Hebrews 9
1 [To continue]: In the first [covenant, God] regulated how people [should perform] rituals, and [he told them to make] [MTY] a sanctuary.
Akcüka ngthumkhän naw hjawkhah ning up lü hjawkhahnak vaia hnün pi khyang naw pawhki.
2 [That sanctuary] was a tent that [the Israelites] set up. In its outer room there was the lampstand and the table [on which they put] the bread that [the priests] presented [to God. That room] was called ‘the holy place’.
Hjam cun mdüih lü akpung da ka cun Ngcimkia hnüna ami sui. Acua mei mdäinak ve lü Pamhnam üng peta muk taknak capawi veki.
3 Behind the curtain inside [the holy place] there was [another] room. That was called ‘the very holy place’.
Anghngihnak jihsunga hnua ta Hjama k'uma ngcimcaih säihkia hnüna ami sui veki.
4 It had an altar, [made from] gold, [for burning] incense. [It also had the chest which they called] the chest of the covenant. All its sides were covered with gold. In it was the golden pot which contained [pieces of the food they called] manna. [That was the food with which God miraculously fed the people before they entered the promised land]. In the chest there was also Aaron’s walking stick that budded [to prove that he was God’s true priest]. In the chest were also the stone tablets [on which God had written] the Ten Commandments.
Ang’ui mei am sinak xüi am ami pyan khahnak ve lü xüi am ami bu ngthumkhän teta ja mana ja xüi um pi veki. Acuna k'uma Arona ksawngkhe a hnah lut lawki ja Pamhnam naw a jah ngthupeta ng’yuknak lung phehlep nghngih pi veki.
5 On top of [the chest] were [figures of] winged creatures [that symbolized God’s] glory. Their [wings] overshadowed the chest’s lid where [the high priest sprinkled the blood] (to [atone for/to forgive]) [those who had sinned. I] do not [need] to write about these things in detail now.
Tetaa khana Pamhnam veki tia mdannak Kherupina ami sui khankhawngsä xawi naw mkhye mhlätnaka hnün cun ami ngphya am khümki xawi. Tuha kcün hin anaküt jah pyennak vai am ni.
6 After all those things were prepared {After they had prepared all those things like that} [in the two rooms of the tent], the [Jewish] priests habitually went into the outer [room of the] tent to perform their rituals.
Ahine cun hikba pitpyangnak khamkie ni. Ktaiyüe cun ami mta bilo khaia mhnüp tä hjama k'um akan akcüknaka khüi yahkie,
7 But into the inner room, only the Supreme Priest [went], once a year. He always took [LIT] the blood [of animals that they had slaughtered]. He offered them [to God] for his own [sins] and for the sins that other people had committed. They included sins that they did not realize [were sinful].
lüpi Ktaiyü ngvai säih ni hjama k'um säiha lut lü kum mat üng ahun däk lut yahki. Ani naw Pamhnama veia ami peta thi cun ceh lü amäta kcah ja khyange naw am ksing lü ami mkhyea phäh mhlätnak ngkengtainak pawhki.
8 By those things the Holy Spirit indicated that [just like God] did not reveal the way [for ordinary people] to enter into the inner room while the outer room still existed [MET], [similarly he did not reveal the way for ordinary people to enter the presence of God while the Jewish system of offering sacrifices was in effect].
Akpung da ka hjam a vea küt üng Angcimnak Säiha Hnün käh nghmawngei khaia Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw jah mtheiki.
9 [The things that the priests did inside the outer room] [MTY] symbolized [what was true] during the time [when the first covenant was in effect]. According to [the first covenant] (OR, [In that outer room]), [priests] offered gifts and other sacrifices to God. But [by offering them], the people who brought them were unable to make themselves feel that they were no longer guilty for having sinned.
Ahin msuimcäpnak naw tuha kcün mdanki ni. Petmsawtnak ja khyüksei ngkengnak Pamhnam üng pet naw mküimtokiea mlung cun am kümsak thei,
10 [They brought those gifts and made those sacrifices] according to [regulations concerning] things to eat and drink, and [according to rules that required people to] wash various things. [God] declared that those regulations about our bodies were to be in effect until [he put into effect the new covenant]; that was a better system.
isetiakyaküng, amimi naw ei ja awk ja ngcimnak amjü mjüa pawi ami pawh vai hlüki. Ahine cun akpunga bilawha kya lü Pamhnam naw akthai a pawh law vei cäpa sumeia kyaki ni.
11 But when Christ came as our Supreme Priest, [he brought] the good things that are now available. When he appeared, [he went into God’s presence in heaven. That is like a] [MET] very great and perfect tent not made by humans {which no human made} [SYN]; that is, it is not part of the world [God] created. It was better [than the tent Moses set up here on earth].
Lüpi Khritaw cun Ktaiyü Ngvai Säiha, akdawa lawki cun hia ve pängki ni. Ania khüinak hjam cun kümbe lü däm bawki ni, acuna hjam cun nghngicima sawngsaka am kya lü khawmdek mhnünmcengnak üngpi am ngpüi.
12 [When a Supreme Priest goes into the inner room in the tent each year, he takes] goats’ blood and calves’ blood [to offer as a sacrifice]. But Christ did not [do that. It was as though] he went into that very holy place only once, taking his own blood with him. By doing that, he eternally redeemed us. (aiōnios g166)
Khritaw hjama k'uma cit lü Angcimnak Säih Hnüna ahun a luh üng me ja sea thi cun khahnak vaia käh pawh lü mimi naw angläta küikyannak mi yah vaia amäta thi ni a cehpüi ta. (aiōnios g166)
13 The priests sprinkle on people goats’ blood and bulls’ blood and [the water that has been filtered through] the ashes of a [red] heifer that has been [completely burned. By performing that ritual, they can ritually] cleanse the bodies of those who are [ceremonially] unclean. Furthermore, performing those rituals enabled people to have fellowship with God again.
Meea ja seea thi ja seca mei üng mkhih mput cun khawning üng am ngcimkia khyange khana kthüih lü acun naw am ami ngcimnak cun lolaki ni.
14 [So, because we know what] Christ [accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died for us] [PRS, MTY], we will be very certain that we are not guilty [of having] done those things [that those who are spiritually] dead do. [As a result], we can serve God, who is all-powerful. [The priests always offer to God animals] with no defects. Similarly, when Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] to God, he was sinless [MET]. He did that as a result of [God’s] eternal Spirit [helping him]. (aiōnios g166)
Ahin hin cangkia kyase, Khritawa thi naw ta ihlawka kümkawi khai ni! Anglät Ngmüimkhya üngkhyüh Pamhnama vei amät kung cun kümbekia ngkengnaka kba peki. A thi naw mimät ksingeinak cun ia am kyahkia thumning üngkhyüh jah mcim lü xüngseikia Pamhnam mi khüih khaie. (aiōnios g166)
15 [By] dying [for us], [Christ] ([redeemed/] free from the penalty for their sins) even those who disobeyed the [conditions of] (OR, [during the time of]) the first covenant. So, [because] no [one could be made perfect by obeying the old covenant], now Christ establishes [between God and people] a new covenant. He does that in order that those whom God has chosen may eternally have [the blessings that God] has promised them. (aiōnios g166)
Ahina phäha Khritaw cun ngthumkhän akthai pawhkia kyase Pamhnam naw a jah khüa khyange naw angläta dawkyanak Pamhnama khyütam cun yahei khaie. Ahin cun päng khawhki, Khritawa thihnak naw khyange cun akcük ngthumkhäna kea ami pawha mkhyekatnak üngkhyüh jah mhlätki ni. (aiōnios g166)
16 A covenant [is like a will. In the case of a will], [in order to put its provisions into effect], someone must prove that the one who made it has died.
Ahina kya lü ngthumkhän pawhkia khyang cun thih yahki tia mdan vai hlüki.
17 A will goes into effect [only when the one who makes the will] has died. It is not in effect when the one who made it is still alive.
Ngthumkhän ti hin acun a pawh k'um üng xüngkia kyase a thih käna ni a kthamah ve.
18 And so [God] put the first covenant into effect only [LIT] by means of [animals’] blood that was shed [when they were slaughtered].
Acuna kyase, akcüka ngthumkhän hin thisen mi sumeia phäh kthamahki ni.
19 After Moses had declared to all the Israelites everything that God commanded in the laws [that God gave him], he took calves’ and goats’ blood [mixed] with water. He [dipped into it] scarlet wool [that he tied around] a sprig of hyssop. Then he sprinkled [with some of the blood] the scroll itself containing God’s laws. Then he sprinkled [more of that blood on all the] people,
Akcüka Mosi naw Thum üng veki ngthupete cun khyangea veia a sangkhap ma ni. Acun käna meea ja seea thi cun lo lü tui am kcaw lü tomu asen ja hisop sumei lü khyang avan ja Thum caupa khana a kthüih yah ni.
20 saying to them, “This is the blood [which brings into effect] the covenant that God commanded that you [obey].”
Ani naw, “Hina thi hin ngthumkhän msing lü Pamhnam naw acun nami kcangnak vaia ngthu ning jah peki” tia a pyen.
21 Likewise, he sprinkled with that blood the tent and every object that they used in performing rituals.
Acuna tänga Mosi naw pi thi cun Ngcimkia Hjam ja hjawkhanak üng sumeiea khana a kthüih hü ni.
22 It was by [sprinkling] blood that they [ritually] cleansed almost everything. That was what [was stated in] God’s laws. If blood is not shed [when people offer a sacrifice, God] cannot forgive [the person who is making the sacrifice].
Thum cun naw akcanga anaküt hin thi naw ngcimsak khyäü lü thi angsawi üngva mkhyekatnake jah mhlätki.
23 So, by rituals like that, it was necessary for [the priests] to cleanse the things that symbolized what Christ does [MTY] in heaven. But God has to [consecrate] the [people who will enter] [MTY] heaven [by means of] better sacrifices than those.
Acune cun khankhaw ka lupjawng laka kya lü ahikba kunga jah ngcimsak vaia kyaki. Lüpi khankhawa kae naw akdaw säiha khahnak cun hlüeiki ni.
24 Christ did not enter a sanctuary that humans made. That one only represented the true [sanctuary]. Instead, he entered heaven itself, in order to now be in God’s presence [to plead with] God for us.
Khritaw cun nghngicima sawngsak, khankhawa ka akcanga lupjawng laka kyaki, Ngcimkia hnün cu am lut. Ani cun Pamhnama maa mimia kcaha a ponaka khankhawa citki ni.
25 The [Jewish] Supreme Priest enters the very holy place once every year, taking blood that is not his own, [to offer it as a sacrifice]. But when Christ entered heaven, it was not in order to offer himself repeatedly like that.
Judah khyangea Ktaiyü ngvai säih cun khyükseia thi am akum tä Angcimnak Säiha Hnüna cit yahki. Lüpi Khritaw cun amät khah khaia angläta am cit,
26 [If that were so], he would have needed to suffer [and shed his blood] repeatedly since [the time when God] created the world. But instead, in this final age, [Christ] has appeared once in order that by sacrificing himself he could cause [that people] no longer will be [punished for their] sins. (aiōn g165)
acukba vai sü ta khawmdek mhnün üngkhyüh ani khawvei khuikha khai sü. Atuh ta, acuna hnün üng, kcün naküt apäih law hlü hnüh üng mkhyenak cun avana a lawh vaia ahun sawxat po law lü amät cun ngkengtaisaki ni. (aiōn g165)
27 All people must die once, and after that [God] will judge them [for their sins].
Khyang avan ahun thi lü acun käna Pamhnam naw ngthu jah mkhyah khai.
28 Likewise, when Christ [died], [God] offered him once to be a sacrifice, to punish him instead of the many [people who had] sinned. He will come [to earth] a second time, not [in order to sacrifice himself again for those who] have sinned, but in order to [complete] his saving those who expectantly wait for him.
Acukba kunga Khritaw naw ngkengnak ahun pawh lü khyang khawhaha mkhyenake a jah lawh päih ni. Anghngihnak a po law vai cun mkhyenaka phäh am ni lü a jah küikyan vai k'äihkiea phäh ni.
