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.
Lo capital de lo dicho es que tenemos un Pontífice tal que está sentado a la diestra del trono de la Majestad en los cielos;
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 del santuario y del verdadero tabernáculo, que hizo el Señor y no el hombre.
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.
Ahora bien, todo Pontífice es constituido para ofrecer dones y víctimas; por lo cual también Este debe necesariamente tener algo que ofrecer.
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.
Si pues Él habitase sobre la tierra, ni siquiera podría ser sacerdote, pues hay ya quienes ofrecen dones según la Ley;
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!”
los cuales dan culto en figura y sombra de las realidades celestiales, según le fue significado a Moisés cuando se puso a construir el Tabernáculo: “Mira, le dice, que hagas todas las cosas conforme al modelo que te ha sido mostrado en el monte”.
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 ahora Él ha alcanzado tanto más excelso ministerio cuanto mejor es la alianza de que es mediador, alianza establecida sobre mejores promesas.
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 si aquella primera hubiese sido sin defecto, no se habría buscado lugar para una segunda.
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.
Pues en son de reproche les dice: “He aquí que vienen días, dice el Señor, en que concluiré una alianza nueva con la casa de Israel y con la casa de Judá;
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.
o como el pacto que hice con sus padres el día que los tomé de la mano, para sacarlos de la tierra de Egipto; pues ellos no perseveraron en mi pacto, por lo cual Yo los abandoné, dice el Señor.
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 esta es la alianza que haré con la casa de Israel, después de aquellos días, dice el Señor: Pondré mis leyes en su mente, y, las escribiré en su corazón; Yo seré su Dios, y ellos serán mi pueblo;
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].
y no enseñará más cada uno a su vecino, ni cada cual a su hermano, diciendo: Conoce al Señor; porque todos me conocerán, desde el menor hasta el mayor de ellos,
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.”
pues tendré misericordia de sus iniquidades y de sus pecados no me acordaré más”.
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].
Al decir una ( alianza ) nueva, declara anticuada la primera; de modo que lo que se hace anticuado y envejece está próximo a desaparecer.
