Ba-Ebre 8

1 Tala likambo oyo eleki motuya kati na makambo oyo tozali koloba: tozali solo na Mokonzi se moko ya Banganga-Nzambe, Mokonzi oyo avandi na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe kati na Likolo.

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

2 Kuna na Likolo, asalaka mosala na Ye kati na Esika ya bule, elingi koloba: Mongombo ya solo, oyo Ye moko Nkolo atonga, kasi bato te.

A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

3 Mokonzi nyonso ya Banganga-Nzambe atiamaka mpo na kobonza makabo mpe bambeka. Boye Yesu, Mokonzi na biso ya Banganga-Nzambe, asengeli mpe kozala na eloko ya kobonza lokola likabo to mbeka.

For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

4 Soki azalaki na mokili, alingaki kozala ata Nganga-Nzambe te, pamba te ezali kuna na Banganga-Nzambe oyo babonzaka makabo kolanda Mobeko,

For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

5 ba-oyo basalaka na Esika ya bule oyo ezali kaka elilingi mpe elili ya oyo ezali kati na Likolo. Yango wana, tango Moyize alingaki kotonga Mongombo, Nzambe akebisaki ye boye: « Tala malamu mpe sala mosala nyonso kolanda ndakisa oyo natalisi yo na likolo ya ngomba. »

Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

6 Kasi sik’oyo, Yesu azwi mosala oyo eleki motuya, pamba te azali Moyokanisi kati na Boyokani oyo eleki malamu, Boyokani oyo etongami na likolo ya bilaka ya malamu koleka.

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

7 Solo, soki boyokani ya liboso ezangaki pamela, tina ya koluka boyokani ya mibale elingaki kozala te.

For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

8 Nzokande, Nzambe apamelaki penza bato na Ye tango alobaki: « Na mikolo ekoya, nakosala Boyokani ya sika elongo na bato ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda:

For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

9 ekozala ndenge moko te na boyokani oyo nasalaki elongo na batata na bango tango nasimbaki bango na loboko mpo na kobimisa bango na Ejipito, pamba te lokola bakataki boyokani na Ngai, Ngai mpe napesaki bango mokongo, elobi Nkolo.

Not according to the covenant that 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 regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10 Kasi tala Boyokani oyo nakosala elongo na bato ya Isalaele, sima na mikolo wana, elobi Nkolo: ‹ Nakotia mibeko na Ngai kati na makanisi na bango, nakokoma yango kati na mitema na bango, nakozala Nzambe na bango, mpe bango bakozala bato na Ngai.

For 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 write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11 Moko te akoteya lisusu moninga to ndeko na ye na koloba: Yeba Nkolo! Pamba te bango nyonso bakoyeba Ngai, kobanda na mwana moke kino na mokolo,

And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

12 nakolimbisa mabe na bango mpe nakokanisa lisusu masumu na bango te. › »

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

13 Awa Nkolo abengi Boyokani oyo « Boyokani ya sika, » elingi koloba ete akomisi oyo ya liboso boyokani ya kala; nzokande eloko oyo ekomi ya kala mpe enuni ekomi pene ya kolimwa.

In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
