希伯来书 8
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
更新更美之约的大祭司
8 我们所讲的事，其中第一要紧的就是：我们有这样一位大祭司，他已经坐在天上至大者宝座的右边， 2 在圣所，就是在真帐幕里作仆役；这帐幕是主所支搭的，不是人所支搭的。 3 凡大祭司都是为献礼物和祭物设立的，所以这位大祭司也必须有所献上。 4 他若在地上，就不用作祭司，因为已经有照律法献礼物的祭司了。 5 他们所供奉的本是天上之事的样式和影像，正如摩西将要造帐幕的时候， 神警戒他，说：“要谨慎，一切都要照着在山上指示你的样式去做。” 6 如今耶稣已经得了更优越的事奉，正如他作更美之约的中保；这约原是凭更美之应许立的。
7 第一个约若没有瑕疵，就无须寻求第二个约了。 8 所以 神指责他们说：
“主说，看哪，日子将到，
我要与以色列家
和犹大家另立新的约；
9 不像我拉着他们祖宗的手
领他们出埃及地的时候，
与他们所立的约；
因为他们不恒心守我的约，
所以我也不理他们；这是主说的。
10 主又说：
那些日子以后，
我与以色列家所立的约是这样：
我要将我的律法放在他们的心思里，
写在他们的心上；
我要作他们的 神，
他们要作我的子民。
11 他们各人不用教导自己的乡亲和自己的弟兄，说：你要认识主；
因为从最小的到最大的，
他们都要认识我。
12 我要宽恕他们的不义，
绝不再记得他们的罪恶。”
13 既然 神提到“新的约”，那么第一个约就成为旧的了；而那渐旧渐衰的必然很快消逝了。
Hebrews 8
New Life Version
8 Now the important thing is this: We have such a Religious Leader Who has made the way for man to go to God. He is the One Who sits at the right side of the All-powerful God in the heavens. 2 He is the Religious Leader of that holy place in heaven which is the true place of worship. It was built by the Lord and not by men’s hands. 3 Every religious leader of the Old Way of Worship had the work of killing animals and of giving gifts on the altar to God. So Christ had to have something to give also. 4 If Christ were on the earth, He would not be a religious leader such as these. The religious leaders on earth give gifts like the Law says. 5 Their work shows us only a picture of the things in heaven. When Moses was putting up the tent to worship in, God told him, “Be sure you make the tent for worship like I showed you on Mount Sinai.” (A)
6 But Christ has a more perfect work. He is the One Who goes between God and man in this new and better way. The New Way of Worship promises better things. 7 If the Old Way of Worship had been perfect, there would have been no need for another one. 8 God was not happy how the people lived by the Old Way of Worship. He said, “The day will come when I will make a New Way of Worship for the Jews and those of the family group of Judah. 9 The New Way of Worship will not be like the Old Way of Worship I gave to their early fathers. That was when I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. But they did not follow the Old Way of Worship. And so I turned away from them. 10 This is the New Way of Worship that I will give to the Jews. When that day comes, says the Lord, I will put My Laws into their minds. And I will write them in their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My people. 11 No one will need to teach his neighbor or his brother to know the Lord. All of them will already know Me from the least to the greatest. 12 I will show loving-kindness to them and forgive their sins. I will remember their sins no more.” (B)
13 When God spoke about a New Way of Worship, He showed that the Old Way of Worship was finished and of no use now. It will never be used again.
