希伯來書 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
舊約敬拜的禮儀
9 舊約有敬拜的禮儀和地上的聖幕。 2 建成後的聖幕共分兩間,外面的一間稱為聖所,擺設了燈臺、桌子和聖餅。 3 在第二道幔子後面的那一間叫至聖所, 4 裡面有純金的香壇和包金的約櫃。約櫃裡珍藏著盛嗎哪的金罐、亞倫那根發過芽的手杖和兩塊刻著十誡的石版, 5 上面有榮耀的基路伯天使,高展翅膀蓋著約櫃上面的施恩座。關於這些事,現在不能一一細說。
6 這些東西都齊備了,祭司們便經常進入聖所,舉行敬拜。 7 可是,只有大祭司有資格每年一次獨自進入至聖所,而且每次都要端著血進去,為自己和以色列人的過犯獻上。 8 聖靈藉此指明,只要頭一個聖幕還在,進入至聖所的路就還沒有開啟。 9 這件事是一個象徵,告訴現今的世代:所獻的禮物和祭物都不能使敬拜的人良心純全, 10 因為這些不過是關於飲食和各樣潔淨禮儀的外在規條,等新秩序的時代一到,便不再有效了。
美好新約
11 現在基督已經來到,作了美好新約的大祭司,祂進入了那更偉大、更全備、非人手建造、不屬於這個世界的聖幕。 12 祂只進入至聖所一次便完成了永遠的救贖,用的不是山羊和牛犢的血,而是自己的血。 13 如果把山羊血、公牛血和母牛犢的灰灑在污穢的人[a]身上,就可以使他們聖潔,身體得到潔淨, 14 更何況基督藉著永恆的靈把自己毫無瑕疵地獻給上帝呢?祂的血豈不更能洗淨我們的良心,使我們脫離導致滅亡的行為,以便事奉永活的上帝嗎?
15 因此,祂是新約的中保,藉著死亡救贖了觸犯舊約的人,好叫那些蒙召的人得到所應許的永恆基業。
16 凡是遺囑[b],必須等到立遺囑的人死了以後才能生效。 17 如果立遺囑的人依然健在,遺囑就不能生效。 18 正因如此,連立舊約也需要用血才能生效。 19 摩西依照律法向猶太人頒佈所有誡命之後,便用紅色的羊毛和牛膝草蘸了牛犢和山羊的血以及水,灑在律法書和百姓身上, 20 說:「這是上帝用來與你們立約的血。」 21 他又照樣把血灑在聖幕和所有用來獻祭的器具上。 22 根據律法,幾乎所有的器具都要用血來潔淨,因為若不流血,罪就得不到赦免。
23 既然仿照天上的樣式所造的器具需要用祭牲的血來潔淨,天上的原物當然要用更美的祭物來潔淨。 24 因為基督並非進入了人手所造的聖所,那只是真聖所的縮影,祂是進入了天堂,替我們來到上帝面前。 25 祂在天上不必一次又一次地把自己獻上,好像那些大祭司年年都帶著牛羊的血進入至聖所。 26 否則,自創世以來,祂不知道要受難多少次了。但如今在這世代的末期,祂只一次獻上自己,便除去了人的罪。 27 按著定命,人人都有一死,死後還有審判。 28 同樣,基督為了承擔世人的罪,也曾一次獻上自己。祂還要再來,不是來除罪,而是來拯救那些熱切等候祂的人。
Hebreos 9
Reina Valera Contemporánea
9 Ahora bien, incluso el primer pacto tenía reglas para el culto, y un santuario terrenal. 2 En efecto, el tabernáculo(A) estaba dispuesto así: en la primera parte, llamada el Lugar Santo, estaban el candelabro,(B) la mesa y los panes de la proposición.(C) 3 Tras el segundo velo estaba la parte del tabernáculo llamada el Lugar Santísimo,(D) 4 el cual tenía un incensario de oro(E) y el arca del pacto, totalmente recubierta de oro;(F) en el arca había una urna de oro que contenía el maná,(G) la vara de Aarón que reverdeció,(H) y las tablas del pacto.(I) 5 Por encima del arca estaban los querubines de la gloria, los cuales cubrían el propiciatorio.(J) Pero de esto no se puede hablar ahora en detalle.
6 Con todo esto dispuesto así, los sacerdotes entran continuamente en la primera parte del tabernáculo para celebrar los oficios del culto;(K) 7 pero en la segunda parte entra únicamente el sumo sacerdote, y esto sólo una vez al año, y siempre llevando sangre, la cual ofrece por sí mismo y por los pecados involuntarios que el pueblo comete.(L) 8 Con esto el Espíritu Santo nos da a entender que, mientras la primera parte del tabernáculo siga en pie, el camino que lleva al Lugar Santísimo aún no estará abierto. 9 Todo esto es un símbolo para el tiempo presente, de que las ofrendas y sacrificios que allí se presentan no pueden perfeccionar la conciencia de los que adoran así, 10 ya que tienen que ver sólo con comidas y bebidas, y con diversas ceremonias de purificación y ordenanzas externas, cuyo valor tiene vigencia hasta que llegue el tiempo de reformarlo todo.
11 Pero Cristo vino ya, y es el sumo sacerdote de los bienes venideros, a través del tabernáculo más amplio y más perfecto, el cual no ha sido hecho por los hombres, es decir, que no es de esta creación, 12 y no por medio de la sangre de machos cabríos ni de becerros, sino por medio de su propia sangre. Entró una sola vez y para siempre en el Lugar Santísimo, y así obtuvo para nosotros la redención eterna. 13 Si la sangre de los toros y de los machos cabríos,(M) y las cenizas de la becerra(N) rociadas sobre los impuros, santifican para la purificación de la carne, 14 ¡cuánto más la sangre de Cristo, que por medio del Espíritu eterno se ofreció a sí mismo sin mancha a Dios, limpiará de obras muertas nuestra conciencia, para que sirvamos al Dios vivo!
15 Por eso Cristo es mediador de un nuevo pacto,[a] para que los llamados reciban la promesa de la herencia eterna, pues con su muerte libera a los hombres de los pecados cometidos bajo el primer pacto. 16 Porque cuando hay un testamento,[b] es necesario que haya constancia de la muerte del que lo hizo, 17 ya que un testamento no tiene ningún valor mientras el que lo hizo siga con vida. 18 Por eso, ni siquiera el primer pacto se estableció sin sangre, 19 porque después de que Moisés anunció todos los mandamientos de la ley a todo el pueblo, tomó la sangre de los becerros y de los machos cabríos junto con agua, lana escarlata y una rama de hisopo, y roció el libro de la ley y a todo el pueblo. 20 Entonces le dijo al pueblo: «Ésta es la sangre del pacto que Dios les ha mandado.»(O) 21 Además de esto, con la sangre roció también el tabernáculo y todos los vasos del ministerio.(P) 22 Según la ley, casi todo es purificado con sangre; pues sin derramamiento de sangre no hay perdón.(Q)
El sacrificio de Cristo quita el pecado
23 Por lo tanto, era absolutamente necesario que las réplicas de las cosas celestiales fueran purificadas así; pero las cosas celestiales mismas necesitan mejores sacrificios que éstos, 24 porque Cristo no entró en el santuario hecho por los hombres, el cual era un mero reflejo del verdadero, sino que entró en el cielo mismo para presentarse ahora ante Dios en favor de nosotros. 25 Y no entró para ofrecerse muchas veces, como el sumo sacerdote, que cada año entra en el Lugar Santísimo con sangre ajena. 26 Si así fuera, Cristo habría tenido que morir muchas veces desde la creación del mundo; pero ahora, al final de los tiempos, se presentó una sola vez y para siempre, y se ofreció a sí mismo como sacrificio para quitar el pecado. 27 Y así como está establecido que los hombres mueran una sola vez, y después venga el juicio, 28 así también Cristo fue ofrecido una sola vez para llevar los pecados de muchos; pero aparecerá por segunda vez, ya sin relación con el pecado, para salvar a los que lo esperan.

New International Version
Worship in the Earthly Tabernacle
9 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.(A) 2 A tabernacle(B) was set up. In its first room were the lampstand(C) and the table(D) with its consecrated bread;(E) this was called the Holy Place.(F) 3 Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,(G) 4 which had the golden altar of incense(H) and the gold-covered ark of the covenant.(I) This ark contained the gold jar of manna,(J) Aaron’s staff that had budded,(K) and the stone tablets of the covenant.(L) 5 Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory,(M) overshadowing the atonement cover.(N) But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
6 When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly(O) into the outer room to carry on their ministry. 7 But only the high priest entered(P) the inner room,(Q) and that only once a year,(R) and never without blood,(S) which he offered for himself(T) and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.(U) 8 The Holy Spirit was showing(V) by this that the way(W) into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. 9 This is an illustration(X) for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered(Y) were not able to clear the conscience(Z) of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food(AA) and drink(AB) and various ceremonial washings(AC)—external regulations(AD) applying until the time of the new order.
The Blood of Christ
11 But when Christ came as high priest(AE) of the good things that are now already here,[a](AF) he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle(AG) that is not made with human hands,(AH) 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;(AI) but he entered the Most Holy Place(AJ) once for all(AK) by his own blood,(AL) thus obtaining[b] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls(AM) and the ashes of a heifer(AN) 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(AO) offered himself(AP) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(AQ) from acts that lead to death,[c](AR) so that we may serve the living God!(AS)
15 For this reason Christ is the mediator(AT) of a new covenant,(AU) that those who are called(AV) may receive the promised(AW) eternal inheritance(AX)—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.(AY)
16 In the case of a will,[d] 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.(AZ) 19 When Moses had proclaimed(BA) every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves,(BB) together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.(BC) 20 He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”[e](BD) 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,(BE) and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.(BF)
23 It was necessary, then, for the copies(BG) 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;(BH) he entered heaven itself,(BI) now to appear for us in God’s presence.(BJ) 25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place(BK) every year with blood that is not his own.(BL) 26 Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world.(BM) But he has appeared(BN) once for all(BO) at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.(BP) 27 Just as people are destined to die once,(BQ) and after that to face judgment,(BR) 28 so Christ was sacrificed once(BS) to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time,(BT) not to bear sin,(BU) but to bring salvation(BV) to those who are waiting for him.(BW)

King James Version
9 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
