< 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.
Phangkhoh thoon nuumiijeng tiit adi rangsoom theng banlam angta, nyia mina ih hoon arah rangsoom theng hah nep angta.
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’.
Nyutaap ah hoon rumta, kaalek ko asuh Esa rum ngeh liita. Erah di weetook chooktheng angta, Rangte suh kotta baanlo ah teebun adi angta.
3 Behind the curtain inside [the holy place] there was [another] room. That was called ‘the very holy place’.
Liwang wah nyukho angta lih adi nyutaap esiit angta erah suh Esa Thoon Taang ngeh liita.
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.
Erah di Kom nawa romthong maradi phontum tumtak theng nyia nuumiijeng bangkhok ah kom nawa ih loopchoi angta, eno erah damdi kom nawa hoon arah khaplang hemong adi manna pan angta, Aroon chaanthah adi banglak dong arah nep angta, eno jengdang ah jonglo adi eraang choi enyi angta.
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.
Bangkhok khoh adi hejang pan jih ajaat angta, eno Rangte ah eje ngeh noisokta, heh ih maradi rangdah biin anaanta eradi heh jang ih hoploopta. Enoothong jirep tiit woot jangbaat theng saapoot tah angka.
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.
Arah loong ah amah ih khookhamta. Romwah loong ah saarookwe Nyutaap kaalek adi kah mokah rumta,
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].
enoothong romwah phokhothoon luulu Hemong Thoon Nyutaap adi paang siit di jaasiit kawangta. Heh teewah rangdah raangtaan ih Rangte suh koh arah sih nyia mina loong lajat thang ih mok re rumta rangdah raangtaan ih sih kah koh wanta.
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].
Erah khookhamta loong ah sok kadi, Esa Chiiala ih naririh ih jatthuk hali, nyutaap kaalek ah panpan doh Esa Thoon rum nah wang lam ah mabah uh tah daapka.
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.
Erah loong noisok hali rah charangneng wa saapoot tiit ah noisok hali. Erah langla Rangte suh khojoop siik hoon lakkot nyia huiawak ah jam ano khojoop siik hoonha rah ih rangsoomte loong ten ah tajen pun siitka,
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.
mamah liidih ejok ephaksat luulu nyia khojoop kuh dowa ih luulu ba hoon rumha. Arah loong banlam ah rangkhoh nah noisok suh ba, arah loong aba Rangte ih banlam ena hoon saapoot maang thok doh ban maak suh ba ah.
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].
Enoothong mongrep ni marah ese eje angla raangtaan ih Jisu ah Romwah Phokhothoon likhiik ejen raak ih taha. Marah nyutaap adi heh mola erah elong nyia esa thoon; erah langla mina lak ih hoon arah tah angka, nyia mongrep dowa tah angka.
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)
Esa Thoon nyutaap Mong adi Kristo ah jaasiit saarookwe raangtaan ih roop nopta. Erah saapoot adi romhoon raangtaan ih maan nyia ki sih loong ah tah pi koh wanta, erah thaknang ibah heh teewah sih rah ih rom wan ano seng suh lathoon theng khopiiroidong ah chothuk tahe. (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.
Ki nyia maan sih erah damdi luiamaan sook kota dowa botla wiik rah ih marah mina rom arang di lah punka loong sakkhoh adi kah rom rumta, emah ih rom rum ano neng khoh kajoop rumta.
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)
Erah amiimi angthoi, Kristo sih ih batang aleh erah loong thaknang ibah timthan ehan ih jen sa haat ah, roitang Chiiala jun ih heh teewah roidong ah Rangte suh esa rom ah thoon rom kota. Heh sih rah ih sengthung sengtak lalangka romhoon dowa saahaat tahe, erah doba ething Rangte moot ah jen moh ih. (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)
Erah thoidi Rangte ih kakhamta ah ngo ih roitang raangtaan ih romseetam chote loong asuh Jisu ih nuumiijeng ena jam thinha. Erah uh ejen lang ih ah mamah liidih mina loong jaakhoh nuumiijeng ih laatbaat rumta adi tong tokdi thet re rumta dowa doksiit suh jaasiit etek eta. (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.
Kakhamta jun ibah marah ih hoonta erah etek ah ejat ih thuktheng,
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.
timnge liidoh marah ih hoonta heh mik thingthing doh kakham hoonta ah tim uh tah angka; Heh tek lidoh ba ang ah.
18 And so [God] put the first covenant into effect only [LIT] by means of [animals’] blood that was shed [when they were slaughtered].
Erah raangtaan ih jaakhoh dowa nuumiijeng ah sih maak adi ba angta.
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,
Phangkhoh ah, Moses ih mina loong suh Hootthe ni timthan jengdang angta erah baat rumta. Eno heh ih maan nyia ki sih loong ah toon ano joong damdi woita eno Hootthe leedap adi nyia mina loong khoh ni seem waak rumta, erah waak suh hisop bangphook hemongpan hechat ang arah nyia saap roon esaang kah maak rumta.
20 saying to them, “This is the blood [which brings into effect] the covenant that God commanded that you [obey].”
Heh ih baatta, “Rangte ih nuumiijeng ah kap tiit baat halan ah arah sih rah ih siin hoonha.
21 Likewise, he sprinkled with that blood the tent and every object that they used in performing rituals.
Erah likhiikkhiik Moses ih Esa Nyutaap nyia marah huikhaak rangsoom raangtaan ih maak rumta khoh adi uh sih rah ih hakta.
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].
Elang eh ah Hootthe jun ibah jirep sih ih saahaat ah, erah damdi rangdah uh sih janhaat adoh ba biin anaan ah,
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.
Marah rangmong ni angla erah nyoot hoonha loong ah uh emamah sih rah ih saasiit theng. Enoothong rangmong nawa loong rah ih erah khotok doh ese khojoop hoontheng ngeh jamha.
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.
Timnge liidih, Kristo ah Esa Taang adi tah nopta marah mina lak nawa ih hesak mi dowa nyoot hoon rumta di ah. Heh ah rangmong ni ba wangta, eradi sengtong thiik ah Rangte ngathong ni heh tong wangla.
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.
Jehudi romwah phokhothoon Esa Thoon adi paang siit di luiamaan sih ah pi ano jaasiit kah wangta. Enoothong Kristo bah heh teeteewah Rangte suh kot hedop hedop tah wangta,
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)
jaahantek wangtheng angta bah heh ah mongrep phang dongsiitta dowa ih jaahantek dook chamnaang thengta. Enoothong rangkuh ah ethoon nanah di heh jaasiit saarookwe raangtaan ih ra taha, rangdah saahaat raangtaan ih heh teewah roidong ah kota. (aiōn g165)
27 All people must die once, and after that [God] will judge them [for their sins].
Seng thoontang jaasiit etek etheng jaatjaat, erah lih adoh Rangte ih dande he.
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.
Erah likhiikkhiik Kristo uh jaasiit rangdah loong ah dok haat raangtaan ih heh teewah roidong ah kota. Heh ewe ngaak dong eha, rangdah raangtaan ih takah angte, enoothong marah mina ih heh bansok ha erah loong puipang raangtaan ih raaha.
