Hebrews 8
1 The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
Asɛm a yɛgyina so kasa no ne sɛ: Yɛwɔ Ɔsɔfopanin a ɔte Otumfoɔ a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no ahennwa no nifa.
2 and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.
Ɔsom sɛ Ɔsɔfopanin wɔ Kronkronbea hɔ a ɛyɛ ntomadan a ɛwɔ ɔsoro. Saa ntomadan yi, Awurade ankasa na ɔsiiɛ na ɛnyɛ onipa.
3 And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.
Wɔyi Ɔsɔfopanin biara sɛ ɔmfa akyɛdeɛ ne mmoa mmɔ Onyankopɔn afɔdeɛ. Ɛno enti ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn Sɔfopanin nya biribi a ɔde bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ.
4 Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.
Sɛ Yesu wɔ asase so a, anka ɔrenyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ koraa ɛfiri sɛ, asɔfoɔ wɔ hɔ a wɔde afɔrebɔdeɛ ma, sɛdeɛ Yudafoɔ mmara kyerɛ no.
5 The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
Nanso dwuma a wɔdi sɛ asɔfoɔ no yɛ ɔsoro nsususoɔ bi kwa. Ɛte sɛ Mose berɛ so deɛ no ara pɛ. Ɛberɛ a ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔsi ntomadan no, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Si no sɛdeɛ merekyerɛ wo wɔ bepɔ no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.”
6 Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.
Afei deɛ, wɔama Yesu asɔfodwuma a ɛso kyɛn wɔn deɛ no. Yesu yɛ apam a ɛkyɛn so a wɔgyina bɔhyɛ a ɛkyɛn so so hyɛeɛ no ntamgyinafoɔ.
7 For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.
Sɛ na apam a ɛdi ɛkan no yɛ a, anka ɛho nhia sɛ wɔbɛyɛ apam a ɛtɔ so mmienu no.
8 But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn hunuu mfomsoɔ wɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ ho ɛberɛ a ɔkaa sɛ, “Nna bi reba, Awurade na ɔseɛ, a me ne Israelfoɔ ne Yuda abusuakuo bɛhyehyɛ apam foforɔ.
9 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them,
Ɛrenyɛ sɛ apam a me ne wɔn agyanom yɛeɛ no ɛberɛ a mesɔɔ wɔn nsa dii wɔn anim firii Misraim no. Wɔanni apam a me ne wɔn hyehyɛeɛ no ho nokorɛ, ɛno enti mante mʼani anhwɛ wɔn, Awurade na ɔseɛ.
10 For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
Afei, yei ne apam a me ne Israelfoɔ bɛhyehyɛ ɛberɛ a ɛreba no mu, Awurade na ɔseɛ: Mede me mmara bɛhyɛ wɔn adwenem na matwerɛ agu wɔn akoma mu. Mɛyɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn, na wɔayɛ me nkurɔfoɔ.
11 No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.
Wɔn mu biara renka nkyerɛ ne yɔnko anaa ne kuromni sɛ, ‘Hunu Awurade,’ ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu me firi akumaa so kɔsi ɔkɛseɛ so.
12 For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”
Mɛhunu wɔn mmɔbɔ wɔn bɔne ho; na merenkae wɔn bɔne bio.”
13 By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
Frɛ a wɔfrɛ saa apam yi “Foforɔ” no ama deɛ wɔyɛɛ kane no ayɛ dada; na biribiara a anyini ayɛ dada no nkyɛre yera.
