Hebrews 8
1 Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,
Asɛm a yɛgyina so kasa no ne sɛ: Yɛwɔ Ɔsɔfopanin a ɔte Otumfoɔ a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no ahennwa no nifa.
2 As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, 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 Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.
Wɔyi Ɔsɔfopanin biara sɛ ɔmfa akyɛdeɛ ne mmoa mmɔ Onyankopɔn afɔdeɛ. Ɛno enti ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn Sɔfopanin nya biribi a ɔde bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ.
4 If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by 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 Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in 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 But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.
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 agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.
Sɛ na apam a ɛdi ɛkan no yɛ a, anka ɛho nhia sɛ wɔbɛyɛ apam a ɛtɔ so mmienu no.
8 For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement 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 Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand, to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; for they did not keep the agreement with me, and I gave them up, says the Lord.
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 agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in 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 And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.
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 And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind.
Mɛhunu wɔn mmɔbɔ wɔn bɔne ho; na merenkae wɔn bɔne bio.”
13 When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.
Frɛ a wɔfrɛ saa apam yi “Foforɔ” no ama deɛ wɔyɛɛ kane no ayɛ dada; na biribiara a anyini ayɛ dada no nkyɛre yera.
