< Hebrews 9 >

1 Now even the first covenant had its ordinances of public worship, and its sanctuary, a material one.
habuit quidem et prius iustificationes culturae et sanctum saeculare
2 For a tent was built, the outer one called the Holy Place, in which were the lamp and the table and the loaves of the Presence;
tabernaculum enim factum est primum in quo inerant candelabra et mensa et propositio panum quae dicitur sancta
3 and behind the second veil was the tent called the Holy of Holies.
post velamentum autem secundum tabernaculum quod dicitur sancta sanctorum
4 In it was the golden altar of incense, and also the Ark of the Covenant covered all over with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
aureum habens turibulum et arcam testamenti circumtectam ex omni parte auro in qua urna aurea habens manna et virga Aaron quae fronduerat et tabulae testamenti
5 while above it, overshadowing the mercy-seat, were the cherubim of glory. But I must not speak about these in detail.
superque eam cherubin gloriae obumbrantia propitiatorium de quibus non est modo dicendum per singula
6 Such then were the arrangements. Into the outer tent the priests enter continually in the performance of their duties;
his vero ita conpositis in priori quidem tabernaculo semper introibant sacerdotes sacrificiorum officia consummantes
7 but into the inner tent the high priest only goes alone, once a year, and that not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the ignorances of the people.
in secundo autem semel in anno solus pontifex non sine sanguine quem offert pro sua et populi ignorantia
8 The Holy Spirit teaching by this that the way into the Holiest has not yet been disclosed while the first tent is still standing.
hoc significante Spiritu Sancto nondum propalatam esse sanctorum viam adhuc priore tabernaculo habente statum
9 This is a parable, for the present time, according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able, as far as conscience is concerned, to perfect the worshiper;
quae parabola est temporis instantis iuxta quam munera et hostiae offeruntur quae non possunt iuxta conscientiam perfectum facere servientem
10 since they consist only in meats and drinks and various ablutions, carnal ordinances, imposed until the time of reformation.
solummodo in cibis et in potibus et variis baptismis et iustitiis carnis usque ad tempus correctionis inpositis
11 But when Christ came, a High Priest of good things to come, he passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is to say, not of this material creation,
Christus autem adsistens pontifex futurorum bonorum per amplius et perfectius tabernaculum non manufactum id est non huius creationis
12 not taking the blood of goats and oxen, but his own blood, and entered once for all into the Holy Place, obtaining for us an eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)
neque per sanguinem hircorum et vitulorum sed per proprium sanguinem introivit semel in sancta aeterna redemptione inventa (aiōnios g166)
13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleansing of the flesh,
si enim sanguis hircorum et taurorum et cinis vitulae aspersus inquinatos sanctificat ad emundationem carnis
14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through his eternal spirit offered himself free from blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works unto the service of an ever-living God! (aiōnios g166)
quanto magis sanguis Christi qui per Spiritum Sanctum semet ipsum obtulit inmaculatum Deo emundabit conscientiam vestram ab operibus mortuis ad serviendum Deo viventi (aiōnios g166)
15 And because of this he is the Mediator of a new testament, in order that, since a death has taken place to atone for offenses committed under the first testament, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)
et ideo novi testamenti mediator est ut morte intercedente in redemptionem earum praevaricationum quae erant sub priore testamento repromissionem accipiant qui vocati sunt aeternae hereditatis (aiōnios g166)
16 For where there is a testament, there must also be brought forward in evidence the death of the testator.
ubi enim testamentum mors necesse est intercedat testatoris
17 For a testament is only of force in case of the dead, being never valid so long as the testator lives.
testamentum enim in mortuis confirmatum est alioquin nondum valet dum vivit qui testatus est
18 Accordingly we find that not without blood was the first testament enacted.
unde ne primum quidem sine sanguine dedicatum est
19 For after every commandment according to the law had been spoken by Moses to the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people.
lecto enim omni mandato legis a Mose universo populo accipiens sanguinem vitulorum et hircorum cum aqua et lana coccinea et hysopo ipsum quoque librum et omnem populum aspersit
20 saying, This is the blood of that testament which God commanded in regard to you.
dicens hic sanguis testamenti quod mandavit ad vos Deus
21 Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of service he sprinkled likewise, and indeed, according to the Law,
etiam tabernaculum et omnia vasa ministerii sanguine similiter aspersit
22 almost everything is purified by blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins.
et omnia paene in sanguine mundantur secundum legem et sine sanguinis fusione non fit remissio
23 While, then, it was necessary that the copies of the heavenly things should be cleansed by such sacrifices, the heavenly things themselves required nobler sacrifices than these.
necesse est ergo exemplaria quidem caelestium his mundari ipsa autem caelestia melioribus hostiis quam istis
24 For it was not into a Sanctuary made by hands, a mere type of the reality, that Christ entered, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the very presence of God on our behalf.
non enim in manufactis sanctis Iesus introiit exemplaria verorum sed in ipsum caelum ut appareat nunc vultui Dei pro nobis
25 Nor did he enter to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest entered into the sanctuary, year after year, with blood that was not his own;
neque ut saepe offerat semet ipsum quemadmodum pontifex intrat in sancta per singulos annos in sanguine alieno
26 (for in that case he would have needed to suffer repeatedly, ever since the foundation of the world; )but now, once for all, at the end of the ages, he has appeared to abolish sin, but the offering of himself. (aiōn g165)
alioquin oportebat eum frequenter pati ab origine mundi nunc autem semel in consummatione saeculorum ad destitutionem peccati per hostiam suam apparuit (aiōn g165)
27 And since it is appointed to men once to die, and after that the judgment;
et quemadmodum statutum est hominibus semel mori post hoc autem iudicium
28 so also the Christ, after being once for all offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who wait for him for salvation.
sic et Christus semel oblatus ad multorum exhaurienda peccata secundo sine peccato apparebit expectantibus se in salutem
