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 of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is seated 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, and 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 gifts and sacrifices: therefore it is of necessity that this man should have somewhat also 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.
For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing there are priests that offer 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 to the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished by God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shown to 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 more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established 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 should no place have been sought for the 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, when 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 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 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 write them in their hearts: 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 neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 Nʼihi na aga m agbaghara ajọ omume ha, agaghị m echetakwa mmehie ha niile ọzọ.”
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities 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. Now that which decayeth and groweth old is ready to vanish away.
