Προς Εβραιους 10

1 σκιαν γαρ εχων ο νομοσ των μελλοντων αγαθων ουκ αυτην την εικονα των πραγματων κατ ενιαυτον ταισ αυταισ θυσιαισ ασ προσφερουσιν εισ το διηνεκεσ ουδεποτε δυνανται τουσ προσερχομενουσ τελειωσαι

For the Law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

2 επει ουκ αν επαυσαντο προσφερομεναι δια το μηδεμιαν εχειν ετι συνειδησιν αμαρτιων τουσ λατρευοντασ απαξ κεκαθαρμενουσ

Or else would not they have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?

3 αλλ εν αυταισ αναμνησισ αμαρτιων κατ ενιαυτον

But in those sacrifices there is yearly reminder of sins.

4 αδυνατον γαρ αιμα ταυρων και τραγων αφαιρειν αμαρτιασ

For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

5 διο εισερχομενοσ εισ τον κοσμον λεγει θυσιαν και προσφοραν ουκ ηθελησασ σωμα δε κατηρτισω μοι

Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me.

6 ολοκαυτωματα και περι αμαρτιασ ουκ ευδοκησασ

Whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you took no pleasure in.

7 τοτε ειπον ιδου ηκω εν κεφαλιδι βιβλιου γεγραπται περι εμου του ποιησαι ο θεοσ το θελημα σου

Then I said, 'Look, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll of a book; to do your will, God.'"

8 ανωτερον λεγων οτι θυσιαν και προσφοραν και ολοκαυτωματα και περι αμαρτιασ ουκ ηθελησασ ουδε ευδοκησασ αιτινεσ κατα τον νομον προσφερονται

Previously saying, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you did not desire, nor took pleasure in" (which are offered according to the Law),

9 τοτε ειρηκεν ιδου ηκω του ποιησαι ο θεοσ το θελημα σου αναιρει το πρωτον ινα το δευτερον στηση

then he said, "Look, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,

10 εν ω θεληματι ηγιασμενοι εσμεν οι δια τησ προσφορασ του σωματοσ ιησου χριστου εφαπαξ

by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 και πασ μεν ιερευσ εστηκεν καθ ημεραν λειτουργων και τασ αυτασ πολλακισ προσφερων θυσιασ αιτινεσ ουδεποτε δυνανται περιελειν αμαρτιασ

Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,

12 αυτοσ δε μιαν υπερ αμαρτιων προσενεγκασ θυσιαν εισ το διηνεκεσ εκαθισεν εν δεξια του θεου

but this one, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

13 το λοιπον εκδεχομενοσ εωσ τεθωσιν οι εχθροι αυτου υποποδιον των ποδων αυτου

from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.

14 μια γαρ προσφορα τετελειωκεν εισ το διηνεκεσ τουσ αγιαζομενουσ

For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

15 μαρτυρει δε ημιν και το πνευμα το αγιον μετα γαρ το προειρηκεναι

The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

16 αυτη η διαθηκη ην διαθησομαι προσ αυτουσ μετα τασ ημερασ εκεινασ λεγει κυριοσ διδουσ νομουσ μου επι καρδιασ αυτων και επι των διανοιων αυτων επιγραψω αυτουσ

"This is the covenant that I will make with them: 'After those days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws on their hearts, I will also write them on their minds.'"

17 και των αμαρτιων αυτων και των ανομιων αυτων ου μη μνησθω ετι

"And I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more."

18 οπου δε αφεσισ τουτων ουκετι προσφορα περι αμαρτιασ

Now where forgiveness of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

19 εχοντεσ ουν αδελφοι παρρησιαν εισ την εισοδον των αγιων εν τω αιματι ιησου

Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

20 ην ενεκαινισεν ημιν οδον προσφατον και ζωσαν δια του καταπετασματοσ τουτ εστιν τησ σαρκοσ αυτου

by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the curtain, that is to say, his flesh;

21 και ιερεα μεγαν επι τον οικον του θεου

and having a great priest over the house of God,

22 προσερχωμεθα μετα αληθινησ καρδιασ εν πληροφορια πιστεωσ ερραντισμενοι τασ καρδιασ απο συνειδησεωσ πονηρασ και λελουμενοι το σωμα υδατι καθαρω

let us draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

23 κατεχωμεν την ομολογιαν τησ ελπιδοσ ακλινη πιστοσ γαρ ο επαγγειλαμενοσ

let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.

24 και κατανοωμεν αλληλουσ εισ παροξυσμον αγαπησ και καλων εργων

Let us consider how to motivate one another to love and good works,

25 μη εγκαταλειποντεσ την επισυναγωγην εαυτων καθωσ εθοσ τισιν αλλα παρακαλουντεσ και τοσουτω μαλλον οσω βλεπετε εγγιζουσαν την ημεραν

not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.

26 εκουσιωσ γαρ αμαρτανοντων ημων μετα το λαβειν την επιγνωσιν τησ αληθειασ ουκετι περι αμαρτιων απολειπεται θυσια

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

27 φοβερα δε τισ εκδοχη κρισεωσ και πυροσ ζηλοσ εσθιειν μελλοντοσ τουσ υπεναντιουσ

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.

28 αθετησασ τισ νομον μωυσεωσ χωρισ οικτιρμων επι δυσιν η τρισιν μαρτυσιν αποθνησκει

Anyone who disregards the Law of Moses dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.

29 ποσω δοκειτε χειρονοσ αξιωθησεται τιμωριασ ο τον υιον του θεου καταπατησασ και το αιμα τησ διαθηκησ κοινον ηγησαμενοσ εν ω ηγιασθη και το πνευμα τησ χαριτοσ ενυβρισασ

How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

30 οιδαμεν γαρ τον ειποντα εμοι εκδικησισ εγω ανταποδωσω λεγει κυριοσ και παλιν κυριοσ κρινει τον λαον αυτου

For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay." Again, "The Lord will judge his people."

31 φοβερον το εμπεσειν εισ χειρασ θεου ζωντοσ

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 αναμιμνησκεσθε δε τασ προτερον ημερασ εν αισ φωτισθεντεσ πολλην αθλησιν υπεμεινατε παθηματων

But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings;

33 τουτο μεν ονειδισμοισ τε και θλιψεσιν θεατριζομενοι τουτο δε κοινωνοι των ουτωσ αναστρεφομενων γενηθεντεσ

partly, being exposed to insults and abuse in public, and sometimes you came to share with others who were treated in the same way.

34 και γαρ τοισ δεσμοισ μου συνεπαθησατε και την αρπαγην των υπαρχοντων υμων μετα χαρασ προσεδεξασθε γινωσκοντεσ εχειν εαυτοισ κρειττονα υπαρξιν εν ουρανοισ και μενουσαν

For you both had compassion on them that were in chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an enduring one.

35 μη αποβαλητε ουν την παρρησιαν υμων ητισ εχει μισθαποδοσιαν μεγαλην

Therefore do not throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

36 υπομονησ γαρ εχετε χρειαν ινα το θελημα του θεου ποιησαντεσ κομισησθε την επαγγελιαν

For you need patient endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

37 ετι γαρ μικρον οσον οσον ο ερχομενοσ ηξει και ου χρονιει

"For in just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.

38 ο δε δικαιοσ εκ πιστεωσ ζησεται και εαν υποστειληται ουκ ευδοκει η ψυχη μου εν αυτω

But the righteous will live by faith, and if he holds back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

39 ημεισ δε ουκ εσμεν υποστολησ εισ απωλειαν αλλα πιστεωσ εισ περιποιησιν ψυχησ

But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
