Hebrews 10
1 For, since the Law exhibits only an outline of the blessings to come and not a perfect representation of the things themselves, the priests can never, by repeating the same sacrifices which they continually offer year after year, give complete freedom from sin to those who draw near.
σκιαν γαρ εχων ο νομος των μελλοντων αγαθων ουκ αυτην την εικονα των πραγματων κατ ενιαυτον ταις αυταις θυσιαις ας προσφερουσιν εις το διηνεκες ουδεποτε δυναται τους προσερχομενους τελειωσαι
2 For then would not the sacrifices have ceased to be offered, because the consciences of the worshippers--who in that case would now have been cleansed once for all--would no longer be burdened with sins?
επει ουκ αν επαυσαντο προσφερομεναι δια το μηδεμιαν εχειν ετι συνειδησιν αμαρτιων τους λατρευοντας απαξ κεκαθαρμενους
3 But in those sacrifices sins are recalled to memory year after year.
αλλ εν αυταις αναμνησις αμαρτιων κατ ενιαυτον
4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
αδυνατον γαρ αιμα ταυρων και τραγων αφαιρειν αμαρτιας
5 That is why, when He comes into the world, He says, "Sacrifice and offering Thou has not desired, but a body Thou hast prepared for Me.
διο εισερχομενος εις τον κοσμον λεγει θυσιαν και προσφοραν ουκ ηθελησας σωμα δε κατηρτισω μοι
6 In whole burnt-offerings and in sin-offerings Thou hast taken no pleasure.
ολοκαυτωματα και περι αμαρτιας ουκ ευδοκησας
7 Then I said, 'I have come--in the roll of the book it is written concerning Me--to do Thy will, O God.'"
τοτε ειπον ιδου ηκω εν κεφαλιδι βιβλιου γεγραπται περι εμου του ποιησαι ο θεος το θελημα σου
8 After saying the words I have just quoted, "Sacrifices and offerings or whole burnt-offerings and sin-offerings Thou hast not desired or taken pleasure in" --all such being offered in obedience to the Law--
ανωτερον λεγων οτι θυσιαν και προσφοραν και ολοκαυτωματα και περι αμαρτιας ουκ ηθελησας ουδε ευδοκησας αιτινες κατα τον νομον προσφερονται
9 He then adds, "I have come to do Thy will." He does away with the first in order to establish the second.
τοτε ειρηκεν ιδου ηκω του ποιησαι ο θεος το θελημα σου αναιρει το πρωτον ινα το δευτερον στηση
10 It is through that divine will that we have been set free from sin, through the offering of Jesus Christ as our sacrifice once for all.
εν ω θεληματι ηγιασμενοι εσμεν δια της προσφορας του σωματος του ιησου χριστου εφαπαξ
11 And while every priest stands ministering, day after day, and constantly offering the same sacrifices--though such can never rid us of our sins--
και πας μεν ιερευς εστηκεν καθ ημεραν λειτουργων και τας αυτας πολλακις προσφερων θυσιας αιτινες ουδεποτε δυνανται περιελειν αμαρτιας
12 this Priest, on the contrary, after offering for sins a single sacrifice of perpetual efficacy, took His seat at God's right hand,
αυτος δε μιαν υπερ αμαρτιων προσενεγκας θυσιαν εις το διηνεκες εκαθισεν εν δεξια του θεου
13 waiting from that time onward until His enemies be put as a footstool under His feet.
το λοιπον εκδεχομενος εως τεθωσιν οι εχθροι αυτου υποποδιον των ποδων αυτου
14 For by a single offering He has for ever completed the blessing for those whom He is setting free from sin.
μια γαρ προσφορα τετελειωκεν εις το διηνεκες τους αγιαζομενους
15 And the Holy Spirit also gives us His testimony; for when He had said,
μαρτυρει δε ημιν και το πνευμα το αγιον μετα γαρ το προειρηκεναι
16 "'This is the Covenant that I will make with them after those days,' says the Lord: 'I will put My laws upon their hearts and will write them on their minds;'"
αυτη η διαθηκη ην διαθησομαι προς αυτους μετα τας ημερας εκεινας λεγει κυριος διδους νομους μου επι καρδιας αυτων και επι των διανοιων αυτων επιγραψω αυτους
17 He adds, "And their sins and offences I will remember no longer."
και των αμαρτιων αυτων και των ανομιων αυτων ου μη μνησθω ετι
18 But where these have been forgiven no further offering for sin is required.
οπου δε αφεσις τουτων ουκετι προσφορα περι αμαρτιας
19 Since then, brethren, we have free access to the Holy place through the blood of Jesus,
εχοντες ουν αδελφοι παρρησιαν εις την εισοδον των αγιων εν τω αιματι ιησου
20 by the new and ever-living way which He opened up for us through the rending of the veil--that is to say, of His earthly nature--
ην ενεκαινισεν ημιν οδον προσφατον και ζωσαν δια του καταπετασματος τουτεστιν της σαρκος αυτου
21 and since we have a great Priest who has authority over the house of God,
και ιερεα μεγαν επι τον οικον του θεου
22 let us draw near with sincerity and unfaltering faith, having had our hearts sprinkled, once for all, from consciences oppressed with sin, and our bodies bathed in pure water.
προσερχωμεθα μετα αληθινης καρδιας εν πληροφορια πιστεως ερραντισμενοι τας καρδιας απο συνειδησεως πονηρας και λελουμενοι το σωμα υδατι καθαρω
23 Let us hold firmly to an unflinching avowal of our hope, for He is faithful who gave us the promises.
κατεχωμεν την ομολογιαν της ελπιδος ακλινη πιστος γαρ ο επαγγειλαμενος
24 And let us bestow thought on one another with a view to arousing one another to brotherly love and right conduct;
και κατανοωμεν αλληλους εις παροξυσμον αγαπης και καλων εργων
25 not neglecting--as some habitually do--to meet together, but encouraging one another, and doing this all the more since you can see the day of Christ approaching.
μη εγκαταλειποντες την επισυναγωγην εαυτων καθως εθος τισιν αλλα παρακαλουντες και τοσουτω μαλλον οσω βλεπετε εγγιζουσαν την ημεραν
26 For if we wilfully persist in sin after having received the full knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains in reserve any other sacrifice for sins.
εκουσιως γαρ αμαρτανοντων ημων μετα το λαβειν την επιγνωσιν της αληθειας ουκετι περι αμαρτιων απολειπεται θυσια
27 There remains nothing but a certain awful expectation of judgement, and the fury of a fire which before long will devour the enemies of the truth.
φοβερα δε τις εκδοχη κρισεως και πυρος ζηλος εσθιειν μελλοντος τους υπεναντιους
28 Any one who bids defiance to the Law of Moses is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
αθετησας τις νομον μωσεως χωρις οικτιρμων επι δυσιν η τρισιν μαρτυσιν αποθνησκει
29 How much severer punishment, think you, will he be held to deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, has not regarded as holy that Covenant-blood with which he was set free from sin, and has insulted the Spirit from whom comes grace?
ποσω δοκειτε χειρονος αξιωθησεται τιμωριας ο τον υιον του θεου καταπατησας και το αιμα της διαθηκης κοινον ηγησαμενος εν ω ηγιασθη και το πνευμα της χαριτος ενυβρισας
30 For we know who it is that has said, "Vengeance belongs to Me: I will pay back;" and again, "The Lord will be His people's judge."
οιδαμεν γαρ τον ειποντα εμοι εκδικησις εγω ανταποδωσω λεγει κυριος και παλιν κυριος κρινει τον λαον αυτου
31 It is an awful thing to fall into the hands of the ever-living God.
φοβερον το εμπεσειν εις χειρας θεου ζωντος
32 But continually recall to mind the days now past, when on being first enlightened you went through a great conflict and many sufferings.
αναμιμνησκεσθε δε τας προτερον ημερας εν αις φωτισθεντες πολλην αθλησιν υπεμεινατε παθηματων
33 This was partly through allowing yourselves to be made a public spectacle amid reproaches and persecutions, and partly through coming forward to share the sufferings of those who were thus treated.
τουτο μεν ονειδισμοις τε και θλιψεσιν θεατριζομενοι τουτο δε κοινωνοι των ουτως αναστρεφομενων γενηθεντες
34 For you not only showed sympathy with those who were imprisoned, but you even submitted with joy when your property was taken from you, being well aware that you have in your own selves a more valuable possession and one which will remain.
και γαρ τοις δεσμοις μου συνεπαθησατε και την αρπαγην των υπαρχοντων υμων μετα χαρας προσεδεξασθε γινωσκοντες εχειν εν εαυτοις κρειττονα υπαρξιν εν ουρανοις και μενουσαν
35 Therefore do not cast from you your confident hope, for it will receive a vast reward.
μη αποβαλητε ουν την παρρησιαν υμων ητις εχει μισθαποδοσιαν μεγαλην
36 For you stand in need of patient endurance, so that, as the result of having done the will of God, you may receive the promised blessing.
υπομονης γαρ εχετε χρειαν ινα το θελημα του θεου ποιησαντες κομισησθε την επαγγελιαν
37 For there is still but a short time and then "The coming One will come and will not delay.
ετι γαρ μικρον οσον οσον ο ερχομενος ηξει και ου χρονιει
38 But it is by faith that My righteous servant shall live; and if he shrinks back, My soul takes no pleasure in him."
ο δε δικαιος εκ πιστεως ζησεται και εαν υποστειληται ουκ ευδοκει η ψυχη μου εν αυτω
39 But we are not people who shrink back and perish, but are among those who believe and gain possession of their souls.
ημεις δε ουκ εσμεν υποστολης εις απωλειαν αλλα πιστεως εις περιποιησιν ψυχης
