希伯来书 8
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶穌是更美的約的中保
8 我們所講論的重點，就是我們有這樣的一位大祭司，他已經坐在眾天之上至尊者的寶座右邊， 2 在至聖所和真會幕裡供職；這真會幕是主支搭的，不是人支搭的。 3 所有大祭司都是為了獻禮物和祭品而設立的，所以這位大祭司，也必須有所獻上的。 4 如果他在地上，就不會作祭司，因為已經有按照律法獻禮物的祭司了。 5 這些祭司所供奉的職事，不過是天上的事物的副本和影像，就如摩西將要造會幕的時候， 神曾經警告他說：“你要留心，各樣物件，都要照著在山上指示你的樣式去作。” 6 但是現在耶穌得了更尊貴的職分，正好像他是更美的約的中保，這約是憑著更美的應許立的。 7 如果頭一個約沒有缺點，就沒有尋求另一個約的必要了。 8 可是 神指責他們，說：
“看哪，主說，日子要到了，
我要與以色列家
和猶大家訂立新約。
9 這新約不像從前我拉他們祖先的手，
領他們出埃及的日子與他們所立的約。
因為他們沒有遵守我的約，
我就不理會他們。這是主說的。
10 主說：‘因為在那些日子以後，
我要與以色列家所立的約是這樣：
我要把我的律法放在他們的心思裡面，
寫在他們的心上。
我要作他們的 神，
他們要作我的子民。
11 他們各人必不用教導自己的鄰居，
和自己的同胞，說：
你要認識主。
因為所有的人，從最小到最大的，
都必認識我。
12 我也要寬恕他們的不義，
決不再記著他們的罪惡。’”
13 神既然說到新的約，就是把前約當作舊的了；那變成陳舊衰老的，就快要消逝了。
Hebrews 8
Good News Translation
Jesus Our High Priest
8 (A)The whole point of what we are saying is that we have such a High Priest, who sits at the right of the throne of the Divine Majesty in heaven. 2 He serves as high priest in the Most Holy Place, that is, in the real tent which was put up by the Lord, not by human hands.
3 Every high priest is appointed to present offerings and animal sacrifices to God, and so our High Priest must also have something to offer. 4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer the gifts required by the Jewish Law. 5 (B)The work they do as priests is really only a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. It is the same as it was with Moses. When he was about to build the Sacred Tent, God told him, “Be sure to make everything according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain.” 6 But now, Jesus has been given priestly work which is superior to theirs, just as the covenant which he arranged between God and his people is a better one, because it is based on promises of better things.
7 If there had been nothing wrong with the first covenant, there would have been no need for a second one. 8 (C)But God finds fault with his people when he says,
“The days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will draw up a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people 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 and led them out of Egypt.
They were not faithful to the covenant I made with them,
and so I paid no attention to them.
10 Now, this is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel
in the days to come, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
11 None of them will have to teach their friends
or tell their neighbors,
‘Know the Lord.’
For they will all know me,
from the least to the greatest.
12 I will forgive their sins
and will no longer remember their wrongs.”
13 By speaking of a new covenant, God has made the first one old; and anything that becomes old and worn out will soon disappear.
Hebrews 8
New King James Version
The New Priestly Service
8 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, (A)who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a Minister of (B)the [a]sanctuary and of (C)the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.
3 For (D)every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore (E)it is necessary that this One also have something to offer. 4 For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; 5 who serve (F)the copy and (G)shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, (H)“See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” 6 But now (I)He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a (J)better covenant, which was established on better promises.
A New Covenant(K)
7 For if that (L)first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: (M)“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the (N)Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and (O)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 (P)None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the (Q)Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, (R)and their sins [b]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
13 (S)In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
