عِبرانِيّين 9

١ 1 ثُمَّ ٱلْعَهْدُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ كَانَ لَهُ أَيْضًا فَرَائِضُ خِدْمَةٍ وَٱلْقُدْسُ ٱلْعَالَمِيُّ،

THEN also the first tabernacle had indeed regulations for the divine service, and a sanctuary furnished.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّهُ نُصِبَ ٱلْمَسْكَنُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ ٱلَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ: «ٱلْقُدْسُ»، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ ٱلْمَنَارَةُ وَٱلْمَائِدَةُ وَخُبْزُ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ.

For the tabernacle was prepared; the first part, in which was both the candlestick, and the table, and the shew-bread, which is called the holy.

٣ 3 وَوَرَاءَ ٱلْحِجَابِ ٱلثَّانِي ٱلْمَسْكَنُ ٱلَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ: «قُدْسُ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ»،

But behind the second vail was the tabernacle, called the holy of holies:

٤ 4 فِيهِ مِبْخَرَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَتَابُوتُ ٱلْعَهْدِ مُغَشًّى مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ بِٱلذَّهَبِ، ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ قِسْطٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِيهِ ٱلْمَنُّ، وَعَصَا هَارُونَ ٱلَّتِي أَفْرَخَتْ، وَلَوْحَا ٱلْعَهْدِ.

having the golden censer, and the coffer of the covenant, overlaid with gold within and without, in which were the golden urn containing the manna, and Aaron’s rod which had budded, and the stone tables of the covenant;

٥ 5 وَفَوْقَهُ كَرُوبَا ٱلْمَجْدِ مُظَلِّلَيْنِ ٱلْغِطَاءَ. أَشْيَاءُ لَيْسَ لَنَا ٱلْآنَ أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْهَا بِٱلتَّفْصِيلِ.

and above, over it the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the propitiatory.

٦ 6 ثُمَّ إِذْ صَارَتْ هَذِهِ مُهَيَّأَةً هَكَذَا، يَدْخُلُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ كُلَّ حِينٍ، صَانِعِينَ ٱلْخِدْمَةَ.

Now when these things were thus disposed, the priests entered continually into the first tabernacle indeed, performing the divine services:

٧ 7 وَأَمَّا إِلَى ٱلثَّانِي فَرَئِيسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ فَقَطْ مَرَّةً فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ، لَيْسَ بِلَا دَمٍ يُقَدِّمُهُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَعَنْ جَهَالَاتِ ٱلشَّعْبِ،

but into the second once in every year entered the high-priest alone, not without blood, which he offered for his own inadvertencies, and for those of the people:

٨ 8 مُعْلِنًا ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ بِهَذَا أَنَّ طَرِيقَ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ لَمْ يُظْهَرْ بَعْدُ، مَا دَامَ ٱلْمَسْكَنُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ لَهُ إِقَامَةٌ،

the Holy Ghost thus signifying, that the way into the holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the first tabernacle held its station;

٩ 9 ٱلَّذِي هُوَ رَمْزٌ لِلْوَقْتِ ٱلْحَاضِرِ، ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تُقَدَّمُ قَرَابِينُ وَذَبَائِحُ، لَا يُمْكِنُ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلضَّمِيرِ أَنْ تُكَمِّلَ ٱلَّذِي يَخْدِمُ،

which figurative representation continues unto the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, with respect to conscience, make him perfect who performs the services,

١٠ 10 وَهِيَ قَائِمَةٌ بِأَطْعِمَةٍ وَأَشْرِبَةٍ وَغَسَلَاتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ وَفَرَائِضَ جَسَدِيَّةٍ فَقَطْ، مَوْضُوعَةٍ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلْإِصْلَاحِ.

as they consist only of meats, and drinks, and different ablutions, and corporal services, until the appointed time of perfect reformation.

١١ 11 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَسِيحُ، وَهُوَ قَدْ جَاءَ رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ لِلْخَيْرَاتِ ٱلْعَتِيدَةِ، فَبِٱلْمَسْكَنِ ٱلْأَعْظَمِ وَٱلْأَكْمَلِ، غَيْرِ ٱلْمَصْنُوعِ بِيَدٍ، أَيِ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْخَلِيقَةِ،

But Christ becoming the high-priest of future good things, through a better and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation;

١٢ 12 وَلَيْسَ بِدَمِ تُيُوسٍ وَعُجُولٍ، بَلْ بِدَمِ نَفْسِهِ، دَخَلَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً إِلَى ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ، فَوَجَدَ فِدَاءً أَبَدِيًّا. (aiōnios g166)

nor by the blood of goats and of calves, but by his own blood, he entered once for all into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)

١٣ 13 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ دَمُ ثِيرَانٍ وَتُيُوسٍ وَرَمَادُ عِجْلَةٍ مَرْشُوشٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُنَجَّسِينَ، يُقَدِّسُ إِلَى طَهَارَةِ ٱلْجَسَدِ،

For if the blood of bulls, and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the defiled sanctifieth to corporal purification,

١٤ 14 فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ يَكُونُ دَمُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلَّذِي بِرُوحٍ أَزَلِيٍّ قَدَّمَ نَفْسَهُ لِلهِ بِلَا عَيْبٍ، يُطَهِّرُ ضَمَائِرَكُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتَةٍ لِتَخْدِمُوا ٱللهَ ٱلْحَيَّ! (aiōnios g166)

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, by the eternal Spirit, offered up himself in sacrifice without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, that we may perform divine service to the living God? (aiōnios g166)

١٥ 15 وَلِأَجْلِ هَذَا هُوَ وَسِيطُ عَهْدٍ جَدِيدٍ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ ٱلْمَدْعُوُّونَ - إِذْ صَارَ مَوْتٌ لِفِدَاءِ ٱلتَّعَدِّيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ - يَنَالُونَ وَعْدَ ٱلْمِيرَاثِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ. (aiōnios g166)

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that, death being suffered for the redemption of transgressions committed against the first testament, they who are called might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّهُ حَيْثُ تُوجَدُ وَصِيَّةٌ، يَلْزَمُ بَيَانُ مَوْتِ ٱلْمُوصِي.

For where a testament is, of necessity the death of the testator is implied.

١٧ 17 لِأَنَّ ٱلْوَصِيَّةَ ثَابِتَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْمَوْتَى، إِذْ لَا قُوَّةَ لَهَا ٱلْبَتَّةَ مَا دَامَ ٱلْمُوصِي حَيًّا.

For a testament is valid when men are dead; for else it is of no efficacy whilst the testator is alive.

١٨ 18 فَمِنْ ثَمَّ ٱلْأَوَّلُ أَيْضًا لَمْ يُكَرَّسْ بِلَا دَمٍ،

Wherefore also that first testament was not consecrated without blood.

١٩ 19 لِأَنَّ مُوسَى بَعْدَمَا كَلَّمَ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ بِكُلِّ وَصِيَّةٍ بِحَسَبِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، أَخَذَ دَمَ ٱلْعُجُولِ وَٱلتُّيُوسِ، مَعَ مَاءٍ وَصُوفًا قِرْمِزِيًّا وَزُوفَا، وَرَشَّ ٱلْكِتَابَ نَفْسَهُ وَجَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ،

For when every command according to the law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, taking the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

٢٠ 20 قَائِلًا: «هَذَا هُوَ دَمُ ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلَّذِي أَوْصَاكُمُ ٱللهُ بِهِ».

saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

٢١ 21 وَٱلْمَسْكَنَ أَيْضًا وَجَمِيعَ آنِيَةِ ٱلْخِدْمَةِ رَشَّهَا كَذَلِكَ بِٱلدَّمِ.

And the tabernacle also, and all the vessels employed in the divine service, he in like manner sprinkled with blood.

٢٢ 22 وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ تَقْرِيبًا يَتَطَهَّرُ حَسَبَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ بِٱلدَّمِ، وَبِدُونِ سَفْكِ دَمٍ لَا تَحْصُلُ مَغْفِرَةٌ!

And almost all things are purified by blood according to the law, and without effusion of blood there is no remission of sin.

٢٣ 23 فَكَانَ يَلْزَمُ أَنَّ أَمْثِلَةَ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ تُطَهَّرُ بِهَذِهِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّاتُ عَيْنُهَا، فَبِذَبَائِحَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ.

There was a necessity therefore that the representations of the things in heaven should be purified by these; but the celestial things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

٢٤ 24 لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ إِلَى أَقْدَاسٍ مَصْنُوعَةٍ بِيَدٍ أَشْبَاهِ ٱلْحَقِيقِيَّةِ، بَلْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ عَيْنِهَا، لِيَظْهَرَ ٱلْآنَ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ ٱللهِ لِأَجْلِنَا.

For Christ is not entered into the holies made with hands, the antitypes of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the presence of God for us:

٢٥ 25 وَلَا لِيُقَدِّمَ نَفْسَهُ مِرَارًا كَثِيرَةً، كَمَا يَدْخُلُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ إِلَى ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ بِدَمِ آخَرَ.

and not that he should often offer up himself in sacrifice, as the high-priest enters every year into the holies with blood not his own,

٢٦ 26 فَإِذْ ذَاكَ كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ مِرَارًا كَثِيرَةً مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أُظْهِرَ مَرَّةً عِنْدَ ٱنْقِضَاءِ ٱلدُّهُورِ لِيُبْطِلَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةَ بِذَبِيحَةِ نَفْسِهِ. (aiōn g165)

(for in that case he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world: ) but now once for all at the consummation of the ages hath he been manifested for the abolishing sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)

٢٧ 27 وَكَمَا وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ أَنْ يَمُوتُوا مَرَّةً ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱلدَّيْنُونَةُ،

And forasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment,

٢٨ 28 هَكَذَا ٱلْمَسِيحُ أَيْضًا، بَعْدَمَا قُدِّمَ مَرَّةً لِكَيْ يَحْمِلَ خَطَايَا كَثِيرِينَ، سَيَظْهَرُ ثَانِيَةً بِلَا خَطِيَّةٍ لِلْخَلَاصِ لِلَّذِينَ يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ.

so Christ having been once offered in sacrifice to bear the sins of men, will appear the second time without sin, to those who expect him, for their salvation.
