Hebrews 8
1 Now a summary of the things of which we are speaking [is], We have such a one high priest who has sat down on [the] right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens;
Lo principal de lo que decimos es que tenemos un Sumo Sacerdote que se sentó a la derecha del trono de la Majestad en los cielos,
2 minister of the holy places and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord has pitched, [and] not man.
Ministro del santuario y del verdadero Tabernáculo, erigido por el Señor y no el hombre.
3 For every high priest is constituted for the offering both of gifts and sacrifices; whence it is needful that this one also should have something which he may offer.
Porque todo sumo sacerdote es designado para ofrecer ofrendas y sacrificios, por lo cual es necesario que Éste también tenga algo para ofrecer.
4 If then indeed he were upon earth, he would not even be a priest, there being those who offer the gifts according to the law,
Así que, ni siquiera sería sacerdote si estuviera en [la] tierra, donde hay los que presentan las ofrendas según [la] Ley,
5 (who serve the representation and shadow of heavenly things, according as Moses was oracularly told [when] about to make the tabernacle; for See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern which has been shewn to thee in the mountain.)
los cuales sirven de modelo y sombra de las cosas celestiales, como se le advirtió a Moisés cuando iba a erigir el Tabernáculo: Mira, le dice: Haz todas las cosas según el modelo que se te mostró en la montaña.
6 But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.
Pero ahora [Jesús] tiene un ministerio mejor, por cuanto es Mediador de un Pacto mejor establecido sobre promesas mejores.
7 For if that first was faultless, place had not been sought for a second.
Porque si el primero fuera sin defecto, [el] segundo no hubiera sido necesario.
8 For finding fault, he says to them, Behold, days come, saith the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant as regards the house of Israel, and as regards the house of Juda;
Porque al reprenderlos dice: Miren, vienen días, dice [el] Señor, en los cuales estableceré un Nuevo Pacto con la casa de Israel y con la casa de Judá,
9 not according to the covenant which I made to their fathers in [the] day of my taking their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in my covenant, and I did not regard them, saith [the] Lord.
No como el Pacto que hice con sus antepasados el día cuando los tomé de la mano para sacarlos de [la] tierra de Egipto. Porque ellos no permanecieron en mi Pacto, y Yo los desatendí, dice el Señor.
10 Because this [is] the covenant that I will covenant to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their mind, I will write them also upon their hearts; and I will be to them for God, and they shall be to me for people.
Porque éste es el Pacto que estableceré con la casa de Israel después de aquellos días, dice [el] Señor, grabaré mis Leyes en la mente de ellos y las escribiré sobre sus corazones. [Yo] les seré Dios, y ellos me serán pueblo.
11 And they shall not teach each his fellow-citizen, and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; because all shall know me in themselves, from [the] little one [among them] unto [the] great among them.
Que de ningún modo [alguno] enseñe a su conciudadano, ni le diga a su hermano: conoce al Señor. Porque todos me conocerán, desde [el] menor hasta [el] mayor de ellos.
12 Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.
Porque tendré misericordia de ellos en relación con sus iniquidades, y que de ningún modo me acuerde de sus pecados.
13 In that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged [is] near disappearing.
Al decir: Nuevo [Pacto], trató como obsoleto el primero, porque lo tratado como obsoleto caduca. Está cerca de desaparecer.
