Hebru 8
1 Kaimouh ni ka dei awh e alawkpui teh, kalvannaw dawkvah, ka Lentoenae bawitungkhung aranglah ka tahung e Vaihma Kacue tawn awh tie hah doeh.
To sum up what I have been saying: Such is the high priest that we have, one who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God’s Majesty in heaven,
2 Tami ni a sak e tho laipalah, BAWIPA ni a sak e lukkareiim katang hoi kathounge hmuen dawk Cathut thaw ka tawk e lah ao.
where he serves in the sanctuary, in that true tent set up by the Lord and not by man.
3 Vaihma kacue pueng teh poehnonaw hoi thuengnae hah poe han rawi e lah ao patetlah, thueng han buet touh a tawn.
Every high priest is appointed for the purpose of offering gifts and sacrifices to God; it follows, therefore, that this high priest must have some offering to make.
4 Kâlawk patetlah thuengnae poehnonaw ka poe e vaihmanaw ao patetlah, ahnimouh teh talai van vah awm rah pawiteh vaihma lah awm mahoeh.
If he were, however, still on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are already priests who offer the gifts as the Law directs.
5 Mosi ni lukkareiim a sak han navah, mon vah nang na patue e patetlah bangpuengpa na sak nahan kâhruetcuet loe tie lawk ka thai e patetlah hotnaw teh kalvanlae hnonaw e a tâhlip lah doeh ao awh.
(These priests, it is true, are engaged in a service which is only a copy and shadow of the heavenly realities, as is shown by the directions given to Moses when he was about to construct the tent. “Look to it,” are the words, “that you make every part in accordance with the pattern shown you on the mountain.”)
6 Hatei, Jisuh teh hoe ka talue e lawkkamnae dawkvah kaawm e, hoe ka talue e lawkkam e laicei lah ao dawkvah hoe ka talue e thaw tawk thainae teh a coe.
But Jesus, as we see, has obtained a ministry as far excelling theirs, as the covenant of which he is the intermediary, based, as it is, on better promises, excels the former covenant.
7 Hmaloe e lawkkamnae teh yonpen hanlah awm hoehpawiteh, apâhni e lawkkamnae teh bout panki mahoeh toe.
If that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second.
8 Hatei, Cathut ni hmaloe e lawkkam teh yon a hnei, hahoi a dei e teh, kai ni hete miphunnaw e mintoenaw hah, Izip ram hoi ka hrawi nah, ahnimouh koe ka poe e lawkkamnae hoi kâvan hoeh e lawkkam katha hah Isarel hoi Judahnaw koe ka poenae tueng ka phat han.
But, finding fault with the people, God says – “‘A time is coming,’ says the Lord, ‘When I will ratify a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah –
9 Hmaloe ka poe e lawkkam dawkvah ahnimouh ni awm awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, kai nihai noutna laipalah ka o telah a ti.
Not such a covenant as I made with their ancestors on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not abide by their covenant with me, and therefore I disregarded them,’ says the Lord.
10 Atototeh, Isarelnaw koe ka poe hane lawkkamnae teh, kai Cathut ni ka kâlawknaw hah ahnimae a lungthin muitha thungvah ka pakhum han. Ahnimae a lungthin dawk ka thut han. Kai teh ahnimae Cathut lah ka o vaiteh ahnimouh haiyah ka tami lah ao awh han.
‘This is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel after those days,’ says the Lord. ‘I will impress my laws on their minds, and will inscribe them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.
11 Hahoi, ahnimouh ni Bawipa panuek haw telah a imri, a hmaunawngha buet touh hoi buet touh kâcangkhai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kathoung poung koehoi kalenpoung totouh kai na panue awh han.
There will be no need for anyone to instruct their fellow citizen, or for a person to say to their relatives “Learn to know the Lord”; for everyone will know me, from the lowest to the highest.
12 Hat toteh, kai ni ahnimae lanhoehnae, a payonnae hoi kâtapoenae teh ka pâkuem pouh mahoeh telah a ti.
For I will be merciful to their wrongdoings, and I will no longer remember their sins.’”
13 Cathut ni Lawkkam katha telah ati navah, hmaloe e lawkkam teh a karuem sak. Karuem tangcoung e hno teh, coungkacoe kahmat han doeh toe.
By speaking of a new covenant, God at once renders the former covenant obsolete; and whatever becomes obsolete and loses its force is virtually annulled.
