Hebrews 9
1 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.
Habuit quidem et prius, iustificationes culturae, et Sanctum saeculare.
2 A tabernacle was prepared. In its first room were the lampstand, the table, and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.
Tabernaculum enim factum est primum, in quo erant candelabra, et mensa, et propositio panum, quae dicitur Sancta.
3 Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,
Post velamentum autem secundum, tabernaculum, quod dicitur Sancta sanctorum:
4 containing the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. Inside the ark were the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
aureum habens turibulum, et arcam testamenti circumtectam ex omni parte auro, in qua urna aurea habens manna, et virga Aaron, quae fronduerat, et tabulae testamenti,
5 Above the ark were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
superque eam erant Cherubim gloriae obumbrantia propitiatorium: de quibus non est modo dicendum per singula.
6 When everything had been prepared in this way, the priests entered regularly into the first room to perform their sacred duties.
His vero ita compositis: in priori quidem tabernaculo semper introibant sacerdotes, sacrificiorum officia consummantes:
7 But only the high priest entered the second room, and then only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.
in secundo autem semel in anno solus pontifex non sine sanguine, quem offerret pro sua, et populi ignorantia:
8 By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.
hoc significante Spiritu sancto, nondum propalatam esse sanctorum viam, adhuc priore tabernaculo habente statum.
9 It is an illustration for the present time, because the gifts and sacrifices being offered were unable to cleanse the conscience of the worshiper.
quae parabola est temporis instantis: iuxta quam munera, et hostiae offeruntur, quae non possunt iuxta conscientiam perfectum facere servientem, solummodo in cibis, et in potibus,
10 They consist only in food and drink and special washings—external regulations imposed until the time of reform.
et in variis baptismatibus, et iustitiis carnis usque ad tempus correctionis impositis.
11 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come, He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made by hands and is not a part of this creation.
Christus autem assistens pontifex futurorum bonorum, per amplius et perfectius tabernaculum non manufactum, id est, non huius creationis:
12 He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)
neque per sanguinem hircorum, aut vitulorum, sed per proprium sanguinem introivit semel in Sancta, aeterna redemptione inventa. (aiōnios g166)
13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that their bodies are clean,
Si enim sanguis hircorum, et taurorum, et cinis vitulae aspersus inquinatos sanctificat ad emundationem carnis:
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God! (aiōnios g166)
quanto magis sanguis Christi, qui per Spiritum sanctum semetipsum obtulit immaculatum Deo, emundabit conscientiam nostram ab operibus mortuis, ad serviendum Deo viventi? (aiōnios g166)
15 Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. (aiōnios g166)
Et ideo novi testamenti mediator est: ut morte intercedente, in redemptionem earum praevaricationum, quae erant sub priori testamento, repromissionem accipiant qui vocati sunt aeternae hereditatis. (aiōnios g166)
16 In the case of a will, it is necessary to establish the death of the one who made it,
Ubi enim testamentum est: mors necesse est intercedat testatoris.
17 because a will does not take effect until the one who made it has died; it cannot be executed while he is still alive.
Testamentum enim in mortuis confirmatum est: alioquin nondum valet, dum vivit qui testatus est.
18 That is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.
Unde nec primum quidem sine sanguine dedicatum est.
19 For when Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people,
Lecto enim omni mandato legis a Moyse universo populo: accipiens sanguinem vitulorum et hircorum cum aqua et lana coccinea, et hyssopo: ipsum quoque librum, et omnem populum aspersit,
20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”
dicens: Hic sanguis testamenti, quod mandavit ad vos Deus.
21 In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.
Etiam tabernaculum, et omnia vasa ministerii sanguine similiter aspersit:
22 According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Et omnia pene in sanguine secundum legem mundantur: et sine sanguinis effusione non fit remissio.
23 So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Necesse est ergo exemplaria quidem caelestium his mundari: ipsa autem caelestia melioribus hostiis quam istis.
24 For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God.
Non enim in manufacta Sancta Iesus introivit exemplaria verorum: sed in ipsum caelum, ut appareat nunc vultui Dei pro nobis:
25 Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.
Neque ut saepe offerat semetipsum, quemadmodum Pontifex intrat in Sancta per singulos annos in sanguine alieno:
26 Otherwise, Christ would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself. (aiōn g165)
alioquin oportebat eum frequenter pati ab origine mundi: nunc autem semel in consummatione saeculorum, ad destitutionem peccati, per hostiam suam apparuit. (aiōn g165)
27 Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment,
Et quemadmodum statutum est hominibus semel mori, post hoc autem iudicium:
28 so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him.
sic et Christus semel oblatus est ad multorum exhaurienda peccata: secundo sine peccato apparebit omnibus expectantibus se, in salutem.
