El sumo sacerdote de un nuevo pacto
8 Ahora bien, el punto principal de lo que venimos diciendo es este: tenemos un sumo sacerdote que se sentó a la derecha del trono de la Majestad en el cielo 2 y que sirve en el santuario, es decir, en el verdadero santuario levantado por el Señor y no por ningún ser humano.
3 A todo sumo sacerdote se le nombra para presentar ofrendas y sacrificios, por lo cual fue necesario que Jesús también tuviera algo que ofrecer. 4 Si él estuviera en la tierra, no sería sacerdote, pues aquí ya hay sacerdotes que presentan las ofrendas en conformidad con la Ley. 5 Estos sacerdotes sirven en un santuario que es copia y sombra del que está en el cielo, tal como se le advirtió a Moisés cuando estaba a punto de construir el santuario: «Asegúrate de hacerlo todo según el modelo que se te ha mostrado en el monte».[a] 6 Pero el servicio sacerdotal que Jesús ha recibido es superior al de ellos, así como el pacto del cual es mediador es superior al antiguo, puesto que se basa en mejores promesas.
7 Porque si ese primer pacto hubiera sido perfecto, no habría necesidad de proveer un segundo pacto. 8 Pero Dios, reprochándoles sus defectos, dijo:
«Vienen días», afirma el Señor,
«en que haré un nuevo pacto
con Israel y con Judá.
9 No será un pacto
como el que hice con sus antepasados
el día en que los tomé de la mano
y los saqué de Egipto,
ya que ellos no permanecieron fieles a mi pacto,
y yo los abandoné»,
dice el Señor.
10 «Este es el pacto que después de aquel tiempo
haré con el pueblo de Israel», afirma el Señor.
«Pondré mis leyes en su mente
y las escribiré en su corazón.
Yo seré su Dios
y ellos serán mi pueblo.
11 Ya no tendrá nadie que enseñar a su prójimo;
tampoco dirá nadie a su hermano: “¡Conoce al Señor!”,
porque todos, desde el más pequeño hasta el más grande, me conocerán.
12 Yo perdonaré sus iniquidades
y nunca más me acordaré de sus pecados».[b]
13 Al llamar «nuevo» a ese pacto, ha declarado obsoleto al anterior; y lo que se vuelve obsoleto y envejece ya está por desaparecer.

The Mediator of a New and Better Covenant
8 Now this is the main point in what has been said: we have a high priest such as this, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2 a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord set up, not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices; therefore it was[a] necessary for this one also to have something that he offers. 4 Now if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, because there[b] are those who offer the gifts according to the law, 5 who serve a sketch and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned when he[c] was about to complete the tabernacle, for he says, “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.”[d] 6 But now he has attained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also mediator of a better covenant which has been enacted upon better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, occasion would not have been sought for a second. 8 For in finding fault with them he says,
“Behold, days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will complete a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,
9 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers
on the day I took hold of them by my 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 decree with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I am putting my laws in their minds
and I will write them on their hearts,
and I will be their[e] God
and they will be my[f] people.
11 And they will not teach each one his fellow citizen
and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings,
and I will not remember their sins any longer.”
13 In calling it new, he has declared the former to be old. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is near to disappearing.

King James Version
8 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;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 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.
6 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.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 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:
9 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.
