Now de the crowning affirmation kephalaion to epi what ho we are saying legō is this: we do have echō such toioutos a high archiereus priest , who hos has taken his seat kathizō at en the right dexios hand of the ho throne thronos of the ho Majesty megalōsynē in en · ho heaven ouranos, an officiating priest leitourgos of ho holy hagios things and kai of the ho true alēthinos tabernacle skēnē · ho which hos the ho Lord kyrios put up pēgnymi, not ou man anthrōpos.

For gar every pas high priest archiereus is appointed kathistēmi to eis offer prospherō both te gifts dōron and kai sacrifices thusia; so hothen it was necessary anankaios for this houtos high priest also kai to have echō something tis to offer prospherō. So oun if ei he had been eimi on epi earth , he would an not oude be eimi a priest hiereus, since there are eimi already those ho who offer prospherō the ho gifts dōron prescribed by kata the law nomos. The place where they hostis serve latreuō is a shadowy skia suggestion hypodeigma · kai of the ho heavenly epouranios sanctuary, just as kathōs Moses Mōysēs was warned chrēmatizō by God when he was about mellō to erect epiteleō the ho tabernacle skēnē; for gar he said phēmi, “ See horaō that you make poieō everything pas according to kata the ho pattern typos · ho shown deiknymi you sy on en the ho mountain oros.” But de as it is nyn, he has obtained tynchanō a superior diaphoros ministry leitourgia, since the covenant diathēkē of which hosos · kai he is mediator mesitēs is eimi better kreittōn, since it hostis has been enacted nomotheteō on the basis of epi better kreittōn promises epangelia.

For gar if ei · ho that ekeinos first prōtos covenant had been eimi blameless amemptos, then no ou occasion topos would an have been sought zēteō for a second deuteros. For gar finding fault memphomai, God says legō to them autos, “ Behold idou, days hēmera are coming erchomai, declares legō the Lord kyrios, when kai I will establish synteleō a new kainos covenant diathēkē with epi the ho house oikos of Israel Israēl and kai with epi the ho house oikos of Judah Ioudas. It will not ou be like kata the ho covenant diathēkē that hos I made poieō with ho their autos fathers patēr on en the day hēmera when I egō took epilambanomai them autos by the ho hand cheir to bring exagō them autos out of ek the land of Egypt Aigyptos, because hoti they autos did not ou continue emmenō in en · ho my egō covenant diathēkē and I kagō abandoned ameleō them autos, says legō the Lord kyrios. 10 For hoti this houtos is the ho covenant diathēkē that hos I will establish diatithēmi with the ho house oikos of Israel Israēl after meta · ho those ekeinos days hēmera, declares legō the Lord kyrios: I will put didōmi my egō laws nomos in eis · ho their autos minds dianoia and kai I will inscribe epigraphō them autos on epi their autos hearts kardia. · kai I will be eimi their autos God theos and kai they autos will be eimi my egō people laos. 11 And kai they will not ou mē teach didaskō each one hekastos · ho his autos neighbor politēs and kai each one hekastos · ho his autos brother adelphos saying legō, ‘ Know ginōskō the ho Lord kyrios,’ for hoti they will all pas know oida me egō from apo the least mikros of them autos to heōs the greatest megas. 12 For hoti I will be eimi gracious hileōs toward ho their autos iniquities adikia and kai I will mimnēskomai never ou again eti remember mimnēskomai · ho their autos sins hamartia.”

13 In en speaking legō of a new kainos covenant, he makes the ho first one prōtos obsolete palaioō. And de what ho is becoming obsolete palaioō and kai growing gēraskō old is ready engys to disappear aphanismos.

Ora il punto essenziale delle cose che stiamo dicendo è questo: noi abbiamo un sommo sacerdote cosí grande, che si è posto a sedere alla destra del trono della Maestà nei cieli,

ministro del santuario e del vero tabernacolo, che ha eretto il Signore e non un uomo.

Infatti ogni sommo sacerdote è costituito per offrire doni e sacrifici; per cui è necessario che anche costui abbia qualche cosa da offrire.

Ora, se egli fosse sulla terra, non sarebbe neppure sacerdote, perché vi sono già i sacerdoti che offrono i doni secondo la legge

i quali servono di esempio ed ombra delle cose celesti, come fu detto da Dio a Mosé, quando stava per costruire il tabernacolo: «Guarda», egli disse, «di fare ogni cosa secondo il modello che ti è stato mostrato sul monte».

Ma ora Cristo ha ottenuto un ministero tanto piú eccellente in quanto egli è mediatore di un patto migliore, fondato su migliori promesse,

perché, se quel primo patto fosse stato senza difetto, non sarebbe stato necessario stabilirne un altro.

Dio infatti, rimproverandoli, dice: «Ecco, vengono i giorni che io concluderò con la casa d'Israele e con la casa di Giuda un nuovo patto,

non come il patto che feci con i loro padri, nel giorno che li presi per mano per condurli fuori dal paese di Egitto, perché essi non sono rimasti fedeli al mio patto, ed io li ho rigettati, dice il Signore.

10 Questo dunque sarà il patto che farò con la casa d'Israele dopo quei giorni, dice il Signore, io porrò le mie leggi nella loro mente e le scriverò nei loro cuori; e sarò il loro Dio, ed essi saranno il mio popolo.

11 E nessuno istruirà piú il suo prossimo e nessuno il proprio fratello, dicendo: Conosci il Signore! Poiché tutti mi conosceranno, dal piú piccolo al piú grande di loro,

12 perché io avrò misericordia delle loro iniquità e non mi ricorderò piú dei loro peccati e dei loro misfatti».

13 Dicendo "un nuovo patto" egli ha reso antico il primo, or quello che diventa antico ed invecchia, è vicino ad essere annullato.

The New Priestly Service

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, a Minister of (B)the [a]sanctuary and of (C)the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.

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. For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; 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.” 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)

For if that (L)first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 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 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.
