ヘブル人への手紙 8
1 今いふ所の要點は斯くのごとき大 祭司の我らにある事なり。彼は天にては稜威の御座の右に坐し、
Now concerning the things that have been spoken, the principal point is this: We have such a high priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 聖所および眞の幕屋に事へたまふ。この幕屋は人の設くるものにあらず、主の設けたまふ所なり。
a minister of the holy places, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 おおよそ大 祭司の立てらるるは供物と犧牲とを献げん爲なり、この故に彼もまた献ぐべき物あるべきなり。
For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore, it is necessary that this one also have something which he may offer.
4 然るに若し地に在さば、既に律法に循ひて供物を献ぐる祭司 等あるによりて祭司とはなり給はざるべし。
For if he were on earth, he could not be a priest; because there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 彼らの事ふるは、天にある物の型と影となり。モーセが幕屋を建てんとする時に『愼め、山にて汝が示されたる式に效ひて凡ての物を造れ』との御告を受けしが如し。
and these serve the copy and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: See now, says he, that you make all things according to the pattern shown you in the mount.
6 されどキリストは更に勝れる約束に基きて立てられし勝れる契約の中保となりたれば、更に勝る職を受け給へり。
But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which is established with reference to better promises.
7 かつ初の契約もし虧くる所なくば、第二の契約を求むる事なかりしならん。
For if that first covenant had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second.
8 然るに彼らを咎めて言ひ給ふ『主いひ給ふ「視よ、我イスラエルの家とユダの家とに、新しき契約を設くる日 來らん。
For, finding fault with them, he says: Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will ratify a new covenant for the house of Israel, and for the house of Judah:
9 この契約は我かれらの先祖の手を執りて、エジプトの地より導き出しし時に立てし所の如きにあらず、彼らは我が契約にとどまらず、我も彼らを顧みざりしなり」と主いひ給ふ。
not like 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: because they continued not in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
10 「されば、かの日の後に我がイスラエルの家と立つる契約は是なり」と主いひ給ふ。「われ我が律法を彼らの念に置き、そのこころに之を記さん、また我かれらの神となり、彼らは我が民とならん。
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, says the Lord; putting my laws into their understanding, I will also write them upon their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people;
11 彼らはまた各人その國人に、その兄弟に教へて、なんじ主を知れと言はざるべし。そは小より大に至るまで、皆われを知らん。
and they shall not teach, every one his citizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest;
12 我もその不義を憐み、この後また其の罪を思ひ出でざるべし』と。
because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more.
13 既に『新し』と言ひ給へば、初のものを舊しとし給へるなり、舊びて衰ふるものは、消失せんとするなり。
In saying, A new covenant, he has regarded the first as out of use. Now, that which is out of use, and has become old, is ready to disappear.
