Hebera 8
1 A O na mea a makou i olelo ae nei, eia ka nui; pela ke ano o ko kakou kahuna nui, ka mea i hoonohoia ma ka lima akau o ka nohoalii o ka Moi ma ka lani;
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 He lawehaua no kahi hoano, no ka halelewa oiaio, na ka Haku i kukulu, aole na ke kanaka.
a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, and not man.
3 No ka mea, ua hookaawaleia na kahuna nui e kaumaha aku ai i na alana a me na mohai: nolaila hoi e pono e loaa ia ia nei kekahi meae kaumaha aku ai.
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 Aka, ina ma ka honua ia, ina aole he kahuna ia; no ka mea, eia no ka poe kahuna e kaumaha ana i na alana mamuli o ke kanawai,
Now 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 Ka poe i hana ma ke kumu hoohalike, a ma ke aka o ko ka lani, no ka mea, o Mose i ke kokoke ana o kona kukulu ana i ka halelewa, ua aoia mai ia e ke Akua, peneia; E nana oe, wahi ana, e hana oe i na mea a pau mamuli o ke kumuhoohalike i hoikeia ia oe ma ka mauna.
who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Mushe was warned 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 Aka, ano, ua loaa ia ia ka oihana maikai ae, e like me ka oi ana aku o ka maikai o ka berita ana i uwao ai, ka mea i hoopaaia ma na olelo hoopomaikai maikai ae.
But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as Law.
7 A ina i kina ole kela berita mua, ina aole i imi hou ia kahi kaawale no ka lua:
For if the first had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
8 Aka, i ka loaa ana o ke kina, ua olelo mai oia ia lakou, Eia hoi, wahi a Iehova, e hiki mai ana no na la e hana hou aku ai au i berita hou me ka ohana Iseraela, a me ka ohana Iuda;
For finding fault with them, he said, "Look, the days are coming," says the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israyel and with the house of Yehudah;
9 Aole hoi e like me ka berita a'u i hana aku ai me ko lakou mau makua, i ka la i lalau aku ai au i ko lakou lima e alakai mai ia lakou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai; no ka mea, aole lakou i noho paa ma ko'u berita, a ua haalele au ia lakou, wahi a Iehova.
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 did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them," says the Lord.
10 Aka, eia ka berita a'u e hana aku ai me ka ohana Iseraela, mahope iho o ua mau la la, wahi a Iehova; E pai au i ko'u mau kanawai ma ko lakou manao, a e kakau iho ia mau mea ma ko lakou naau; a e lilo au i Akua no lakou, a e lilo mai lakou i poe kanaka no'u.
"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israyel. 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 Aole lakou e ao aku, kela kanaka i kona hoanoho, a keia kanaka i kona hoahanau, me ka olelo ana aku, E ike i ka Haku; no ka mea, e pau auanei lakou i ka ike ia'u mai ka mea liilii a hiki i ka mea nui o lakou.
They will not 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 of them.
12 No ka mea, e ahonui aku no au i ko lakou mau hewa, aole au e hoomanao hou aku i ko lakou mau kina a me ko lakou mau hala.
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins no more."
13 I kana olelo ana, He berita hou, ua hoolilo oia i ka mea mua i lualua; a o ka mea lualua, e elemakule ana hoi, ua kokoke no ia e nalo aku.
In that he says, "new," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
