Hebrews 9
1 The former system had instructions as to how to worship, and an earthly sanctuary.
sa prathamō niyama ārādhanāyā vividharītibhiraihikapavitrasthānēna ca viśiṣṭa āsīt|
2 The first room in the Tabernacle housed the candlestick, the table, and the sacred bread. This was called the Holy Place.
yatō dūṣyamēkaṁ niramīyata tasya prathamakōṣṭhasya nāma pavitrasthānamityāsīt tatra dīpavr̥kṣō bhōjanāsanaṁ darśanīyapūpānāṁ śrēṇī cāsīt|
3 Past the second veil in the Tabernacle was the room called the Most Holy Place.
tatpaścād dvitīyāyāstiraṣkariṇyā abhyantarē 'tipavitrasthānamitināmakaṁ kōṣṭhamāsīt,
4 This contained the golden altar of incense, the gold-covered “agreement chest.” Inside this were the golden pot containing manna, Aaron's rod that had produced buds, and the stone inscriptions of the agreement.
tatra ca suvarṇamayō dhūpādhāraḥ paritaḥ suvarṇamaṇḍitā niyamamañjūṣā cāsīt tanmadhyē mānnāyāḥ suvarṇaghaṭō hārōṇasya mañjaritadaṇḍastakṣitau niyamaprastarau,
5 Above this were the glorious angel cherubim covering the place of reconciliation. We can't discuss all of this in detail now.
tadupari ca karuṇāsanē chāyākāriṇau tējōmayau kirūbāvāstām, ētēṣāṁ viśēṣavr̥ttāntakathanāya nāyaṁ samayaḥ|
6 Once all of this had been set up, the priests would go in regularly to the first room of the Tabernacle to perform their duties.
ētēṣvīdr̥k nirmmitēṣu yājakā īśvarasēvām anutiṣṭhanatō dūṣyasya prathamakōṣṭhaṁ nityaṁ praviśanti|
7 But only the high priest went into the second room, and only once a year. Even then he had to make a sacrifice involving blood, which he offered for himself and for the people's sins of ignorance.
kintu dvitīyaṁ kōṣṭhaṁ prativarṣam ēkakr̥tva ēkākinā mahāyājakēna praviśyatē kintvātmanimittaṁ lōkānām ajñānakr̥tapāpānāñca nimittam utsarjjanīyaṁ rudhiram anādāya tēna na praviśyatē|
8 By this the Holy Spirit indicated that the way into the true Most Holy Place hadn't been revealed while the first Tabernacle still existed.
ityanēna pavitra ātmā yat jñāpayati tadidaṁ tat prathamaṁ dūṣyaṁ yāvat tiṣṭhati tāvat mahāpavitrasthānagāmī panthā aprakāśitastiṣṭhati|
9 This is an illustration for us in the present, showing us that the gifts and sacrifices that are offered can't make the worshiper's conscience clear.
tacca dūṣyaṁ varttamānasamayasya dr̥ṣṭāntaḥ, yatō hētōḥ sāmprataṁ saṁśōdhanakālaṁ yāvad yannirūpitaṁ tadanusārāt sēvākāriṇō mānasikasiddhikaraṇē'samarthābhiḥ
10 They're just religious regulations—about food and drink, and various ceremonies involving washing—which were put in place until the time of God's new way of relating to him.
kēvalaṁ khādyapēyēṣu vividhamajjanēṣu ca śārīrikarītibhi ryuktāni naivēdyāni balidānāni ca bhavanti|
11 Christ has come as a high priest of all the good experiences we now have. He went into the greater, more complete Tabernacle that wasn't made by human hands—not part of this created world.
aparaṁ bhāvimaṅgalānāṁ mahāyājakaḥ khrīṣṭa upasthāyāhastanirmmitēnārthata ētatsr̥ṣṭē rbahirbhūtēna śrēṣṭhēna siddhēna ca dūṣyēṇa gatvā
12 He didn't enter through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood. He entered once, for all time, into the Most Holy Place, setting us free forever. (aiōnios g166)
chāgānāṁ gōvatsānāṁ vā rudhiram anādāya svīyarudhiram ādāyaikakr̥tva ēva mahāpavitrasthānaṁ praviśyānantakālikāṁ muktiṁ prāptavān| (aiōnios g166)
13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a cow sprinkled on those who are ritually unclean make the body ceremonially clean,
vr̥ṣachāgānāṁ rudhirēṇa gavībhasmanaḥ prakṣēpēṇa ca yadyaśucilōkāḥ śārīriśucitvāya pūyantē,
14 how much more does the blood of Christ—who offered himself in his sinless life to God through the eternal Spirit—clean your consciences from your past sinful lives so you can serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)
tarhi kiṁ manyadhvē yaḥ sadātanēnātmanā niṣkalaṅkabalimiva svamēvēśvarāya dattavān, tasya khrīṣṭasya rudhirēṇa yuṣmākaṁ manāṁsyamarēśvarasya sēvāyai kiṁ mr̥tyujanakēbhyaḥ karmmabhyō na pavitrīkāriṣyantē? (aiōnios g166)
15 This is why he is the mediator of a new agreed relationship. Since a death has occurred to set them free from the sins committed under the first agreed relationship, now those who are called can receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)
sa nūtananiyamasya madhyasthō'bhavat tasyābhiprāyō'yaṁ yat prathamaniyamalaṅghanarūpapāpēbhyō mr̥tyunā muktau jātāyām āhūtalōkā anantakālīyasampadaḥ pratijñāphalaṁ labhēran| (aiōnios g166)
16 For a will to be implemented, the person who made it must be dead.
yatra niyamō bhavati tatra niyamasādhakasya balē rmr̥tyunā bhavitavyaṁ|
17 A will is only valid when there's been a death—and is never applied while the person who made it is still alive.
yatō hatēna balinā niyamaḥ sthirībhavati kintu niyamasādhakō bali ryāvat jīvati tāvat niyamō nirarthakastiṣṭhati|
18 That's why the first agreement was established with blood.
tasmāt sa pūrvvaniyamō'pi rudhirapātaṁ vinā na sādhitaḥ|
19 After Moses had given all the commandments of the law to everyone, he took the blood of calves and goats, and together with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, sprinkled the book itself and all the people.
phalataḥ sarvvalōkān prati vyavasthānusārēṇa sarvvā ājñāḥ kathayitvā mūsā jalēna sindūravarṇalōmnā ēṣōvatr̥ṇēna ca sārddhaṁ gōvatsānāṁ chāgānāñca rudhiraṁ gr̥hītvā granthē sarvvalōkēṣu ca prakṣipya babhāṣē,
20 He said to them, “This is the blood of the agreed relationship that God has told you he wants with you.”
yuṣmān adhīśvarō yaṁ niyamaṁ nirūpitavān tasya rudhiramētat|
21 Moses sprinkled the blood in the same way on the Tabernacle and everything used in worship.
tadvat sa dūṣyē'pi sēvārthakēṣu sarvvapātrēṣu ca rudhiraṁ prakṣiptavān|
22 According to ceremonial law, almost everything is made clean with blood, and without shedding blood nothing is made ritually free from the stain of sin.
aparaṁ vyavasthānusārēṇa prāyaśaḥ sarvvāṇi rudhirēṇa pariṣkriyantē rudhirapātaṁ vinā pāpamōcanaṁ na bhavati ca|
23 So if the copies of what is in heaven needed to be cleansed in this way, the things in heaven needed cleansing by better sacrifices.
aparaṁ yāni svargīyavastūnāṁ dr̥ṣṭāntāstēṣām ētaiḥ pāvanam āvaśyakam āsīt kintu sākṣāt svargīyavastūnām ētēbhyaḥ śrēṣṭhē rbalidānaiḥ pāvanamāvaśyakaṁ|
24 For Christ hasn't entered a Most Holy Place constructed by human beings that is only a pattern of the original. He has entered heaven itself, and now appears on our behalf, speaking for us in God's presence.
yataḥ khrīṣṭaḥ satyapavitrasthānasya dr̥ṣṭāntarūpaṁ hastakr̥taṁ pavitrasthānaṁ na praviṣṭavān kintvasmannimittam idānīm īśvarasya sākṣād upasthātuṁ svargamēva praviṣṭaḥ|
25 This was not to repeatedly offer himself, like a high priest has to enter the Most Holy Place year after year, offering blood that is not his own.
yathā ca mahāyājakaḥ prativarṣaṁ paraśōṇitamādāya mahāpavitrasthānaṁ praviśati tathā khrīṣṭēna punaḥ punarātmōtsargō na karttavyaḥ,
26 Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. No: just this one time at the end of the present age he came to remove sin by sacrificing himself. (aiōn g165)
karttavyē sati jagataḥ sr̥ṣṭikālamārabhya bahuvāraṁ tasya mr̥tyubhōga āvaśyakō'bhavat; kintvidānīṁ sa ātmōtsargēṇa pāpanāśārtham ēkakr̥tvō jagataḥ śēṣakālē pracakāśē| (aiōn g165)
27 Just as human beings die only once, and then are judged,
aparaṁ yathā mānuṣasyaikakr̥tvō maraṇaṁ tat paścād vicārō nirūpitō'sti,
28 so too for Christ—having been sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people, he will come again, not to deal with sin, but to save those who wait for him.
tadvat khrīṣṭō'pi bahūnāṁ pāpavahanārthaṁ balirūpēṇaikakr̥tva utsasr̥jē, aparaṁ dvitīyavāraṁ pāpād bhinnaḥ san yē taṁ pratīkṣantē tēṣāṁ paritrāṇārthaṁ darśanaṁ dāsyati|
