< Hebrews 10 >
1 For there was in the law the shadow of good things to come, not the subsistence of the very things, therefore (though) every year the same sacrifices were offered they could never perfect those who offered them.
For the law having a shadow of the coming good things — not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near,
2 For if they had perfected, they would have ceased afterward from the presentation of them; because the conscience of those who had been once purified by them would not henceforth have been troubled by (such) sins.
since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of those serving having no more conscience of sins, having once been purified?
3 But in those sacrifices their sins are brought to remembrance every year.
but in those [sacrifices] is a remembrance of sins every year,
4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and of goats to purify (from) sins.
for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world he saith, Sacrifices and oblations thou hast not willed, but with a body hast thou clothed me:
Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, 'Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare for me,
6 and entire burnt-offerings for sins thou hast not required.
in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, Thou didst not delight,
7 Then said I, Behold, I come; in the sum of the books it is written concerning me, that I shall do thy will, Aloha.
then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me, ) to do, O God, Thy will;'
8 Above he said, Victims, and oblations, and entire burnt-offerings for sin thou hast not willed; those which are offered in the law.
saying above — 'Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' — which according to the law are offered —
9 And afterwards he said, Behold, I come, that I may do thy will, Aloha. In this he hath done away with the first, that he may establish the second.
then he said, 'Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish;
10 For by this his will we are sanctified by the offering of the body of Jeshu Meshiha, which was once.
in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,
11 For every high priest who stood and ministered every day, offered the same sacrifices, which can never purify (from) sins.
and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins.
12 But this one sacrifice hath offered for sins, and hath sat down at the right hand of Aloha for ever:
And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered — to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, —
13 waiting from henceforth until his adversaries are set as a footstool beneath his feet.
as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies [as] his footstool,
14 For by one offering he hath perfected those who are sanctified through him for ever.
for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified;
15 Now the witness unto us is the Spirit of Holiness, when he saith,
and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will give to them from after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my law in their minds, and upon their hearts will I inscribe it;
'This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'
17 and their iniquity and their sins I will not remember against them.
and 'their sins and their lawlessness I will remember no more;'
18 BUT WHERE THERE IS REMISSION OF SINS, THERE IS NOT REQUIRED AN OFFERING FOR SINS.
and where forgiveness of these [is], there is no more offering for sin.
19 We have, therefore, my brethren, confidence to enter the holy place through the blood of Jeshu;
Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus,
20 and a way of life which he hath now made new to us through the veil, which is his flesh;
which way he did initiate for us — new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh —
21 and we have the High Priest over the house of God.
and a high priest over the house of God,
22 Let us, therefore, draw near with a confirmed heart, and the full security of faith, with our hearts sprinkled and cleansed from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure waters;
may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;
23 and let us persevere in the confession of our hope, and not swerve; for faithful is He who hath promised us.
may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful [is] He who did promise),
24 And let us consider one another with incitement to charity and good works.
and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to good works,
25 And let us not forsake our congregation, as is the custom with some; but pray one with another; (and) so much the more as ye see that day to be approaching.
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain [is], but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh.
26 For if with his will any man shall sin after he hath received the knowledge of the truth, there is not still a victim to be offered for sins;
For we — wilfully sinning after the receiving the full knowledge of the truth — no more for sins doth there remain a sacrifice,
27 but a fearful judgment to come, and burning fire which devoureth the adversaries.
but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;
28 For if he who transgressed the law of Musha, upon the mouth of two or three witnesses, without mercy died;
any one who did set at nought a law of Moses, apart from mercies, by two or three witnesses, doth die,
29 how much greater punishment, think ye, shall he receive who hath trampled upon the Son of Aloha, and hath counted the blood of the covenant of him by which he had been sanctified as that of every man and hath insulted the Spirit of grace?
of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?
30 We know him who hath said, Retribution is mine, and I will repay: and again, The Lord shall judge his people.
for we have known Him who is saying, 'Vengeance [is] Mine, I will recompense, saith the Lord;' and again, 'The Lord shall judge His people;' —
31 How terrible to fall into the hands of Aloha the Living!
fearful [is] the falling into the hands of a living God.
32 Be mindful, therefore, of the first days, those in which ye received baptism; and when ye sustained a great agony of sufferings,
And call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, ye did endure much conflict of sufferings,
33 with ignominy and affliction; and when ye were made gazing-stocks, and were associated with men who also endured these (things).
partly both with reproaches and tribulations being made spectacles, and partly having become partners of those so living,
34 And it afflicted you on account of them who were bound; and the pillage of your goods with joy ye sustained, as knowing that ye have a possession in heaven, which is better, and passeth not away.
for also with my bonds ye sympathised, and the robbery of your goods with joy ye did receive, knowing that ye have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.
35 Destroy not, therefore, the confidence which you have, for which there is a great reward.
Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward,
36 But patience is needed by you, that ye may do the will of Aloha, and receive the promise.
for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise,
37 Because (yet) a little time, and a very little, and He who cometh shall come, and not be slow.
for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come, and will not tarry;
38 But the just by the faith of me shall live; but if he become weary, my soul delighteth not in him.
and 'the righteous by faith shall live,' and 'if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'
39 But we are not of the weariness which bringeth to perdition, but of the faith which maketh us to possess our soul.
and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.
