Προς Εβραιους 9

1 ειχεν μεν ουν και η πρωτη δικαιωματα λατρειασ το τε αγιον κοσμικον

Now, indeed, the first institution had both ordinances of service, and a worldly holy place.

2 σκηνη γαρ κατεσκευασθη η πρωτη εν η η τε λυχνια και η τραπεζα και η προθεσισ των αρτων ητισ λεγεται αγια

For the first tabernacle, which is called holy, was set in order; in which were both the candlestick and the table, and the showbread;

3 μετα δε το δευτερον καταπετασμα σκηνη η λεγομενη αγια αγιων

and behind the second vail, the tabernacle which is called most holy--

4 χρυσουν εχουσα θυμιατηριον και την κιβωτον τησ διαθηκησ περικεκαλυμμενην παντοθεν χρυσιω εν η σταμνοσ χρυση εχουσα το μαννα και η ραβδοσ ααρων η βλαστησασα και αι πλακεσ τησ διαθηκησ

having the golden censer, and the ark of the institution, covered everywhere with gold, in which were the golden pot having the manna, and the rod of Aaron, which budded, and the tables of the institution;

5 υπερανω δε αυτησ χερουβιμ δοξησ κατασκιαζοντα το ιλαστηριον περι ων ουκ εστιν νυν λεγειν κατα μεροσ

and above it, the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which things we can not at present speak particularly.

6 τουτων δε ουτωσ κατεσκευασμενων εισ μεν την πρωτην σκηνην δια παντοσ εισιασιν οι ιερεισ τασ λατρειασ επιτελουντεσ

Now, these things being this set in order, the priests go at all times indeed into the first tabernacle, performing the services;

7 εισ δε την δευτεραν απαξ του ενιαυτου μονοσ ο αρχιερευσ ου χωρισ αιματοσ ο προσφερει υπερ εαυτου και των του λαου αγνοηματων

but into the second tabernacle--the high priest alone--once every year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.

8 τουτο δηλουντοσ του πνευματοσ του αγιου μηπω πεφανερωσθαι την των αγιων οδον ετι τησ πρωτησ σκηνησ εχουσησ στασιν

The Holy Spirit signifying this, that the way of the holy places was not yet laid open, while the first tabernacle was yet standing;

9 ητισ παραβολη εισ τον καιρον τον ενεστηκοτα καθ ον δωρα τε και θυσιαι προσφερονται μη δυναμεναι κατα συνειδησιν τελειωσαι τον λατρευοντα

which was a figurative representation for the time being, during which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which can not, with respect to the conscience, make him who does the service perfect--

10 μονον επι βρωμασιν και πομασιν και διαφοροισ βαπτισμοισ και δικαιωμασιν σαρκοσ μεχρι καιρου διορθωσεωσ επικειμενα

only with meats and drinks, and divers immersions-- ordinances concerning the flesh, imposed till the time of reformation.

11 χριστοσ δε παραγενομενοσ αρχιερευσ των μελλοντων αγαθων δια τησ μειζονοσ και τελειοτερασ σκηνησ ου χειροποιητου τουτ εστιν ου ταυτησ τησ κτισεωσ

But Christ being come--a High Priest of the good things to come--has, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, (that is to say, not of this building, )

12 ουδε δι αιματοσ τραγων και μοσχων δια δε του ιδιου αιματοσ εισηλθεν εφαπαξ εισ τα αγια αιωνιαν λυτρωσιν ευραμενοσ (aiōnios g166)

entered once into the holy places, having obtained eternal redemption; not indeed, by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood. (aiōnios g166)

13 ει γαρ το αιμα ταυρων και τραγων και σποδοσ δαμαλεωσ ραντιζουσα τουσ κεκοινωμενουσ αγιαζει προσ την τησ σαρκοσ καθαροτητα

For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the polluted, sanctified to the cleansing of the flesh,

14 ποσω μαλλον το αιμα του χριστου οσ δια πνευματοσ αιωνιου εαυτον προσηνεγκεν αμωμον τω θεω καθαριει την συνειδησιν υμων απο νεκρων εργων εισ το λατρευειν θεω ζωντι (aiōnios g166)

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, through an Eternal Spirit, offered himself without fault, to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)

15 και δια τουτο διαθηκησ καινησ μεσιτησ εστιν οπωσ θανατου γενομενου εισ απολυτρωσιν των επι τη πρωτη διαθηκη παραβασεων την επαγγελιαν λαβωσιν οι κεκλημενοι τησ αιωνιου κληρονομιασ (aiōnios g166)

And, for this reason, he is mediator of the new institution, that, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first institution, those who had been called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

16 οπου γαρ διαθηκη θανατον αναγκη φερεσθαι του διαθεμενου

Now, where there is such an institution, the death of the instituted sacrifice must necessarily intervene:

17 διαθηκη γαρ επι νεκροισ βεβαια επει μηποτε ισχυει οτε ζη ο διαθεμενοσ

for since the institution is ratified over the dead, it has no force while the instituted sacrifice lives.

18 οθεν ουδ η πρωτη χωρισ αιματοσ εγκεκαινισται

Hence, neither was the first introduced without blood;

19 λαληθεισησ γαρ πασησ εντολησ κατα νομον υπο μωυσεωσ παντι τω λαω λαβων το αιμα των μοσχων και τραγων μετα υδατοσ και εριου κοκκινου και υσσωπου αυτο τε το βιβλιον και παντα τον λαον ερραντισεν

for "when Moses had spoken every precept in the law to all the people, taking the blood of calves, and of goats, with water and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself, and the people:"

20 λεγων τουτο το αιμα τησ διαθηκησ ησ ενετειλατο προσ υμασ ο θεοσ

saying, "This is the blood of the institution, which God has enjoined on you."

21 και την σκηνην δε και παντα τα σκευη τησ λειτουργιασ τω αιματι ομοιωσ ερραντισεν

Moreover, he in like manner sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

22 και σχεδον εν αιματι παντα καθαριζεται κατα τον νομον και χωρισ αιματεκχυσιασ ου γινεται αφεσισ

And almost all thing, according to the law, were cleansed with blood; and without the shedding of blood, there is no remission.

23 αναγκη ουν τα μεν υποδειγματα των εν τοισ ουρανοισ τουτοισ καθαριζεσθαι αυτα δε τα επουρανια κρειττοσιν θυσιαισ παρα ταυτασ

It was necessary, then, indeed, that the representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves, with better sacrifices than these.

24 ου γαρ εισ χειροποιητα αγια εισηλθεν ο χριστοσ αντιτυπα των αληθινων αλλ εισ αυτον τον ουρανον νυν εμφανισθηναι τω προσωπω του θεου υπερ ημων

Therefore, Christ has not entered into the holy places made with hands, the antitypes of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God, on our account.

25 ουδ ινα πολλακισ προσφερη εαυτον ωσπερ ο αρχιερευσ εισερχεται εισ τα αγια κατ ενιαυτον εν αιματι αλλοτριω

Not, however, that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with other blood;

26 επει εδει αυτον πολλακισ παθειν απο καταβολησ κοσμου νυν δε απαξ επι συντελεια των αιωνων εισ αθετησιν αμαρτιασ δια τησ θυσιασ αυτου πεφανερωται (aiōn g165)

for then he must have often sufferance since the foundation of the world: but now, once, at the conclusion of the ages, he has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)

27 και καθ οσον αποκειται τοισ ανθρωποισ απαξ αποθανειν μετα δε τουτο κρισισ

And, forasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, and after that, the judgment;

28 ουτωσ και ο χριστοσ απαξ προσενεχθεισ εισ το πολλων ανενεγκειν αμαρτιασ εκ δευτερου χωρισ αμαρτιασ οφθησεται τοισ αυτον απεκδεχομενοισ εισ σωτηριαν

even so Christ, being once offered, to bear away the sins of many, will, to them who look for him, appear a second time, without a sin-offering, in order to salvation.
