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.
kathyamānānāṁ vākyānāṁ sāro'yam asmākam etādṛśa eko mahāyājako'sti yaḥ svarge mahāmahimnaḥ siṁhāsanasya dakṣiṇapārśvo samupaviṣṭavān
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].
yacca dūṣyaṁ na manujaiḥ kintvīśvareṇa sthāpitaṁ tasya satyadūṣyasya pavitravastūnāñca sevakaḥ sa bhavati|
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.
yata ekaiko mahāyājako naivedyānāṁ balīnāñca dāne niyujyate, ato hetoretasyāpi kiñcid utsarjanīyaṁ vidyata ityāvaśyakaṁ|
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.
kiñca sa yadi pṛthivyām asthāsyat tarhi yājako nābhaviṣyat, yato ye vyavasthānusārāt naivedyāni dadatyetādṛśā yājakā vidyante|
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!”
te tu svargīyavastūnāṁ dṛṣṭāntena chāyayā ca sevāmanutiṣṭhanti yato mūsasi dūṣyaṁ sādhayitum udyate satīśvarastadeva tamādiṣṭavān phalataḥ sa tamuktavān, yathā, "avadhehi girau tvāṁ yadyannidarśanaṁ darśitaṁ tadvat sarvvāṇi tvayā kriyantāṁ|"
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].
kintvidānīm asau tasmāt śreṣṭhaṁ sevakapadaṁ prāptavān yataḥ sa śreṣṭhapratijñābhiḥ sthāpitasya śreṣṭhaniyamasya madhyastho'bhavat|
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].
sa prathamo niyamo yadi nirddoṣo'bhaviṣyata tarhi dvitīyasya niyamasya kimapi prayojanaṁ nābhaviṣyat|
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.
kintu sa doṣamāropayan tebhyaḥ kathayati, yathā, "parameśvara idaṁ bhāṣate paśya yasmin samaye'ham isrāyelavaṁśena yihūdāvaṁśena ca sārddham ekaṁ navīnaṁ niyamaṁ sthirīkariṣyāmyetādṛśaḥ samaya āyāti|
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.
parameśvaro'paramapi kathayati teṣāṁ pūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ misaradeśād ānayanārthaṁ yasmin dine'haṁ teṣāṁ karaṁ dhṛtvā taiḥ saha niyamaṁ sthirīkṛtavān taddinasya niyamānusāreṇa nahi yatastai rmama niyame laṅghite'haṁ tān prati cintāṁ nākaravaṁ|
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].
kintu parameśvaraḥ kathayati taddināt paramahaṁ isrāyelavaṁśīyaiḥ sārddham imaṁ niyamaṁ sthirīkariṣyāmi, teṣāṁ citte mama vidhīn sthāpayiṣyāmi teṣāṁ hṛtpatre ca tān lekhiṣyāmi, aparamahaṁ teṣām īśvaro bhaviṣyāmi te ca mama lokā bhaviṣyanti|
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].
aparaṁ tvaṁ parameśvaraṁ jānīhītivākyena teṣāmekaiko janaḥ svaṁ svaṁ samīpavāsinaṁ bhrātarañca puna rna śikṣayiṣyati yata ākṣudrāt mahāntaṁ yāvat sarvve māṁ jñāsyanti|
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.”
yato hetorahaṁ teṣām adharmmān kṣamiṣye teṣāṁ pāpānyaparādhāṁśca punaḥ kadāpi na smariṣyāmi|"
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].
anena taṁ niyamaṁ nūtanaṁ gaditvā sa prathamaṁ niyamaṁ purātanīkṛtavān; yacca purātanaṁ jīrṇāñca jātaṁ tasya lopo nikaṭo 'bhavat|
