Hebrews 8
1 The main point of [all] that [I] have written is that we have a Supreme Priest like that. He has sat down to rule [MTY] with God [EUP] at the place of greatest honor in heaven.
Tebang khosoihham ng'khueh uh te a cuinah la n'thui coeng. Anih tah vaan kah Boeilennah ngolkhoel bantang ah ngol.
2 He ministers in the Most Holy Place, that is, in the true place [of worship in heaven]. That is a place that [Moses’] tent [represented]. The Lord set up the true place of worship. No human [set it up].
Hmuencim neh dap tang kah bibikung la om. Te te hlang long pawt tih Boeipa long ni a tuk.
3 Every Supreme Priest was appointed {[God] appointed every Supreme Priest} to offer [to God] gifts and sacrifices [for people who sinned]. So, since [Christ became a Supreme Priest], he also had to offer something.
Khosoihham boeih te kutdoe neh hmueih nawn ham a tuek. Pakhat khaw a khueh tangkik coeng dongah tekah te khaw nawn saeh.
4 Since there are already [Jewish] priests who offer gifts as God’s laws [require], if Christ were [now living] on the earth, he would not be a Supreme Priest.
Diklai ah om tangloeng ngawn koinih khosoih la ka om eh a ti moenih. Olkhueng dongah kutdoe aka nawn rhoek lam ni a om uh.
5 The [Jewish] priests perform rituals which are only a model [DOU] of [what Christ would do in heaven] [MTY]. What [God] told Moses when Moses was about to set up the tent [for worshipping him supports the idea that those rituals were only a model. God said], “Be sure that you [(sg)] make everything according to the model that I showed you on [Sinai] Mountain!”
Amih loh vaan kah moeiboe neh mueihlip te a bawk uh. Moses loh dap a coeng tom a mangthui pah. A hmuh dongah, “Tlang dongkah nang kan tueng bangla a mueimae boeih saii,” a ti.
6 But now as it is, [Christ] ministers in a more excellent way [than the Jewish priests do]. Likewise, the [new] covenant that he established [between God and people] is better [than the old one. When the new covenant was established] {[God established the new covenant]}, he promised us better things [than the laws that God gave Moses did].
Tedae thothueng tanglue a dang coeng. Paipi dongah rhikhangkung aka then lam khaw muep om. Te long te a then la olkhueh ol a rhi thil.
7 If that first covenant had been perfectly adequate [LIT], God would not have thought that he needed another [covenant/agreement to replace it]. But [it was not adequate, so he needed a new one].
Lamhma te cuemthuek la om koinih a hmuen pabae tlap mahpawh.
8 Because God declared [that the Israelites] were guilty [of not obeying the first covenant, he wanted a new covenant. This is what] ([a prophet/Jeremiah]) [wrote about that]: The Lord says, “Listen! There will soon be a time when I will make a new covenant with the people [MTY] of Israel and the people [MTY] of Judah.
Tedae amih te a coel dongah, “Khohnin ha pawk coeng ke,” a ti. Boeipa loh, “Israel imkhui ah khaw, Judah imkhui ah khaw paipi thai ka thoh ni,” a ti.
9 That covenant will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I led them out of Egypt [MET] [like a father leads a child] by the hand. They did not continue to [obey] my covenant, so I rejected them,” says the Lord.
Amih kut te ka tuuk tih Egypt kho lamloh amih ka doek hnin vaengkah a napa rhoek taengah ka saii paipi bang te moenih. Amih tah kai kah paipi dongah a ngol pai uh pawt dongah kai long khaw amih te ka sawtrhoel. Boeipa loh a ti.
10 “This is the covenant that I will make with the Israelites [MTY], after [the first covenant has ended] [MTY],” says the Lord: “I will enable them to understand my laws [MTY], and I will enable them to obey them (OR, truly know them) [MTY] sincerely. I will be their God, and they will be my people [DOU].
Hekah paipi tah te khohnin phoeiah ni Israel imkhui ah ka saii eh. Boeipa long ni a thui. Ka olkhueng he a kopoek ah ka paek vetih amih thinko ah ka daek pah ni. Te vaengah amih taengah Pathen la ka om vetih amih khaw ka pilnam la om uh ni.
11 [As a result], no one will [need to] teach a fellow citizen or tell his fellow kinsmen, ‘[You need to] know the Lord,’ because all [my people] will know me: [My people] of every status [will know me].
Te vaengah pakhat rhip loh a pilnam te khaw, pakhat rhip loh a manuca te khaw, “Boeipa te ming lah,” a ti nah vetih thuituen uh loengloeng mahpawh. Amih tanoe lamkah kangham duela kai boeih m'ming uh ni.
12 I will mercifully [forgive them for] the wicked things they have done. I will no longer [consider] that [they are guilty for] [DOU] [their] sins.”
Amih kah boethae te poekpoei rhola la ka om pah vetih amih kah tholhnah te ka poek khuep voel mahpawh.
13 Since God spoke about a new [covenant], he considered that the first [covenant] was no longer in use, and that it would soon disappear, just like [anything that] gets old [will disappear] [MET, DOU].
A thai a thui rhang neh paipi lamhma te a rhuem sak. Te dongah a rhuemrho neh a rhuemrho tah khum tom coeng.
