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.
ASÍ que la suma acerca de lo dicho [es: ] Tenemos tal Pontífice que se asentó á la diestra del trono de la Majestad en los cielos;
2 He is a servant in the holy place, the true tabernacle that the Lord, not a man, set up.
Ministro del santuario, y de aquel verdadero tabernáculo que el Señor asentó, y no el hombre.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary to have something to offer.
Porque todo pontífice es puesto para ofrecer presentes y sacrificios; por lo cual [es] necesario que tambien este tuviese algo que ofrecer.
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.
Así que si estuviese sobre la tierra, ni aun seria sacerdote, habiendo aun los [otros] sacerdotes que ofrecen los presentes segun la ley;
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.”
Los cuales sirven de bosquejo y sombra de las cosas celestiales, como fué respondido á Moisés cuando habia de acabar el tabernáculo: Mira, dice, haz todas las cosas conforme al dechado que te ha sido mostrado en el monte.
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.
Mas ahora [tanto] mejor ministerio es el suyo, cuanto es Mediador de un mejor pacto, el cual ha sido formado sobre mejores promesas.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant.
Porque si aquel primero fuera sin falta, cierto no se hubiera procurado lugar de segundo.
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.
Porque reprendiéndolos dice: Hé aquí, vienen dias, dice el Señor, y consumaré para con la casa de Israel y para con la casa de Judá un nuevo pacto;
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.
No como el pacto que hice con sus padres el dia que los tomé por la mano para sacarlos de la tierra de Egipto: porque ellos no permanecieron en mi pacto, y yo los menosprecié, dice el Señor.
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.
Por lo cual este es el pacto que ordenaré á la casa de Israel despues de aquellos dias, dice el Señor: Daré mis leyes en el alma de ellos, y sobre el corazon de ellos las escribiré: y seré á ellos por Dios, y ellos me serán á mí por pueblo:
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.
Y ninguno enseñará á su prójimo, ni ninguno á su hermano, diciendo: Conoce al Señor; porque todos me conocerán, desde el menor de ellos hasta el mayor.
12 For I will be merciful toward their evil deeds, and their sins I will not remember any longer.”
Porque seré propicio á sus injusticias, y de sus pecados, y de sus iniquidades no me acordaré más.
13 By calling this covenant “new,” he declared the first covenant to be old, and what has become old and obsolete will soon disappear.
Diciendo Nuevo [pacto, ] dió por viejo al primero y lo que es dado por viejo y se envejece, cerca está de desvanecerse.
