Hebrews 8
1 Nowe of the things which we haue spoken, this is the summe, that wee haue such an hie Priest, that sitteth at the right hand of the throne of the Maiestie in heauens,
Capitulum autem super ea, quæ dicuntur: Talem habemus Pontificem, qui consedit in dextera sedis magnitudinis in cælis,
2 And is a minister of the Sanctuarie, and of that true Tabernacle which the Lord pight, and not man.
sanctorum minister, et tabernaculi veri, quod fixit Dominus, et non homo.
3 For euery high Priest is ordeined to offer both giftes and sacrifices: wherefore it was of necessitie, that this man shoulde haue somewhat also to offer.
Omnis enim pontifex ad offerendum munera, et hostias constituitur: unde necesse est et hunc habere aliquid, quod offerat:
4 For he were not a Priest, if he were on the earth, seeing there are Priestes that according to the Lawe offer giftes,
si ergo esset super terram, nec esset sacerdos: cum essent qui offerent secundum legem munera,
5 Who serue vnto the paterne and shadowe of heauenly things, as Moses was warned by God, whe he was about to finish the Tabernacle. See, saide hee, that thou make all thinges according to the paterne, shewed to thee in the mount.
qui exemplari, et umbræ deserviunt cælestium. Sicut responsum est Moysi, cum consummaret tabernaculum: Vide (inquit) omnia facito secundum exemplar, quod tibi ostensum est in monte.
6 But nowe our hie Priest hath obteined a more excellent office, in as much as he is the Mediatour of a better Testament, which is established vpon better promises.
Nunc autem melius sortitus est ministerium, quanto et melioris testamenti mediator est, quod in melioribus repromissionibus sancitum est.
7 For if that first Testament had bene vnblameable, no place should haue bene sought for the second.
Nam si illud prius culpa vacasset: non utique secundi locus inquireretur.
8 For in rebuking them he saith, Beholde, the dayes will come, saith the Lord, when I shall make with the house of Israel, and with the house of Iuda a newe Testament:
Vituperans enim eos dicit: Ecce dies venient, dicit Dominus: et consummabo super domum Israel, et super domum Iuda testamentum novum,
9 Not like the Testament that I made with their fathers, in the day that I tooke them by the hand, to leade them out of the land of Egypt: for they continued not in my Testament, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
non secundum testamentum, quod feci patribus eorum in die, qua apprehendi manum eorum ut educerem illos de Terra Ægypti: quoniam ipsi non permanserunt in testamento meo: et ego neglexi eos, dicit Dominus:
10 For this is the Testament that I will make with the house of Israel, After those dayes, saith the Lord, I will put my Lawes in their minde, and in their heart I will write them, and I wil be their God, and they shalbe my people,
Quia hoc est testamentum, quod disponam domui Israel post dies illos, dicit Dominus: Dando leges meas in mentem eorum, et in corde eorum superscribam eas: et ero eis in Deum, et ipsi erunt mihi in populum:
11 And they shall not teache euery man his neighbour and euery man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall knowe me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
et non docebit unusquisque proximum suum, et unusquisque fratrem suum, dicens: Cognosce Dominum: quoniam omnes scient me a minore usque ad maiorem eorum:
12 For I will bee mercifull to their vnrighteousnes, and I wil remember their sinnes and their iniquities no more.
quia propitius ero iniquitatibus eorum, et peccatorum eorum iam non memorabor.
13 In that he saith a new Testament, he hath abrogate the olde: nowe that which is disanulled and waxed olde, is ready to vanish away.
Dicendo autem novum: veteravit prius. Quod autem antiquatur, et senescit, prope interitum est.
