Hebreos 8
Reina Valera Actualizada
8 En resumen, lo que venimos diciendo es esto: Tenemos tal sumo sacerdote que se sentó a la diestra del trono de la Majestad en los cielos, 2 ministro del lugar santísimo y del verdadero tabernáculo que levantó el Señor y no el hombre.
3 Porque todo sumo sacerdote es puesto para ofrecer ofrendas y sacrificios; de ahí que era necesario que él también tuviera algo que ofrecer. 4 Si estuviese sobre la tierra ni siquiera sería sacerdote, porque ya hay sacerdotes que presentan ofrendas según la ley. 5 Ellos sirven a lo que es figura y sombra de las cosas celestiales, como se le había advertido a Moisés cuando estaba por construir el tabernáculo, diciendo: Mira, harás todas las cosas conforme al modelo que te ha sido mostrado en el monte[a]. 6 Pero ahora Jesús ha alcanzado un ministerio sacerdotal tanto más excelente por cuanto él es mediador de un pacto superior, que ha sido establecido sobre promesas superiores.
7 Porque si el primer pacto hubiera sido sin defecto no se habría procurado lugar para un segundo. 8 Porque, reprendiéndoles, dice:
“He aquí vienen días”, dice el Señor, “en que concluiré con la casa de Israel
y con la casa de Judá un nuevo pacto;
9 no como el pacto que hice con sus padres en el día en que los tomé de la mano para sacarlos de la tierra de Egipto.
Porque ellos no permanecieron en mi pacto, y yo dejé de preocuparme por ellos”, dice el Señor.
10 “Porque este es el pacto que haré con la casa de Israel
después de aquellos días”, dice el Señor.
“Pondré mis leyes en la mente de ellos y en su corazón las inscribiré.
Y yo seré para ellos Dios,
y para mí ellos serán pueblo.
11 Nadie enseñará a su prójimo,
ni nadie a su hermano, diciendo: ‘Conoce al Señor’;
porque todos me conocerán,
desde el menor de ellos hasta el mayor.
12 Porque seré misericordioso en cuanto
a sus injusticias
y jamás me acordaré de sus pecados”[b].
13 Al decir “nuevo”, ha declarado caduco al primero; y lo que se ha hecho viejo y anticuado está a punto de desaparecer.

Hebrews 8
English Standard Version
Jesus, High Priest of a Better Covenant
8 Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, (A)one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2 a minister in the holy places, in (B)the true tent[a] that the Lord (C)set up, not man. 3 For (D)every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus (E)it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. 4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. 5 They serve (F)a copy and (G)shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, (H)“See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.” 6 But as it is, Christ[b] has obtained a ministry that is (I)as much more excellent than the old as (J)the covenant (K)he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. 7 (L)For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.
8 For he finds fault with them when he says:[c]
(M)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,
9 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
For they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.
10 (N)For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and (O)write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall (P)all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
(Q)and I will remember their sins no more.”
13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And (R)what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
