< Hebrews 9 >
1 Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.
Had indeed therefore also the first (tabernacle *K*) regulations of worship and Holy [Place] earthly.
2 For a tabernacle was prepared. The first room, in which were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of the presence, was called the holy place.
A tabernacle for was prepared the first [room] — in which [were] both the lampstand and the table and of the presentation the bread — which is named [the] Holy [Places].
3 Behind the second curtain was another room, called the most holy place.
Behind now the second veil [was] a tabernacle which is being named (the *o*) Holies (*o*) of Holies
4 It had a golden altar for incense. It also had the ark of the covenant, which was completely overlaid with gold. Inside it was a golden jar holding the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.
[the] golden having altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered around in every part with gold, in which [was the] jar golden having the manna and the staff of Aaron which having budded and the tablets of the covenant;
5 Above the ark of the covenant, glorious cherubim overshadowed the atonement lid, which we cannot now talk about in detail.
Above then it [were the] cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, concerning which not it is now [the time] to speak in detail.
6 After these things were prepared, the priests always entered the outer room of the tabernacle to perform their services.
These things now thus prepared into indeed the first tabernacle (at *N(K)O*) (all [times] *N(k)O*) enter the priests the sacred services accomplishing;
7 But only the high priest entered the second room once each year, and not without blood that he offered for himself and for the people's unintentional sins.
[Enters] into however the second once in the year only the high priest not without blood which he offers for himself and the of the people sins of ignorance;
8 The Holy Spirit showed that the way into the most holy place had not yet appeared as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.
By this was signifying the Spirit Holy [that] not yet [that] not yet to have been made manifest the into the Holy [Places] a way while still the first tabernacle having a standing;
9 This was an illustration for the present time. Both the gifts and sacrifices that are now being offered are not able to perfect the worshiper's conscience.
which [is] a symbol for the time which being present, in (which *N(k)O*) gifts both and sacrifices are offered not being able in regard to conscience to make perfect who is worshiping,
10 They are only concerned with food and drink and various ceremonial washings, regulations for the body until the time of the new order.
[consisting] only in foods and in drinks and in various washings, (and *ko*) (ordinances *N(k)O*) of [the] flesh until [the] time of reformation being imposed.
11 Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come. He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that was not made by human hands, one not belonging to this created world.
Christ however having appeared as high priest of the (having come *N(k)O*) good things through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands, That is not of this creation,
12 It was not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood that he entered into the most holy place once for all and secured our eternal redemption. (aiōnios )
nor through blood of goats and calves through however the own blood He entered once for all into the Holy [Places] eternal redemption having obtained. (aiōnios )
13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer's ashes on those who have become unclean sets them apart to God for the cleansing of their flesh,
If for the blood of goats and of bulls and [the] ashes of a heifer sprinkling the defiled it sanctifies for the of the flesh purification,
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios )
how much more the blood of Christ, who through [the] Spirit eternal Himself offered unblemished to God, will purify the conscience (of us *N(K)O*) from dead works in order to serve God [the] living? (aiōnios )
15 For this reason, he is the mediator of a new covenant. This is so that, since a death has taken place to free those under the first covenant from their sins, those who are called will receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. (aiōnios )
And because of this of a covenant new [the] mediator He is, so that death having taken place for redemption of the under the first covenant transgressions the promise may receive those called of the eternal inheritance. (aiōnios )
16 For where there is a will, the death of the person who made it must be proven.
Where for [there is] a will, [the] death [it is] necessary to establish of the [one] having made [it];
17 For a will is only in force when there has been a death, because it has no force while the one who made it is still alive.
A will for after death [is] affirmed, since (otherwise otherwise *NK(o)*) it is in force when is living the [one] having made [it].
18 So not even the first covenant was established without blood.
wherefore neither the first apart from blood has been inaugurated.
19 For when Moses had given every command in the law to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water, red wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people.
When was being spoken for every commandment according to (the *no*) law under Moses to all the people, having taken the blood of calves and (*no*) of goats with water and wool scarlet and hyssop, itself both the book and all the people he sprinkled
20 Then he said, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded for you.”
saying; This [is] the blood of the covenant which commanded unto you God;
21 In the same manner, he sprinkled the blood on the tabernacle and all the containers used in the service.
And the tabernacle then and all the vessels of the ministry with blood likewise he sprinkled.
22 According to the law, almost everything is cleansed with blood. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
And almost with blood all things are purified according to the law and apart from blood-shedding not there is forgiveness.
23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in heaven should be cleansed with these animal sacrifices. However, the heavenly things themselves had to be cleansed with much better sacrifices.
[It was] necessary then [for] the indeed representations of the [things] in the heavens with these to be purified themselves however the heavenly things with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ did not enter into the most holy place made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one. Instead he entered into heaven itself, to appear now in God's presence for us.
Not for into made by hands has entered Holy [Places] (*k*) Christ, copies of the true [ones], but into itself heaven, now to appear in the presence of God for us;
25 He did not go there in order to offer himself many times, as does the high priest, who enters the most holy place year by year with the blood of another.
nor that repeatedly He may offer Himself, just as the high priest enters into the Holy [Places] every year with [the] blood of another;
26 If that had been the case, then he would have had to suffer many times since the beginning of the world. But now he has appeared at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn )
Otherwise it was necessary for Him repeatedly to have suffered from [the] foundation of [the] world, (now *N(k)O*) however once in [the] consummation of the ages for [the] putting away (*no*) of sin through the sacrifice of Himself He has been revealed. (aiōn )
27 Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that comes judgment,
And in as much as it is apportioned to men once to die after then this [to face] judgment,
28 so also, Christ was offered once to take away the sins of many, and will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.
so (also *no*) Christ once having been offered in order of many to bear [the] sins for a second time apart from sin will appear to those Him awaiting for salvation.
