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.
Sistem yang pertama memiliki instruksi tentang bagaimana menyembah, dan Kemah Tuhan yang ada di bumi.
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’.
Ruang pertama di Kemah Suci ditempati tempat lilin, meja, dan roti kudus. Tempat ini disebut Ruang Kudus.
3 Behind the curtain inside [the holy place] there was [another] room. That was called ‘the very holy place’.
Sesudah tabir kedua di Kemah Tuhan adalah ruangan yang disebut Ruang Maha Kudus.
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.
Ruangan ini berisi mezbah emas untuk dupa, “peti perjanjian” berlapis emas. Di dalamnya ada pot emas berisi manna, tongkat Harun yang sudah menghasilkan kuncup, dan prasasti batu perjanjian.
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.
Di atas ini ada malaikat kerubim yang mulia menutupi Tutup Perdamaian. Kita tidak dapat membahas semua ini secara detail sekarang.
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.
Sesudah semua ini diatur, para imam akan masuk secara teratur ke ruang pertama Kemah Tuhan untuk melaksanakan tugas mereka.
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].
Tetapi hanya imam besar yang masuk ke ruangan yang kedua, dan hanya setahun sekali. Bahkan kemudian dia harus membuat pengorbanan yang melibatkan darah, yang dia persembahkan untuk dirinya sendiri dan untuk dosa yang tidak sengaja dilakukan oleh umat.
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].
Dengan ini Roh Kudus menunjukkan bahwa jalan menuju Tempat Maha Kudus yang sejati belum terungkap ketika Kemah Tuhan yang pertama masih ada.
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.
Ini adalah ilustrasi bagi kita saat ini, menunjukkan kepada kita bahwa persembahan dan kurban bakaran yang dipersembahkan tidak bisa membuat hati nurani penyembah menjadi jernih.
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.
Mereka hanyalah peraturan agama — tentang makanan dan minuman, dan berbagai upacara yang melibatkan mencuci — yang ditetapkan sampai tiba cara baru Allah yang terkait dengan-Nya.
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].
Kristus sudah datang sebagai Imam Besar dari semua pengalaman baik yang kita miliki sekarang. Dia pergi ke rumah Tuhan yang lebih besar dan lebih lengkap yang tidak dibuat oleh tangan manusia — bukan bagian dari dunia ciptaan ini.
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)
Dia masuk ke Rumah Maha Kudus tidak melalui darah kambing dan anak sapi, tetapi melalui darah nya sendiri. Dia masuk sekali, untuk semua waktu, ke dalam Tempat Maha Kudus, membebaskan kita selamanya. (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.
Karena jika darah kambing dan lembu jantan dan abu dari sapi dipercikkan pada mereka yang secara ritual najis menjadi kudus,
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)
berapa banyak lagi darah Kristus — yang mempersembahkan dirinya dalam hidup tanpa dosa kepada Tuhan melalui Roh yang kekal — membersihkan hati nurani kalian dari kehidupan masa lalu kalianyang penuh dosa sehingga kalian dapat melayani Allah yang hidup? (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)
Inilah sebabnya Yesus menjadi penengah dari hubungan baru yang disepakati. Sesudah kematian terjadi untuk membebaskan mereka dari dosa-dosa yang dilakukan di bawah hubungan yang disepakati pertama, sekarang mereka yang dipanggil dapat menerima janji warisan kekal. (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.
Agar sebuah surat wasiat dapat dilaksanakan, orang yang membuatnya harus mati.
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.
Surat wasiat hanya berlaku bila ada kematian — dan tidak pernah diterapkan selama orang yang membuatnya masih hidup.
18 And so [God] put the first covenant into effect only [LIT] by means of [animals’] blood that was shed [when they were slaughtered].
Itulah sebabnya perjanjian pertama dibuat dengan darah.
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,
Sesudah Musa memberikan semua hukum kepada setiap orang, dia mengambil darah anak sapi dan kambing, dan bersama-sama dengan air, wol merah tua, dan hisop, memercikkan kitab hukum itu sendiri dan semua orang.
20 saying to them, “This is the blood [which brings into effect] the covenant that God commanded that you [obey].”
Dia berkata kepada mereka, “Ini adalah darah dari hubungan yang sudah disepakati bahwa Allah sudah mengatakan kepadamu bahwa Dia ingin bersamamu.”
21 Likewise, he sprinkled with that blood the tent and every object that they used in performing rituals.
Musa memercikkan darah itu dengan cara yang sama di atas Kemah Tuhan dan segala sesuatu yang digunakan untuk beribadah.
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].
Menurut hukum upacara, hampir segala sesuatu disucikan oleh darah, dan tanpa penumpahan darah tidak ada yang secara ritual bebas dari noda dosa.
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.
Jadi jika salinan dari apa yang ada di surga perlu dibersihkan dengan cara ini, hal-hal di surga membutuhkan pembersihan dengan pengorbanan yang lebih baik.
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.
Karena Kristus tidak memasuki Ruang Maha Kudus yang dibangun oleh manusia yang hanyalah pola dari aslinya. Dia sendiri sudah masuk surga, dan sekarang hadir sebagai perantara kita, berbicara bagi kita di hadapan Allah.
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.
Ini bukan untuk berulang kali mempersembahkan diri-Nya sendiri, seperti seorang Imam Besar yang harus memasuki Ruang Maha Kudus tahun demi tahun, mempersembahkan darah yang bukan miliknya.
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)
Jika tidak, Kristus harus menderita berkali-kali sejak penciptaan dunia. Tidak: hanya sekali ini di akhir zaman sekarang Dia datang untuk menghapus dosa dengan mengorbankan diri-Nya sendiri. (aiōn g165)
27 All people must die once, and after that [God] will judge them [for their sins].
Sama seperti manusia mati hanya sekali, dan kemudian dihakimi,
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.
demikian juga bagi Kristus — sesudah dikorbankan sekali untuk menghapus dosa banyak orang, Dia akan datang kembali, bukan untuk menangani dosa, tetapi untuk menyelamatkan mereka yang menunggu-Nya.
