Okusinza ku nsi ne mu ggulu

(A)Endagaano ey’olubereberye, yalina amateeka agaalagirwa ag’okusinzanga Katonda, era waaliwo n’eweema entukuvu ey’oku nsi. (B)Mu weema eno mwalimu ebisenge bibiri. Mu kisenge ekisooka nga mwe muli ekikondo ekya zaabu eky’ettaala, n’emmeeza okwabeeranga emigaati emyawule, ekisenge kino kyayitibwanga Ekifo Ekitukuvu. (C)Era waaliwo olutimbe olwokubiri ng’emabega waalwo we wali ekifo ekiyitibwa Awatukuvu w’Awatukuvu. (D)Mu kifo ekyo mwalimu ekyoterezo ky’obubaane ekya zaabu, n’essanduuko ey’endagaano, eyabikkibwako zaabu ku buli ludda. Mu ssanduuko nga mulimu ekibya ekya zaabu ekyalimu emmaanu, n’omuggo gwa Alooni nga gutojjedde, n’ebipande eby’amayinja eby’Amateeka Ekkumi eby’endagaano. (E)Ku kisaanikira ky’essanduuko nga kuliko bakerubbi ab’ekitiibwa nga basiikirizza entebe ey’okusaasira; ebintu ebyo tetuyinza kubyogerako kaakano kinnakimu.

(F)Ebintu byonna nga bimaze okutegekebwa bwe bityo, bakabona baayingiranga mu kisenge ekisooka buli lunaku ne bakola emirimu gyabwe egy’okuweereza. (G)Naye Kabona Asinga Obukulu yekka ye yayingiranga mu kisenge eky’omunda omulundi gumu buli mwaka. Yagendangayo n’omusaayi, gwe yawangayo ku lulwe n’olw’ebibi by’abantu bye baakolanga mu butanwa. (H)Mu bino byonna, Mwoyo Mutukuvu atutegeeza bulungi nti, Ekkubo erituuka mu bifo ebitukuvu lyali terinnamanyika, ng’eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu ey’olubereberye ekyaliwo, n’enkola ey’edda ng’ekyaliwo. (I)Amakulu geekyo mu kiseera kya leero, ge gano: ebirabo ne Ssaddaaka ebyaweebwangayo tebiyinza kutukuza mutima gw’oyo asinza. 10 (J)Bikoma ku byakulya na byakunywa na ku bulombolombo obw’okunaaba, n’ebiragiro abantu bye baalina okukwata n’okugondera okutuusa ku biro eby’okuzza ebintu obuggya.

Omusaayi gwa Kristo

11 (K)Kristo yajja nga Kabona Asinga Obukulu ow’ebintu ebirungi ebyali bigenda okujja. Yayingira mu weema esinga obukulu n’okutuukirira, etaakolebwa na mikono gya bantu, etali ya mu nsi muno. 12 (L)Teyayingira na musaayi gwa mbuzi wadde ogw’ente ennume, naye yayingira mu Watukuvu w’Awatukuvu omulundi gumu gwokka n’omusaayi gwe; bw’atyo ye yennyini n’atufunira obulokozi obutaggwaawo. 13 (M)Obanga omusaayi gw’embuzi, n’ente ennume, n’evvu ly’ente enduusi, bimansirwa ku abo abalina ebibi, ne bibatukuza mu mubiri; 14 (N)omusaayi gwa Kristo ataliiko kamogo, eyeewaayo ye yennyini eri Katonda olw’Omwoyo ataggwaawo, tegulisinga nnyo okutukuza emyoyo gyaffe okuva mu bikolwa ebifu tulyoke tuweereze Katonda omulamu?

15 (O)Noolwekyo Kristo ye mutabaganya mu ndagaano empya, okufa bwe kwabaawo olw’okununulibwa okuva mu byonoono eby’omu ndagaano eyasooka, abo abaayitibwa ab’obusika obutaggwaawo balyoke baweebwe ekisuubizo.

16 Kubanga ekiraamo kiteekebwa mu nkola ng’eyakikola amaze kufa. 17 Kubanga kikola ng’eyakikola afudde, kubanga tekiba na makulu eyakikola bw’aba ng’akyali mulamu. 18 (P)Era n’endagaano ey’olubereberye teyakolebwa awatali musaayi. 19 (Q)Kubanga Musa bwe yamala okuwa abantu bonna Amateeka, n’atwala omusaayi gwa zisseddume n’ogw’embuzi, n’amazzi, n’addira obutabi obw’akawoowo obwa ezobu, n’ebyoya by’endiga ebiriko omusaayi, n’amansira ku kitabo kyennyini era ne ku bantu. 20 (R)N’ayogera nti, “Guno gwe musaayi gw’endagaano Katonda gye yabalagira okukwata.” 21 Era bw’atyo n’amansira ne ku weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne ku byonna ebyakozesebwanga mu kusinza. 22 (S)Era mu mateeka buli kintu kitukuzibwa na musaayi, era awatali kuyiwa musaayi tewabaawo kusonyiyibwa.

23 (T)Ebifaananyi by’ebintu eby’omu ggulu kyebiva byetaaga okutukuzibwa ne ssaddaaka, naye ebintu eby’omu ggulu byennyini biteekwa kutukuzibwa na ssaddaaka ezisinga ezo. 24 (U)Kubanga Kristo teyayingira mu kifo kya Watukuvu w’Awatukuvu ekyakolebwa n’emikono gy’abantu, naye yayingira mu ggulu mwennyini gy’ali kaakano mu maaso ga Katonda ku lwaffe. 25 (V)Kristo teyayingira mu ggulu kwewangayo mirundi mingi, nga Kabona Asinga Obukulu bw’ayingira mu Watukuvu w’Awatukuvu buli mwaka n’omusaayi ogutali gugwe, 26 (W)kubanga kyali kimugwanira okubonaabonanga emirundi mingi okuva ku kutondebwa kw’ensi. Naye kaakano yajja omulundi gumu ku nkomerero y’omulembe, ne yeewaayo yennyini ng’ekiweebwayo. 27 (X)Ng’abantu bwe baterekerwa okufa omulundi gumu n’oluvannyuma okulamulwa ne kutuuka, 28 (Y)era ne Kristo bw’atyo yaweebwayo omulundi gumu ne yeetikka ebibi by’abantu bonna. Alirabika nate omulundi ogwokubiri, si kuddamu kwetikka bibi byaffe, wabula okuleeta obulokozi eri abo abamulindirira.

Worship in the Earthly Tabernacle

Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.(A) A tabernacle(B) was set up. In its first room were the lampstand(C) and the table(D) with its consecrated bread;(E) this was called the Holy Place.(F) Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,(G) which had the golden altar of incense(H) and the gold-covered ark of the covenant.(I) This ark contained the gold jar of manna,(J) Aaron’s staff that had budded,(K) and the stone tablets of the covenant.(L) Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory,(M) overshadowing the atonement cover.(N) But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.

When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly(O) into the outer room to carry on their ministry. But only the high priest entered(P) the inner room,(Q) and that only once a year,(R) and never without blood,(S) which he offered for himself(T) and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.(U) The Holy Spirit was showing(V) by this that the way(W) into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. This is an illustration(X) for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered(Y) were not able to clear the conscience(Z) of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food(AA) and drink(AB) and various ceremonial washings(AC)—external regulations(AD) applying until the time of the new order.

The Blood of Christ

11 But when Christ came as high priest(AE) of the good things that are now already here,[a](AF) he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle(AG) that is not made with human hands,(AH) that is to say, is not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;(AI) but he entered the Most Holy Place(AJ) once for all(AK) by his own blood,(AL) thus obtaining[b] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls(AM) and the ashes of a heifer(AN) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit(AO) offered himself(AP) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(AQ) from acts that lead to death,[c](AR) so that we may serve the living God!(AS)

15 For this reason Christ is the mediator(AT) of a new covenant,(AU) that those who are called(AV) may receive the promised(AW) eternal inheritance(AX)—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.(AY)

16 In the case of a will,[d] it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. 18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.(AZ) 19 When Moses had proclaimed(BA) every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves,(BB) together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.(BC) 20 He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”[e](BD) 21 In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. 22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood,(BE) and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.(BF)

23 It was necessary, then, for the copies(BG) of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one;(BH) he entered heaven itself,(BI) now to appear for us in God’s presence.(BJ) 25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place(BK) every year with blood that is not his own.(BL) 26 Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world.(BM) But he has appeared(BN) once for all(BO) at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.(BP) 27 Just as people are destined to die once,(BQ) and after that to face judgment,(BR) 28 so Christ was sacrificed once(BS) to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time,(BT) not to bear sin,(BU) but to bring salvation(BV) to those who are waiting for him.(BW)
