Ebre 10

1 Lalwa Moyiz la pa t' menm yon bon pòtre bagay ki la tout bon yo. Se yon senp lonbraj benediksyon ki gen pou vini yo li ye. Moun ki pwoche bò kote Bondye avèk menm kalite ofrann bèt y'ap plede ofri chak lanne san rete a, moun sa yo, lalwa pa ka fè yo vin bon nèt.

Just like a shadow vaguely represents the thing that it is a shadow of, the laws that God [gave Moses] only poorly represent [MET] the good things that were to come later. Those laws were not all the good things themselves that God has promised. So, by offering the same kinds of sacrifices every year, people [PRS] who approach God can never become (perfect/all that God intends them to be).

2 Si moun ki fè sèvis sa yo pou Bondye te lave tout bon anba peche yo, yo pa ta santi yo koupab okenn peche ankò. Yo ta sispann fè ofrann bèt pou touye.

If God had removed the guilt for having sinned of those who brought the sacrifices, they would not feel that they were still guilty. So they would certainly have stopped offering those sacrifices! [RHQ]

3 Men, okontrè, chak lanne bèt yo touye yo fè moun yo chonje jan yo peche.

But rather, the fact that they offer those sacrifices each year reminds them that they are still guilty for their sins.

4 Tou sa, paske san bouk ak san jenn towo bèf p'ap janm ka wete peche moun.

The principle is that blood of animals such as bulls or goats can never remove the guilt of those who have sinned.

5 Se poutèt sa, lè Kris la tapral vin sou latè, li di Bondye: Ou pa bezwen yo fè okenn ofrann bèt pou yo touye pou ou, ni pou yo fè ou kado anyen. Men, ou ban m' yon kò.

So, as [Christ] was coming into the world, he spoke [to his Father about offering himself as a sacrifice for people’s sin. The Psalmist wrote this that Christ said]: It is not sacrifices and offerings that you [(sg)] have wanted, but you have prepared for me a body [to serve you].

6 Se pa ofrann vyann bèt yo boule sou lotèl la k'ap fè ou plezi. Ni se pa ofrann bèt yo touye pou wete peche yo k'ap fè ou plezi.

Animals that are completely burned up as sacrifices have not pleased you, and [other sacrifices that atone] for those who have sinned have not pleased you.

7 Lè sa a, mwen di: Men mwen, Bondye. Mwen vin pou fè volonte ou, jan sa ekri sou mwen nan liv lalwa a.

Then [because of this], I said, “My God, (listen!/here I am!) I have come [here] in order to do what you want me [to do], [just like] has been written {as they have written} about me in the Scriptures.”

8 Premye bagay li di se: Ou pa bezwen yo fè okenn ofrann bèt pou yo touye pou ou, ni pou yo fè ou kado anyen, ni ofrann vyann bèt yo boule sou lotèl la, ni ofrann bèt yo touye pou wete peche yo: bagay sa yo pa fè ou plezi. Men, tout ofrann bèt sa yo, se yo lalwa Moyiz la mande.

First, [Christ] said, “It is not sacrifices and offerings and animals that [the priests] have completely burned up and other [offerings to atone for] those who have sinned that you have really wanted. They have not pleased you.” [Christ said that even though] those things were offered {they offered all those things} according to the laws [God gave Moses]!

9 Apre sa, li di: Men mwen, Bondye. Mwen vin pou fè volonte ou. Konsa, Bondye aboli tout ansyen ofrann bèt yo, li ranplase yo ak ofrann Kris la menm.

Then, [concerning his offering himself as a sacrifice to atone for people’s sin], he said, “Listen! I have come [here] to do what you want me [to do]!” In that way Christ got rid of the first [way of atoning for sin], in order to establish the second [way of atoning for] sin.

10 Kifè nou netwaye anba peche nou yo, se paske Jezikri te fè tou sa Bondye te vle, li ofri kò pa li bay Bondye yon sèl fwa, epi l' fini.

Because of Jesus Christ [doing what God] wanted him to do, we have been dedicated to {[he] has set us apart for} God by his offering his own body only once [as a sacrifice, a sacrifice that will not need to be repeated].

11 Pou prèt jwif yo, se chak jou pou yo kanpe ap fè sèvis yo. Y'ap plede ofri menm sakrifis yo plizyè fwa. Men, sakrifis sa yo p'ap janm ka wete peche.

As every [Jewish] priest stands daily [in front of the altar], he performs rituals and offers the same kind of sacrifices that could never remove [the guilt from anyone who] sinned [MTY].

12 Men, Kris la pou tèt pa l' fè yon sèl ofrann san pou tout peche yo, yon ofrann san ki bon pou tout tan. Apre sa, li chita sou bò dwat Bondye.

But [Christ] offered a sacrifice that [will be adequate] forever, and he offered it only one time! Then he sat down [to rule] with God at the place of highest honor [MTY].

13 Koulye a, se la l'ap tann Bondye mete tout lènmi l' yo tankou yon ti ban pou lonje pye li.

From now on, he is waiting for [God] to completely subdue [all] Christ’s enemies [MTY].

14 Konsa, avèk sèl ofrann li fè a, li fè moun li netwaye anba peche yo bon nèt pou tout tan.

By offering himself once, he has provided that those whom [God] has set apart will be eternally made (perfect/all that God intends them to be).

15 Se sa Sentespri di nou tou. Paske, lè li fin di:

The Holy Spirit also confirms to us [that this is true]. First the Lord says:

16 Men kontra mwen pral fè ak yo apre jou sa yo. Se Bondye menm ki di sa. M'a mete lwa m' yo nan kè yo, m'a make lwa m' yo nan lespri yo.

When the time [MTY] [when the first covenant that God made] with my people has ended, I will make a new covenant with them [MTY]. I will do like this for them: I will cause them to understand my laws and I will cause them to obey them (OR, enable them to know them sincerely).

17 Apre sa, li di: Mwen p'ap janm chonje ni peche yo, ni sa yo fè ki mal.

Then [the Lord said]: [I will forgive them for] their [DOU] sins, and I will [consider] that they are no longer [guilty for] having sinned.

18 Konsa, lè Bondye fin padonnen peche yo, pa gen nesesite pou yo fè ofrann ankò pou wete peche.

When [God] has forgiven someone’s sins, that person does not [need to make] any more offerings [to atone for his sin]!

19 Konsa, frè m' yo, gremesi san Kris la ki koule lè li mouri pou nou an, nou gen antre lib kote yo mete apa pou Bondye a.

So, my fellow believers, because we [trust in what Jesus accomplished when] his own blood [flowed for us], we can confidently go into [God’s very presence] that was [symbolized] by the very holy place [in the tent] [MTY].

20 Kris la louvri yon chemen nèf pou nou, yon chemen k'ap ban nou lavi, yon chemen ki pase nan mitan vwal la, sa vle di: nan kò l' menm.

Jesus enabled us to go into [God’s presence] by making a new and effective way. [Specifically], he [offered] his body [as a sacrifice] for us [in order that nothing would stop us] from entering [God’s presence, just like] [MET] the curtain [of the very holy place prevented people from entering God’s presence].

21 Nou gen yon granprèt ki reskonsab tout kay Bondye a.

Christ is a great priest [who rules over us, who are] God’s people [MTY].

22 Ann pwoche bò kot Bondye ak tout kè nou, ak yon konfyans byen chita, san nou pa gen anyen nan kè nou ki pou boulvèse konsyans nou, kò nou menm byen netwaye nan yon dlo byen pwòp.

[Just like the priests] were sprinkled {[as Moses] sprinkled [the priests]} [with blood] [MET] to symbolize that they were no longer guilty for having sinned, we also no longer are [guilty for having done] evil. [Just like the priests ceremonially] washed their bodies with pure water [to prepare themselves to serve God], we are allowing [God] to continually make us pure. So, we [(inc)] must approach [God] sincerely by confidently trusting [in him].

23 Ann kenbe espwa nou genyen an byen fèm. Paske, nou mèt sèten, Bondye ap kenbe pwomès li.

We must unwaveringly keep holding tight [to what we believe. Since God] faithfully [does all] he promised [to do], we must confidently expect [him to keep doing that].

24 Se pou nou yonn veye sou lòt pou yonn ka ede lòt gen renmen nan kè nou, pou yonn ka ankouraje lòt nan fè sa ki byen.

[Since God] faithfully [does all that] he promised [to do], let us consider how each of us can motivate other believers, in order that [believers] will love each other, and in order that each one will do good things.

25 Pa pran egzanp sou moun ki pran abitid pa vin nan reyinyon nou yo. Okontrè, se pou yonn ankouraje lòt fè sa, koulye a pi plis pase anvan, paske nou wè jou Seyè a ap pwoche.

We must not stop assembling ourselves [to worship the Lord], as some people have done. Instead, each one of us must encourage/exhort other believers. [Let us do that] even more since we know that the day [that the Lord will return] [MTY] is near.

26 Si, apre nou fin konn verite a, nou toujou ap fè sa nou konnen ki mal, pa gen ofrann bèt ki ka wete peche sa yo.

[We(inc) must do those things], because if we deliberately and habitually sin after we have known the true [message about Christ], no other sacrifice will remove our guilt for having sinned in that way.

27 Nou mèt pè kont kò nou. Yon sèl bagay ki rete pou nou fè, se rete tann jijman an ansanm ak gwo dife ki gen pou vin detwi tout lènmi Bondye yo.

Instead, we must fearfully expect that [God will] judge and angrily [punish] his enemies in a furious fire [MET].

28 Lè yon moun te dezobeyi lalwa Moyiz la, depi te gen de osinon twa moun ki vin depoze kont li, se touye pou yo te touye l' san pitye.

Everyone who rejected the laws [that God gave] Moses was mercilessly killed when [at least] two or three people testified that they had done that.

29 Nou pa bezwen mande kisa ki va rive yon moun k'ap meprize Pitit Bondye a, yon moun ki pran san Pitit Bondye a pou anyen, san ki sèvi pou siyen kontra Bondye a, san ki mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a, san ki mete nou apa pou Bondye a. Wi, nou pa bezwen mande kisa ki va rive yon moun k'ap joure Lespri Bondye ki ban nou favè li a. Nou tou konnen li merite yon pi gwo chatiman.

[That was severe punishment]. But [Christ] is (God’s Son/the man who is also God). His blood, by means of which [he put into effect] the new covenant, is sacred. Because of [Christ’s] [MTY] blood [flowing for us when he died], [God] freed us from our guilt. So, you can be sure [RHQ] that anyone who shows contempt for [those truths] and who insults the Spirit of God, the one who acts with kindness toward us in a way we do not deserve, deserves to be punished even worse than [those Israelis were punished] [MET]!

30 Nou menm, nou konnen moun ki te di: Se mwen menm sèl ki gen dwa tire revanj, se mwen menm sèl ki va bay moun sa yo merite. Se li menm tou ki te di: Bondye gen pou l' jije pèp li a.

[We can be sure of that] (OR, [need to think about that carefully]) since we know that God said, “I myself will get revenge on those who sinned, and I will punish them as they deserve [DOU].” [Moses wrote], “The Lord will judge his people.”

31 Aaa! Se yon bagay terib wi, pou yon moun tonbe anba men Bondye vivan an!

It will be a terrible thing if God who is all-powerful [MTY] seizes and punishes you [IDM]!

32 Chonje sa ki te rive nou nan tan lontan. Lè sa a, nou te fèk fin resevwa limyè Bondye a, nou te soufri anpil. Men, nou te kenbe fèm nan batay la.

Recall previous times when you [first] understood [MET] [the message about Christ]. You endured a hard struggle, but you [continued to trust him] when you suffered [because you believed in Christ].

33 Yon lè, se nou menm yo t'ap joure, yo t'ap maltrete devan tout moun. Yon lòt lè, se nou menm, pou tèt pa nou, ki te al pran pou moun yo t'ap joure yo, pou moun yo t'ap maltrete yo.

At times you were publicly insulted {people publicly insulted you} and you suffered {people persecuted you}. But you showed great concern for those who were treated like that.

34 Nou te soufri ansanm ak tout moun ki te nan prizon. Menm lè yo te sezi tout byen nou yo, nou te kontan asepte pèdi yo, paske nou te konnen nou gen yon richès ki pi bon, k'ap la pou tout tan.

You not only were kind to those who were in prison [because they believed in Christ], but you also accepted it joyfully when [unbelievers] took away your possessions. You accepted it because you yourselves knew very well that you have eternal possessions [in heaven] that are much better [than those that they took from you]!

35 Pa pèdi lasirans nou te genyen an. Paske, gen yon gwo rekonpans ladan li.

So, do not become discouraged [when they cause you to suffer] {[you are persecuted]}, because [if you continue to trust in God], he will greatly reward you.

36 Men, nou bezwen pasyans pou nou ka fè sa Bondye vle, pou nou ka resevwa sa l' te pwomèt la.

You must patiently continue [to trust in him] in order that, because of your doing what God wants you to do, he will give you what he has promised.

37 Paske, men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Nan yon ti tan ankò, pa gen pou lontan menm, Moun ki gen pou vini an ap vini. Li p'ap pran reta ankò.

[You must do that] since [a prophet wrote] in the Scriptures [that God said about the Messiah], In just a short time the one [I promised] would come will surely come; he will not delay coming.

38 Moun mwen fè gras la ap viv, paske li gen konfyans nan mwen. Men, si l' vire do l' tounen fè bak, li p'ap fè kè m' kontan.

But those whom I have summoned, who [act] righteously, must continually live trusting in me, because if they, in a cowardly manner, cease [to trust in me], I (will not be pleased/will be angry) with them.

39 Nou menm, nou p'ap fè tankou moun sa yo k'ap twenn dèyè, k'ap pèdi tèt yo. N'ap fè tankou moun ki gen fèm konfyans nan Bondye, moun k'ap delivre nanm yo.

But we are not ones who in a cowardly manner stop [trusting in God], with the result that God will severely punish us. Instead, we are ones who trust in him, with the result that [God] will save us [SYN] eternally.
