عِبرانِيّين 8

١ 1 وَأَمَّا رَأْسُ ٱلْكَلَامِ فَهُوَ: أَنَّ لَنَا رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ مِثْلَ هَذَا،قَدْ جَلَسَ فِي يَمِينِ عَرْشِ ٱلْعَظَمَةِ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ،

Now a summary of the things of which we are speaking [is], We have such a one high priest who has sat down on [the] right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens;

٢ 2 خَادِمًا لِلْأَقْدَاسِ وَٱلْمَسْكَنِ ٱلْحَقِيقِيِّ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لَا إِنْسَانٌ.

minister of the holy places and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord has pitched, [and] not man.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ رَئِيسِ كَهَنَةٍ يُقَامُ لِكَيْ يُقَدِّمَ قَرَابِينَ وَذَبَائِحَ. فَمِنْ ثَمَّ يَلْزَمُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِهَذَا أَيْضًا شَيْءٌ يُقَدِّمُهُ.

For every high priest is constituted for the offering both of gifts and sacrifices; whence it is needful that this one also should have something which he may offer.

٤ 4 فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ لَمَا كَانَ كَاهِنًا، إِذْ يُوجَدُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَدِّمُونَ قَرَابِينَ حَسَبَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ،

If then indeed he were upon earth, he would not even be a priest, there being those who offer the gifts according to the law,

٥ 5 ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْدِمُونَ شِبْهَ ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّاتِ وَظِلَّهَا، كَمَا أُوحِيَ إِلَى مُوسَى وَهُوَ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ ٱلْمَسْكَنَ. لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «ٱنْظُرْ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَسَبَ ٱلْمِثَالِ ٱلَّذِي أُظْهِرَ لَكَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ».

(who serve the representation and shadow of heavenly things, according as Moses was oracularly told [when] about to make the tabernacle; for See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern which has been shewn to thee in the mountain.)

٦ 6 وَلَكِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ حَصَلَ عَلَى خِدْمَةٍ أَفْضَلَ بِمِقْدَارِ مَا هُوَ وَسِيطٌ أَيْضًا لِعَهْدٍ أَعْظَمَ، قَدْ تَثَبَّتَ عَلَى مَوَاعِيدَ أَفْضَلَ.

But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.

٧ 7 فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ بِلَا عَيْبٍ لَمَا طُلِبَ مَوْضِعٌ لِثَانٍ.

For if that first was faultless, place had not been sought for a second.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ لَائِمًا: «هُوَذَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، حِينَ أُكَمِّلُ مَعَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَعَ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا عَهْدًا جَدِيدًا.

For finding fault, he says to them, Behold, days come, saith the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant as regards the house of Israel, and as regards the house of Juda;

٩ 9 لَا كَٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلْتُهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ يَوْمَ أَمْسَكْتُ بِيَدِهِمْ لِأُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَثْبُتُوا فِي عَهْدِي، وَأَنَا أَهْمَلْتُهُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

not according to the covenant which I made to their fathers in [the] day of my taking their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in my covenant, and I did not regard them, saith [the] Lord.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْعَهْدُ ٱلَّذِي أَعْهَدُهُ مَعَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدَ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَجْعَلُ نَوَامِيسِي فِي أَذْهَانِهِمْ، وَأَكْتُبُهَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا.

Because this [is] the covenant that I will covenant to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their mind, I will write them also upon their hearts; and I will be to them for God, and they shall be to me for people.

١١ 11 وَلَا يُعَلِّمُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قَرِيبَهُ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَخَاهُ قَائِلًا: ٱعْرِفِ ٱلرَّبَّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ سَيَعْرِفُونَنِي مِنْ صَغِيرِهِمْ إِلَى كَبِيرِهِمْ.

And they shall not teach each his fellow-citizen, and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; because all shall know me in themselves, from [the] little one [among them] unto [the] great among them.

١٢ 12 لِأَنِّي أَكُونُ صَفُوحًا عَنْ آثَامِهِمْ، وَلَا أَذْكُرُ خَطَايَاهُمْ وَتَعَدِّيَاتِهِمْ فِي مَا بَعْدُ».

Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.

١٣ 13 فَإِذْ قَالَ: «جَدِيدًا»، عَتَّقَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ. وَأَمَّا مَا عَتَقَ وَشَاخَ فَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ ٱلِٱضْمِحْلَالِ.

In that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged [is] near disappearing.
