Hebrews 8
1 Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
ASÍ que la suma acerca de lo dicho [es: ] Tenemos tal Pontífice que se asentó á la diestra del trono de la Majestad en los cielos;
2 a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, and not man.
Ministro del santuario, y de aquel verdadero tabernáculo que el Señor asentó, y no el hombre.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
Porque todo pontífice es puesto para ofrecer presentes y sacrificios; por lo cual [es] necesario que tambien este tuviese algo que ofrecer.
4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Law;
Así que si estuviese sobre la tierra, ni aun seria sacerdote, habiendo aun los [otros] sacerdotes que ofrecen los presentes segun la ley;
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 that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."
Los cuales sirven de bosquejo y sombra de las cosas celestiales, como fué respondido á Moisés cuando habia de acabar el tabernáculo: Mira, dice, haz todas las cosas conforme al dechado que te ha sido mostrado en el monte.
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.
Mas ahora [tanto] mejor ministerio es el suyo, cuanto es Mediador de un mejor pacto, el cual ha sido formado sobre mejores promesas.
7 For if that first had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
Porque si aquel primero fuera sin falta, cierto no se hubiera procurado lugar de segundo.
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;
Porque reprendiéndolos dice: Hé aquí, vienen dias, dice el Señor, y consumaré para con la casa de Israel y para con la casa de Judá un nuevo pacto;
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.
No como el pacto que hice con sus padres el dia que los tomé por la mano para sacarlos de la tierra de Egipto: porque ellos no permanecieron en mi pacto, y yo los menosprecié, dice el Señor.
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.
Por lo cual este es el pacto que ordenaré á la casa de Israel despues de aquellos dias, dice el Señor: Daré mis leyes en el alma de ellos, y sobre el corazon de ellos las escribiré: y seré á ellos por Dios, y ellos me serán á mí por pueblo:
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.
Y ninguno enseñará á su prójimo, ni ninguno á su hermano, diciendo: Conoce al Señor; porque todos me conocerán, desde el menor de ellos hasta el mayor.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins no more."
Porque seré propicio á sus injusticias, y de sus pecados, y de sus iniquidades no me acordaré más.
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.
Diciendo Nuevo [pacto, ] dió por viejo al primero y lo que es dado por viejo y se envejece, cerca está de desvanecerse.
