عِبرانِيّين 10

١ 1 فَقَدْ كَانَتْ شَرِيعَةُ مُوسَى تَتَضَمَّنُ ظِلًّا وَاهِياً لِلْخَيْرَاتِ الَّتِي سَيَأْتِي بِها الْمَسِيحُ، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لِتُصَوِّرَ الْحَقِيقَةَ ذَاتَهَا. وَلِذَلِكَ، لَمْ تَكُنْ قَادِرَةً أَنْ تُوصِلَ إِلَى الْكَمَالِ أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَتَقَرَّبُونَ بِها إِلَى اللهِ، مُقَدِّمِينَ دَائِماً الذَّبَائِحَ السَّنَوِيَّةَ عَيْنَهَا،

For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.

٢ 2 وَإلَّا، لَمَا كَانَ هُنَالِكَ دَاعٍ لِلاسْتِمْرَارِ فِي تَقْدِيمِهَا! لأَنَّ ضَمَائِرَ الْعَابِدِينَ، مَتَى تَطَهَّرَتْ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً إِلَى التَّمَامِ، لَا تَعُودُ بِحَاجَةٍ إِلَى التَّطْهِيرِ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً: إِذْ يَكُونُ الشُّعُورُ بِالذَّنْبِ قَدْ زَالَ.

If it could, would not the offerings have ceased? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt the guilt of their sins.

٣ 3 وَلَكِنَّ فِي عَمَلِيَّةِ تَقْدِيمِ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُتَكَرِّرَةِ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ، تَذْكِيراً لِلْعَابِدِينَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ.

Instead, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins,

٤ 4 فَمِنَ الْمُسْتَحِيلِ أَنْ يُزِيلَ دَمُ الثِّيرَانِ وَالتُّيُوسِ خَطايَا النَّاسِ.

because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

٥ 5 لِذَلِكَ قَالَ الْمَسِيحُ، عِنْدَ مَجِيئِهِ إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ: «إِنَّ الذَّبَائِحَ وَالتَّقْدِمَاتِ مَا أَرَدْتَهَا. لَكِنَّكَ أَعْدَدْتَ لِي جَسَداً بَشَرِيًّا.

Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.

٦ 6 فَالْحَيَوَانَاتُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُذْبَحُ وَتُحْرَقُ أَمَامَكَ تَكْفِيراً عَنِ الْخَطِيئَةِ، لَمْ تَرْضَ بِها.

In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.

٧ 7 عِنْدَئِذٍ قُلْتُ لَكَ: هَا أَنَا آتِي لأَعْمَلَ إِرَادَتَكَ، يَا اللهُ. هَذَا هُوَ الْمَكْتُوبُ عَنِّي فِي صَفْحَةِ الْكِتَابِ!»

Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’”

٨ 8 فَبَعْدَ أَنْ عَبَّرَ الْمَسِيحُ عَنْ عَدَمِ رِضَى اللهِ بِجَمِيعِ التَّقْدِمَاتِ وَالذَّبَائِحِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُقَرَّبُ مَعَ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُقَدَّمُ وَفْقاً لِلشَّرِيعَةِ،

In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law).

٩ 9 أَضَافَ قَائِلاً: «هَا أَنَا آتِي لأَعْمَلَ إِرَادَتَكَ!» فَهُوَ، إِذَنْ، يُلْغِي النِّظَامَ السَّابِقَ، لِيَضَعَ مَحَلَّهُ نِظَاماً جَدِيداً.

Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

١٠ 10 بِمُوجِبِ هَذِهِ الإِرَادَةِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ، صِرْنَا مُقَدَّسِينَ إِذْ قَدَّمَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ، مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، جَسَدَهُ عِوَضاً عَنَّا!

And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

١١ 11 وَقَدِيماً، كَانَ كُلُّ كَاهِنٍ يَقِفُ يَوْمِيًّا أَمَامَ الْمَذْبَحِ لِيَقُومَ بِمُهِمَّتِهِ، فَيُقَدِّمُ لِلهِ تِلْكَ الذَّبَائِحَ عَيْنَهَا، مَعَ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ قَادِرَةً عَلَى إِزَالَةِ الْخَطَايَا إِطْلاقاً.

Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

١٢ 12 وَلَكِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ، رَئِيسَ كَهَنَتِنَا، قَدَّمَ ذَبِيحَةً وَاحِدَةً عَنِ الْخَطَايَا، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللهِ،

But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.

١٣ 13 مُنْتَظِراً أَنْ يُوضَعَ أَعْدَاؤُهُ مَوْطِئاً لِقَدَمَيْهِ.

Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet,

١٤ 14 إِذْ إِنَّهُ، بِتَقْدِمَةٍ وَحِيدَةٍ جَعَلَ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ قَدَّسَهُمْ كَامِلِينَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified.

١٥ 15 وَالرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ نَفْسُهُ يَشْهَدُ لَنَا بِهَذِهِ الْحَقِيقَةِ. إِذْ قَالَ أَوَّلاً:

The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:

١٦ 16 «هَذَا هُوَ الْعَهْدُ الَّذِي أُبْرِمُهُ مَعَهُمْ بَعْدَ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: أَضَعُ شَرَائِعِي فِي دَاخِلِ قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَأَكْتُبُهَا فِي عُقُولِهِمْ».

“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”

١٧ 17 ثُمَّ أَضَافَ: «وَلا أَعُودُ أَبَداً إِلَى تَذَكُّرِ خَطَايَاهُمْ وَمُخَالَفَاتِهِمْ».

Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”

١٨ 18 فَحِينَمَا يَتَحَقَّقُ غُفْرَانُ الْخَطَايَا، لَا تَبْقَى حَاجَةٌ بَعْدُ إِلَى تَقْرِيبِ التَّقْدِمَاتِ!

And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.

١٩ 19 فَلَنَا الآنَ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ حَقُّ التَّقَدُّمِ بِثِقَةٍ إِلَى «قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ» (فِي السَّمَاءِ) بِدَمِ يَسُوعَ.

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,

٢٠ 20 وَذَلِكَ بِسُلُوكِ هَذَا الطَّرِيقِ الْحَيِّ الْجَدِيدِ الَّذِي شَقَّهُ لَنَا الْمَسِيحُ بِتَمْزِيقِ الحِجَابِ، أَيْ جَسَدِهِ.

by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,

٢١ 21 وَلَنَا أَيْضاً كَاهِنٌ عَظِيمٌ يُمَارِسُ سُلْطَتَهُ عَلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ.

and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

٢٢ 22 فَلْنَتَقَدَّمْ إِلَى حَضْرَةِ اللهِ بِقَلْبٍ صَادِقٍ وَبِثِقَةِ الإِيمَانِ الْكَامِلَةِ، بَعْدَمَا طَهَّرَ رَشُّ الدَّمِ قُلُوبَنَا مِنْ كُلِّ شُعُورٍ بِالذَّنْبِ، وَغَسَلَ الْمَاءُ النَّقِيُّ أَجْسَادَنَا.

let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

٢٣ 23 وَلْنَتَمَسَّكْ دَائِماً بِالرَّجَاءِ الَّذِي نَعْتَرِفُ بِهِ، دُونَ أَنْ نَشُكَّ فِي أَنَّهُ سَيَتَحَقَّقُ، لأَنَّ الَّذِي وَعَدَنَا بِتَحْقِيقِهِ، هُوَ أَمِينٌ وَصَادِقٌ.

Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.

٢٤ 24 وَعَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا أَنْ يَنْتَبِهَ لِلآخَرِينَ، لِنَحُثَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً عَلَى الْمَحَبَّةِ وَالأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَةِ.

And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds.

٢٥ 25 وَعَلَيْنَا أَلّا نَنْقَطِعَ عَنِ الاجْتِمَاعِ مَعاً، كَمَا تَعَوَّدَ بَعْضُكُمْ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ. إِنَّمَا، يَجْدُرُ بِكُمْ أَنْ تَحُثُّوا وَتُشَجِّعُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً، وَتُوَاظِبُوا عَلَى هَذَا بِقَدْرِ مَا تَرَوْنَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ يَقْتَرِبُ.

Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

٢٦ 26 فَإِنْ أَخْطَأْنَا عَمْداً بِرَفْضِنَا لِلْمَسِيحِ بَعْدَ حُصُولِنَا عَلَى مَعْرِفَةِ الْحَقِّ، لَا تَبْقَى هُنَاكَ ذَبِيحَةٌ لِغُفْرَانِ الْخَطَايَا،

If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,

٢٧ 27 بَلِ انْتِظَارُ الْعِقَابِ الأَكِيدِ فِي لَهِيبِ النَّارِ الَّتِي سَتَلْتَهِمُ الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ. وَيَا لَهُ مِنِ انْتِظَارٍ مُخِيفٍ!

but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.

٢٨ 28 تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ مَنْ خَالَفَ شَرِيعَةَ مُوسَى، كَانَ عِقَابُهُ الْمَوْتَ دُونَ رَحْمَةٍ، عَلَى أَنْ يُؤَيِّدَ مُخَالَفَتَهُ شَاهِدَانِ أَوْ ثَلاثَةٌ.

Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

٢٩ 29 فَفِي ظَنِّكُمْ، كَمْ يَكُونُ أَشَدَّ كَثِيراً ذَلِكَ الْعِقَابُ الَّذِي يَسْتَحِقُّهُ مَنْ يَدُوسُ ابْنَ اللهِ، إِذْ يَعْتَبِرُ أَنَّ دَمَ الْعَهْدِ، الَّذِي يَتَقَدَّسُ بِهِ، هُوَ دَمٌ نَجِسٌ، وَبِذَلِكَ يُهِينُ رُوحَ النِّعْمَةِ؟

How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

٣٠ 30 فَنَحْنُ نَعْرِفُ مَنْ قَالَ: «لِيَ الانْتِقَامُ، أَنَا أُجَازِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ!» وَأَيْضاً: «إِنَّ الرَّبَّ سَوْفَ يُحَاكِمُ شَعْبَهُ!»

For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

٣١ 31 حَقّاً مَا أَرْهَبَ الْوُقُوعَ فِي يَدَيِ اللهِ الْحَيِّ!

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

٣٢ 32 لَا تَنْسَوْا أَبَداً تِلْكَ الأَيَّامَ الْمَاضِيَةَ الَّتِي فِيهَا، بَعْدَمَا أَشْرَقَ عَلَيْكُمْ نُورُ الإِيمَانِ بِالْمَسِيحِ، صَبَرْتُمْ عَلَى جِهَادٍ مَرِيرٍ طَوِيلٍ، إِذْ قَاسَيْتُمْ كَثِيراً مِنَ الآلامِ.

Remember the early days that you were in the light. In those days, you endured a great conflict in the face of suffering.

٣٣ 33 وَذَلِكَ عِنْدَمَا تَعَرَّضْتُمْ لِلإِهَانَاتِ وَالْمُضَايَقَاتِ مِنْ جِهَةٍ، وَعِنْدَمَا شَارَكْتُمُ الَّذِينَ عُومِلُوا مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الْمُعَامَلَةِ مِنْ جِهَةٍ أُخْرَى.

Sometimes you were publicly exposed to ridicule and persecution; at other times you were partners with those who were so treated.

٣٤ 34 فَقَدْ تَعَاطَفْتُمْ مَعَ الْمَسْجُونِينَ، كَمَا تَقَبَّلْتُمْ نَهْبَ مُمْتَلَكَاتِكُمْ بِفَرَحٍ، عِلْماً مِنْكُمْ بِأَنَّ لَكُمْ فِي السَّمَاءِ ثَرْوَةً أَفْضَلَ وَأَبْقَى.

You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you yourselves had a better and permanent possession.

٣٥ 35 إِذَنْ، لَا تَتَخَلَّوْا عَنْ ثِقَتِكُمْ بِالرَّبِّ. فَإِنَّ لَهَا مُكَافَأَةً عَظِيمَةً.

So do not throw away your confidence; it holds a great reward.

٣٦ 36 إِنَّكُمْ تحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى الصَّبْرِ لِتَعْمَلُوا إِرَادَةَ اللهِ، فَتَنَالُوا الْبَرَكَةَ الَّتِي وُعِدْتُمْ بِها.

You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.

٣٧ 37 فَقَرِيباً جِدّاً، سَيَأْتِي الآتِي وَلا يَتَمَهَّلُ.

For, “In just a little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay.

٣٨ 38 وَأَمَّا مَنْ تَبَرَّرَ بِالإِيمَانِ، فَبِالإِيمَانِ يَحْيَا. وَمَنِ ارْتَدَّ لَا تُسَرُّ بِهِ نَفْسِي!

But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he shrinks back, I will take no pleasure in him.”

٣٩ 39 وَلَكِنَّنَا نَحْنُ لَسْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الارْتِدَادِ الْمُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْهَلاكِ، بَلْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الإِيمَانِ الْمُؤَدِّي إِلَى خَلاصِ نُفُوسِنَا!

But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
