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。

耶稣—我们的大祭司
8 我们现在谈到的重点是：我们有这样一位大祭司，他坐在天堂里伟大的上帝的宝座的右边。 2 他在至圣处 [a]，即真正的圣幕中担任祭司，这个圣幕是上帝建造的，而不是人建造的。
3 所有的大祭司都被指命去奉献礼品和祭物，所以，我们的大祭司也该有所奉献。 4 如果他在地上，他是当不上祭司的，因为已经有按照律法的规定祭献贡品的人了，那么他在地上甚至连个祭司都当不上， 5 但是，那些人所做的工作只是天堂事物的副本就像当时摩西要去建圣幕时受到了上帝警告的那样，他（上帝）说∶“你必须按照我在山上给你看的样式来建造一切。” [b] 6 然而，耶稣得到的祭司职位远超过他们所得到的，就像由他做中间人的契约比旧契约更加优越一样。
7 假如第一个契约无懈可击，那就不需要再有第二个契约取代它了。 8 不过，上帝发现了人们的错误，他说：
“主说，‘我与以色列人和犹大
人定立新誓约的日子就要到了。
9 这个誓约不同于我与他们的祖先们定立的誓约。
那时，我牵着他们的手带领他们离开了埃及的国土，
因为他们没有信守我的誓约，所以我离弃了他们。’
10 ‘这个誓约是在那之后，我将与以色列人订立的。
我要把我的律法装进他们的大脑，
写在他们的心上。
我将是他们的上帝；
他们将是我的子民。
11 一个人没有必要去教导他的同胞与兄弟说：
“去认识主”，
因为他们从最微不足道到最伟大的人都将知道我。
12 因为我将宽恕他们的过错，
也不再记他们的罪过。”
13 他称这个契约为“新约”，使第一个契约过时作废。任何逐渐衰老与过时的事物都即将消亡。

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
Expanded Bible
Jesus Is Our High Priest
8 Here is the [main; most important] point of what we are saying: We have a high priest who sits on the right side of ·God’s [L the Majesty’s] throne in heaven. 2 Our high priest ·serves [ministers; performs priestly service] in the ·Most Holy Place [sanctuary; L holy things], the true ·place of worship [Tabernacle; Holy Tent; Ex. 33:7] that was made by the Lord, not by humans.
3 [L For] Every high priest ·has the work of offering [is appointed to offer] gifts and sacrifices to God. So our high priest must also ·offer something to God [L have something to offer]. 4 If our high priest were now living on earth, he would not be a priest, because there are already priests here who follow the law by offering gifts to God. 5 ·The work they do as priests [or The sanctuary in which they serve] is only a ·copy [model; prototype] and a shadow of what is in heaven. This is why God warned Moses when he was ready to build the ·Holy Tent [T Tabernacle]: “Be very careful to make everything by the ·plan [pattern; design] I showed you on the mountain [Ex. 25:40].” 6 But the priestly ·work [service; ministry] that has been given to Jesus is ·much greater than [far superior to] the work that was given to the other priests. In the same way, the new ·agreement [covenant; contract] that Jesus ·brought from God to his people [L mediates] is much ·greater [better] than the old one. And the new ·agreement [covenant; contract] is ·based [founded; legally enacted] on ·promises of better things [L better promises; C all God’s promises are reliable, but these promises bring greater blessings].
7 If there had been ·nothing wrong [no fault] with the first ·agreement [covenant; contract; C given to Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai], there would have been no ·need for [or reason to look for; or occasion for God to establish] a second ·agreement [L one; C the Mosaic covenant was insufficient because it did not provide true forgiveness of sins; 10:1]. 8 But God ·found something wrong with his people and said [or found fault with the covenant, and said to his people]:[a]
“·Look [T Behold], the ·time is [days are] coming, says the Lord,
when I will ·make [complete; establish] a new ·agreement [covenant; contract]
with the ·people [L house] of Israel
and the ·people [L house] of Judah.
9 It will not be like the ·agreement [covenant]
I made with their ·ancestors [forefathers; fathers]
when I took them by the hand
to bring them out of [L the land of] Egypt.
But they ·broke [L did not abide by] that ·agreement [covenant; contract],
and I ·turned away from [abandoned; stopped caring for] them, says the Lord.
10 [For; But] This is the ·agreement [covenant; contract] I will make
with the ·people [L house] of Israel ·at that time [L after those days], says the Lord.
I will put my ·teachings [L laws] in their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
11 People will no longer have to teach their ·neighbors [fellow citizens] and ·relatives [L brothers (and sisters)]
·to know the Lord [L saying, “Know the Lord”],
because all people will know me,
from the least to the ·most important [greatest].
12 I will ·forgive them for [be merciful with regard to] ·the wicked things they did [their unrighteousness/wickedness],
and I will not remember their sins anymore [Jer. 31:31–34; Luke 22:20].”
13 God called this a new ·agreement [covenant; contract], so he has made ·the first agreement [L the first one] ·old [obsolete; outdated]. And anything that is ·old [obsolete; outdated] and worn out is ready to disappear.
