Hebrews 8
1 Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this: we have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
今いふ所の要點は斯くのごとき大 祭司の我らにある事なり。彼は天にては稜威の御座の右に坐し、
2 a servant of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched, not man.
聖所および眞の幕屋に事へたまふ。この幕屋は人の設くるものにあらず、主の設けたまふ所なり。
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
おおよそ大 祭司の立てらるるは供物と犧牲とを献げん爲なり、この故に彼もまた献ぐべき物あるべきなり。
4 For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Torah,
然るに若し地に在さば、既に律法に循ひて供物を献ぐる祭司 等あるによりて祭司とはなり給はざるべし。
5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, “See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.”
彼らの事ふるは、天にある物の型と影となり。モーセが幕屋を建てんとする時に『愼め、山にて汝が示されたる式に效ひて凡ての物を造れ』との御告を受けしが如し。
6 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as Torah.
されどキリストは更に勝れる約束に基きて立てられし勝れる契約の中保となりたれば、更に勝る職を受け給へり。
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
かつ初の契約もし虧くる所なくば、第二の契約を求むる事なかりしならん。
8 For finding fault with them, he said, “Behold, the days are coming”, says the Lord, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
然るに彼らを咎めて言ひ給ふ『主いひ給ふ「視よ、我イスラエルの家とユダの家とに、新しき契約を設くる日 來らん。
9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.
この契約は我かれらの先祖の手を執りて、エジプトの地より導き出しし時に立てし所の如きにあらず、彼らは我が契約にとどまらず、我も彼らを顧みざりしなり」と主いひ給ふ。
10 “For 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 mind; I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
「されば、かの日の後に我がイスラエルの家と立つる契約は是なり」と主いひ給ふ。「われ我が律法を彼らの念に置き、そのこころに之を記さん、また我かれらの神となり、彼らは我が民とならん。
11 They will not teach every man his fellow citizen and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from their least to their greatest.
彼らはまた各人その國人に、その兄弟に教へて、なんじ主を知れと言はざるべし。そは小より大に至るまで、皆われを知らん。
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.”
我もその不義を憐み、この後また其の罪を思ひ出でざるべし』と。
13 In that he says, “A new covenant”, he has made the first obsolete. But that which is becoming obsolete and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
既に『新し』と言ひ給へば、初のものを舊しとし給へるなり、舊びて衰ふるものは、消失せんとするなり。
