希伯來書 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
更美之約的大祭司
8 我們所講的要點是:我們有這樣一位大祭司,祂現在已經坐在天上至高上帝的寶座右邊, 2 並在聖所裡供職。這聖所就是真正的聖幕,不是人建立的,而是主親手建立的。 3 所有的大祭司都是為了向上帝獻禮物和祭物而設立的,因此我們這位大祭司也必須有所獻上。 4 祂如果是在地上,根本不會做祭司,因為地上已經有照律法向上帝獻禮物的祭司了。 5 這些祭司的事奉都是仿效和反映天上的事,正如摩西建聖幕的時候,上帝指示他說:
「你務要照著在山上指示你的樣式造各樣的器具。」
6 但如今,基督得到了一個更超越的職任,正如祂擔任了更美之約的中保,這約是根據更美的應許所立的。 7 因為如果第一個約沒有缺點,就不必另立新約了。 8 然而,上帝指責祂的百姓,說:
「看啊,時候將到,
我要與以色列家和猶大家另立新約,
9 這約不同於我與他們祖先所立的約,
就是我牽著他們祖先的手領他們離開埃及時所立的。
因為他們不持守我的約,
所以我不再理會他們。
這是主說的。
10 主又說,那些日子以後,
我將與以色列家立這樣的約,
我要把我的律法放在他們腦中,
寫在他們心上。
我要作他們的上帝,
他們要作我的子民。
11 誰都無需再教導自己的鄰居和弟兄,
說,『你要認識主。』
因為他們無論尊卑都必認識我。
12 我要赦免他們的過犯,
忘掉他們的罪惡。」
13 上帝既然說要立新約,就是把以前的約當作舊的了,那漸漸過時、陳舊的東西很快就會消失。

“看啊,时候将到,

因为他们无论尊卑都必认识我。
12 我要赦免他们的过犯,
忘掉他们的罪恶。”
13 上帝既然说要立新约,就是把以前的约当作旧的了,那渐渐过时、陈旧的东西很快就会消失。
Hebrews 8
Common English Bible
Meeting tents, sacrifices, and covenants
8 Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We have this kind of high priest. He sat down at the right side of the throne of the majesty in the heavens. 2 He’s serving as a priest in the holy place, which is the true meeting tent that God, not any human being, set up. 3 Every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. So it’s necessary for this high priest also to have something to offer. 4 If he was located on earth, he wouldn’t be a priest because there are already others who offer gifts based on the Law. 5 They serve in a place that is a copy and shadow of the heavenly meeting tent. This is indicated when Moses was warned by God when he was about to set up the meeting tent: See that you follow the pattern that I showed you on the mountain in every detail.[a] 6 But now, Jesus has received a superior priestly service just as he arranged a better covenant that is enacted with better promises.
7 If the first covenant had been without fault, it wouldn’t have made sense to expect a second. 8 But God did find fault with them, since he says,
Look, the days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a covenant with the house of Israel,
and I will make a new covenant with the house of Judah.
9 It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors
on the day I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt,
because they did not continue to keep my covenant,
and I lost interest in them, says the Lord.
10 This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord.
I will place my laws in their minds,
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
11 And each person won’t ever teach a neighbor
or their brother or sister, saying, “Know the Lord,”
because they will all know me,
from the least important of them to the most important;
12 because I will be lenient toward their unjust actions,
and I won’t remember their sins anymore.[b]
13 When it says new, it makes the first obsolete. And if something is old and outdated, it’s close to disappearing.
