< Ndị Hibru 9 >
1 Ọgbụgba ndụ nke mbụ nwere usoro ofufe na ebe nsọ nke ụwa nke a e jiri aka wuo.
THEN also the first tabernacle had indeed regulations for the divine service, and a sanctuary furnished.
2 E guzobere ụlọ ikwu. Nʼọnụụlọ nke mbụ nʼụlọ ikwu ahụ, e nwere ihe ịdọba iheọkụ, na tebul, na achịcha e doro nsọ. Aha ọnụụlọ nke mbụ a bụ Ebe Nsọ.
For the tabernacle was prepared; the first part, in which was both the candlestick, and the table, and the shew-bread, which is called the holy.
3 Nʼazụ akwa mgbochi nke abụọ ka e nwere ọnụụlọ a na-akpọ Ebe Kachasị Nsọ,
But behind the second vail was the tabernacle, called the holy of holies:
4 nke nwere ebe ịchụ aja mgbaisiọma e ji ọlaedo wuo, na igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ nke e jiri ọlaedo machie ahụ ya niile. Ihe dị nʼime ite ahụ bụ mánà na mkpanaka Erọn nke ahụ puputara ahịhịa, ya na mbadamba nkume e dekwasịrị iwu ọgbụgba ndụ.
having the golden censer, and the coffer of the covenant, overlaid with gold within and without, in which were the golden urn containing the manna, and Aaron’s rod which had budded, and the stone tables of the covenant;
5 Ihe dị nʼelu igbe a bụ cherubim nke ebube ya, na-ekpuchite oche amara ahụ. Ma anyị enweghị ike ịkọwacha ihe niile ndị a nʼozuzu oke ugbu a.
and above, over it the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the propitiatory.
6 Mgbe e doro ihe niile ndị a nʼusoro, onye nchụaja na-abata mgbe ọbụla nʼime ọnụụlọ nke mbụ nke ụlọ ikwu a. Nʼebe a ka ọ na-arụ ọrụ o ketara ịrụ.
Now when these things were thus disposed, the priests entered continually into the first tabernacle indeed, performing the divine services:
7 Ma ọ bụ naanị onyeisi nchụaja na-abanye nʼime ọnụụlọ nsọ nke abụọ, naanị otu ugboro nʼafọ. Ọ na-ejikwa ọbara na-aba nʼebe ahụ, iji chụọ aja maka onwe ya na nʼihi mmehie ndị mmadụ mere na-amaghị ama.
but into the second once in every year entered the high-priest alone, not without blood, which he offered for his own inadvertencies, and for those of the people:
8 Site na nke a, Mmụọ Nsọ na-egosi na ụzọ e si abanye nʼEbe Kachasị Nsọ ahụ bụ ihe na a ka apụtabeghị ihe, ebe ọ bụ na ụlọ ikwu nke mbụ ahụ ka na-eguzo.
the Holy Ghost thus signifying, that the way into the holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the first tabernacle held its station;
9 Nke a bụ ihe ilu banyere oge ugbu a. Site na nhazi nke a, onyinye na aja niile a na-achụ enweghị ike ime ka akọnuche onye na-efe ofufe zuo oke.
which figurative representation continues unto the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, with respect to conscience, make him perfect who performs the services,
10 Kama ha bụ naanị usoro iwu metụtara ihe oriri na ihe ọṅụṅụ na ụdị baptizim dị iche iche nke anụ ahụ, bụ nke e nyere ka a na-eme ya ruo mgbe a ga-edozigharị ihe niile.
as they consist only of meats, and drinks, and different ablutions, and corporal services, until the appointed time of perfect reformation.
11 Mgbe Kraịst bịara dị ka onyeisi nchụaja nke ezi ihe ahụ dị ugbu a, site nʼụlọ ikwu dị ukwuu zuruoke nke a na-ejighị aka mee, nke na-esoghị nʼihe e kere eke,
But Christ becoming the high-priest of future good things, through a better and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation;
12 o jighị ọbara ụmụ ewu na nke ụmụ ehi banye nʼebe ahụ, kama o ji ọbara nke ya onwe ya banye nʼEbe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ naanị otu mgbe, jiri ya wetara anyị niile mgbapụta ebighị ebi. (aiōnios )
nor by the blood of goats and of calves, but by his own blood, he entered once for all into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption. (aiōnios )
13 Ma ọ bụrụ na ọbara ewu na nke oke ehi dị iche iche, ya na ntụ nwa agbọghọ ehi, nke e fekwasịrị ndị rụrụ arụ, pụrụ ido ha nsọ, meekwa ka ha dị ọcha nʼelu ahụ.
For if the blood of bulls, and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the defiled sanctifieth to corporal purification,
14 Ọbara Kraịst onye sitere na Mmụọ dị ebighị ebi were onwe ya chụọrọ Chineke aja nʼenweghị ntụpọ ọbụla, ọ ga-esi aṅaa ghara ịsachapụ omume ruru unyi nke akọnuche anyị, ka anyị nwee ike ife Chineke dị ndụ. (aiōnios )
how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, by the eternal Spirit, offered up himself in sacrifice without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, that we may perform divine service to the living God? (aiōnios )
15 Nʼihi nke a, ọ bụ onye ogbugbo nke ọgbụgba ndụ ọhụrụ, ka ndị a kpọrọ site na ya nata ihe nketa ebighị ebi ahụ bụ nke e kwere ha na nkwa. A pụrụ ime nke a nʼihi ọ nwụọla ọnwụ gbapụta ụmụ mmadụ site nʼikpe ọmụma nke mmehie ha mere nʼokpuru ọgbụgba ndụ nke mbụ ahụ. (aiōnios )
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that, death being suffered for the redemption of transgressions committed against the first testament, they who are called might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. (aiōnios )
16 Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ ekee ekpe mgbe ọ nọ ndụ, a na-ebu ụzọ achọpụta ma onye kere ekpe ahụ ọ nwụọla.
For where a testament is, of necessity the death of the testator is implied.
17 Ekpe na-amalite ịdị ire mgbe onye kere ekpe ahụ nwụrụ, nʼihi na ihe mmadụ kere nʼekpe anaghị adị ire mgbe onye kere ya ka dị ndụ.
For a testament is valid when men are dead; for else it is of no efficacy whilst the testator is alive.
18 Ọ bụ nke a mere ọ bụladị ọgbụgba ndụ ochie ahụ jiri bụrụ ihe na-adịghị ire ruokwa mgbe ọbara batara na ya.
Wherefore also that first testament was not consecrated without blood.
19 Mgbe Mosis kwupụtachara ndị mmadụ iwu ahụ, o weere ọbara ụmụ ehi na ewu, ya na mmiri, ogbo uhie na hisọp fesaa nʼakwụkwọ iwu ahụ nakwa nʼelu mmadụ niile.
For when every command according to the law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, taking the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
20 Na-ekwu, “Nke a bụ ọbara ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ nke Chineke nyere unu iwu.”
saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
21 Nʼotu aka ahụ, o fesakwara ọbara ahụ nʼelu ụlọ ikwu na nʼelu ihe niile dị nʼụlọ ikwu, bụ ihe niile e ji efe ofufe.
And the tabernacle also, and all the vessels employed in the divine service, he in like manner sprinkled with blood.
22 Nʼikwu eziokwu, dịka iwu si dị, ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla nke a na-adịghị eji ọbara edo ọcha. Ọ bụrụ na a wụsịghị ọbara, mgbaghara mmehie adịghị.
And almost all things are purified by blood according to the law, and without effusion of blood there is no remission of sin.
23 O kwesiri ka e si otu a mee ka ihe ndị a yiri ihe ndị dị nʼeluigwe dị ọcha, ma ihe ndị dị nʼeluigwe nʼonwe ha kwesiri ka e nye ha aja dị mma karịa.
There was a necessity therefore that the representations of the things in heaven should be purified by these; but the celestial things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 Nʼihi na ọ bụghị nʼebe nsọ nke mmadụ jiri aka wuo, nke yiri nke dị nʼeluigwe, ka Kraịst banyere, kama ọ banyere nʼime eluigwe nʼonwe ya, bụ ebe ọ na-anọchite anya anyị ugbu a nʼihu Chineke.
For Christ is not entered into the holies made with hands, the antitypes of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the presence of God for us:
25 Ọ banyeghị na ya ka o were onwe ya chụọ aja ọtụtụ ugboro, dị ka onyeisi nchụaja na-eji ọbara na-abụghị nke ya na-abanye nʼEbe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ kwa afọ.
and not that he should often offer up himself in sacrifice, as the high-priest enters every year into the holies with blood not his own,
26 Ọ bụrụ na o si otu a dịrị, ọ gaara abụ onye na-ahụ ahụhụ mgbe kemgbe e kere ụwa. Ma, dị ka o si dị, ọ bịara naanị otu ugboro nʼọgwụgwụ oge ndị a, iwezuga mmehie site nʼiji onwe ya chụọ aja. (aiōn )
(for in that case he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world: ) but now once for all at the consummation of the ages hath he been manifested for the abolishing sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn )
27 Dị ka ọ bụ ihe a kwadooro mmadụ ọbụla ịnwụ naanị otu ugboro, ma e mesịa ikpe esochie,
And forasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment,
28 otu a ka e si chụọ Kraịst dị ka aja naanị otu ugboro iwepụ mmehie ọtụtụ mmadụ. Ọ ga-abịaghachi nke ugboro abụọ, ma ọ bụghị nʼihi ibu mmehie, kama ọ bụ nʼihi iweta nzọpụta nye ndị ahụ niile na-eche ọbịbịa ya.
so Christ having been once offered in sacrifice to bear the sins of men, will appear the second time without sin, to those who expect him, for their salvation.
