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 the sum of the things that have been said is this, that we have such an high-priest, who is sat down at 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 holy things, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath raised, 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; wherefore it was necessary that He also should have something 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 could not be a priest, seeing there are priests already 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 worship under the representation and shadow of heavenly things; as Moses was ordered by God, when he was about to finish the tabernacle. For see, saith He, that thou make all according to the model shewn 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 He hath obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which is established upon better promises.
7 Ọ bụrụ na ọgbụgba ndụ ochie ahụ zuruoke, ọ garaghị aba uru ka achọwa ọgbụgba ndụ ọzọ.
For if the first covenant had been unexceptionable, there had been no room 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.
as we see there was, for after complaining of them, He adds, "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 which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them 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.
But 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 I will inscribe them on 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 one his neighbour, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the lest even to the greatest of them.
12 Nʼihi na aga m agbaghara ajọ omume ha, agaghị m echetakwa mmehie ha niile ọzọ.”
For I will forgive their crimes, and their sins and their iniquities I will 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.
Now by saying, a new covenant, He hath antiquated the first: and what is antiquated, and groweth old, is near it's exit.
