Hebru 8
1 Tebang khosoihham ng'khueh uh te a cuinah la n'thui coeng. Anih tah vaan kah Boeilennah ngolkhoel bantang ah ngol.
The main point of what we're saying is this: We have just such a high priest who is seated at the right hand of God, who sits in majesty on his throne in heaven.
2 Hmuencim neh dap tang kah bibikung la om. Te te hlang long pawt tih Boeipa long ni a tuk.
He serves in the sanctuary, the true Tabernacle that was set up by the Lord and not by human beings.
3 Khosoihham boeih te kutdoe neh hmueih nawn ham a tuek. Pakhat khaw a khueh tangkik coeng dongah tekah te khaw nawn saeh.
Since it's the responsibility of every high priest to offer gifts and sacrifices, this high priest must also have something to offer.
4 Diklai ah om tangloeng ngawn koinih khosoih la ka om eh a ti moenih. Olkhueng dongah kutdoe aka nawn rhoek lam ni a om uh.
Now if he was here on earth, he wouldn't be a priest at all, because there are already priests to present the offerings that the law requires.
5 Amih loh vaan kah moeiboe neh mueihlip te a bawk uh. Moses loh dap a coeng tom a mangthui pah. A hmuh dongah, “Tlang dongkah nang kan tueng bangla a mueimae boeih saii,” a ti.
The place they serve is a copy, a mere shadow of what is in heaven. That's what God told Moses when he was going to set up the Tabernacle: “Be careful to make everything according to the blueprint you were shown on the mountain.”
6 Tedae thothueng tanglue a dang coeng. Paipi dongah rhikhangkung aka then lam khaw muep om. Te long te a then la olkhueh ol a rhi thil.
But Jesus has been given a far better ministry just as he is the one who mediates a far better agreed relationship between us and God, which is based on much better promises.
7 Lamhma te cuemthuek la om koinih a hmuen pabae tlap mahpawh.
If that first agreement had been perfect, then a second wouldn't have been necessary.
8 Tedae amih te a coel dongah, “Khohnin ha pawk coeng ke,” a ti. Boeipa loh, “Israel imkhui ah khaw, Judah imkhui ah khaw paipi thai ka thoh ni,” a ti.
Pointing out their failings, God told his people, “Pay attention, says the Lord, because the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and Judah.
9 Amih kut te ka tuuk tih Egypt kho lamloh amih ka doek hnin vaengkah a napa rhoek taengah ka saii paipi bang te moenih. Amih tah kai kah paipi dongah a ngol pai uh pawt dongah kai long khaw amih te ka sawtrhoel. Boeipa loh a ti.
This will not be like the agreement I made with their forefsathers when I led them by the hand out of the land of Egypt. For they didn't keep their part of the agreed relationship, so I gave up on them, says the Lord.
10 Hekah paipi tah te khohnin phoeiah ni Israel imkhui ah ka saii eh. Boeipa long ni a thui. Ka olkhueng he a kopoek ah ka paek vetih amih thinko ah ka daek pah ni. Te vaengah amih taengah Pathen la ka om vetih amih khaw ka pilnam la om uh ni.
The relationship I promise to the house of Israel is this: After that time, says the Lord, I will place my laws inside them, and write them in their minds. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
11 Te vaengah pakhat rhip loh a pilnam te khaw, pakhat rhip loh a manuca te khaw, “Boeipa te ming lah,” a ti nah vetih thuituen uh loengloeng mahpawh. Amih tanoe lamkah kangham duela kai boeih m'ming uh ni.
No one will need to teach their neighbor, and no one will need to teach anyone in their family, telling them, ‘You ought to know the Lord.’ For everyone will know me, from the smallest to the greatest.
12 Amih kah boethae te poekpoei rhola la ka om pah vetih amih kah tholhnah te ka poek khuep voel mahpawh.
I will be merciful when they do wrong, and I will forget about their sins.”
13 A thai a thui rhang neh paipi lamhma te a rhuem sak. Te dongah a rhuemrho neh a rhuemrho tah khum tom coeng.
By saying, “A new agreed relationship,” he makes the first agreement out-of-date. The one that's old and worn out has almost disappeared.
