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 in the things which we are saying, the main point is this: we have such a high priest, who sat down 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 servant of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched, 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 appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something 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 would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the 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 a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, “See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.”
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 he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.
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 no place would have been sought for a 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 said, “Behold, the days are coming”, says the Lord, “that 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 that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says 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,” says the Lord: “I will put my laws into their mind; I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my 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.
They will not teach every man his fellow citizen and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from their least to their 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. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds 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 says, “A new covenant”, he has made the first obsolete. But that which is becoming obsolete and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
