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,

Capitulum autem super ea, quæ dicuntur: Talem habemus Pontificem, qui consedit in dextera sedis magnitudinis in cælis,

2 a servant of the holy places, and of the true dwelling place, which the LORD set up, and not man,

sanctorum minister, et tabernaculi veri, quod fixit Dominus, et non homo.

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;

Omnis enim pontifex ad offerendum munera, et hostias constituitur: unde necesse est et hunc habere aliquid, quod offerat:

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,

si ergo esset super terram, nec esset sacerdos: cum essent qui offerent secundum legem munera,

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”),

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 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,

Nunc autem melius sortitus est ministerium, quanto et melioris testamenti mediator est, quod in melioribus repromissionibus sancitum est.

7 for if that first were faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second.

Nam si illud prius culpa vacasset: non utique secundi locus inquireretur.

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,

Vituperans enim eos dicit: Ecce dies venient, dicit Dominus: et consummabo super domum Israel, et super domum Iuda testamentum novum,

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—

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 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;

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 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,

et non docebit unusquisque proximum suum, et unusquisque fratrem suum, dicens: Cognosce Dominum: quoniam omnes scient me a minore usque ad maiorem eorum:

12 because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and I will remember their sins and their lawlessnesses no more.”

quia propitius ero iniquitatibus eorum, et peccatorum eorum iam non memorabor.

13 In the saying “new,” He has made the first obsolete, and what is becoming obsolete and growing old [is] near disappearing.

Dicendo autem novum: veteravit prius. Quod autem antiquatur, et senescit, prope interitum est.
