Ndị Hibru 8
1 Isi okwu dị nʼihe niile anyị na-ekwu bụ nke a, na anyị nwere onyeisi nchụaja dị otu a, bụ onye na-anọdụ ala nʼaka nri nke ocheeze onye ahụ kachasị ihe niile elu nʼeluigwe.
Now in the things which we are saying the chief 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 Onye na-eje ozi nʼebe nsọ ahụ, bụ ezi ụlọ ikwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị ji aka ya wuo, ọ bụghị mmadụ wuru ya.
a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
3 A họpụtara onyeisi nchụaja ọbụla ka ọ na-achụ aja na-enyekwa onyinye. Nʼihi nke a, o kwesikwara ka ọ nwee ihe ọ ga-eji na-achụ aja.
For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this [high priest] also have somewhat to offer.
4 A sịkwarị na ọ nọ nʼụwa, o garaghị a bụ onye nchụaja nʼihi na e nwere ndị nchụaja na-achụ aja dị ka usoro iwu si dị.
Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are those who offer the gifts according to the law;
5 Ha na-eje ozi nʼebe nsọ ahụ nke bụ oyiyi na onyinyo banyere ihe nke dị nʼeluigwe. Ọ bụ nke a mere e ji dọọ Mosis aka na ntị mgbe ọ na-akwado iwu ụlọ ikwu ahụ, “Lezie anya hụ na i mere ihe niile nʼusoro dị ka e si gosiri gị nʼelu ugwu.”
who serve [that which is] a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned [of God] when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was shewed thee in the mount.
6 Ma otu ọ dị, ọ natara ọrụ ije ozi karịrị nke ha, dị ka onye ogbugbo nke ọgbụgba ndụ dị elu karịa nke ochie, ebe ọgbụgba ndụ nke ọhụrụ a o mere ka ọ dịrị nʼetiti ya na mmadụ dabeere na nkwa dị mma karịa.
But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.
7 Ọ bụrụ na ọgbụgba ndụ ochie ahụ zuruoke, ọ garaghị aba uru ka achọwa ọgbụgba ndụ ọzọ.
For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second.
8 Ma Chineke chọpụtara ezughị oke ha mgbe ọ sịrị, “Lee, oge na-abịa, ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, mgbe m ga-eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ ọhụrụ dịrị nʼetiti mụ na ụlọ Izrel, nakwa ụlọ Juda.
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
9 Ọ bụghị ụdị ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na nna nna ha gbara, mgbe m jidere ha nʼaka site nʼala Ijipt dupụta ha, nʼihi na ha anọgideghị bụrụ ndị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi idebe ọgbụgba ndụ m. Nʼihi ya, echepụrụ ihu m nʼebe ha nọ, ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 Ma nke a bụ ọgbụgba ndụ m ga-eme ka ọ dịrị nʼetiti mụ onwe m na ụlọ Izrel, mgbe oge ndị ahụ gasịrị, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. Aga m etinye iwu m nʼime uche ha, dekwasị ya nʼobi ha. Aga m abụ Chineke ha, ha onwe ha ga-abụkwa ndị m.
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 on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people:
11 Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼetiti ha ga-akụziri onye agbataobi ya ihe, maọbụ otu onye asị ibe ya, ‘Mara Onyenwe anyị,’ nʼihi na ha niile ga-ama onye m bụ, site nʼonye dịkarịsịrị nta ruo nʼonye dịkarịsịrị ukwuu.
And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.
12 Nʼihi na aga m agbaghara ajọ omume ha, agaghị m echetakwa mmehie ha niile ọzọ.”
For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.
13 Mgbe o kwuru okwu banyere ọgbụgba ndụ ọhụrụ, ọ pụtara na nke ochie ahụ abụrụla ihe gabigara agabiga. Ihe dị ochie nke gabigara ga-emesịa ghara ịdịkwa.
In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.
