Hebrews 8
New International Version
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,(A) who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,(B) 2 and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle(C) set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
3 Every high priest(D) is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices,(E) and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.(F) 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.(G) 5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy(H) and shadow(I) of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned(J) when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”[a](K) 6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant(L) of which he is mediator(M) 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.(N) 8 But God found fault with the people and said[b]:
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant(O)
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
9 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors(P)
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(Q) 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.(R)
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.(S)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,(T)
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.(U)”[c](V)
13 By calling this covenant “new,”(W) he has made the first one obsolete;(X) and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Si Cristo ang Ating Punong Pari
8 Ito ang ibig kong sabihin: Mayroon na tayo ngayong punong pari na nakaupo sa kanan ng trono ng Kataas-taasang Dios sa langit. 2 Naglilingkod siya bilang punong pari sa Pinakabanal na Lugar na hindi tao ang gumawa kundi ang Panginoon mismo. 3 Ang bawat punong pari ay itinalagang mag-alay ng mga handog at kaloob, kaya kailangan na may ihandog din ang punong pari natin. 4 Kung nandito pa siya sa lupa, hindi siya maaaring maging pari dahil mayroon nang mga paring nag-aalay ng mga handog ayon sa Kautusan. 5 Ang pag-aalay na ginagawa nila ay anino lang ng mga bagay na nangyayari roon sa langit. Sapagkat nang itatayo na ni Moises ang Toldang Sambahan, mahigpit siyang pinagbilinan ng Dios, “Kailangang sundin mo ang planong ipinakita ko sa iyo sa bundok.”[a] 6 Ngunit higit na dakila ang mga gawain ni Jesus bilang punong pari kaysa sa mga gawain ng mga pari, dahil siya ang tagapamagitan ng isang kasunduang higit na mabuti kaysa sa nauna. At nakasalalay ito sa mas mabubuting pangako ng Dios.
7 Kung walang kakulangan ang unang kasunduan, hindi na sana kailangan pang palitan. 8 Ngunit nakita ng Dios ang pagkukulang ng mga taong sumusunod sa unang kasunduan, kaya sinabi niya,
“Darating ang panahon na gagawa ako ng bagong kasunduan sa mga taga-Israel at taga-Juda.
9 Hindi ito katulad ng kasunduang ginawa ko sa mga ninuno nila noong akayin ko sila palabas sa Egipto.
Hindi nila sinunod ang unang kasunduang ibinigay ko sa kanila, kaya pinabayaan ko sila.”
10 Sinabi pa ng Panginoon,
“Ito ang bagong kasunduan na gagawin ko sa mga mamamayan ng Israel pagdating ng araw na iyon:
Itatanim ko sa isipan nila ang mga utos ko, at isusulat ko ang mga ito sa mga puso nila.
Ako ang magiging Dios nila, at sila naman ang magiging bayan ko.
11 Hindi na nila kailangan pang turuan ang mga kababayan o kapatid nila na kilalanin ang Panginoon.
Sapagkat kikilalanin nila akong lahat, mula sa pinakamababa hanggang sa pinakadakila.
12 Sapagkat patatawarin ko ang kasamaan nila at lilimutin ko na ang mga kasalanan nila.”[b]
13 Nang sabihin ng Dios na may bago nang kasunduan, malinaw na pinawalang-bisa na niya ang nauna, at ang anumang wala nang bisa at luma na ay mawawala na lamang.
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.
