ヘブル人への手紙 9
1 初の契約には禮拜の定と世に屬する聖所とありき。
Now that first covenant did indeed have regulations for divine service and the earthly sanctuary.
2 設けられたる幕屋あり、前なるを聖所と稱へ、その中に燈臺と案と供のパンとあり。
Yes, a tabernacle was set up: the first part, which is called the Holy Place, in which were the lamp stand, the table and the showbread;
3 また第二の幕の後に至 聖所と稱ふる幕屋あり。
and behind the second curtain an area called the Holy of Holies,
4 その中に金の香壇と金にて徧く覆ひたる契約の櫃とあり、この中にマナを納れたる金の壺と芽したるアロンの杖と契約の石碑とあり、
having a golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold—in it were a golden jar holding the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant;
5 櫃の上に榮光のケルビムありて贖罪所を覆ふ。これらの物に就きては、今 一々 言ふこと能はず、
while above it were cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat (this is not the place to go into detail about them).
6 此 等のもの斯く備りたれば、祭司たちは常に前なる幕屋に入りて禮拜をおこなふ。
Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priests continually went into the first part, performing the divine services,
7 されど奧なる幕屋には、大 祭司のみ年に一度おのれと民との過失のために献ぐる血を携へて入るなり。
but into the second one only the high priest could go, once a year and only with blood, which he offered for himself and for the people's sins of ignorance;
8 之によりて聖 靈は前なる幕屋のなほ存するあひだ、至 聖所に入る道の未だ顯れざるを示し給ふ。
the Holy Spirit was making clear that the way into the Most Holy Place was not yet open to the public while the first tabernacle was still in existence.
9 この幕屋はその時のために設けられたる比喩なり、之に循ひて献げたる供物と犧牲とは、禮拜をなす者の良心を全うすること能はざりき。
It was a figure during the time then present, a time when both gifts and sacrifices were being offered that were incapable of clearing the conscience of the worshiper—
10 此 等はただ食物・飮物さまざまの濯事などに係り、肉に屬する定にして、改革の時まで負せられたるのみ。
they were only about foods and drinks and various ceremonial washings and physical regulations, things imposed until the time of restructuring.
11 然れどキリストは來らんとする善き事の大 祭司として來り、手にて造らぬ此の世に屬せぬ更に大なる全き幕屋を經て、
But Christ entered once for all into the real Holy Places, having obtained eternal redemption—He had come as High Priest of the good things that are about to be, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
and with His own blood, not that of goats and calves. (aiōnios g166)
13 もし山羊および牡牛の血、牝牛の灰などを穢れし者にそそぎて其の肉體を潔むることを得ば、
For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who had been ceremonially defiled, restored ceremonial purity to the body,
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the Holy Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)
For this reason He is mediator of a new covenant, so that those who have been called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant. (aiōnios g166)
16 それ遺言は必ず遺言 者の死を要す。
Now where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be established;
17 遺言は遺言 者 死にてのち始めて效あり、遺言 者の生くる間は效なきなり。
because a will is in force after men are dead, since it never takes effect while the one who made it lives.
18 この故に初の契約も血なくして立てしにあらず。
Therefore, not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood;
19 モーセ律法に循ひて諸般の誡命をすべての民に告げてのち、犢と山羊との血また水と緋色の毛とヒソプとをとりて、書および凡ての民にそそぎて言ふ、
because when every commandment of the Law had been proclaimed by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people,
20 『これ神の汝らに命じたまふ契約の血なり』と。
saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has decreed to you.”
21 また同じく幕屋と祭のすべての器とに血をそそげり。
Then he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the divine service with the blood in the same way.
22 おほよそ律法によれば、萬のもの血をもて潔めらる。もし血を流すことなくば、赦さるることなし。
In fact, according to the Law nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
23 この故に天に在るものに象りたる物は此 等にて潔められ、天にある物は此 等に勝りたる犧牲をもて潔めらるべきなり。
So then, it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with such, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than those.
24 キリストは眞のものに象れる、手にて造りたる聖所に入らず、眞の天に入りて今より我等のために神の前にあらはれ給ふ。
For Christ did not enter into Holy Places made by hands, mere copies of the true ones, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in God's presence on our behalf;
25 これ大 祭司が年ごとに他の物の血をもて聖所に入るごとく、屡次おのれを献ぐる爲にあらず。
but not in order to offer Himself repeatedly, like the high priest who entered the Most Holy Place year by year with another's blood
—otherwise He would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world; but now, once for all at the end of the ages, He has been revealed to nullify sin by the sacrifice of Himself. (aiōn g165)
27 一たび死ぬることと死にてのち審判を受くることとの人に定りたる如く、
Also, inasmuch as men are destined to die but once, after which the judgment,
28 キリストも亦おほくの人の罪を負はんが爲に一たび献げられ、復 罪を負ふことなく、己を待 望む者に再び現れて救を得させ給ふべし。
so the Christ also, having been offered once for all to bear the sins of many—He will appear a second time to those who are eagerly waiting for Him, apart from sin, into salvation.
