Hebrews 9
New King James Version
The Earthly Sanctuary(A)
9 Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and (B)the earthly sanctuary. 2 For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the [a]sanctuary; 3 (C)and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All, 4 which had the (D)golden censer and (E)the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were (F)the golden pot that had the manna, (G)Aaron’s rod that budded, and (H)the tablets of the covenant; 5 and (I)above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.
Limitations of the Earthly Service
6 Now when these things had been thus prepared, (J)the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services. 7 But into the second part the high priest went alone (K)once a year, not without blood, which he offered for (L)himself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance; 8 the Holy Spirit indicating this, that (M)the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing. 9 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered (N)which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience— 10 concerned only with (O)foods and drinks, (P)various [b]washings, (Q)and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.
The Heavenly Sanctuary
11 But Christ came as High Priest of (R)the good things [c]to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not (S)with the blood of goats and calves, but (T)with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place (U)once for all, (V)having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if (W)the blood of bulls and goats and (X)the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, [d]sanctifies for the [e]purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without [f]spot to God, (Y)cleanse your conscience from (Z)dead works (AA)to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason (AB)He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that (AC)those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
The Mediator’s Death Necessary
16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For (AD)a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18 (AE)Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every [g]precept to all the people according to the law, (AF)he took the blood of calves and goats, (AG)with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, (AH)“This is the (AI)blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” 21 Then likewise (AJ)he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And according to the law almost all things are [h]purified with blood, and (AK)without shedding of blood there is no [i]remission.
Greatness of Christ’s Sacrifice
23 Therefore it was necessary that (AL)the copies of the things in the heavens should be [j]purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For (AM)Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are [k]copies of (AN)the true, but into heaven itself, now (AO)to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 not that He should offer Himself often, as (AP)the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another— 26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 (AQ)And as it is appointed for men to die once, (AR)but after this the judgment, 28 so (AS)Christ was (AT)offered once to bear the sins (AU)of many. To those who (AV)eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

Worship in the Earthly Tabernacle
9 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.(A) 2 A tabernacle(B) was set up. In its first room were the lampstand(C) and the table(D) with its consecrated bread;(E) this was called the Holy Place.(F) 3 Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,(G) 4 which had the golden altar of incense(H) and the gold-covered ark of the covenant.(I) This ark contained the gold jar of manna,(J) Aaron’s staff that had budded,(K) and the stone tablets of the covenant.(L) 5 Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory,(M) overshadowing the atonement cover.(N) But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
6 When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly(O) into the outer room to carry on their ministry. 7 But only the high priest entered(P) the inner room,(Q) and that only once a year,(R) and never without blood,(S) which he offered for himself(T) and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.(U) 8 The Holy Spirit was showing(V) by this that the way(W) into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. 9 This is an illustration(X) for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered(Y) were not able to clear the conscience(Z) of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food(AA) and drink(AB) and various ceremonial washings(AC)—external regulations(AD) applying until the time of the new order.
The Blood of Christ
11 But when Christ came as high priest(AE) of the good things that are now already here,[a](AF) he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle(AG) that is not made with human hands,(AH) that is to say, is not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;(AI) but he entered the Most Holy Place(AJ) once for all(AK) by his own blood,(AL) thus obtaining[b] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls(AM) and the ashes of a heifer(AN) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit(AO) offered himself(AP) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(AQ) from acts that lead to death,[c](AR) so that we may serve the living God!(AS)
15 For this reason Christ is the mediator(AT) of a new covenant,(AU) that those who are called(AV) may receive the promised(AW) eternal inheritance(AX)—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.(AY)
16 In the case of a will,[d] it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. 18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.(AZ) 19 When Moses had proclaimed(BA) every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves,(BB) together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.(BC) 20 He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”[e](BD) 21 In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. 22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood,(BE) and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.(BF)
23 It was necessary, then, for the copies(BG) of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one;(BH) he entered heaven itself,(BI) now to appear for us in God’s presence.(BJ) 25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place(BK) every year with blood that is not his own.(BL) 26 Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world.(BM) But he has appeared(BN) once for all(BO) at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.(BP) 27 Just as people are destined to die once,(BQ) and after that to face judgment,(BR) 28 so Christ was sacrificed once(BS) to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time,(BT) not to bear sin,(BU) but to bring salvation(BV) to those who are waiting for him.(BW)

Nowe Przymierze
Stary porządek
9 Wprawdzie i w pierwszym przymierzu były przepisy dotyczące służenia Bogu oraz ziemska świątynia. 2 Postawiony został przybytek, w którego części zewnętrznej, zwanej miejscem świętym, stały świecznik i stół oraz były wyłożone chleby ofiarne. 3 Za drugą zasłoną znajdowała się część wewnętrzna przybytku, zwana Miejscem Najświętszym. 4 Mieściły się w niej wykonany ze złota ołtarz kadzidlany oraz pokryta w całości złotem Skrzynia Przymierza, w której były złożone: złoty dzban z manną, laska Aarona, która zakwitła, oraz tablice przymierza. 5 Nad Skrzynią ustawione były cherubiny chwały, zacieniające wieko miłosierdzia — o czym teraz nie ma potrzeby szczegółowo mówić.
6 W związku z takim urządzeniem przybytku kapłani pełniący służbę wchodzą zawsze do jego części zewnętrznej, 7 do drugiej natomiast raz w roku wkracza tylko arcykapłan, i to z krwią, którą ofiaruje za samego siebie i za popełnione nieświadomie grzechy ludu.[a] 8 Przez to Duch Święty wskazuje, że dopóki istnieje pierwszy przybytek, droga do miejsca świętego pozostaje nieobjawiona.
9 Ma to znaczenie symboliczne, odnoszące się do obecnego czasu, kiedy to składane są dary i ofiary, które — jeśli chodzi o sumienie — nie mogą doprowadzić do doskonałości osoby, która pełni służbę. 10 Są to tylko przepisy dotyczące ciała. Mówią o pokarmach, napojach i różnych obmywaniach, obowiązujących do czasu wprowadzenia nowego porządku.
Nowy porządek
11 Właśnie Chrystus, który pojawił się jako Arcykapłan nowych przywilejów,[b] wszedł przez większy i doskonalszy przybytek, zbudowany nie ręką ludzką, to jest nie należący do rzeczy stworzonych. 12 Wszedł On do świątyni nie z krwią kozłów i cieląt, ale ze swoją własną krwią, raz na zawsze, zapewniając nam wieczne odkupienie.
13 Bo jeśli krew kozłów i wołów oraz popiół z jałówki, przez pokropienie, uświęcają skalanych i przywracają cielesną czystość, 14 o ileż bardziej krew Chrystusa, który przez wiecznego Ducha, jako nieskazitelny, ofiarował samego siebie Bogu, oczyści nasze sumienie od martwych uczynków,[c] abyśmy mogli służyć żywemu Bogu. 15 Po to też jest On pośrednikiem Nowego Przymierza, aby — gdy została poniesiona śmierć dla odkupienia wykroczeń popełnionych za pierwszego przymierza — ci, którzy zostali zaproszeni, dostąpili spełnienia obietnicy wiecznego dziedzictwa.
16 Tam, gdzie ma funkcjonować przymierze, musi dokonać się śmierć, tak jak w przypadku testamentu.[d] 17 Testament staje się prawomocny z chwilą śmierci sporządzającego. Dopóki on żyje, testament nie obowiązuje.
18 Dlatego również pierwsze przymierze zostało przypieczętowane krwią. 19 Gdy Mojżesz ogłosił całemu ludowi wszystkie ustawy Prawa, wziął krew cieląt i kozłów wraz z wodą, wełną szkarłatną i hizopem, pokropił zarówno samą księgę, jak i cały lud, 20 i powiedział: To jest krew przymierza, które Bóg dla was ustanowił. 21 Podobnie pokropił krwią przybytek i wszystkie naczynia przeznaczone do służby Bożej. 22 Właściwie, według Prawa, niemal wszystko oczyszcza się krwią i bez przelania krwi nie ma przebaczenia.
23 Skoro więc ziemskie odpowiedniki rzeczy niebieskich trzeba oczyszczać takimi ofiarami, same rzeczy niebieskie — lepszymi ofiarami niż te.
24 Chrystus bowiem wszedł nie do świątyni zbudowanej rękami, będącej odbiciem prawdziwej, ale do samego nieba, aby teraz reprezentować nas przed obliczem Boga. 25 Wszedł też nie po to, aby wciąż na nowo ofiarowywać siebie samego — a tak czyni arcykapłan, gdy co roku wchodzi do świątyni z cudzą krwią. 26 Gdyby tak było w przypadku Chrystusa, musiałby On cierpieć wiele razy od powstania świata. Tymczasem On po to ukazał się obecnie, raz przy końcu wieków, aby przez ofiarowanie samego siebie usunąć grzech.
27 I jak postanowiono, że człowiek raz umiera, a potem czeka go sąd, 28 tak Chrystus, raz złożony w ofierze, aby wziąć na siebie grzechy wielu, drugi raz ukaże się tym, którzy Go wyczekują, nie ze względu na grzech, ale dla ich zbawienia.
