Hebrews 8
1 Now the point of what we are saying is this: We have a high priest who has sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.
Aga meie praeguse kõne peamine mõte on see: meil on ülempreester, kes on istunud Ausuuruse trooni paremale käele taevas
2 He is a servant in the holy place, the true tabernacle that the Lord, not a man, set up.
ning teenib pühamus, tõelises kohtumistelgis, mida ei ole püstitanud ükski inimene, vaid Issand.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary to have something to offer.
Iga ülempreester seatakse ametisse, et tuua Jumala ette ande ja ohvreid. Ja nii peab ka see ülempreester midagi ohvriks tooma.
4 Now if Christ were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the law.
Kui ta maa peal viibiks, siis ei oleks ta preester, sest siin juba on preestrid, kes Seaduses nõutud ande toovad.
5 They serve in a tabernacle that is a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. It is just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to construct the tabernacle: God said, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.”
Nad teenivad selles, mis on taevase pühamu jäljend ja vari. Seepärast manitseti ka Moosest, kui ta hakkas telki valmistama: „Vaata, et sa teed kõik sulle mäel näidatud eeskuju järgi!“
6 But now Christ has received a much better ministry, just as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which is based on better promises.
Ent nüüd on Jeesus saanud seda aulisema ameti, mida parema lepingu vahendaja ta on, mis on kehtestatud paremate tõotuste alusel.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant.
Sest kui esimene leping olnuks laitmatu, siis ei oleks otsitud selle asemele teist.
8 For when God found fault with the people, he said, “See, the days are coming—says the Lord— when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
Sest neid laites ütleb Jumal rahvale: „Vaata, päevad tulevad, ütleb Issand, mil ma teen Iisraeli sooga ja Juuda sooga uue lepingu.
9 It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors on the day that I took them by their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not carefully obey my covenant, and I disregarded them —says the Lord.
See ei ole niisugune leping, nagu ma tegin teie esiisadega siis kui ma nad kättpidi viisin välja Egiptusest, sest nad ei jäänud minu lepingule ustavaks, ja ma pöördusin neist ära, ütleb Issand.
10 This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days —says the Lord. I will put my laws into their minds, and I will also write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
See on leping, mille ma sõlmin Iisraeli sooga pärast neid päevi, ütleb Issand: ma vajutan oma seadused nende teadvusse ja kirjutan need neile südamesse. Siis olen mina nende Jumalaks ja nemad on minu rahvaks.
11 They will not teach each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord.' For they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
Siis ei õpeta nad enam oma ligimest ega ütle üksteisele: „Tunne Issandat!“sest nad kõik tunnevad mind, nii väikesed kui suured.
12 For I will be merciful toward their evil deeds, and their sins I will not remember any longer.”
Sest ma andestan nende kurjuse ega tuleta enam meelde nende patte.“
13 By calling this covenant “new,” he declared the first covenant to be old, and what has become old and obsolete will soon disappear.
Uuest lepingust rääkides on Jumal kuulutanud eelmise lepingu aegunuks. Aga mis aegub ja iganeb, lakkab peagi olemast.
