Ibraniyawa 8
1 Abin da muke magana a nan shi ne, muna da irin wannan babban firist, wanda ya zauna a hannun dama na kursiyin Maɗaukaki a sama,
Now in connexion with what we have been saying the chief point is that we have a High Priest who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God's Majesty in the heavens,
2 wanda yake hidima a cikin wuri mai tsarki, tabanakul na gaskiya wanda Ubangiji ne ya kafa, ba mutum ba.
and ministers in the Holy place and in the true tabernacle which not man, but the Lord pitched.
3 Da yake dole kowane babban firist da aka naɗa yă miƙa baye-baye da hadayu, haka ma wannan ya bukaci yă kasance da abin da zai miƙa.
Every High Priest, however, is appointed to offer both bloodless gifts and sacrifices. Therefore this High Priest also must have some offering to present.
4 Da a ce yana a duniya ne, da bai zama firist ba, domin a nan akwai mutanen da doka ta naɗa don su miƙa baye-baye.
If then He were still on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since here there are already those who present the offerings in obedience to the Law,
5 Suna hidima a cikin tsattsarkan wuri wanda yake hoto da kuma siffar abin da yake cikin sama. Shi ya sa aka gargaɗi Musa sa’ad da yana dab da gina tabanakul cewa, “Ka lura fa, ka yi kome daidai bisa ga zānen da aka nuna maka a kan dutsen.”
and serve a copy and type of the heavenly things, just as Moses was divinely instructed when about to build the tabernacle. For God said, "See that you make everything in imitation of the pattern shown you on the mountain."
6 Amma hidimar da Yesu ya karɓa tana da fifiko a kan tasu, kamar yadda alkawarin da shi ne yake matsakanci ya fi na dā fifiko nesa, an kuma kafa shi a kan alkawura mafi kyau.
But, as a matter of fact, the ministry which Christ has obtained is all the nobler a ministry, in that He is at the same time the negotiator of a sublimer covenant, based upon sublimer promises.
7 Gama da a ce alkawari na fari ba shi da wani laifi, da ba sai an sāke neman wani ba.
For if that first Covenant had been free from imperfection, there would have been no attempt to introduce another.
8 Amma Allah ya sami mutane da laifi ya ce, “Ina gaya muku lokaci yana zuwa, sa’ad da zan yi sabon alkawari da gidan Isra’ila da kuma gidan Yahuda.
For, being dissatisfied with His people, God says, "'There are days coming,' says the Lord, 'When I will establish with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new Covenant--
9 Ba zai zama kamar irin alkawarin da na yi da kakanni-kakanninsu sa’ad da na kama hannunsu don in fitar da su daga Masar ba, domin ba su yi aminci da alkawarina ba, sai na juya musu baya, in ji Ubangiji.
a Covenant unlike the one which I made with their forefathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out from the land of Egypt; for they would not remain faithful to that.' 'So I turned from them,' says the Lord.
10 Wannan shi ne alkawarin da zan yi da gidan Isra’ila, bayan lokacin nan, in ji Ubangiji. Zan sa dokokina a cikin zukatansu, in kuma rubuta su a kan zukatansu. Zan zama Allahnsu, su kuwa za su zama mutanena.
'But this is the Covenant that I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days,' says the Lord: I will put My laws into their minds and will write them upon their hearts. And I will indeed be their God and they shall be My People.
11 Mutum ba zai ƙara koya wa maƙwabcinsa ba, balle mutum yă ce wa ɗan’uwansa, ‘Ka san Ubangiji,’ domin dukansu za su san ni, daga ƙaraminsu zuwa babba.
And there shall be no need for them to teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother, saying, Know the Lord. For all will know Me from the least of them to the greatest;
12 Gama zan gafarta muguntarsu ba zan kuma ƙara tuna da zunubansu ba.”
Because I will be merciful to their wrongdoings, and their sins I will remember no longer.'"
13 Ta wurin kira wannan alkawari “sabo,” ya mai da na farin tsoho ke nan; abin da yake tsoho yana kuma daɗa tsufa, zai shuɗe nan ba da daɗewa ba.
By using the words, "a new Covenant," He has made the first one obsolete; but whatever is decaying and showing signs of old age is not far from disappearing altogether.
