Hebru 8
1 Ka thuih o ih lok loe hae ni: aicae loe van ih Lensawk angraeng tangkhang bantang bangah kanghnu, Kalen koek Qaima maeto a tawnh o;
Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the Majesty's throne in heaven,
2 Anih loe kami mah sak ih na ai ah, Angraeng mah sak ih kahni im tangtang, kaciim ahmuen thungah toksahkung ah oh.
where he serves as a minister of the holy places and the true tabernacle, which was set up by the Lord, not by man.
3 Qaimanawk boih loe tangqumnawk paek moe, angbawnhaih sak pae hanah tokpaek ih kami ah oh o: to pongah Anih mah doeh hmuen paekhaih maeto sak toeng han angaih.
For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore, it was necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.
4 Kaalok mah thuih ih baktih toengah, tangqum kapaek qaimanawk oh o mangh pongah, Anih loe long ah om nahaeloe, qaima tok to sah mak ai:
For if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.
5 Mosi mah kahni im sak han amsak naah, mae nuiah kang patuek ih krang baktih toengah, hmuennawk boih to sah ah, tiah Sithaw mah thuih ih lok to oh: kahni im loe van ah kaom tangtang hmuen ih tahlip, krang hoi kanghmong ah ni a sak o.
They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to build the tabernacle, he was warned by God, “Be sure to make everything according to the pattern that was shown to yoʋ on the mountain.”
6 Toe Anih loe vaihi kahoih kue lokkamhaih to hnuk, Anih loe kahoih kue lokmaihaih caksak Laicaeh ah doeh oh baktih toengah, nihcae pong kalen kue toksakhaih to a hnuk.
But as it is, the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to the old priesthood as the covenant he mediates is superior to the old covenant, since it has been enacted on better promises.
7 Sak hmaloe ih lokmaihaih to akoep boeh nahaeloe, vai hnetto haih lokmaihaih to pakrong han angaih mak ai boeh.
For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one.
8 Toe Sithaw mah angmah ih kaminawk nuiah zaehaih hnuk pongah, Israel imthung, Judah imthung hoiah kangtha lokmaihaih ka sak han, Khenah, atue pha tih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
But finding fault with it, God says to the people, “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
9 Nihcae ampanawk to banah ka patawnh moe, Izip prae thung hoiah ka zaeh naah, nihcae mah ampanawk hoi ka sak ih lokmaihhaih baktiah khosah o ai, to pongah nihcae to kang qoi taak ving, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
not like the covenant I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant, so I had no regard for them, says the Lord.
10 To pacoengah Israel imthung takoh hoiah ka sak han ih lokkmaihaih loe, Ka patuk ih lok to nihcae poekhaih thungah ka suek moe, nihcae palung thungah ka tarik pae han: Kai loe nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han, nihcae doeh Kai ih kami ah om o tih:
For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
11 nihcae mah mi kawbaktih imtaeng kami khaeah maw, angmacae nawkamya khaeah maw, Angraeng to panoek o khae, tiah patuk o mak ai boeh: kathoeng koek hoi kalen koek khoek to kami boih mah Kai to panoek o tih boeh.
No longer will a man teach his fellow citizen or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
12 Katoeng ai a sak o ih hmuennawk nuiah palungnathaih ka tawnh, nihcae zaehaih hoi sakpazaehaihnawk to ka panoek pae mak ai boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
For I will be merciful toward their iniquities; their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
13 Kangtha lokmaihaih, tiah Anih mah thuih naah, hmaloe lokmaihhaih to Anih mah angquemsak boeh. Kahmawn moe, kangquem hmuen loe vaihi anghmat tom boeh.
In speaking of “a new covenant,” he has made the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old will soon disappear.
