Hebrews 10
1 For the law, having a shadow of the coming good things, not the image itself of the things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually yearly, perfect those who approach.
For the lawe hauinge a schadewe of good thingis `that ben to come, not the ilke image of thingis, mai neuer make men neiyinge perfit bi the ilke same sacrifices, which thei offren without ceessing bi alle yeeris;
2 Since, would they not indeed have ceased being offered, on account of the worshippers once purged having no longer any conscience of sins?
ellis thei schulden haue ceessid to be offrid, for as myche as the worschiperis clensid onys, hadden not ferthermore conscience of synne.
3 But in these [there is] a calling to mind of sins yearly.
But in hem mynde of synnes is maad bi alle yeris.
4 For blood of bulls and goats [is] incapable of taking away sins.
For it is impossible that synnes be doon awei bi blood of boolis, and of buckis of geet.
5 Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body.
Therfor he entrynge in to the world, seith, Thou woldist not sacrifice and offryng; but thou hast schapun a bodi to me;
6 Thou tookest no pleasure in burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin.
brent sacrificis also for synne plesiden not to thee.
7 Then I said, Lo, I come (in [the] roll of the book it is written of me) to do, O God, thy will.
Thanne Y seide, Lo! Y come; in the bigynnyng of the book it is writun of me, that Y do thi wille, God.
8 Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (which are offered according to the law);
He seiynge bifor, That thou woldist not sacrificis, and offringis, and brent sacrifices for synne, ne tho thingis ben plesaunt to thee, whiche ben offrid bi the lawe,
9 then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first that he may establish the second;
thanne Y seide, Lo! Y come, that Y do thi wille, God. He doith awei the firste, that he make stidfast the secounde.
10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
In which wille we ben halewid bi the offring of the bodi of Crist Jhesu onys.
11 And every priest stands daily ministering, and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
And ech prest is redi mynystrynge ech dai, and ofte tymes offringe the same sacrifices, whiche moun neuere do awei synnes.
12 But he, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at [the] right hand of God,
But this man offringe o sacrifice for synnes, for euere more sittith in the riythalf of God the fadir;
13 waiting from henceforth until his enemies be set [for the] footstool of his feet.
fro thennus forth abidinge, til hise enemyes ben put a stool of hise feet.
14 For by one offering he has perfected in perpetuity the sanctified.
For bi oon offring he made perfit for euere halewid men.
15 And the Holy Spirit also bears us witness [of it]; for after what was said:
And the Hooli Goost witnessith to vs; for aftir that he seide, This is the testament,
16 This [is] the covenant which I will establish towards them after those days, saith [the] Lord: Giving my laws into their hearts, I will write them also in their understandings;
which Y schal witnesse to hem after tho daies, the Lord seith, in yyuynge my lawes in the hertis of hem, and in the soulis of hem Y schal aboue write hem;
17 and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.
and now Y schal no more thenke on the synnes and the wickidnessis of hem.
18 But where there [is] remission of these, [there is] no longer a sacrifice for sin.
And where remyssioun of these is, now is ther noon offring for synne.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entering into the [holy of] holies by the blood of Jesus,
Therfor, britheren, hauynge trist in to the entring of hooli thingis in the blood of Crist,
20 the new and living way which he has dedicated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh,
which halewide to vs a newe weie, and lyuynge bi the hiling, that is to seie,
21 and [having] a great priest over the house of God,
his fleisch, and we hauynge the greet preest on the hous of God,
22 let us approach with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, sprinkled as to our hearts from a wicked conscience, and washed as to our body with pure water.
neiye we with very herte in the plente of feith; and be oure hertis spreined fro an yuel conscience, and oure bodies waischun with clene watir,
23 Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he [is] faithful who has promised; )
and holde we the confessioun of oure hope, bowinge to no side; for he is trewe that hath made the biheeste.
24 and let us consider one another for provoking to love and good works;
And biholde we togidere in the stiring of charite and of good werkis; not forsakinge oure gadering togidere,
25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom [is] with some; but encouraging [one another], and by so much the more as ye see the day drawing near.
as it is of custom to sum men, but coumfortinge, and bi so myche the more, bi hou myche ye seen the dai neiyynge.
26 For where we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins,
Forwhi now a sacrifice for synnes is not left to vs, that synnen wilfuli, aftir that we han take the knowyng of treuthe.
27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and heat of fire about to devour the adversaries.
Forwhi sum abiding of the dom is dreedful, and the suyng of fier, which schal waste aduersaries.
28 Any one that has disregarded Moses' law dies without mercy on [the testimony of] two or three witnesses:
Who that brekith Moises lawe, dieth withouten ony merci, bi tweine or thre witnessis;
29 of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and esteemed the blood of the covenant, whereby he has been sanctified, common, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
hou myche more gessen ye, that he disserueth worse turmentis, which defouleth the sone of God, and holdith the blood of the testament pollut, in which he is halewid, and doith dispit to the spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that said, To me [belongs] vengeance; I will recompense, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall judge his people.
For we knowen him that seide, To me veniaunce, and Y schal yelde. And eft, For the Lord schal deme his puple.
31 [It is] a fearful thing falling into [the] hands of [the] living God.
It is ferdful to falle in to the hondis of God lyuynge.
32 But call to mind the earlier days in which, having been enlightened, ye endured much conflict of sufferings;
And haue ye mynde on the formere daies, in which ye weren liytned, and suffriden greet strijf of passiouns.
33 on the one hand, when ye were made a spectacle both in reproaches and afflictions; and on the other, when ye became partakers with those who were passing through them.
And in the `tothir ye weren maad a spectacle bi schenschipis and tribulaciouns; in an othir ye weren maad felowis of men lyuynge so.
34 For ye both sympathised with prisoners and accepted with joy the plunder of your goods, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better substance, and an abiding one.
For also to boundun men ye hadden compassioun, and ye resseyueden with ioye the robbyng of youre goodis, knowinge that ye han a betere and a dwellinge substaunce.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense.
Therfor nyle ye leese youre trist, which hath greet rewarding.
36 For ye have need of endurance in order that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.
For pacience is nedeful to you, that ye do the wille of God, and bringe ayen the biheest.
37 For yet a very little while he that comes will come, and will not delay.
For yit a litil, and he that is to comynge schal come, and he schal not tarie.
38 But the just shall live by faith; and, if he draw back, my soul does not take pleasure in him.
For my iust man lyueth of feith; that if he withdrawith hym silf, he schal not plese to my soule.
39 But we are not drawers back to perdition, but of faith to saving [the] soul.
But we ben not the sones of withdrawing awei in to perdicioun, but of feith in to getynge of soule.
