Hebrews 8
Christian Standard Bible
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13 By saying a new covenant, he has declared that the first is obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old is about to pass away.(L)

Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Kabona Omukulu ow’Endagaano Empya
8 (A)Ekigambo ekikulu ekiri mu bye twogedde kye kino nti, Tulina Kabona Asinga Obukulu, atudde ku mukono ogwa ddyo, ogw’entebe ya Katonda ey’obwakabaka mu ggulu, 2 (B)omuweereza w’ebitukuvu, era ow’eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu ey’amazima, etaazimbibwa bantu wabula Mukama.
3 (C)Kubanga Kabona Asinga Obukulu yenna alondebwa olw’omulimu ogw’okuwaayo ebirabo ne ssaddaaka, bwe kityo n’oyo kyamugwanira okuba n’ekintu ky’awaayo. 4 (D)Singa yali ku nsi, teyandibadde kabona kubanga waliwo bakabona abawaayo ebirabo ng’amateeka bwe galagira. 5 (E)Kye bakola kifaananako bufaananyi era kisiikirize ky’ebyo ebikolebwa mu ggulu. Musa kyeyava alabulwa, bwe yali ng’anaatera okumaliriza weema, Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Bw’oba ng’ozimba, goberera entegeka yonna eyakulagirwa ku lusozi.” 6 (F)Naye kaakano omulimu Yesu gwe yaweebwa, gusinga nnyo ogwa bali obukulu, kubanga n’endagaano gy’alimu ng’omutabaganya y’esinga obulungi, n’ebisuubizo kw’enyweredde, bye bisinga obulungi.
7 (G)Singa endagaano eyasooka teyaliiko kyakunenyezebwa, tewandibaddewo kyetaagisa yaakubiri. 8 (H)Kubanga bw’abanenya ayogera nti,
“Laba ennaku zijja,” bw’ayogera Mukama,
“ndiragaana endagaano empya n’ennyumba ya Isirayiri,
awamu n’ennyumba ya Yuda.
9 (I)Endagaano eno empya terifaanana n’eri gye nalagaana ne bajjajjaabwe
lwe nabakwata ku mukono okubaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri.
Olw’okubanga tebaagoberera ndagaano yange,
nange ssaabassaako mwoyo,”
bw’ayogera Mukama.
10 (J)“Eno y’endagaano gye ndiragaana n’ennyumba ya Isirayiri,
oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ezo, bw’ayogera Mukama.
Ndissa amateeka gange mu birowoozo byabwe
era ndiwandiika amateeka gange ku mitima gyabwe,
nange nnaabeeranga Katonda waabwe,
nabo banaabeeranga bantu bange.
11 (K)Era tewaliba nate muntu ayigiriza munne oba muliraanwa we, oba muganda we ng’agamba nti,
‘Manya Mukama,’
Kubanga okuva ku muto okutuuka ku mukulu
bonna balimmanya.
12 (L)Era ndibasaasira,
n’ebibi byabwe siribijjukira nate.”
13 (M)Katonda bw’ayogera ku ndagaano empya, olwo ng’andibizza ey’edda; n’eyo gy’adibizza n’okukaddiwa n’ekaddiwa, eriggwaawo.
Hebrews 8
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.
