Si Jesus amo ang aton Pangulo nga Pari

Amo ini ang buot namon silingon sang amon ginahambal: nga kita subong may pangulo na nga pari nga nagapungko sa tuo sang trono sang Makagagahom nga Dios sa langit. Nagaalagad siya mismo didto sa Labing Balaan nga Lugar bilang pangulo nga pari. Indi tawo ang naghimo sang sina nga lugar kundi ang Ginoo mismo. Ang kada pangulo nga pari ginapili nga maghalad sa Dios sang mga halad nga mga sapat kag iban pa nga mga halad. Gani ang aton pangulo nga pari dapat may ihalad man. Kon diri pa siya sa duta, indi mahimo nga mangin pari siya, kay halin pa sang una may mga pari na diri nga nagahalad suno sa Kasuguan. Ang ila ginahimo nga mga paghalad landong lang sang mga butang nga ginahimo didto sa langit. Nahibaluan ta ini tungod kay sadtong ipatindog na ni Moises ang Tolda nga Simbahan nagsiling ang Dios sa iya, “Siguraduha nga ipahimo mo ini tanan suno gid sa plano nga ginpakita ko sa imo diri sa bukid.”[a] Pero sa matuod lang, ang obra ni Jesus bilang pangulo nga pari mas maayo sang sa obra sang ato nga mga pari. Kag ang bag-o nga kasugtanan subong nga iya ginpatigayon mas maayo pa kon ikomparar sa una nga kasugtanan. Tungod kay ang bag-o nga kasugtanan ginabasi sa mas maayo pa nga mga promisa sang Dios.

Kon wala sing kakulangan ang una nga kasugtanan indi na kuntani kinahanglan nga ilisan. Pero nakita sang Dios ang kakulangan sang mga tawo nga nagsunod sa una nga kasugtanan. Gani nagsiling siya,

“Magaabot ang tion nga magahimo ako sang bag-o nga kasugtanan sa katawhan sang Israel kag sang Juda,
kag ini indi na pareho sang una nga kasugtanan nga akon ginhimo sa ila mga katigulangan sadtong gintuytuyan ko sila paguwa sa Egipto.
Wala nila pagsunda ang una nga kasugtanan nga ginhatag ko sa ila.
Amo ato nga ginpabay-an ko na lang sila. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini.”

10 Nagsiling pa ang Ginoo,

“Ang bag-o nga kasugtanan nga akon himuon sa katawhan sang Israel sa palaabuton nga mga inadlaw amo ini: Ibutang ko ang akon mga sugo sa ila hunahuna, kag isulat ko ini sa ila tagipusuon.
Ako mangin ila Dios, kag sila mangin akon katawhan.
11 Wala na sing may magsiling pa sa iya kasimanwa ukon sa iya utod nga dapat kilalahon niya ang Ginoo.
Tungod kay sila tanan magakilala sa akon, halin sa pinakakubos hasta sa pinakadungganon.
12 Kay patawaron ko sila sa ila mga malain nga nahimo; indi ko na pagdumdumon ang ila mga sala.”[b]

13 Kag tungod kay nagsiling ang Dios nga may bag-o na nga kasugtanan, maathag nga ang una nga kasugtanan daan na, kag ang bisan ano nga daan na kag wala na ginagamit, madula na lang.

The High Priest of a New Covenant

Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest,(A) who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,(B) and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle(C) set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.

Every high priest(D) is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices,(E) and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.(F) If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.(G) They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy(H) and shadow(I) of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned(J) when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”[a](K) But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant(L) of which he is mediator(M) is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.

For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.(N) But God found fault with the people and said[b]:

“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
    when I will make a new covenant(O)
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant
    I made with their ancestors(P)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
    and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10 This is the covenant(Q) I will establish with the people of Israel
    after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
    and write them on their hearts.(R)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.(S)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,(T)
    from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
    and will remember their sins no more.(U)[c](V)

13 By calling this covenant “new,”(W) he has made the first one obsolete;(X) and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
