Ebre 8
1 Koulye a, pwen prensipal nan sa ki te di a se sa: “Nou gen yon si tèlman wo prèt ki pran plas Li adwat a twòn Majeste a nan syèl yo.”
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 the Majesty in the heavens;
2 Pou Li aji kòm sèvitè nan sanktyè a, ak nan vrè tabènak la ke Senyè a, olye lòm te fè leve.
A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 Paske chak wo prèt nonmen pou ofri ni don ni sakrifis. Konsa li nesesè pou wo prèt sila a gen yon bagay pou l ofri tou.
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore [it is] of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 Alò, si Li te sou latè, Li pa t ap yon prèt menm, paske pou sa a, gen sila yo ki ofri don yo selon Lalwa,
For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 ki sèvi kòm yon kopi ak lonbraj a bagay selès yo, jis jan ke Moïse te avèti pa Bondye lè Li te prèt pou leve tabènak la, paske “Veye” Li te di: “pou ou fè tout bagay selon modèl ki te montre a ou menm sou mòn nan.”
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, [that] thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
6 Men koulye a, Li vin gen yon èv ki pi ekselan, paske Li se osi medyatè a yon pi bon akò, ki te etabli sou pi bon pwomès yo.
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 Paske si premye akò sa a te san defo, pa t ap gen yon rezon pou yon dezyèm.
For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 Paske akoz Li twouve fot nan yo, Li di: “Gade byen, jou yo ap vini, di Senyè a, lè Mwen va fè yon akò tounèf avèk kay Israël la e avèk kay Juda a;
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Pa tankou akò ke Mwen te fè avèk zansèt pa yo nan jou ke M te pran yo nan men pou mennen yo sòti an Égypte la; paske yo pa t kontinye nan akò Mwen an e Mwen pa t okipe yo, di Senyè a.
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 Paske sa se akò ke Mwen va fè avèk kay Israël la apre jou sa yo, di Senyè a: Mwen va mete Lalwa Mwen nan panse yo, e Mwen va ekri yo nan kè yo. Mwen va Bondye yo, e yo va pèp Mwen.
For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 Epi yo p ap enstwi chak sitwayen parèy a yo ak chak frè a yo, pou di: ‘Vin konnen Bondye’, paske tout moun ap deja konnen Mwen, soti nan pi piti jiska pi gran nan yo.
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.
12 Paske Mwen va gen mizerikòd pou linikite pa yo e Mwen p ap sonje peche yo ankò.
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 Lè L te di: “Yon akò tounèf”, Li fè premye a epwize nèt. Men, nenpòt sa ki vin epwize a, e ki vin vye, prè pou vin disparèt.
In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.
