The High Priest of a New Covenant
8 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) 2 and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle(C) set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
3 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) 4 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) 5 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) 6 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.
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.(N) 8 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.
9 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13 By calling this covenant “new,”(W) he has made the first one obsolete;(X) and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

耶稣—我们的大祭司
8 我们现在谈到的重点是：我们有这样一位大祭司，他坐在天堂里伟大的上帝的宝座的右边。 2 他在至圣处 [a]，即真正的圣幕中担任祭司，这个圣幕是上帝建造的，而不是人建造的。
3 所有的大祭司都被指命去奉献礼品和祭物，所以，我们的大祭司也该有所奉献。 4 如果他在地上，他是当不上祭司的，因为已经有按照律法的规定祭献贡品的人了，那么他在地上甚至连个祭司都当不上， 5 但是，那些人所做的工作只是天堂事物的副本就像当时摩西要去建圣幕时受到了上帝警告的那样，他（上帝）说∶“你必须按照我在山上给你看的样式来建造一切。” [b] 6 然而，耶稣得到的祭司职位远超过他们所得到的，就像由他做中间人的契约比旧契约更加优越一样。
7 假如第一个契约无懈可击，那就不需要再有第二个契约取代它了。 8 不过，上帝发现了人们的错误，他说：
“主说，‘我与以色列人和犹大
人定立新誓约的日子就要到了。
9 这个誓约不同于我与他们的祖先们定立的誓约。
那时，我牵着他们的手带领他们离开了埃及的国土，
因为他们没有信守我的誓约，所以我离弃了他们。’
10 ‘这个誓约是在那之后，我将与以色列人订立的。
我要把我的律法装进他们的大脑，
写在他们的心上。
我将是他们的上帝；
他们将是我的子民。
11 一个人没有必要去教导他的同胞与兄弟说：
“去认识主”，
因为他们从最微不足道到最伟大的人都将知道我。
12 因为我将宽恕他们的过错，
也不再记他们的罪过。”
13 他称这个契约为“新约”，使第一个契约过时作废。任何逐渐衰老与过时的事物都即将消亡。

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.
