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 of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of 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 holies, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath pitched, 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 to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that he also should have some thing to 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.
If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest: seeing that there would be others to offer 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 unto the example and shadow of heavenly things. As it was answered to Moses, when he was to finish the tabernacle: See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern which was shewn thee on the mount.
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 hath obtained a better ministry, by how much also he is a mediator of a better testament, which is established on better promises.
7 Elabena nenye ɖe naneke megblẽ le nubabla gbãtɔ ŋu o la, anye ne wometsɔ nubabla bubu ɖɔlii o.
For if that former had been faultless, there should not indeed a place 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 saith: Behold, the days shall come, saith the Lord: and I will perfect unto the house of Israel, and unto the house of Juda, a new testament:
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 testament which I made to their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt: because they continued not in my testament: and I regarded them not, saith 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.
For this is the testament which I will make to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my laws into their mind, and in their heart will I write them: and I will be their God, and they shall be my 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 shall not teach every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me from the least to the greatest of them:
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 I will remember no more.
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.
Now in saying a new, he hath made the former old. And that which decayeth and groweth old, is near its end.
