Hebrews 10
1 For the lawe hauinge a schadewe of good thingis `that ben to come, not the ilke image of thingis, mai neuer make men neiyinge perfit bi the ilke same sacrifices, which thei offren without ceessing bi alle yeeris;
For the Law having a shadow of the good things coming—not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near,
2 ellis thei schulden haue ceessid to be offrid, for as myche as the worschiperis clensid onys, hadden not ferthermore conscience of synne.
since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of those serving having no more conscience of sins, having been purified once?
3 But in hem mynde of synnes is maad bi alle yeris.
But in those [sacrifices] is a remembrance of sins every year,
4 For it is impossible that synnes be doon awei bi blood of boolis, and of buckis of geet.
for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Therfor he entrynge in to the world, seith, Thou woldist not sacrifice and offryng; but thou hast schapun a bodi to me;
For this reason, coming into the world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering You did not will, and a body You prepared for Me;
6 brent sacrificis also for synne plesiden not to thee.
in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, You did not delight.
7 Thanne Y seide, Lo! Y come; in the bigynnyng of the book it is writun of me, that Y do thi wille, God.
Then I said, Behold, I come (in a volume of the scroll it has been written concerning Me), to do, O God, Your will”;
8 He seiynge bifor, That thou woldist not sacrificis, and offringis, and brent sacrifices for synne, ne tho thingis ben plesaunt to thee, whiche ben offrid bi the lawe,
saying above, “Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering You did not will, nor delight in” (which are offered according to the Law),
9 thanne Y seide, Lo! Y come, that Y do thi wille, God. He doith awei the firste, that he make stidfast the secounde.
then He said, “Behold, I come to do, O God, Your will”; He takes away the first that He may establish the second;
10 In which wille we ben halewid bi the offring of the bodi of Crist Jhesu onys.
in which will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all,
11 And ech prest is redi mynystrynge ech dai, and ofte tymes offringe the same sacrifices, whiche moun neuere do awei synnes.
and every priest, indeed, has daily stood serving, and offering the same sacrifices many times, that are never able to take away sins.
12 But this man offringe o sacrifice for synnes, for euere more sittith in the riythalf of God the fadir;
But He, having offered one sacrifice for sin—to the end, sat down at the right hand of God—
13 fro thennus forth abidinge, til hise enemyes ben put a stool of hise feet.
as to the rest, expecting until He may place His enemies [as] His footstool,
14 For bi oon offring he made perfit for euere halewid men.
for by one offering He has perfected to the end those being sanctified;
15 And the Hooli Goost witnessith to vs; for aftir that he seide, This is the testament,
and the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after that He has said before,
16 which Y schal witnesse to hem after tho daies, the Lord seith, in yyuynge my lawes in the hertis of hem, and in the soulis of hem Y schal aboue write hem;
“This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD, giving My laws on their hearts, and I will write them on their minds,”
17 and now Y schal no more thenke on the synnes and the wickidnessis of hem.
and, “I will remember their sins and their lawlessness no more”;
18 And where remyssioun of these is, now is ther noon offring for synne.
and where [there is] forgiveness of these, there is no longer offering for sin.
19 Therfor, britheren, hauynge trist in to the entring of hooli thingis in the blood of Crist,
Having, therefore, brothers, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, by the blood of Jesus,
20 which halewide to vs a newe weie, and lyuynge bi the hiling, that is to seie,
which [is] the way He initiated for us—new and living, through the veil, that is, His flesh—
21 his fleisch, and we hauynge the greet preest on the hous of God,
and a Great Priest over the house of God,
22 neiye we with very herte in the plente of feith; and be oure hertis spreined fro an yuel conscience, and oure bodies waischun with clene watir,
may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;
23 and holde we the confessioun of oure hope, bowinge to no side; for he is trewe that hath made the biheeste.
may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope (for He who promised [is] faithful),
24 And biholde we togidere in the stiring of charite and of good werkis; not forsakinge oure gadering togidere,
and may we consider to provoke one another to love and to good works,
25 as it is of custom to sum men, but coumfortinge, and bi so myche the more, bi hou myche ye seen the dai neiyynge.
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as [is] a custom of some, but exhorting, and so much the more as you see the Day coming near.
26 Forwhi now a sacrifice for synnes is not left to vs, that synnen wilfuli, aftir that we han take the knowyng of treuthe.
For [if] we are sinning willingly after receiving the full knowledge of the truth—there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 Forwhi sum abiding of the dom is dreedful, and the suyng of fier, which schal waste aduersaries.
but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;
28 Who that brekith Moises lawe, dieth withouten ony merci, bi tweine or thre witnessis;
anyone having set aside a law of Moses dies without mercies on the basis of two or three witnesses.
29 hou myche more gessen ye, that he disserueth worse turmentis, which defouleth the sone of God, and holdith the blood of the testament pollut, in which he is halewid, and doith dispit to the spirit of grace?
Of how much worse punishment will he be counted worthy who trampled on the Son of God, and counted the blood of the covenant a common thing, by which he was sanctified, and having insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 For we knowen him that seide, To me veniaunce, and Y schal yelde. And eft, For the Lord schal deme his puple.
For we have known Him who is saying, “Vengeance [is] Mine, I will repay, says the LORD”; and again, “The LORD will judge His people.”
31 It is ferdful to falle in to the hondis of God lyuynge.
[It is] fearful to fall into [the] hands of [the] living God.
32 And haue ye mynde on the formere daies, in which ye weren liytned, and suffriden greet strijf of passiouns.
But call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, you endured much conflict of sufferings;
33 And in the `tothir ye weren maad a spectacle bi schenschipis and tribulaciouns; in an othir ye weren maad felowis of men lyuynge so.
this indeed, being made spectacles with both insults and afflictions, now this, having become partners of those so living,
34 For also to boundun men ye hadden compassioun, and ye resseyueden with ioye the robbyng of youre goodis, knowinge that ye han a betere and a dwellinge substaunce.
for you also sympathized with my bonds, and the robbery of your goods you received with joy, knowing that you have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.
35 Therfor nyle ye leese youre trist, which hath greet rewarding.
You may not cast away, then, your boldness, which has great repayment of reward,
36 For pacience is nedeful to you, that ye do the wille of God, and bringe ayen the biheest.
for you have need of patience, that having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37 For yit a litil, and he that is to comynge schal come, and he schal not tarie.
“For yet [in] a very, very little [while], He who is coming will come, and will not linger,”
38 For my iust man lyueth of feith; that if he withdrawith hym silf, he schal not plese to my soule.
but, “The righteous will live by faith; and if he may draw back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we ben not the sones of withdrawing awei in to perdicioun, but of feith in to getynge of soule.
But we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.
