Christ Make Sacrifice Ony One Time

10 Da Rules ony jalike one shadow, dey not even jalike one good picha a da good kine tings dat goin happen bumbye. Da Rules not da real ting. Dass why da Rules no can eva make perfeck da peopo dat like come tight wit God fo go show him love an respeck. No matta dose peopo go make sacrifice every year, jalike da Rules tell. Cuz if da Rules wen make dem perfeck, fo shua dey pau make sacrifice, cuz no need, yeah? Cuz den da peopo dat go show God love an respeck lidat, dey goin come clean inside from dat time, an dey no goin feel shame no mo fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do, yeah? But no was lidat. Da sacrifice dey gotta make, every year, dat ony make um rememba all da bad kine stuff dey wen do. Cuz da blood from da cows an da goats no mo power fo hemo da shame fo all da bad kine stuff!

You know, wen Christ wen come inside da world, he tell dis:

“God, you no like da sacrifices an da gifs dat dey bring.
Dey kill animals cuz dey sorry dey wen do bad kine tings,
    So dey burn da whole animal fo make sacrifice,
But dat no make you stay good inside.
Dass why you wen make ready fo me come one man.”

Den, dis wat Christ wen say:

“Eh, God! I hea!
    I wen come fo do wat you like, jalike yoa Book tell bout me.”

First ting Christ wen say,

“You no like sacrifices an gifs dat dey bring...
    Wen dey kill animals
Cuz dey sorry dey wen do da bad kine tings,
    An wen dey burn da whole animal fo make sacrifice,
Dat no make you stay good inside.”

Wen Christ talk lidat, he talking bout da stuff da peopo doing cuz da Rules say dey suppose to do um. Den Christ wen say, “I hea. I wen come fo do wat you like.” Christ wen throw out da old stuff so da new way fo live can take ova. 10 Jesus Christ wen do wat God like him fo do. He wen come one sacrifice fo us wen he wen bleed an mahke dat one time. Dass how we wen come da peopo dat stay spesho fo God fo real kine, cuz a wat Christ wen do.

11 An one nodda ting, every day all da priest guys go an do dea work fo God. Ova an ova dey make da same kine sacrifices. But you know, dose sacrifices no can get rid a da bad kine stuff, eva. 12 But dis priest I talking bout, Christ, he wen make da sacrifice fo da bad kine stuff dat one time, an den he wen go sit down ova dea by God, on da right side, da place wea da mos importan guy suppose to sit. 13 From dat time Christ stay waiting fo da time wen bumbye God goin make all da peopo dat go agains Christ go down in front him fo show dat Christ wen fight an win ova dem. 14 Christ wen make da sacrifice one time, an dat sacrifice wen make everybody dat stay coming spesho fo God, fo be da peopo dat stay spesho fo God foeva.

15 Godʼs Spesho Spirit tell us da same ting too. First he say dis:

16 “Da Boss say,
‘Afta dat time, dis da deal I goin make bumbye fo dem guys.
    I goin put my Rules inside dea heart,
    An I goin write um inside dea head.’ ”

17 Den he say,

“I no goin tink bout
    Da bad kine stuff dey wen do
    An da times dey wen broke my Rules.”

18 An you know, wen God let da peopo go an hemo da shame fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do, den no need make odda sacrifice fo dat no moa.

Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All

10 The law is only a shadow(A) of the good things(B) that are coming—not the realities themselves.(C) For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect(D) those who draw near to worship.(E) Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.(F) But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.(G) It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats(H) to take away sins.(I)

Therefore, when Christ came into the world,(J) he said:

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
    but a body you prepared for me;(K)
with burnt offerings and sin offerings
    you were not pleased.
Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll(L)
    I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a](M)

First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”(N)—though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”(O) He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy(P) through the sacrifice of the body(Q) of Jesus Christ once for all.(R)

11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,(S) which can never take away sins.(T) 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,(U) he sat down at the right hand of God,(V) 13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.(W) 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect(X) forever those who are being made holy.(Y)

15 The Holy Spirit also testifies(Z) to us about this. First he says:

16 “This is the covenant I will make with them
    after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
    and I will write them on their minds.”[b](AA)

17 Then he adds:

“Their sins and lawless acts
    I will remember no more.”[c](AB)

18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.

A Call to Persevere in Faith

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence(AC) to enter the Most Holy Place(AD) by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way(AE) opened for us through the curtain,(AF) that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest(AG) over the house of God,(AH) 22 let us draw near to God(AI) with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings,(AJ) having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience(AK) and having our bodies washed with pure water.(AL) 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope(AM) we profess,(AN) for he who promised is faithful.(AO) 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,(AP) 25 not giving up meeting together,(AQ) as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another(AR)—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.(AS)

26 If we deliberately keep on sinning(AT) after we have received the knowledge of the truth,(AU) no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire(AV) that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.(AW) 29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God(AX) underfoot,(AY) who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant(AZ) that sanctified them,(BA) and who has insulted the Spirit(BB) of grace?(BC) 30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d](BD) and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”[e](BE) 31 It is a dreadful thing(BF) to fall into the hands(BG) of the living God.(BH)

32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light,(BI) when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.(BJ) 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution;(BK) at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.(BL) 34 You suffered along with those in prison(BM) and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.(BN) 35 So do not throw away your confidence;(BO) it will be richly rewarded.

36 You need to persevere(BP) so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.(BQ) 37 For,

“In just a little while,
    he who is coming(BR) will come
    and will not delay.”[f](BS)

38 And,

“But my righteous[g] one will live by faith.(BT)
    And I take no pleasure
    in the one who shrinks back.”[h](BU)

39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
