Hebreo 8
1 Aa naho boreñe i nitaroñeñe rezay: Inao ty tali’e: Aman-tika i Mpisorom-bey zay, i nampiambesareñe an-kavanam-piambesa’ i Andindimoneñe andikerañe añey,
To sum up what I have been saying: Such is the high priest that we have, one who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God’s Majesty in heaven,
2 mitoroñe amy efetse masiñey naho ami’ty kivoho to naore’ i Talè fa tsy ondaty.
where he serves in the sanctuary, in that true tent set up by the Lord and not by man.
3 Toe songa tinendre hañenga banabana naho soroñe o mpisorom-beio; aa le tsy mahay tsy amam-pañenga ka itoy.
Every high priest is appointed for the purpose of offering gifts and sacrifices to God; it follows, therefore, that this high priest must have some offering to make.
4 Mbore, ie tan-tane atoy, tsy ho nimpisoroñe, amy te mbe eo ty mpisoroñe maro mañenga banabana ty amy Hàke,
If he were, however, still on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are already priests who offer the gifts as the Law directs.
5 mitsikombe naho manalinjo o andindìñeo; toe nihatahataeñe t’i Mosè, ie ho nañoreñe i kivohoy, ami’ty hoe: Inao, hoe re, te hene ampanahafe’o amy sare natoro azo am-bohitsey.
(These priests, it is true, are engaged in a service which is only a copy and shadow of the heavenly realities, as is shown by the directions given to Moses when he was about to construct the tent. “Look to it,” are the words, “that you make every part in accordance with the pattern shown you on the mountain.”)
6 Fe nahazo fitoroñañe fanjàka te amy zay re henaneo amy te ie ty mpañalañalam-pañina soa, mifototse am-pitamàñe soa te ama’e.
But Jesus, as we see, has obtained a ministry as far excelling theirs, as the covenant of which he is the intermediary, based, as it is, on better promises, excels the former covenant.
7 Aa naho tsy nanan-kila i fañina valoha’ey, le tsy nipaiaeñe ty faharoe.
If that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second.
8 Fa ninjè’e ami’ty hoe: Inao, ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te hilaharako fañina vao amy anjomba’ Israeley naho amy anjomba’ i Joday—
But, finding fault with the people, God says – “‘A time is coming,’ says the Lord, ‘When I will ratify a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah –
9 tsy manahake i fañina nanoeko aman-droae’ iareo amy andro nitanatanàko vaho niaolòako iareo niakatse an-tane Mitsraimeiy; amy t’ie tsy nahatañe i fañinakoy, le niambohoako, hoe t’Iehovà.
Not such a covenant as I made with their ancestors on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not abide by their covenant with me, and therefore I disregarded them,’ says the Lord.
10 Zao ka ty fañina horizako ami’ty anjomba’ Israele, naho fa añe i andro rey, hoe t’Iehovà. Hajoko an-tro’ iareo ao i Hà-koy naho ho sokireko añ’arofo’ iareo ao: le ho Andrianañahare’ iareo iraho, vaho h’ondatiko iereo.
‘This is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel after those days,’ says the Lord. ‘I will impress my laws on their minds, and will inscribe them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.
11 Le tsy songa hifañoke o mpitrao-pimoneñeo, naho tsy sindre hanao aman-drahalahi’e, ty hoe: Mahafohìna Iehovà, amy te fonga hahafohiñe ahy, ty kede pak’ an-joke’e.
There will be no need for anyone to instruct their fellow citizen, or for a person to say to their relatives “Learn to know the Lord”; for everyone will know me, from the lowest to the highest.
12 Fa ho ferenaiñako ty hatsivokara’iareo, vaho tsy ho tiahiko ka o tahi’ iareoo.
For I will be merciful to their wrongdoings, and I will no longer remember their sins.’”
13 Ie nanao ty hoe: Vaoeñe, le fa nampiantere’e i taoloy, le fa himosaoñe o raha mihamodo naho miha-antetseo.
By speaking of a new covenant, God at once renders the former covenant obsolete; and whatever becomes obsolete and loses its force is virtually annulled.
