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。
Hebrews 8
English Standard Version
Jesus, High Priest of a Better Covenant
8 Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, (A)one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2 a minister in the holy places, in (B)the true tent[a] that the Lord (C)set up, not man. 3 For (D)every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus (E)it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. 4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. 5 They serve (F)a copy and (G)shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, (H)“See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.” 6 But as it is, Christ[b] has obtained a ministry that is (I)as much more excellent than the old as (J)the covenant (K)he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. 7 (L)For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.
8 For he finds fault with them when he says:[c]
(M)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,
9 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
For they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.
10 (N)For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and (O)write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall (P)all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
(Q)and I will remember their sins no more.”
13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And (R)what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Hebrews 8
New Living Translation
Christ Is Our High Priest
8 Here is the main point: We have a High Priest who sat down in the place of honor beside the throne of the majestic God in heaven. 2 There he ministers in the heavenly Tabernacle,[a] the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands.
3 And since every high priest is required to offer gifts and sacrifices, our High Priest must make an offering, too. 4 If he were here on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there already are priests who offer the gifts required by the law. 5 They serve in a system of worship that is only a copy, a shadow of the real one in heaven. For when Moses was getting ready to build the Tabernacle, God gave him this warning: “Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.”[b]
6 But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises.
7 If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it. 8 But when God found fault with the people, he said:
“The day is coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel and Judah.
9 This covenant will not be like the one
I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
and led them out of the land of Egypt.
They did not remain faithful to my covenant,
so I turned my back on them, says the Lord.
10 But this is the new covenant I will make
with the people of Israel on that day,[c] says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their minds,
and I will write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
11 And they will not need to teach their neighbors,
nor will they need to teach their relatives,[d]
saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’
For everyone, from the least to the greatest,
will know me already.
12 And I will forgive their wickedness,
and I will never again remember their sins.”[e]
13 When God speaks of a “new” covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear.
