Hebrews 8
1 Now in connexion with what we have been saying the chief point is that we have a High Priest who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God's Majesty in the heavens,
Men bagay ki pi enpòtan nan tou sa m'ap di la a: Nou gen yon kalite granprèt konsa ki chita sou bò dwat fòtèy Bondye ki wa nan syèl la.
2 and ministers in the Holy place and in the true tabernacle which not man, but the Lord pitched.
L'ap fè sèvis granprèt li nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a, sa vle di, nan kay tout bon an, kay Seyè a menm te bati. Se pa t' moun ki te bati l' pou li.
3 Every High Priest, however, is appointed to offer both bloodless gifts and sacrifices. Therefore this High Priest also must have some offering to present.
Travay yon granprèt, se ofri kado ak bèt pou touye bay Bondye. Nan kondisyon sa a, granprèt nou an dwe gen kichòy pou l' ofri tou.
4 If then He were still on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since here there are already those who present the offerings in obedience to the Law,
Si Jezi te sou latè, menm senp prèt li pa ta ye, paske gen prèt deja ki la pou ofri kado yo, dapre jan lalwa Moyiz la vle l' la.
5 and serve a copy and type of the heavenly things, just as Moses was divinely instructed when about to build the tabernacle. For God said, "See that you make everything in imitation of the pattern shown you on the mountain."
Nan sèvis prèt sa yo ap fè nan tanp ki sou latè a, se kopye y'ap kopye sou sa k'ap fèt nan syèl la. Sa y'ap fè a ou ta di se lonbraj sa k'ap fèt nan syèl la. Se konsa sa te ye pou Moyiz tou. Lè Moyiz tapral moute tant lan, Bondye di li: Gade byen pou ou ka fè tout bagay dapre modèl mwen te moutre ou sou mòn lan.
6 But, as a matter of fact, the ministry which Christ has obtained is all the nobler a ministry, in that He is at the same time the negotiator of a sublimer covenant, based upon sublimer promises.
Men, koulye a, sèvis granprèt nou an gen pou l' fè a pi konsekan lontan pase sèvis prèt sa yo. Paske, kontra li te ranje ant Bondye ak lèzòm lan pi bon lontan, li gen pi bon pwomès ki garanti li.
7 For if that first Covenant had been free from imperfection, there would have been no attempt to introduce another.
Si premye kontra a pa t' gen defo, pa ta gen nesesite pou yo ta fè yon lòt kontra pou pran plas li.
8 For, being dissatisfied with His people, God says, "'There are days coming,' says the Lord, 'When I will establish with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new Covenant--
Men, Bondye te gen repwòch pou l' fè pèp li a. Se sak fè Bondye di: Gade, pa rete lontan ankò anvan pou m' fè yon lòt kontra avèk pèp Izrayèl la, avèk branch fanmi Jida a.
9 a Covenant unlike the one which I made with their forefathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out from the land of Egypt; for they would not remain faithful to that.' 'So I turned from them,' says the Lord.
Bondye di ankò: Se p'ap yon kontra tankou kontra mwen te fè avèk zansèt yo a, lè m' te pran men yo pou m' te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip la. Yo pa t' fè tou sa yo te dwe fè dapre kontra mwen te fè ak yo a. Se poutèt sa, mwen pa t' okipe yo tou.
10 'But this is the Covenant that I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days,' says the Lord: I will put My laws into their minds and will write them upon their hearts. And I will indeed be their God and they shall be My People.
Bondye di ankò: Men kontra mwen pral fè ak pèp Izrayèl la, apre jou sa yo fin pase. M'a mete lwa m' yo nan lespri yo, m'a make lwa m' yo nan kè yo. M'a tounen Bondye tout bon pou yo, y'a tounen yon pèp ki apa pou mwen.
11 And there shall be no need for them to teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother, saying, Know the Lord. For all will know Me from the least of them to the greatest;
Pesonn p'ap bezwen moutre yon lòt moun anyen nan peyi a. Pesonn p'ap bezwen di yon lòt nan peyi a: Manyè chache konn Bondye. Paske, yo tout y'a konnen m', depi sa ki tou piti a jouk sa ki pi gran an.
12 Because I will be merciful to their wrongdoings, and their sins I will remember no longer.'"
M'a padonnen sa yo fè ki mal, mwen p'ap chonje peche yo ankò.
13 By using the words, "a new Covenant," He has made the first one obsolete; but whatever is decaying and showing signs of old age is not far from disappearing altogether.
Lè Bondye di li pral fè yon lòt kontra, li fè premye kontra a pase mòd. Tou sa ki pase mòd, tou sa ki fin vye prèt pou disparèt.
