Ang Pagsimba Dinhi sa Yuta ug Didto sa Langit

Karon, ang una nga kasabotan may mga tulumanon mahitungod sa pagsimba ug may simbahan nga gibuhat sa mga tawo. Kadtong Tolda nga Simbahan nga ilang gipatindog may duha ka kuwarto. Ang una nga kuwarto gitawag nga Balaang Dapit. Didto nahimutang ang suga, ang lamisa, ug ang mga pan nga halad ngadto sa Dios. Ang ikaduha nga kuwarto nga atua sa luyo sa tabil mao ang gitawag nga Labing Balaang Dapit. Atua didto ang bulawan nga halaran nga sunoganan sa insenso, ug ang sudlanan sa Kasabotan nga hinaklapan usab ug bulawan. Didto sa kahon nasulod ang bulawan nga tibod nga gisudlan sa manna, ug ang sungkod ni Aaron nga nanalingsing. Atua usab ang lagpad nga mga bato nga gisulatan sa kasugoan sa Dios. Didto sa ibabaw sa kahon may mga gitawag nga kerubin. Nagpaila kini nga atua didto ang Dios. Ang pako sa mga kerubin nagapandong ibabaw sa dapit diin ginapasaylo sa Dios ang mga sala sa mga tawo.[a] Apan dili pa namo mapasabot kining tanan kaninyo karon. Ingon niini ang hulagway didto sulod sa Tolda nga Simbahan. Ug kada adlaw gayod mosulod ang mga pari didto sa unang kuwarto aron himuon ang ilang katungdanan. Apan sa Labing Balaang Dapit, ang pangulong pari lang gayod ang makasulod didto, ug kausa lang gayod sa usa ka tuig. Ug kon mosulod siya didto magdala gayod siya ug dugo nga ihalad ngadto sa Dios alang sa iyang kaugalingon nga mga sala ug alang usab sa mga sala sa katawhan nga wala masayod nga sala ang ilang gihimo. Pinaagi niini gitudloan kita sa Espiritu Santo nga ang yano nga mga tawo dili gayod makasulod sa Labing Balaang Dapit samtang nagbarog pa ang daang Tolda nga Simbahan. Kini nga simbahan hulagway lang sa atong panahon karon. Tungod kay ang tinuod, ang tanang mga halad lakip ang mga mananap nga ilang gihalad sa Dios dili gayod makahinlo sa konsensya sa mga nagasimba sa maong pamaagi. 10 Ang ilang gipangbuhat pulos mahitungod sa mga pagkaon ug ilimnon, ug mahitungod sa paghinlo sa lawas. Kini nga mga regulasyon panggawas lang ug hangtod lang sa panahon nga bag-ohon sa Dios ang tanan.

11-12 Apan karon miabot na si Cristo, ang atong pangulong pari sa mas maayo nga pamaagi. Misulod siya sa tolda nga mas hingpit. Dili kini hinimo sa tawo, ug wala kini dinhi niining kalibotana. Kausa lang gayod naghalad si Cristo sa Labing Balaang Dapit ug wala na gayod niya kini usba pa. Dili dugo sa mga kanding ug sa mga lating baka ang iyang gihalad kondili ang iyang dugo mismo. Ug tungod niini gitubos niya kita aron nga mahimong maayo ang atong kahimtang ug bisan kanus-a dili na kita masilotan tungod sa atong mga sala. 13 Sumala sa Kasugoan, kon ang tawo mahugawan tungod kay miduol siya sa patay nga tawo, kinahanglan wisikan siyag dugo sa kanding ug sa torong baka ug sa abo sa sinunog nga nating baka aron mahinloan siya sa iyang pagkahugaw. 14 Karon, kon kana gani makahinlo, mas labi pa gayod nga makahinlo ang dugo ni Cristo. Kay pinaagi sa walay kataposang Espiritu Santo gihalad ni Cristo ang iyang kaugalingon ingon nga hingpit nga halad ngadto sa Dios. Ang iyang dugo maoy maghinlo sa atong kasingkasing ug hunahuna aron talikdan nato ang atong gibuhat nga walay pulos ug alagaron nato ang Dios nga buhi.

15 Busa si Cristo mao ang tigpataliwala tali kanato ug sa Dios sa bag-o nga kasabotan. Kay pinaagi sa iyang kamatayon gitubos niya ang mga tawo nga naglapas sa una nga kasabotan. Mao kana nga ang mga gitawag sa Dios makadawat na sa mga butang nga iyang gisaad nga maangkon nila sa walay kataposan.

16-17 Ang panig-ingnan niini sama sa tawo nga naghimo ug testamento kon kinsa ang manunod sa iyang kabtangan kon mamatay na siya. Samtang buhi pa siya dili pa mapuslanon kana nga testamento, kay ang testamento mapuslan lang kon mapamatud-an nga namatay na ang naghimo niini. 18 Mao kana nga bisan ang una nga kasabotan nagkinahanglan usab ug dugo aron mapalig-on. 19 Kay human sa pagtudlo ni Moises sa mga tawo sa tanang mga sugo sa Kasugoan, nagkuha siya ug dugo sa mga lating baka ug sa mga kanding ug gisagolan kini niya ug tubig. Human niini, giwisikan niya ang gisulatan sa Kasugoan ug ang mga tawo. Ang iyang gigamit sa pagwisik balhibo sa karnero nga gitina ug pula ug gihigot diha sa isopo nga tanom. 20 Dayon miingon si Moises sa mga tawo, “Mao kini ang dugo nga nagpalig-on sa kasabotan nga gihatag sa Dios aron inyong tumanon.”[b] 21 Ug giwisikan usab niya ang Tolda nga Simbahan lakip ang tanan nga galamiton sa pagsimba sa Dios. 22 Sumala sa Kasugoan, halos tanan hinloan pinaagi sa dugo. Ug kon walay dugo nga giula isip halad ngadto sa Dios walay kapasayloan ang sala.

23 Busa kinahanglan nga hinloan sa mao nga pamaagi ang mga butang nga atua sulod niadtong simbahan nga hulagway lang sa mga butang nga atua sa langit. Apan ang mga butang nga atua sa langit nagakinahanglan ug mas maayo pang halad. 24 Kay si Cristo wala mosulod sa balaan nga lugar nga hinimo lang sa tawo nga hulagway lang sa atua sa langit kondili sa langit mismo siya misulod. Ug karon atua siya didto nangatubang sa Dios alang kanato. 25 Ang pangulong pari sa mga Judio nagasulod sa Labing Balaang Dapit kada tuig nga nagadala ug dugo sa mga mananap. Apan si Cristo kausa lang gayod naghalad sa iyang kaugalingon, ug wala na gayod niya kini usba pa. 26 Tungod kay kon kinahanglan pa nga usab-usabon, nan kadaghan na unta siya nagaantos sukad pa sa pagmugna sa kalibotan. Apan kausa lang gayod siya mianhi dinhi sa kalibotan aron sa pagwagtang sa atong mga sala pinaagi sa iyang paghalad sa iyang kaugalingon. Kini gibuhat niya niining kataposang panahon. 27 Ang tawo kausa lang gayod mamatay, ug pagkahuman hukman siya sa Dios. 28 Busa si Cristo kausa lang gayod namatay isip halad aron makuha ang mga sala sa mga tawo. Tinuod nga mobalik siya pag-usab dinhi sa kalibotan, apan dili aron sa paghalad pag-usab aron makuha ang atong mga sala, kondili aron sa pagluwas sa mga tawo nga nagahulat kaniya.

The Earthly Sanctuary(A)

Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and (B)the earthly sanctuary. For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the [a]sanctuary; (C)and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All, which had the (D)golden censer and (E)the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were (F)the golden pot that had the manna, (G)Aaron’s rod that budded, and (H)the tablets of the covenant; and (I)above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

Limitations of the Earthly Service

Now when these things had been thus prepared, (J)the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services. But into the second part the high priest went alone (K)once a year, not without blood, which he offered for (L)himself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance; the Holy Spirit indicating this, that (M)the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing. It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered (N)which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience— 10 concerned only with (O)foods and drinks, (P)various [b]washings, (Q)and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.

The Heavenly Sanctuary

11 But Christ came as High Priest of (R)the good things [c]to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not (S)with the blood of goats and calves, but (T)with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place (U)once for all, (V)having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if (W)the blood of bulls and goats and (X)the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, [d]sanctifies for the [e]purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without [f]spot to God, (Y)cleanse your conscience from (Z)dead works (AA)to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason (AB)He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that (AC)those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

The Mediator’s Death Necessary

16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For (AD)a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18 (AE)Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every [g]precept to all the people according to the law, (AF)he took the blood of calves and goats, (AG)with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, (AH)“This is the (AI)blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” 21 Then likewise (AJ)he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And according to the law almost all things are [h]purified with blood, and (AK)without shedding of blood there is no [i]remission.

Greatness of Christ’s Sacrifice

23 Therefore it was necessary that (AL)the copies of the things in the heavens should be [j]purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For (AM)Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are [k]copies of (AN)the true, but into heaven itself, now (AO)to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 not that He should offer Himself often, as (AP)the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another— 26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 (AQ)And as it is appointed for men to die once, (AR)but after this the judgment, 28 so (AS)Christ was (AT)offered once to bear the sins (AU)of many. To those who (AV)eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

The Earthly Holy Place

Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and (A)an earthly place of holiness. For (B)a tent[a] was prepared, the first section, in which were (C)the lampstand and (D)the table and (E)the bread of the Presence.[b] It is called the Holy Place. Behind (F)the second curtain was a second section[c] called the Most Holy Place, having the golden (G)altar of incense and (H)the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was (I)a golden urn holding the manna, and (J)Aaron's staff that budded, and (K)the tablets of the covenant. Above it were (L)the cherubim of glory overshadowing (M)the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

These preparations having thus been made, (N)the priests go regularly into the first section, performing their ritual duties, but into the second only (O)the high priest goes, and he but (P)once a year, and not without taking blood, (Q)which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. By this the Holy Spirit indicates that (R)the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing (which is symbolic for the present age).[d] According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered (S)that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper, 10 but deal only with (T)food and drink and (U)various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.

Redemption Through the Blood of Christ

11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest (V)of the good things that have come,[e] then through (W)the greater and more perfect tent ((X)not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he (Y)entered (Z)once for all into the holy places, not by means of (AA)the blood of goats and calves but (AB)by means of his own blood, (AC)thus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if (AD)the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with (AE)the ashes of a heifer, sanctify[f] for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will (AF)the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit (AG)offered himself without blemish to God, (AH)purify our[g] conscience (AI)from dead works (AJ)to serve the living God.

15 Therefore he is (AK)the mediator of a new covenant, so that (AL)those who are called may (AM)receive the promised eternal inheritance, (AN)since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.[h] 16 For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. 17 For (AO)a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated (AP)without blood. 19 For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took (AQ)the blood of calves and goats, (AR)with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, (AS)“This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.” 21 And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both (AT)the tent and all the vessels used in worship. 22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and (AU)without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

23 Thus it was necessary for (AV)the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places (AW)made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God (AX)on our behalf. 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as (AY)the high priest enters (AZ)the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, (BA)he has appeared (BB)once for all (BC)at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And just as (BD)it is appointed for man to die once, and (BE)after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once (BF)to bear the sins of (BG)many, will appear (BH)a second time, (BI)not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly (BJ)waiting for him.

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.
