Si Jesus mao ang Atong Pangulong Pari

Mao kini ang buot namong ipasabot sa among ginasulti: kita karon may pangulo na nga pari nga atua didto nagalingkod sa tuo sa trono sa Makagagahom nga Dios sa langit. 2-3 Nagaalagad siya isip pangulong pari didto sa Labing Balaan gayod nga Lugar. Dili tawo ang nagbuhat niana nga lugar kondili ang Ginoo gayod. Ang kada pangulong pari ginapili nga maghalad ngadto sa Dios ug mga halad nga mga mananap ug uban pa nga mga halad. Busa ang atong pangulong pari kinahanglan nga aduna usab siyay ihalad. Kon dinhi pa siya sa yuta, dili gayod siya mahimong pari tungod kay sukad pa kaniadto may mga pari na dinhi nga nagahalad pinasikad sa Kasugoan. Ang ilang gibuhat nga mga paghalad hulagway lamang sa mga butang nga nagakahitabo didto sa langit. Nasayran nato kini tungod kay niadtong ipatindog na ni Moises ang Tolda nga Simbahan miingon ang Dios kaniya, “Siguroha nga ipahimo mo kining tanan sumala gayod sa plano nga gipakita ko kanimo dinhi sa bukid.”[a] Apan ang buluhaton ni Jesus isip pangulong pari labi pang maayo kaysa buluhaton niadtong mga pari. Ug ang bag-o nga kasabotan karon nga iyang gipatigayon labi pang maayo kon itandi sa una nga kasabotan. Tungod kay ang bag-o nga kasabotan pinasikad sa labing maayo nga mga saad sa Dios.

Kon walay kulang ang una nga kasabotan dili na unta kini kinahanglan nga ilisan pa. Apan nakita sa Dios ang kakulangon sa mga tawo nga nagsunod niadtong nauna nga kasabotan. Busa miingon siya:

“Moabot ang adlaw nga maghimo ako ug bag-o nga kasabotan sa mga taga-Israel ug sa mga taga-Juda,
ug kini dili na sama niadtong kasabotan nga akong gihatag sa ilang mga katigulangan kaniadto sa dihang giagak ko sila pagawas sa Ehipto.
Wala nila tumana ang unang kasabotan nga gihatag ko kanila.
Mao nga gipasagdan ko na lang sila.”

10 Miingon usab ang Ginoo:

“Ang bag-o nga kasabotan nga akong ihatag sa mga taga-Israel sa umaabot nga mga adlaw mao kini: Isilsil ko ang akong mga sugo sa ilang alimpatakan, ug itisok ko kini sa ilang kasingkasing.
Mahimo ako nga ilang Dios, ug mahimo sila nga akong katawhan.
11 Wala nay mosulti sa iyang katagilungsod o sa iyang igsoon, ‘Ilha ang Ginoo.’
Tungod kay silang tanan makaila kanako, gikan sa labing ubos hangtod sa labing dungganon.
12 Kay pasayloon ko sila sa ilang mga daotan nga binuhatan, ug dili ko na hinumdoman pa ang ilang mga sala.”[b]

13 Ug tungod kay nagaingon ang Dios nga may bag-o na nga kasabotan, klaro nga ang una nga kasabotan karaan na, ug ang karaan dili na magamit ug mahanaw lang.

The New Priestly Service

Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, (A)who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a Minister of (B)the [a]sanctuary and of (C)the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.

For (D)every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore (E)it is necessary that this One also have something to offer. For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; who serve (F)the copy and (G)shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, (H)“See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” But now (I)He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a (J)better covenant, which was established on better promises.

A New Covenant(K)

For if that (L)first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. Because finding fault with them, He says: (M)“Behold, the days are coming, says 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 did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the (N)Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and (O)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 (P)None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the (Q)Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, (R)and their sins [b]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

13 (S)In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

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.
