¶ Premye kontra a te gen regleman pa l' pou jan yo dwe fè sèvis pou Bondye nan tanp ki sou latè a.

Premye bagay yo fè, yo moute yon gwo tant: se te kote yo te mete apa pou sèvis Bondye a. Se la yo te mete gwo lanp sèt branch lan, tab la ansanm ak pen yo ofri bay Bondye yo.

Dèyè dezyèm rido a, te gen yon lòt ti tant pi piti. Se te kote yo te mete apa nèt pou Bondye menm lan.

Se la lotèl an lò a te ye ansanm ak Bwat kote yo te sere kontra a. Se sou lotèl la yo te konn boule lansan. Bwat la menm te kouvri nèt ak lò. Anndan l' yo te mete yon ti ja an lò tou ki te gen laman dezè a. Bò kote ti ja a, yo te mete baton Arawon an ki te fleri, ansanm ak de moso wòch plat kote yo te ekri pawòl kontra a.

Anwo bwat la, yo te mete estati de zanj yo te rele cheriben. Se te pou fè moun konnen Bondye la. Zèl zanj yo te louvri, yo te kouvri tout kote yo ofri bèt pou touye pou peche yo. Men, nou pa gen tan koulye a pou n' pale an detay sou bagay sa yo.

Lè tout bagay fin nan plas yo konsa, prèt yo gen pou yo antre chak jou nan premye tant lan pou fè sèvis.

Men, se granprèt la ase ki gen dwa antre nan dezyèm ti tant lan. Li fè l' yon sèl fwa chak lanne. Lè sa a, li pote san bèt yo te ofri bay Bondye a pou tèt pa l' ansanm ak pou peche pèp la fè san yo pa t' konnen.

¶ Avèk tout aranjman sa yo, Sentespri fè nou wè chemen ki pou mennen nou kote Bondye ye a poko louvri toutotan premye tant la kanpe toujou.

Sa se yon siy pou te fè nou konprann davans sa k'ap pase koulye a. Sa vle di: pou moun k'ap fè sèvis sa yo, nanpwen kado yo ka fè Bondye, nanpwen ofrann bèt yo ka touye bay Bondye ki pou lave konsyans yo devan Bondye.

10 Nan tout bagay sa yo, se yon keksyon de sa ki bon pou manje, de sa ki bon pou bwè, de tout kalite seremoni pou yo fè pou lave deyò kò moun. Prensip sa yo vo kichòy jouk lè Bondye vin chanje tout bagay.

11 Men, Kris la vini deja tankou granprèt k'ap bay benediksyon ki gen pou vini yo. Tant kote l'ap fè sèvis li a pi gwo, pi bon lontan. Se pa moun ki te bati li. Tant sa a pa fè pati bagay ki sou latè.

12 Kris la pase nan tant lan, li antre kote yo mete apa pou Bondye a, li ofri san an yon sèl fwa devan Bondye epi li fini. Lè sa a, se pa t' san bouk kabrit ni san ti towo bèf li te ofri. Se san pa l' menm li te ofri. Se sak fè li antre yon sèl fwa a devan Bondye, li tou peye pou l' te ka delivre nou pou tout tan.

13 Si yo ka pran san bouk kabrit ak san towo bèf ansanm ak san vyann ti gazèl bèf yo boule sou lotèl la pou voye sou moun ki mete tèt yo nan kondisyon yo pa ka sèvi Bondye dapre lalwa, pou mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo fè sèvis Bondye,

14 nou pa bezwen mande kisa san Kris la p'ap fè. Avèk pouvwa Sentespri ki la tout tan an, li menm li ofri tèt li bay Bondye tankou yon ofrann bèt ki bon nèt, san okenn defo. Se konsa, san l' ap lave konsyans nou, l'ap delivre nou anba esklavaj lalwa k'ap touye nou an pou nou ka sèvi Bondye vivan an.

15 ¶ Se poutèt sa, Kris la se yon avoka ki tabli yon nouvo kontra ant Bondye ak lèzòm. Konsa, moun Bondye rele yo, yo ka resevwa eritaj ki la pou tout tan an, jan Bondye te pwomèt la. Tou sa, paske Kris la mouri. Avèk mouri li mouri a, li delivre tout moun anba chenn peche yo te fè sou premye kontra a.

16 Lè gen yon kontra osinon yon testaman, se pou yo bay prèv moun ki te fè l' la mouri byen mouri.

17 Paske, yon testaman pa vo anyen toutotan moun ki fè l' la vivan toujou. Lè moun ki fè l' la mouri, se lè sa a testaman an bon.

18 Se poutèt sa, menm pou premye kontra a se apre yo te fin fè san bèt yo te ofri yo koule li te bon.

19 Premye bagay Moyiz te fè, li te li tout kòmandman yo bay pèp la, jan sa ye nan lalwa a. Apre sa, li pran san ti towo bèf yo ak san bouk kabrit yo, li mele l' ak dlo, li pran yon branch izòp ak yon moso lenn wouj, li wouze Liv lalwa a ansanm ak tout pèp la avèk melanj la.

20 Lè sa a, li di: Sa se san ki sèvi pou siyen kontra Bondye mande pou nou kenbe a.

21 Moyiz voye san an sou tout tant lan, sou tout bagay ki sèvi nan tant lan.

22 Dapre lalwa, san an mete prèske tout bagay nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Si san pa koule, nanpwen padon pou peche yo.

23 ¶ Tout bagay sa yo se kopye Moyiz te kopye yo sou bagay tout bon ki nan syèl la. Si se pou yo te mete tout bagay sa yo ki yon senp pòtre bagay tout bon yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye konsa, bagay ki nan syèl la menm mande yon pi gwo kalite ofrann bèt toujou.

24 Kris la pa t' antre nan yon kay moun te bati pou Bondye sou modèl kay Bondye a. Li antre nan syèl la menm, kote li kanpe koulye a devan Bondye pou nou.

25 Granprèt jwif yo antre chak lanne nan kote ki apa pou Bondye menm lan avèk san bèt yo touye bay Bondye. Men, Kris la menm pa antre plizyè fwa pou ofri tèt li.

26 Si se pa t' sa, li ta blije soufri plizyè fwa tou depi lè Bondye te kreye tout bagay. Men, koulye a, lè tout bagay prèt pou fini, li parèt yon sèl fwa, li bay tèt li tankou bèt yo ofri pou wete tout peche, epi li fini.

27 Tout moun gen pou mouri yon sèl fwa, apre sa, Bondye gen pou jije yo.

28 Konsa tou, Kris la ofri tèt li pou li mouri yon sèl fwa pou wete peche anpil moun. Li gen pou l' tounen yon dezyèm fwa. Men, lè sa a, se p'ap pou wete peche nou, se va pou delivre tout moun k'ap tann li yo.

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)

Footnotes

  1. Hebrews 9:11 Some early manuscripts are to come
  2. Hebrews 9:12 Or blood, having obtained
  3. Hebrews 9:14 Or from useless rituals
  4. Hebrews 9:16 Same Greek word as covenant; also in verse 17
  5. Hebrews 9:20 Exodus 24:8

Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
