Hebrews 10
1 The law is just a shadow of the good that was to come, and not the actual reality. So it can never through the repeated sacrifices offered year after year make right those who come to worship God.
I te mea ko to te ture he atarangi no nga mea pai e puta ana mai i muri, ehara i te ahua pu o aua mea, e kore e whai mana i aua patunga tapu e whakaeketia tonutia ana e ratou i tenei tau, i tenei tau, e tino tika ai te hunga e whakatata ana.
2 Otherwise wouldn't the sacrifices have stopped being offered? If the worshipers had been made clean once and for all, they wouldn't have had guilty consciences any longer.
Penei e kore ranei e mutu te whakaeke? me i oti hoki te hunga nana taua karakia te mea kia ma, kua kore o ratou mahara ki nga hara?
3 But in fact those sacrifices remind people of sins year after year,
I aua patunga tapu ia e hokihoki ana te mahara ki nga hara i ia tau, i ia tau.
4 because it's impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to remove sins.
E kore hoki e tau ma nga toto o nga puru, o nga koati e whakakahore nga hara.
5 That's why when Christ came into the world he said, “You didn't want sacrifices or offerings, but you did prepare a body for me.
Na reira i a ia e haere mai ana ki te ao, ka mea ia, Kihai i matenuitia e koe te patunga tapu me te whakahere, kua rite mai i a koe he tinana moku.
6 Burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin gave you no pleasure.
Kihai koe i ahuareka ki nga tahunga tinana ki nga whakahere hara:
7 Then I said, ‘God, see I've come to do what you want me to do, just as it says about me in the book.’”
Katahi ahau ka mea atu, Tenei ahau te haere atu nei, kei roto i te upoko o te pukapuka te tuhituhinga moku, ki te mea i tau i pai ai, e te Atua.
8 As mentioned above, “You didn't want sacrifices or offerings, and burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin gave you no pleasure,” (even though they are offered in accordance with the law's requirements).
I tana meatanga i mua ake, Kihai koe i matenui ki te patunga tapu, ki te whakahere, ki nga tahunga tinana, ki nga whakahere hara, kahore ano hoki ou ahuareka mai, he mea nei e tapaea ana i runga i te ture;
9 Then he said, “See, I've come to do what you want.” He gets rid of the first agreement so he can set up the second,
Katahi ia ka mea, Tenei ahau te haere atu nei ki te mea i tau i pai ai, e te Atua. E tangohia ana e ia te tuatahi, kia whakaturia ai e ia te tuarua.
10 through which we all are made holy through Jesus Christ offering his body once and for all time.
Na taua pai nei i oti ai tatou te whakatapu, he meatanga na te tapaenga atu kotahi o te tinana o Ihu Karaiti.
11 Every priest officiates in the services day after day, again and again offering the same sacrifices that can never remove sins.
Na, ko nga tohunga katoa, e tu ana ratou, e minita ana i tenei ra, i tenei ra, he maha ano hoki a ratou whakaekenga atu i aua patunga tapu ra ano, e kore rawa nei e tau hei tango i nga hara:
12 But this Priest, after he had offered for sins a single sacrifice that lasts forever, sat down at God's right hand.
Ko tenei ia, kotahi nei tana patunga tapu i whakaeke atu ai mo nga hara, noho tonu atu i te ringa matau o te Atua;
13 Now he waits until all his enemies are conquered, becoming like a footstool for him.
I muri nei he tatari tana kia waiho ra ano ona hoariri hei takahanga mo ona waewae.
14 For by a single sacrifice he has set right forever those who are being made holy.
Kotahi nei hoki tana whakahere, a tika tonu i a ia ake ake te hunga ka oti te whakatapu.
15 As the Holy Spirit also tells us, for having said,
Hei kaiwhakaatu ano te Wairua Tapu mo tenei ki a tatou: i muri mai i tana kiinga mai,
16 “This is the agreement that I will make with them later on, says the Lord. I will put my laws inside them, and I will write them in their minds.” Then he adds,
Ko te kawenata tenei e whakaritea e ahau ki a ratou i muri i aua ra, e ki ana te Ariki, ka hoatu e ahau aku ture ki o ratou ngakau, ka tuhituhia hoki e ahau ki o ratou hinengaro; a ka mea ano ia,
17 “I won't remember their sins and lawlessness anymore.”
E kore hoki e maharatia e ahau o ratou hara, o ratou kino a mua ake.
18 Once free from such things, sin offerings are no longer needed.
Na, ki te murua enei, kahore he whakahere mo nga hara i muri iho.
19 Now we have the confidence, brothers and sisters, to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus.
Na, e oku teina, ka ai nei nga toto o Ihu hei take e maia ai tatou te tomo ki te tino wahi tapu;
20 Through his life and death, he opened up a brand-new, living way through the veil to God.
Hei ara hou mo tatou, ara hei ara ora, he mea whakatapu nana, e tika atu ana na te arai, ara na tona kikokiko;
21 Since we have such a great priest placed in charge over the house of God,
A, i te mea he nui to tatou tohunga mo te whare o te Atua;
22 let us come close to God with sincere minds, totally trusting in him. Our minds have been sprinkled to purify them from our evil way of thinking, and our bodies have been washed clean by pure water.
Kia whakatata atu tatou, i runga i te ngakau pono, i te whakapono e tino u ana, he mea tauhiuhi te ngakau, kia kore ai te hinengaro kino, he mea horoi ano hoki te tinana ki te wai marama.
23 So let us hold onto the hope we're telling others about, never hesitating, for God who promised is trustworthy.
Kia mau ta tatou whakaae ki te mea e tumanakohia atu nei, kei ngaueue; he pono hoki ta te kaiwhakaari mai;
24 Let's think about how we can motivate one another to love and to do what is good.
Kia whai whakaaro ano tatou tetahi ki tetahi, kia whakaohokia te aroha me nga mahi pai:
25 We should not give up meeting together, as some have done. In fact we should be encouraging one another, especially as you see the End approaching.
Kei mahue te huihui i a tatou ano, kei pera me te hanga a etahi; engari me whakahauhau tetahi i tetahi: kia nui rawa ano hoki i te mea ka kite koutou ka tata te ra.
26 For if we deliberately go on sinning after we've understood the truth, there's no longer any sacrifice for sins.
Ki te hara hoki tatou i muri iho i to tatou whiwhinga ki te matauranga ki te pono, kahore atu hoki he patunga tapu i mahue mo nga hara;
27 All that's left is fear, expecting the impending judgment and the terrible fire that destroys those who are hostile to God.
Engari ka tatari ahua mataku ki te whakawa, ki te riri kino ano na te ahi, e whakangaromia ai nga hoariri.
28 Someone who rejects the law of Moses is put to death without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.
Ko te tangata i takahi i te ture a Mohi kihai i tohungia, ka mate i runga i te kupu a nga kaiwhakaatu tokorua, tokotoru ranei:
29 How much worse do you think someone will deserve their punishment if they have trampled underfoot the Son of God, if they have disregarded the blood that sealed the agreement and makes us holy, treating it as ordinary and trivial, and have abused the Spirit of grace?
Ki to koutou whakaaro, e kore ranei e tika kia rahi ake te whiu mo te tangata i takahia ai te Tama a te Atua, i meinga ai hei mea noa nga toto o te kawenata i whakatapua ai ia, a whakaiti ana i te Wairua o te aroha noa?
30 We know God, and he said, “I will make sure that justice is done; I will give people what they deserve.” He also said, “The Lord will judge his people.”
E matau ana hoki tatou na wai tenei kupu, Maku te rapu utu; maku te hoatu utu, e ai ta te Ariki: me tenei ano, E whakawa te Ariki mo tana iwi.
31 It's terrifying to come under the power of the living God.
He mea mataku te taka ki roto ki nga ringaringa o te Atua ora.
32 Just remember the past when, after you understood the truth, you experienced a great deal of suffering.
Engari kia mahara ki nga ra o mua, i a koutou i whakamaramatia ra, he nui noa atu nga rauhanga a te mate, i whakaririka kau na koutou;
33 Sometimes you were made a spectacle of, being insulted and attacked; at other times you stood in solidarity with those who were suffering.
Ko tetahi wahi, i a koutou i meinga e nga tawainga, e nga tukinotanga hei mea matakitaki; ko tetahi wahi, i a koutou i meinga hei hoa mo te hunga i peratia.
34 You showed your sympathy for those in prison, and took it cheerfully when your possessions were confiscated, knowing that you have something better coming that will truly last.
I mamae tahi hoki koutou me te hunga i te herehere, i hari hoki ki te pahuatanga o o koutou taonga, i mahara hoki tera atu he taonga mo koutou, he mea pai ake, he mea pumau tonu.
35 So don't lose your confidence in God—it will be richly rewarded.
Na, kaua e whakarerea to koutou maia, he rahi hoki tona utu.
36 You need to be patient so that having done what God wants, you'll receive what he has promised.
Ko te mea hoki hei matenuitanga ma koutou he manawanui; kia oti ai i a koutou te mahi ta te Atua i pai ai, e riro tonu ai i a koutou nga mea i whakaaria mai ra.
37 “In just a little while he will come, as he said—he won't delay.
Potopoto kau ake hoki, a ka tae mai tenei e haere mai nei, e kore ano e whakaroa.
38 Those who do what is right will live by trusting in God, and if they draw back from their commitment, I won't be pleased with them.”
Ma te whakapono ia e ora ai te tangata tika: a ki te hoki tetahi ki muri, e kore toku wairua e ahuareka ki a ia.
39 But we're not the kind of people who draw back and end up being lost. We are those who trust in God to save us.
Otiia ehara tatou i te hunga e hoki ana ki muri, ki te whakangaromanga, engari no te hunga e whakapono ana, a ora ana te wairua.
