希伯來書 9
1 原來前約有禮拜的條例和屬世界的聖幕。
Now indeed even the first had ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.
2 因為有預備的帳幕，頭一層叫作聖所，裏面有燈臺、桌子，和陳設餅。
For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lampstand, the table, and the show bread; which is called the Holy Place.
3 第二幔子後又有一層帳幕，叫作至聖所，
After the second curtain was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,
4 有金香爐，有包金的約櫃，櫃裏有盛嗎哪的金罐和亞倫發過芽的杖，並兩塊約版；
having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a gold jar containing the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;
5 櫃上面有榮耀基路伯的影罩着施恩座。這幾件我現在不能一一細說。
and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we cannot speak now in detail.
6 這些物件既如此預備齊了，眾祭司就常進頭一層帳幕，行拜上帝的禮。
Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, performing their duties.
7 至於第二層帳幕，惟有大祭司一年一次獨自進去，沒有不帶着血為自己和百姓的過錯獻上。
But into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.
8 聖靈用此指明，頭一層帳幕仍存的時候，進入至聖所的路還未顯明。
The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place was not yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing;
9 那頭一層帳幕作現今的一個表樣，所獻的禮物和祭物，就着良心說，都不能叫禮拜的人得以完全。
which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshipper perfect;
10 這些事，連那飲食和諸般洗濯的規矩，都不過是屬肉體的條例，命定到振興的時候為止。
but deal only with foods and drinks and various washings; they are regulations for the flesh imposed until the time of setting things right.
11 但現在基督已經來到，作了將來美事的大祭司，經過那更大更全備的帳幕，不是人手所造，也不是屬乎這世界的；
But Christ having come as a high priest of the good things that have come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained everlasting redemption. (aiōnios g166)
13 若山羊和公牛的血，並母牛犢的灰，灑在不潔的人身上，尚且叫人成聖，身體潔淨，
For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh:
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)
For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance. (aiōnios g166)
16 凡有遺命必須等到留遺命的人死了；
Now where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be proven.
17 因為人死了，遺命才有效力，若留遺命的尚在，那遺命還有用處嗎？
For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.
18 所以，前約也不是不用血立的；
Therefore even the first has not been dedicated without blood.
19 因為摩西當日照着律法將各樣誡命傳給眾百姓，就拿朱紅色絨和牛膝草，把牛犢山羊的血和水灑在書上，又灑在眾百姓身上，說：
For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people,
20 「這血就是上帝與你們立約的憑據。」
saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."
21 他又照樣把血灑在帳幕和各樣器皿上。
Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in like manner with the blood.
22 按着律法，凡物差不多都是用血潔淨的；若不流血，罪就不得赦免了。
According to the Law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23 照着天上樣式做的物件必須用這些祭物去潔淨；但那天上的本物自然當用更美的祭物去潔淨。
It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 因為基督並不是進了人手所造的聖所（這不過是真聖所的影像），乃是進了天堂，如今為我們顯在上帝面前；
For Christ hasn't entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;
25 也不是多次將自己獻上，像那大祭司每年帶着牛羊的血進入聖所，
nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,
or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)
27 按着定命，人人都有一死，死後且有審判。
Inasmuch as it is appointed for people to die once, and after this, judgment,
28 像這樣，基督既然一次被獻，擔當了多人的罪，將來要向那等候他的人第二次顯現，並與罪無關，乃是為拯救他們。
so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.
