Hebrews 8

1 Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a cohen hagadol, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

١ وَخُلاصَةُ الْقَوْلِ، أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ هُوَ رَئِيسُ كَهَنَتِنَا الَّذِي وَصَفْنَا كَهَنُوتَهُ هُنَا. إِنَّهُ الآنَ جَالِسٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ عَنْ يَمِينِ عَرْشِ اللهِ الْعَظِيمِ.

2 a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, and not man.

٢ وَهُوَ يَقُومُ بِمُهِمَّتِهِ هُنَاكَ، فِي قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ: فِي خَيْمَةِ الْعِبَادَةِ الْحَقِيقِيَّةِ الَّتِي نَصَبَهَا الرَّبُّ، لَا الإِنْسَانُ.

3 For every cohen hagadol is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this cohen hagadol also have something to offer.

٣ فَمُهِمَّةُ كُلِّ رَئِيسِ كَهَنَةٍ هِيَ أَنْ يُقَرِّبَ لِلهِ التَّقْدِمَاتِ وَالذَّبَائِحَ. وَعَلَيْهِ، فَمِنَ الضَّرُورِيِّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِرَئِيسِ كَهَنَتِنَا مَا يُقَدِّمُهُ.

4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a cohen at all, seeing there are cohanim who offer the gifts according to the Law;

٤ فَلَوْ أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ كَانَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ، لَمَا كَانَ كَاهِناً. إِذْ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يُقَدِّمُونَ الْقَرَابِينَ حَسَبَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَهُمْ مِنْ نَسْلِ لاوِي حَصْرِيًّا.

5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."

٥ وَهَؤُلاءِ يَقُومُونَ بِخِدْمَةِ مَا يُشَكِّلُ رَمْزاً وَظِلًّا لِلأُمُورِ الَّتِي فِي السَّمَاءِ. وَهَذَا وَاضِحٌ مِنْ قَوْلِ اللهِ لِمُوسَى قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ خَيْمَةَ الْعِبَادَةِ. إِذْ أَوْحَى إِلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: «انْتَبِهْ! عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ الْخَيْمَةَ وَمَا فِيهَا وَفْقاً لِلْمِثَالِ الَّذِي أَظْهَرْتُهُ لَكَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ!»

6 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as Law.

٦ فَرَئِيسُ كَهَنَتِنَا، إِذَنْ، قَدْ حَصَلَ عَلَى خِدْمَةٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ خِدْمَةِ الْكَهَنُوتِ الأَرْضِيِّ، لِكَوْنِهِ الْوَسِيطَ الَّذِي أَعْلَنَ لَنَا قِيَامَ عَهْدٍ جَدِيدٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَهْدِ السَّابِقِ، وَلِكَوْنِ هَذَا الْعَهْدِ الْجَدِيدِ يَنْطَوِي عَلَى وُعُودٍ أَفْضَلَ.

7 For if the first had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

٧ فَلَوْ كَانَ الْعَهْدُ السَّابِقُ بِلا عَيْبٍ، لَمَا ظَهَرَتْ الْحَاجَةُ إِلَى عَهْدٍ آخَرَ يَحُلُّ مَحَلَّهُ.

8 For finding fault with them, he said, "Look, the days are coming," says the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

٨ وَالْوَاقِعُ أَنَّ اللهَ يَلُومُ شَعْبَهُ قَائِلاً: «لابُدَّ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ أَيَّامٌ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أُبْرِمُ فِيهَا عَهْداً جَدِيداً مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَنِي يَهُوذَا.

9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them," says the Lord.

٩ هَذَا الْعَهْدُ الْجَدِيدُ لَيْسَ كَالْعَهْدِ الَّذِي أَبْرَمْتُهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ، حِينَ أَمْسَكْتُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. فَبِمَا أَنَّهُمْ خَرَقُوا ذَلِكَ الْعَهْدَ، أَهْمَلْتُهُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ!

10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

١٠ فَهَذَا هُوَ الْعَهْدُ الَّذِي أُبْرِمُهُ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَعْدَ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: أَضَعُ شَرَائِعِي دَاخِلَ ضَمَائِرِهِمْ، وَأَكْتُبُهَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً.

11 They will not teach each one his fellow citizen, and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.

١١ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، لَا يُعَلِّمُ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمُ ابْنَ وَطَنِهِ وَلا أَخَاهُ قَائِلاً: تَعَرَّفْ بِالرَّبِّ! ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ الْجَمِيعَ سَوْفَ يَعْرِفُونَنِي، مِنَ الصَّغِيرِ فِيهِمْ إِلَى الْعَظِيمِ.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins no more."

١٢ لأَنِّي سَأَصْفَحُ عَنْ آثَامِهِمْ، وَلا أَعُودُ أَبَداً إِلَى تَذَكُّرِ خَطَايَاهُمْ وَمُخَالَفَاتِهِمْ!»

13 In that he says, "new," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.

١٣ وَاللهُ بِكَلامِهِ عَنْ عَهْدٍ جَدِيدٍ، جَعَلَ الْعَهْدَ السَّابِقَ عَتِيقاً. وَطَبِيعِيٌّ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا عَتَقَ وَشَاخَ، يَكُونُ فِي طَرِيقِهِ إِلَى الزَّوَالِ!
