Hebritɔwo 8
1 Nya siwo katã míegblɔ na mi la ƒe taƒonyae nye esi: be nunɔlagã vavã le mía si. Azɔ la, ele dziƒo eye wònɔ anyi ɖe bubuteƒe gãtɔ kekeake,
Now a summation about the things being spoken is, we have such a high priest who was seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
2 eyae subɔna le gbedoxɔ kple agbadɔ vavãtɔ si le dziƒo la me. Gbedoxɔ sia menye esi amegbetɔ tsɔ eƒe asi tui o, ke boŋ Aƒetɔ la ŋutɔe tui.
a minister of the holy things, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord erected and not man.
3 Esi wònye nunɔlagã ɖe sia ɖe ƒe dɔ be wòasa vɔ, eye wòana nuwo la, ele na Kristo hã be wòana nane.
For every high priest is appointed in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices, whereupon it is necessary for this man also to have something that he may offer.
4 Nenye ɖe wòle anyigba dzi la, maɖu nunɔla o elabena nunɔlawo li xoxo, ame siwo tsɔa nunanawo nana le Yudatɔwo ƒe se la nu.
For certainly if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, there being the priests who offer the gifts according to the law,
5 Nunɔla siawo subɔna le kɔkɔeƒe la si nye esi le dziƒo la ƒe vɔvɔli. Esia tae, esi Mose be yeatu Agbadɔ le gbea dzi la, Mawu xlɔ̃ nui be, “Kpɔ egbɔ be nàwɔ nu sia nu ɖe ɖoɖo si woɖe fia wò le toa dzi la nu.”
who serve for an example and shadow of the heavenly things. Just as Moses who was divinely warned while going to complete the tabernacle, for he says, See thou make all things according to the pattern that was shown thee on the mountain.
6 Ke nunɔladɔ si wode asi na Yesu la kɔ sãa wu wo tɔ, eye abe ale si nubabla si ƒe avuléla wònye la kɔ wu xoxotɔ sãa ene la, nenema kee woɖoe anyi ɖe ŋugbedodo siwo nyo wu tsãtɔwo la dzi.
But now he has obtained a superior ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a superior covenant, which has been enacted upon superior promises.
7 Elabena nenye ɖe naneke megblẽ le nubabla gbãtɔ ŋu o la, anye ne wometsɔ nubabla bubu ɖɔlii o.
For if that first one was faultless, no place would have been sought for a second.
8 Ke Mawu ŋutɔ kpɔ vodada le eƒe dukɔ la ŋu, eye wògblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ la be ŋkeke li gbɔna esi dzi mabla nu yeye kple Israel kple Yuda ƒe aƒewo.
For, finding fault with them, he says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, and I will perfect a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
9 Manɔ abe nu si mebla kple wo fofowo esi melé woƒe alɔnu, kplɔ wo do goe le Egiptenyigba la ene o, elabena womewɔ nuteƒe le nu si mebla kpli wo la me o, eya ta nye hã metrɔ megbe de wo. Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by my hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. Because they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
10 Azɔ la esiae nye nu si mabla kple Israel ƒe aƒe la, le ŋkeke siwo gbɔna la me. Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. Matsɔ nye sewo ade woƒe susuwo me, eye maŋlɔ wo ɖe woƒe dziwo ŋu. Manye woƒe Mawu, eye woawo hã woanye nye dukɔ.
Because this is the covenant that I will ordain with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord, giving my laws into their mind, and I will write them on their hearts. And I will be to them for a God, and they will be to me for a people.
11 Ame aɖeke magafia nu ehavia alo afia nu nɔvia ŋutsu agblɔ be, ‘Dze si Aƒetɔ la’ o, elabena wo katã woanyam tso ɖeviwo dzi, va se ɖe tsitsiawo dzi.
And they will, no, not teach each man his fellow citizen, and each man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, because all will know me, from their small as far as their great.
12 Matsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔwo ake wo, eye nyemagaɖo ŋku woƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi o.”
Because I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins and their lawlessness I will no, not further remember.
13 Ke esi Mawu yɔ nubabla sia be “yeye” la, ewɔ gbãtɔ wòdo xoxo, eye nu si tsi, do xoxo la nu ava yi kpuie.
In saying, New, he has made the first old. And what is becoming old and obsolete is near disappearance.
