The New Priestly Service
8 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, 2 a Minister of (B)the [a]sanctuary and of (C)the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.
3 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. 4 For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; 5 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.” 6 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)
7 For if that (L)first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 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— 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 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.

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.

A Heavenly Priesthood
8 Now the main point of what is being said is this: We have this kind of high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,(A) 2 a minister of the sanctuary and the true tabernacle that was set up by the Lord and not man.(B) 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts(C) and sacrifices; therefore, it was necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. 4 Now if he were on earth, he wouldn’t be a priest, since there are those[a] offering the gifts prescribed by the law. 5 These serve as a copy and shadow(D) of the heavenly things, as Moses was warned when he was about to complete the tabernacle. For God said, Be careful that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.[b](E) 6 But Jesus has now obtained a superior ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator(F) of a better covenant,(G) which has been established on better promises.(H)
A Superior Covenant
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second one. 8 But finding fault with his people,[c] he says:[d]
See, 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—
9 not like the covenant
that I made with their ancestors
on the day I took them by the hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt.
I showed no concern for them, says the Lord,
because they did not continue in my covenant.
10 For this is the covenant
that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.(I)
11 And each person will not teach his fellow citizen,[e]
and each his brother or sister, saying, “Know the Lord,”
because they will all know me,
from the least to the greatest of them.(J)
12 For I will forgive their wrongdoing,
and I will never again remember their sins.[f][g] (K)
13 By saying a new covenant, he has declared that the first is obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old is about to pass away.(L)
