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.
Ora a summa do que temos dito é que temos um summo sacerdote tal, que está assentado nos céus á dextra do throno da magestade,
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].
Ministro do sanctuario, e verdadeiro tabernaculo, o qual o Senhor fundou, e não o homem.
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.
Porque todo o summo sacerdote é constituido para offerecer dons e sacrificios; pelo que era necessario que este tambem tivesse alguma coisa que offerecer.
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.
Porque, se ainda estivesse na terra, nem tão pouco sacerdote seria, havendo ainda sacerdotes que offerecessem dons segundo a lei,
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!”
Os quaes servem de exemplar e sombra das coisas celestiaes, como Moysés divinamente foi avisado, estando já para acabar o tabernaculo: porque, Olha, disse, faze tudo conforme o modelo que no monte se te mostrou.
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].
Mas agora alcançou ministerio tanto mais excellente, quanto é mediador d'um melhor concerto, o qual está confirmado em melhores promessas.
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].
Porque, se aquelle primeiro fôra irreprehensivel, nunca se teria buscado logar para o segundo.
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.
Porque, reprehendendo-os, lhes diz: Eis que virão dias, diz o Senhor, em que com a casa de Israel e com a casa de Judah estabelecerei um novo concerto,
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.
Não segundo o concerto que fiz com seus paes no dia em que os tomei pela mão, para os tirar da terra do Egypto; porque não permaneceram n'aquelle meu concerto, e eu para elles não attentei, diz o Senhor.
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].
Porque este é o concerto que depois d'aquelles dias farei com a casa de Israel, diz o Senhor; porei as minhas leis no seu entendimento, e em seu coração as escreverei: e eu lhes serei por Deus, e elles me serão por povo:
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].
E não ensinará cada um ao seu proximo, nem cada um ao seu irmão, dizendo: Conhece o Senhor; porque todos me conhecerão, desde o menor d'elles até ao maior.
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.”
Porque serei misericordioso para com suas injustiças, e de seus peccados e de suas prevaricações não me lembrarei mais.
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].
Dizendo Novo, envelheceu o primeiro. Ora, o que foi tornado velho, e se envelhece, perto está de se esvaecer.
