< Hebrews 8 >

1 And the sum concerning the things spoken of [is]: we have such a Chief Priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Greatness in the heavens,
وَأَمَّا رَأْسُ ٱلْكَلَامِ فَهُوَ: أَنَّ لَنَا رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ مِثْلَ هَذَا،قَدْ جَلَسَ فِي يَمِينِ عَرْشِ ٱلْعَظَمَةِ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ،١
2 a servant of the holy places, and of the true dwelling place, which the LORD set up, and not man,
خَادِمًا لِلْأَقْدَاسِ وَٱلْمَسْكَنِ ٱلْحَقِيقِيِّ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لَا إِنْسَانٌ.٢
3 for every chief priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, from where [it is] necessary for this One to also have something that He may offer;
لِأَنَّ كُلَّ رَئِيسِ كَهَنَةٍ يُقَامُ لِكَيْ يُقَدِّمَ قَرَابِينَ وَذَبَائِحَ. فَمِنْ ثَمَّ يَلْزَمُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِهَذَا أَيْضًا شَيْءٌ يُقَدِّمُهُ.٣
4 for if, indeed, He were on earth, He would not be a priest (there being the priests who are offering the gifts according to the Law,
فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ لَمَا كَانَ كَاهِنًا، إِذْ يُوجَدُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَدِّمُونَ قَرَابِينَ حَسَبَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ،٤
5 who to an example and shadow serve of the heavenly things, as Moses has been divinely warned, being about to construct the Dwelling Place, for, “See,” He says, “[that] you will make all things according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain”),
ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْدِمُونَ شِبْهَ ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّاتِ وَظِلَّهَا، كَمَا أُوحِيَ إِلَى مُوسَى وَهُوَ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ ٱلْمَسْكَنَ. لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «ٱنْظُرْ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَسَبَ ٱلْمِثَالِ ٱلَّذِي أُظْهِرَ لَكَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ».٥
6 but now He has obtained a more excellent service, how much He is also mediator of a better covenant, which has been sanctioned on better promises,
وَلَكِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ حَصَلَ عَلَى خِدْمَةٍ أَفْضَلَ بِمِقْدَارِ مَا هُوَ وَسِيطٌ أَيْضًا لِعَهْدٍ أَعْظَمَ، قَدْ تَثَبَّتَ عَلَى مَوَاعِيدَ أَفْضَلَ.٦
7 for if that first were faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second.
فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ بِلَا عَيْبٍ لَمَا طُلِبَ مَوْضِعٌ لِثَانٍ.٧
8 For finding fault, He says to them, “Behold, days come, says the LORD, and I will complete with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, a new covenant,
لِأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ لَائِمًا: «هُوَذَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، حِينَ أُكَمِّلُ مَعَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَعَ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا عَهْدًا جَدِيدًا.٨
9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of My taking [them] by their hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt—because they did not remain in My covenant, and I did not regard them, says the LORD—
لَا كَٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلْتُهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ يَوْمَ أَمْسَكْتُ بِيَدِهِمْ لِأُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَثْبُتُوا فِي عَهْدِي، وَأَنَا أَهْمَلْتُهُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.٩
10 because this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, says the LORD, giving My laws into their mind, and I will write them on their hearts, and I will be to them for a God, and they will be to Me for a people;
لِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْعَهْدُ ٱلَّذِي أَعْهَدُهُ مَعَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدَ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَجْعَلُ نَوَامِيسِي فِي أَذْهَانِهِمْ، وَأَكْتُبُهَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا.١٠
11 and they will not each teach his neighbor, and each his brother, saying, Know the LORD, because they will all know Me—from the small one of them to the great one of them,
وَلَا يُعَلِّمُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قَرِيبَهُ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَخَاهُ قَائِلًا: ٱعْرِفِ ٱلرَّبَّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ سَيَعْرِفُونَنِي مِنْ صَغِيرِهِمْ إِلَى كَبِيرِهِمْ.١١
12 because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and I will remember their sins and their lawlessnesses no more.”
لِأَنِّي أَكُونُ صَفُوحًا عَنْ آثَامِهِمْ، وَلَا أَذْكُرُ خَطَايَاهُمْ وَتَعَدِّيَاتِهِمْ فِي مَا بَعْدُ».١٢
13 In the saying “new,” He has made the first obsolete, and what is becoming obsolete and growing old [is] near disappearing.
فَإِذْ قَالَ: «جَدِيدًا»، عَتَّقَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ. وَأَمَّا مَا عَتَقَ وَشَاخَ فَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ ٱلِٱضْمِحْلَالِ.١٣
