希伯来书 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
更美之约的大祭司
8 我们所讲的要点是：我们有这样一位大祭司，祂现在已经坐在天上至高上帝的宝座右边， 2 并在圣所里供职。这圣所就是真正的圣幕，不是人建立的，而是主亲手建立的。 3 所有的大祭司都是为了向上帝献礼物和祭物而设立的，因此我们这位大祭司也必须有所献上。 4 祂如果是在地上，根本不会做祭司，因为地上已经有照律法向上帝献礼物的祭司了。 5 这些祭司的事奉都是仿效和反映天上的事，正如摩西建圣幕的时候，上帝指示他说：
“你务要照着在山上指示你的样式造各样的器具。”
6 但如今，基督得到了一个更超越的职任，正如祂担任了更美之约的中保，这约是根据更美的应许所立的。 7 因为如果第一个约没有缺点，就不必另立新约了。 8 然而，上帝指责祂的百姓，说：
“看啊，时候将到，
我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约，
9 这约不同于我与他们祖先所立的约，
就是我牵着他们祖先的手领他们离开埃及时所立的。
因为他们不持守我的约，
所以我不再理会他们。
这是主说的。
10 主又说，那些日子以后，
我将与以色列家立这样的约，
我要把我的律法放在他们脑中，
写在他们心上。
我要做他们的上帝，
他们要做我的子民。
11 谁都无需再教导自己的邻居和弟兄，
说，‘你要认识主。’
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。

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。
Hebrews 8
Complete Jewish Bible
8 Here is the whole point of what we have been saying: we do have just such a cohen gadol as has been described. And he does sit at the right hand of HaG’dulah in heaven.[a] 2 There he serves in the Holy Place, that is, in the true Tent of Meeting, the one erected not by human beings but by Adonai.
3 For every cohen gadol is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so this cohen gadol too has to have something he can offer. 4 Now if he were on earth, he wouldn’t be a cohen at all, since there already are cohanim offering the gifts required by the Torah. 5 But what they are serving is only a copy and shadow of the heavenly original; for when Moshe was about to erect the Tent, God warned him, “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain.”[b]
6 But now the work Yeshua has been given to do is far superior to theirs, just as the covenant he mediates is better. For this covenant has been given as Torah on the basis of better promises. 7 Indeed, if the first covenant had not given ground for faultfinding, there would have been no need for a second one. 8 For God does find fault with the people when he says,
“‘See! The days are coming,’ says Adonai,
‘when I will establish
over the house of Isra’el and over the house of Y’hudah
a new covenant.
9 “‘It will not be like the covenant
which I made with their fathers
on the day when I took them by their hand
and led them forth out of the land of Egypt;
because they, for their part,
did not remain faithful to my covenant;
so I, for my part,
stopped concerning myself with them,’
says Adonai.
10 “‘For this is the covenant which I will make
with the house of Isra’el after those days,’
says Adonai:
‘I will put my Torah in their minds
and write it on their hearts;
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
11 “‘None of them will teach his fellow-citizen
or his brother, saying, “Know Adonai!”
For all will know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,
12 because I will be merciful toward their wickednesses
and remember their sins no more.’”[c]
13 By using the term, “new,” he has made the first covenant “old”; and something being made old, something in the process of aging, is on its way to vanishing altogether.
