< Hebrews 9 >
1 Now indeed therefore the first had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary.
But in the first there were ordinances of ministry, and a worldly sanctuary.
2 For a tabernacle was prepared, the first in which was also the lampstand, and the table, and the presentation of the loaves, which is called the Holy place.
For in the first tabernacle that was made there were the candelabrum, and the table, and the presencebread; and this was called the Holy place.
3 And behind the second curtain, the tabernacle called the Holy of holies,
But the interior tabernacle, that was within the second veil, was called the Holy of Holies:
4 having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid entirely in gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.
in it were the incense-vessel of gold, and the ark of the covenant, which was altogether covered with gold; and within it were the golden urn, in which was the manna, and the rod of Aharun that budded, and the tablets of the covenant:
5 And above it were cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of forgiveness, about which things it is not now to speak in detail.
and above this the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat. But time there is not to speak upon every one of these which were thus ordained.
6 And these things thus having been prepared, the priests indeed enter into the first part of the tabernacle continually, accomplishing the services.
Now, into the outer sanctuary at all times entered the priests, and fulfilled their offices;
7 But into the second part, the high priest alone, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people,
but into the tabernacle which was within, one day in the year, alone, entered the high priest, with that blood which he offered for himself and the sins of the people.
8 this signifying from the Holy Spirit, the way into the holy things is not yet to be made known while the first tabernacle still remains.
By this the Spirit of Holiness made known that the way of the holies was not yet manifested, so long as was the standing of the first tabernacle.
9 Which is a figure for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able to make the man officiating fully perfect in respect to conscience,
And this was a figurative representation for the time in which oblations and victims have been offered; -those which have not been able to perfect the consciousness of him who offered them;
10 only in foods and drinks and various washings: carnal ordinances imposed until a time of reformation.
but (have consisted) in meat and drink only, and in various kinds of baptism, being institutions of the flesh appointed until the time of setting right.
11 But Christ, having arrived a high priest of the good things that are coming, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,
But the Meshiha who hath come was a High Priest of good things which he wrought out, and hath entered into the great and perfect tabernacle (which was) not made with hands, nor made from these creatures.
12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, he entered in once into the Holy things, having found eternal redemption. (aiōnios )
Nor entered he with the blood of goats and calves, but with the blood of himself he entered once the holy place, and hath found eternal redemption. (aiōnios )
13 For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those who were defiled, sanctifies for the purification of the flesh,
For if the blood of goats and of calves, and the dust of an heifer, sprinkled upon those who were unclean, sanctifieth them for the purification of their flesh,
14 how much more the blood of Christ, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself unblemished to God, will cleanse your conscience from dead works in order to serve a living God? (aiōnios )
how much more then shall the blood of the Meshiha, who, by the Eternal Spirit, himself hath offered without spot unto Aloha, purify our conscience from dead works, to serve the Aloha the Living? (aiōnios )
15 And because of this he is mediator of a new covenant, so that a death having occurred for the redemption of the transgressions against the first covenant, those who are called might take the promise of the eternal inheritance. (aiōnios )
For this was he made the Mediator of the new covenant, that by his death he might become the ransom for those who had transgressed against the first covenant, (and) that they might receive the promise, they, who are called unto the inheritance which is eternal. (aiōnios )
16 For where a covenant is, a necessity is to present the death of the man who made the covenant.
For where a covenant is, there is indicated the DEATH of that which made it.
17 For a covenant is effective with the dead, since it is never enforced while the man who made the covenant lives.
For upon death only is it confirmed; because while he who made it lived there is no value in it.
18 Whereupon neither has the first been dedicated without blood.
Wherefore neither the first without blood was confirmed.
19 For of every commandment according to law that was spoken by Moses to all the people, after taking the blood of the calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
For when every precept had been enjoined by Musha to the whole people according to the law, Musha took the blood of the heifer, and water, with the scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled upon the books and upon all the people,
20 saying, This is the blood of the covenant that God made for you.
and said to them, This is the blood of that covenant which is commanded by Aloha.
21 And likewise he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service.
Also upon the tabernacle and upon all the vessels of the service from it with blood he sprinkled.
22 And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood, and remission does not occur without bloodshed.
Because every thing with blood was purified under the law; and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
23 Indeed therefore, a necessity was for the models of the things in the heavens themselves to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things with better sacrifices than these.
For it was necessary that these which are a type of the heavenlies, with (these) things should be purified; but the heavenlies themselves with sacrifices that are more excellent than they.
24 For the Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, representative of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.
For not into the sanctuary made with hands hath the Meshiha entered, which is an emblem of the true one, but into heaven itself hath he entered, that he might appear before the face of Aloha for us.
25 And not so that he might offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the Holy things each year with blood by another,
Nor that he should offer himself many times, as did the chief of the priests, entering every year into the holy place with blood not his own;
26 since it would be necessary for him to suffer often, from the foundation of the world. But now once, at the end of the ages, he was made known for an annulment of sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn )
otherwise he would have been obligated many times to suffer from the beginning of the world. But now, in the end of the world, once hath he offered himself, that by his sacrifice he might abolish sin. (aiōn )
27 And inasmuch as it is reserved to men once to die, and after this, judgment,
And as it is ordained to the sons of men, that they must once die, and after their death the judgment;
28 so also the Christ, having been offered once in order to take up the sins of many, will appear a second time, independent of sin, to those waiting for him for salvation.
so also the Meshiha was once offered, and in his (own) person sacrificed (for) the sins of many; but the second time without sins he appeareth for the salvation of them who expect him.
