(B) He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,(C) 2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” 3 Without father or mother, without genealogy,(D) without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God,(E) he remains a priest forever.
4 Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch(F) Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!(G) 5 Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people(H)—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham. 6 This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed(I) him who had the promises.(J) 7 And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater. 8 In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.(K) 9 One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, 10 because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.
Jesus Like Melchizedek
11 If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people(L) established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come,(M) one in the order of Melchizedek,(N) not in the order of Aaron? 12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also. 13 He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe,(O) and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar.(P) 14 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah,(Q) and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. 15 And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, 16 one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is declared:
18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless(S) 19 (for the law made nothing perfect),(T) and a better hope(U) is introduced, by which we draw near to God.(V)
20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, 21 but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him:
22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.(Y)
23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.(Z) 25 Therefore he is able to save(AA) completely[c] those who come to God(AB) through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.(AC)
26 Such a high priest(AD) truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,(AE) exalted above the heavens.(AF) 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices(AG) day after day, first for his own sins,(AH) and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all(AI) when he offered himself.(AJ) 28 For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness;(AK) but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son,(AL) who has been made perfect(AM) forever.
The High Priest of a New Covenant
8 Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest,(AN) who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,(AO) 2 and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle(AP) set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
3 Every high priest(AQ) is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices,(AR) and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.(AS) 4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.(AT) 5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy(AU) and shadow(AV) of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned(AW) when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”[d](AX) 6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant(AY) of which he is mediator(AZ) is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.(BA) 8 But God found fault with the people and said[e]:
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant(BB)
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
9 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors(BC)
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10 This is the covenant(BD) I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.(BE)
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.(BF)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,(BG)
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.(BH)”[f](BI)
13 By calling this covenant “new,”(BJ) he has made the first one obsolete;(BK) and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
Worship in the Earthly Tabernacle
9 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.(BL) 2 A tabernacle(BM) was set up. In its first room were the lampstand(BN) and the table(BO) with its consecrated bread;(BP) this was called the Holy Place.(BQ) 3 Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,(BR) 4 which had the golden altar of incense(BS) and the gold-covered ark of the covenant.(BT) This ark contained the gold jar of manna,(BU) Aaron’s staff that had budded,(BV) and the stone tablets of the covenant.(BW) 5 Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory,(BX) overshadowing the atonement cover.(BY) But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
6 When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly(BZ) into the outer room to carry on their ministry. 7 But only the high priest entered(CA) the inner room,(CB) and that only once a year,(CC) and never without blood,(CD) which he offered for himself(CE) and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.(CF) 8 The Holy Spirit was showing(CG) by this that the way(CH) into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. 9 This is an illustration(CI) for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered(CJ) were not able to clear the conscience(CK) of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food(CL) and drink(CM) and various ceremonial washings(CN)—external regulations(CO) applying until the time of the new order.
The Blood of Christ
11 But when Christ came as high priest(CP) of the good things that are now already here,[g](CQ) he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle(CR) that is not made with human hands,(CS) that is to say, is not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;(CT) but he entered the Most Holy Place(CU) once for all(CV) by his own blood,(CW) thus obtaining[h] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls(CX) and the ashes of a heifer(CY) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit(CZ) offered himself(DA) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(DB) from acts that lead to death,[i](DC) so that we may serve the living God!(DD)
15 For this reason Christ is the mediator(DE) of a new covenant,(DF) that those who are called(DG) may receive the promised(DH) eternal inheritance(DI)—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.(DJ)
16 In the case of a will,[j] it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. 18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.(DK) 19 When Moses had proclaimed(DL) every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves,(DM) together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.(DN) 20 He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”[k](DO) 21 In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. 22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood,(DP) and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.(DQ)
23 It was necessary, then, for the copies(DR) of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one;(DS) he entered heaven itself,(DT) now to appear for us in God’s presence.(DU) 25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place(DV) every year with blood that is not his own.(DW) 26 Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world.(DX) But he has appeared(DY) once for all(DZ) at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.(EA) 27 Just as people are destined to die once,(EB) and after that to face judgment,(EC) 28 so Christ was sacrificed once(ED) to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time,(EE) not to bear sin,(EF) but to bring salvation(EG) to those who are waiting for him.(EH)
Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All
10 The law is only a shadow(EI) of the good things(EJ) that are coming—not the realities themselves.(EK) For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect(EL) those who draw near to worship.(EM) 2 Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.(EN) 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.(EO) 4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats(EP) to take away sins.(EQ)
5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world,(ER) he said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;(ES)
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll(ET)—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”[l](EU)
8 First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”(EV)—though they were offered in accordance with the law. 9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”(EW) He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy(EX) through the sacrifice of the body(EY) of Jesus Christ once for all.(EZ)
11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,(FA) which can never take away sins.(FB) 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,(FC) he sat down at the right hand of God,(FD) 13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.(FE) 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect(FF) forever those who are being made holy.(FG)
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies(FH) to us about this. First he says:
16 “This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”[m](FI)
17 Then he adds:
18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
A Call to Persevere in Faith
19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence(FK) to enter the Most Holy Place(FL) by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way(FM) opened for us through the curtain,(FN) that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest(FO) over the house of God,(FP) 22 let us draw near to God(FQ) with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings,(FR) having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience(FS) and having our bodies washed with pure water.(FT) 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope(FU) we profess,(FV) for he who promised is faithful.(FW) 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,(FX) 25 not giving up meeting together,(FY) as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another(FZ)—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.(GA)
26 If we deliberately keep on sinning(GB) after we have received the knowledge of the truth,(GC) no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire(GD) that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.(GE) 29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God(GF) underfoot,(GG) who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant(GH) that sanctified them,(GI) and who has insulted the Spirit(GJ) of grace?(GK) 30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[o](GL) and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”[p](GM) 31 It is a dreadful thing(GN) to fall into the hands(GO) of the living God.(GP)
32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light,(GQ) when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.(GR) 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution;(GS) at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.(GT) 34 You suffered along with those in prison(GU) and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.(GV) 35 So do not throw away your confidence;(GW) it will be richly rewarded.
36 You need to persevere(GX) so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.(GY) 37 For,
38 And,
“But my righteous[r] one will live by faith.(HB)
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back.”[s](HC)
39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
