Hebrews 9

1 THEN also the first tabernacle had indeed regulations for the divine service, and a sanctuary furnished.

١ حَقّاً كَانَ الْعَهْدُ الْعَتِيقُ يَتَضَمَّنُ طُقُوساً وَقَوَانِينَ تُنَظِّمُ عِبَادَةَ اللهِ فِي خَيْمَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ مَنْصُوبَةٍ عَلَى هذِهِ الأَرْضِ.

2 For the tabernacle was prepared; the first part, in which was both the candlestick, and the table, and the shew-bread, which is called the holy.

٢ وَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ الْخَيْمَةُ الْكَبِيرَةُ تَحْتَوِي عَلَى قِسْمَيْنِ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمَا الْحِجَابُ. الْقِسْمُ الأَوَّلُ، وَاسْمُهُ «الْقُدْسُ»، كَانَ يَحْتَوِي عَلَى مَنَارَةٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ، وَمَائِدَةٍ يُوضَعُ عَلَيْهَا خُبْزٌ مُقَرَّبٌ لِلهِ.

3 But behind the second vail was the tabernacle, called the holy of holies:

٣ أَمَّا الْقِسْمُ الثَّانِي، الْوَاقِعُ وَرَاءَ الْحِجَابِ، فَكَانَ يُسَمَّى «قُدْسَ الأَقْدَاسِ»،

4 having the golden censer, and the coffer of the covenant, overlaid with gold within and without, in which were the golden urn containing the manna, and Aaron’s rod which had budded, and the stone tables of the covenant;

٤ وَيَحْتَوِي عَلى مَوْقِدٍ لِلْبَخُورِ مَصْنُوعٍ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَتَابُوتٍ مُغَشّىً بِالذَّهَبِ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، يُدْعَى «تَابُوتَ الْعَهْدِ». وَكَانَ فِي دَاخِلِ التَّابُوتِ إِنَاءٌ مَصْنُوعٌ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ يَحْتَوِي عَلَى بَعْضِ الْمَنِّ؛ وَعَصَا هَرُونَ الَّتِي أَنْبَتَتْ وَرَقاً أَخْضَرَ؛ وَاللَّوْحَانِ الْمَنْقُوشَةُ عَلَيْهِمَا وَصَايَا الْعَهْدِ.

5 and above, over it the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the propitiatory.

٥ أَمَّا فَوْقَ التَّابُوتِ، فَكَانَ يُوْجَدُ كَرُوبَا الْمَجْدِ (تِمْثَالانِ لِمَلاكَيْنِ)، يُخَيِّمَانِ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمَا عَلَى غِطَاءِ الصُّنْدُوقِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُدْعَى «كُرْسِيَّ الرَّحْمَةِ»، وَهُنَا، نَكْتَفِي بِهَذَا الْمِقْدَارِ مِنَ التَّفَاصِيلِ. فَالْمَجَالُ لَا يَتَّسِعُ لِلْمَزِيدِ.

6 Now when these things were thus disposed, the priests entered continually into the first tabernacle indeed, performing the divine services:

٦ وَبِمَا أَنَّ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ كَانَتْ مُرَتَّبَةً هَكَذَا، كَانَ الْكَهَنَةُ يَدْخُلُونَ دَائِماً إِلَى الْقِسْمِ الأَوَّلِ، حَيْثُ يَقُومُونَ بِوَاجِبَاتِ خِدْمَتِهِمْ.

7 but into the second once in every year entered the high-priest alone, not without blood, which he offered for his own inadvertencies, and for those of the people:

٧ أَمَّا الْقِسْمُ الثَّانِي، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَدْخُلُهُ إِلّا رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَحْدَهُ، مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً كُلَّ سَنَةٍ. وَكَانَ مِنَ الْوَاجِبِ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ دَماً يَرُشُّهُ عَلَى «كُرْسِيِّ الرَّحْمَةِ» تَكْفِيراً عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَعَنِ الْخَطَايَا الَّتِي ارْتَكَبَهَا الشَّعْبُ عَنْ جَهْلٍ.

8 the Holy Ghost thus signifying, that the way into the holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the first tabernacle held its station;

٨ وَبِهَذَا، يُشِيرُ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ إِلَى أَنَّ الطَّرِيقَ الْمُؤَدِّيَةَ إِلَى «قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ» الْحَقِيقِيِّ فِي السَّمَاءِ، كَانَتْ غَيْرَ مَفْتُوحَةٍ بَعْدُ. ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ الْمَسْكَنَ الأَوَّلَ مَازَالَ قَائِماً.

9 which figurative representation continues unto the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, with respect to conscience, make him perfect who performs the services,

٩ وَمَا هَذَا إِلّا صُورَةٌ لِلْوَقْتِ الْحَاضِرِ الَّذِي فِيهِ مَازَالَتِ التَّقْدِمَاتُ وَالذَّبَائِحُ تُقَرَّبُ وَفْقاً لِنِظَامِ الْعَهْدِ الْعَتِيقِ. وَلكِنَّهَا لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطَهِّرَ ضَمَائِرَ الَّذِينَ يَتَقَرَّبُونَ بِها إِلَى اللهِ، وَلا أَنْ تُوصِلَهُمْ إِلَى الْكَمَالِ فَتُرِيحَ ضَمَائِرَهُمْ.

10 as they consist only of meats, and drinks, and different ablutions, and corporal services, until the appointed time of perfect reformation.

١٠ إِذْ إِنَّ نِظَامَ الْعَهْدِ السَّابِقِ قَدِ اقْتَصَرَ عَلَى تَحْرِيمِ بَعْضِ الْمَأْكُولاتِ وَالْمَشْرُوبَاتِ وَتَحْلِيلِ غَيْرِهَا، وَعَلَى وَضْعِ النُّظُمِ الْمُخْتَصَّةِ بِطُقُوسِ الاغْتِسَالِ الْمُخْتَلِفَةِ. بَلْ إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا ضَمَّهُ ذَلِكَ النِّظَامُ كَانَ قَوَانِينَ جَسَدِيَّةً يَنْتَهِي عَمَلُهَا حِينَ يَأْتِي وَقْتُ الإِصْلاحِ.

11 But Christ becoming the high-priest of future good things, through a better and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation;

١١ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْبَرَكَاتِ السَّمَاوِيَّةَ قَدْ تَحَقَّقَتْ فِي الْمَسِيحِ. فَهُوَ الآنَ كَاهِنُنَا الأَعْلَى الَّذِي يُؤَدِّي مُهِمَّتَهُ فِي الْخَيْمَةِ الْحَقِيقِيَّةِ، وَهِيَ أَعْظَمُ وَأَكْمَلُ مِنَ الْخَيْمَةِ الأَرْضِيَّةِ. إِنَّهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ. لَمْ تَصْنَعْهَا يَدٌ بَشَرِيَّةٌ، وَلَيْسَتْ مِنْ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ الْمَادِّيِّ.

12 nor by the blood of goats and of calves, but by his own blood, he entered once for all into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)

١٢ فَإِلَى «قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ» فِي هَذِهِ الْخَيْمَةِ، دَخَلَ الْمَسِيحُ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، حَامِلاً دَمَ نَفْسِهِ، لَا دَمَ تُيُوسٍ وَعُجُولٍ. وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَمَا سَفَكَ دَمَهُ عِوَضاً عَنَّا. فَحَقَّقَ فِدَاءً أَبَدِيًّا. (aiōnios g166)

13 For if the blood of bulls, and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the defiled sanctifieth to corporal purification,

١٣ وَلا عَجَبَ! فَوَفْقاً لِلنِّظَامِ السَّابِقِ، كَانَ دَمُ الثِّيرَانِ وَالتُّيُوسِ يُرَشُّ عَلَى الْمُنَجَّسِينَ، مَعَ رَمَادِ عِجْلَةٍ مَحْرُوقَةٍ، فَيَصِيرُونَ طَاهِرِينَ طَهَارَةً جَسَدِيَّةً.

14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, by the eternal Spirit, offered up himself in sacrifice without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, that we may perform divine service to the living God? (aiōnios g166)

١٤ فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى دَمُ الْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي قَدَّمَ نَفْسَهُ لِلهِ بِرُوحٍ أَزَلِيٍّ ذَبِيحَةً لَا عَيْبَ فِيهَا، يُطَهِّرُ ضَمَائِرَنَا مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ الْمَيِّتَةِ لِنَعْبُدَ اللهَ الْحَيَّ. (aiōnios g166)

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that, death being suffered for the redemption of transgressions committed against the first testament, they who are called might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

١٥ وَلِذَلِكَ، فَالْمَسِيحُ هُوَ الْوَسِيطُ لِهَذَا الْعَهْدِ الْجَدِيدِ. فَبِمَا أَنَّهُ قَدْ تَّمَ الْمَوْتُ فِدَاءً لِلْمُخَالَفَاتِ الْحَاصِلَةِ تَحْتَ الْعَهْدِ الأَوَّلِ، يَنَالُ الْمَدْعُوُّونَ الْوَعْدَ بِالإِرْثِ الأَبَدِيِّ. (aiōnios g166)

16 For where a testament is, of necessity the death of the testator is implied.

١٦ فَعِنْدَمَا يَمُوتُ أَحَدٌ وَيَتْرُكُ وَصِيَّةً، لابُدَّ مِنْ إِثْبَاتِ مَوْتِهِ لِلاسْتِفَادَةِ مِنْ وَصِيَّتِهِ.

17 For a testament is valid when men are dead; for else it is of no efficacy whilst the testator is alive.

١٧ إِذْ لَا قُوَّةَ لِلْوَصِيَّةِ عَلَى الإِطْلاقِ مَادَامَ صَاحِبُهَا حَيًّا. فَلا تَثْبُتُ الْوَصِيَّةُ إِلّا بِمَوْتِ صَاحِبِهَا.

18 Wherefore also that first testament was not consecrated without blood.

١٨ وَهَكَذَا، فَحَتَّى الْعَهْدُ الْعَتِيقُ لَمْ يَبْدَأْ تَنْفِيذُهُ إِلّا بِرَشِّ الدَّمِ.

19 For when every command according to the law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, taking the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

١٩ فَمَعْلُومٌ أَنَّ مُوسَى، بَعْدَ تِلاوَةِ وَصَايَا الشَّرِيعَةِ كُلِّهَا عَلَى الشَّعْبِ، أَخَذَ دَمَ الْعُجُولِ وَالتُّيُوسِ مَعَ بَعْضِ الْمَاءِ، وَرَشَّهُ عَلَى كِتَابِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَعَلَى أَفْرَادِ الشَّعْبِ، بِبَاقَةٍ مِنْ نَبَاتِ الزُّوفَا وَصُوفٍ أَحْمَرِ اللَّوْنِ.

20 saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

٢٠ وَقَالَ: هَذَا دَمُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي أَوْصَاكُمُ اللهُ بِحِفْظِهِ.

21 And the tabernacle also, and all the vessels employed in the divine service, he in like manner sprinkled with blood.

٢١ وَقَدْ رَشَّ مُوسَى الدَّمَ أَيْضاً عَلَى خَيْمَةِ الْعِبَادَةِ، وَعَلَى أَدَوَاتِ الْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي فِيهَا.

22 And almost all things are purified by blood according to the law, and without effusion of blood there is no remission of sin.

٢٢ فَالشَّرِيعَةُ تُوصِي بِأَنْ يَتَطَهَّرَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ تَقْرِيباً بِالدَّمِ. وَلا غُفْرَانَ إِلّا بِسَفْكِ الدَّمِ!

23 There was a necessity therefore that the representations of the things in heaven should be purified by these; but the celestial things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

٢٣ وَبِمَا أَنَّ تَطْهِيرَ الْخَيْمَةِ الأَرْضِيَّةِ كَانَ يَتَطَلَّبُ رَشَّ دَمِ الذَّبَائِحِ الْحَيَوَانِيَّةِ، فَإِنَّ الْخَيْمَةَ الْحَقِيقِيَّةَ لابُدَّ أَنْ تَتَطَلَّبَ دَمَ ذَبِيحَةٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ الأُخْرَى.

24 For Christ is not entered into the holies made with hands, the antitypes of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the presence of God for us:

٢٤ فَالْمَسِيحُ، رَئِيسُ كَهَنَتِنَا، لَمْ يَدْخُلْ إِلَى «قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ» الأَرْضِيِّ، الَّذِي صَنَعَتْهُ يَدٌ بَشَرِيَّةٌ وَمَا هُوَ إِلّا ظِلٌّ لِلْحَقِيقَةِ، بَلْ دَخَلَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ عَيْنِهَا، حَيْثُ يَقُومُ الآنَ بِتَمْثِيلِنَا فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ بِالذَّاتِ.

25 and not that he should often offer up himself in sacrifice, as the high-priest enters every year into the holies with blood not his own,

٢٥ وَهُوَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ لِيُقَدِّمَ نَفْسَهُ ذَبِيحَةً مَرَّةً بَعْدَ مَرَّةٍ، كَمَا كَانَ الْكَاهِنُ الأَعْلَى عَلَى الأَرْضِ يَدْخُلُ مَرَّةً كُلَّ سَنَةٍ إِلَى «قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ» بِدَمٍ غَيْرِ دَمِهِ.

26 (for in that case he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world: ) but now once for all at the consummation of the ages hath he been manifested for the abolishing sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)

٢٦ وَإلَّا لَكَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَمُوتَ الْمَسِيحُ مُتَأَلِّماً مَرَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ الْعَالَمِ! وَلَكِنَّهُ الآنَ، عِنْدَ انْتِهَاءِ الأَزْمِنَةِ، ظَهَرَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً لِيُبْطِلَ قُوَّةَ الْخَطِيئَةِ بِتَقْدِيمِ نَفْسِهِ ذَبِيحَةً لِلهِ. (aiōn g165)

27 And forasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment,

٢٧ فَكَمَا أَنَّ مَصِيرَ النَّاسِ الْمَحْتُومَ، هُوَ أَنْ يَمُوتُوا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ تَأْتِي الدَّيْنُونَةُ،

28 so Christ having been once offered in sacrifice to bear the sins of men, will appear the second time without sin, to those who expect him, for their salvation.

٢٨ كَذَلِكَ الْمَسِيحُ أَيْضاً: مَاتَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً حَامِلاً خَطَايَا كَثِيرِينَ، مُقَدِّماً نَفْسَهُ عِوَضاً عَنْهُمْ. وَلابُدَّ أَنْ يَعُودَ إِلَى الظُّهُورِ. لَا لِيُعَالِجَ الْخَطَايَا، بَلْ لِيُحَقِّقَ الْخَلاصَ النِّهَائِيَّ لِجَمِيعِ مُنْتَظِرِيهِ!
