Hebræos 9

1 habuit quidem et prius iustificationes culturae et sanctum saeculare

Now indeed even the first had ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.

2 tabernaculum enim factum est primum in quo inerant candelabra et mensa et propositio panum quae dicitur sancta

For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lampstand, the table, and the show bread; which is called the Holy Place.

3 post velamentum autem secundum tabernaculum quod dicitur sancta sanctorum

After the second curtain was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

4 aureum habens turibulum et arcam testamenti circumtectam ex omni parte auro in qua urna aurea habens manna et virga Aaron quae fronduerat et tabulae testamenti

having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a gold jar containing the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

5 superque eam cherubin gloriae obumbrantia propitiatorium de quibus non est modo dicendum per singula

and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we cannot speak now in detail.

6 his vero ita conpositis in priori quidem tabernaculo semper introibant sacerdotes sacrificiorum officia consummantes

Now these things having been thus prepared, the cohanim go in continually into the first tabernacle, performing their duties.

7 in secundo autem semel in anno solus pontifex non sine sanguine quem offert pro sua et populi ignorantia

But into the second the cohan gadol alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

8 hoc significante Spiritu Sancto nondum propalatam esse sanctorum viam adhuc priore tabernaculo habente statum

The Ruach ha-Kodesh is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place was not yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing;

9 quae parabola est temporis instantis iuxta quam munera et hostiae offeruntur quae non possunt iuxta conscientiam perfectum facere servientem

which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshipper perfect;

10 solummodo in cibis et in potibus et variis baptismis et iustitiis carnis usque ad tempus correctionis inpositis

but deal only with foods and drinks and various washings; they are regulations for the flesh imposed until the time of setting things right.

11 Christus autem adsistens pontifex futurorum bonorum per amplius et perfectius tabernaculum non manufactum id est non huius creationis

But the Messiah having come as a cohen hagadol of the good things that have come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

12 neque per sanguinem hircorum et vitulorum sed per proprium sanguinem introivit semel in sancta aeterna redemptione inventa (aiōnios g166)

nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained everlasting redemption. (aiōnios g166)

13 si enim sanguis hircorum et taurorum et cinis vitulae aspersus inquinatos sanctificat ad emundationem carnis

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh:

14 quanto magis sanguis Christi qui per Spiritum Sanctum semet ipsum obtulit inmaculatum Deo emundabit conscientiam vestram ab operibus mortuis ad serviendum Deo viventi (aiōnios g166)

how much more will the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Ruach offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)

15 et ideo novi testamenti mediator est ut morte intercedente in redemptionem earum praevaricationum quae erant sub priore testamento repromissionem accipiant qui vocati sunt aeternae hereditatis (aiōnios g166)

For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

16 ubi enim testamentum mors necesse est intercedat testatoris

Now where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be proven.

17 testamentum enim in mortuis confirmatum est alioquin nondum valet dum vivit qui testatus est

For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.

18 unde ne primum quidem sine sanguine dedicatum est

Therefore even the first has not been dedicated without blood.

19 lecto enim omni mandato legis a Mose universo populo accipiens sanguinem vitulorum et hircorum cum aqua et lana coccinea et hysopo ipsum quoque librum et omnem populum aspersit

For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people,

20 dicens hic sanguis testamenti quod mandavit ad vos Deus

saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."

21 etiam tabernaculum et omnia vasa ministerii sanguine similiter aspersit

Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in like manner with the blood.

22 et omnia paene in sanguine mundantur secundum legem et sine sanguinis fusione non fit remissio

According to the Law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

23 necesse est ergo exemplaria quidem caelestium his mundari ipsa autem caelestia melioribus hostiis quam istis

It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24 non enim in manufactis sanctis Iesus introiit exemplaria verorum sed in ipsum caelum ut appareat nunc vultui Dei pro nobis

For Messiah hasn't entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

25 neque ut saepe offerat semet ipsum quemadmodum pontifex intrat in sancta per singulos annos in sanguine alieno

nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the cohen hagadol enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,

26 alioquin oportebat eum frequenter pati ab origine mundi nunc autem semel in consummatione saeculorum ad destitutionem peccati per hostiam suam apparuit (aiōn g165)

or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)

27 et quemadmodum statutum est hominibus semel mori post hoc autem iudicium

Inasmuch as it is appointed for people to die once, and after this, judgment,

28 sic et Christus semel oblatus ad multorum exhaurienda peccata secundo sine peccato apparebit expectantibus se in salutem

so Messiah also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.
