Hebreos 8
Nueva Traducción Viviente
Cristo es nuestro Sumo Sacerdote
8 El punto principal es el siguiente: tenemos un Sumo Sacerdote quien se sentó en el lugar de honor, a la derecha del trono del Dios majestuoso en el cielo. 2 Allí sirve como ministro en el tabernáculo[a] del cielo, el verdadero lugar de adoración construido por el Señor y no por manos humanas.
3 Ya que es deber de todo sumo sacerdote presentar ofrendas y sacrificios, nuestro Sumo Sacerdote también tiene que presentar una ofrenda. 4 Si estuviera aquí en la tierra, ni siquiera sería sacerdote, porque ya hay sacerdotes que presentan las ofrendas que exige la ley. 5 Ellos sirven dentro de un sistema de adoración que es solo una copia, una sombra del verdadero, que está en el cielo. Pues cuando Moisés estaba por construir el tabernáculo, Dios le advirtió lo siguiente: «Asegúrate de hacer todo según el modelo que te mostré aquí en la montaña»[b].
6 Pero ahora a Jesús, nuestro Sumo Sacerdote, se le ha dado un ministerio que es muy superior al sacerdocio antiguo porque él es mediador a nuestro favor de un mejor pacto con Dios basado en promesas mejores.
7 Si el primer pacto no hubiera tenido defectos, no habría sido necesario reemplazarlo con un segundo pacto. 8 Pero cuando Dios encontró defectos en el pueblo, dijo:
«Se acerca el día, dice el Señor,
en que haré un nuevo pacto
con el pueblo de Israel y de Judá.
9 Este pacto no será como el que
hice con sus antepasados
cuando los tomé de la mano
y los saqué de la tierra de Egipto.
Ellos no permanecieron fieles a mi pacto,
por eso les di la espalda, dice el Señor.
10 Pero este es el nuevo pacto que haré
con el pueblo de Israel en ese día,[c] dice el Señor:
Pondré mis leyes en su mente
y las escribiré en su corazón.
Yo seré su Dios,
y ellos serán mi pueblo.
11 Y no habrá necesidad de enseñar a sus vecinos
ni habrá necesidad de enseñar a sus parientes,[d]
diciendo: “Deberías conocer al Señor”.
Pues todos ya me conocerán,
desde el más pequeño hasta el más grande.
12 Perdonaré sus maldades
y nunca más me acordaré de sus pecados»[e].
13 Cuando Dios habla de un «nuevo» pacto, quiere decir que ha hecho obsoleto al primero, el cual ha caducado y pronto desaparecerá.
Hebrews 8
New King James Version
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.

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.
