Hiperu 9

1 Na, ko te kawenata tuatahi he tikanga karakia ano ona, me tetahi wahi tapu, he mea mo te ao nei.

Now even the first covenant had its ordinances of public worship, and its sanctuary, a material one.

2 I hanga hoki tetahi tapenakara, te tuatahi, i reira te turanga rama, me te tepu, me te taro aroaro, tona ingoa ko te Wahi Tapu:

For a tent was built, the outer one called the Holy Place, in which were the lamp and the table and the loaves of the Presence;

3 I tua atu hoki o te rua o nga arai, ko te tapenakara, e huaina ana ko te Wahi Tino Tapu.

and behind the second veil was the tent called the Holy of Holies.

4 He tahu kakara koura i reira me te aaka o te kawenata, he mea whakakikoria nga wahi katoa ki te koura, i roto ano i taua mea ko te oko koura i te mana, ko te tokotoko o Arona i pihi ra, ko nga papa o te kawenata:

In it was the golden altar of incense, and also the Ark of the Covenant covered all over with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

5 I runga atu i tenei ko nga Kerupima o te kororia, e whakamarumaru ana i te taumata o te whakamarietanga: e kore aua mea e taea te korero takitahi inaianei.

while above it, overshadowing the mercy-seat, were the cherubim of glory. But I must not speak about these in detail.

6 Heoi ka ata rite nei enei mea, ka haereere nga tohunga i nga wa katoa ki te tapenakara tuatahi, i a ratou e mahi ana i nga ritenga karakia;

Such then were the arrangements. Into the outer tent the priests enter continually in the performance of their duties;

7 Ki te tuarua ia kotahi ano te haerenga atu i te tau, o te tohunga nui anake, kihai ano i mahue nga toto: i tapaea atu hoki mona, mo nga he ano o te iwi:

but into the inner tent the high priest only goes alone, once a year, and that not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the ignorances of the people.

8 Ko ta te Wairua Tapu hoki tenei i whakaatu ai, ki te huarahi ki te wahi tino tapu i whakakitea mai, i te mea e tu ana ano te tapenakara tuatahi:

The Holy Spirit teaching by this that the way into the Holiest has not yet been disclosed while the first tent is still standing.

9 He ahua tera mo tenei wa nei, e tapaea ai nga whakahere me nga patunga tapu, kahore nei e tau hei mea i te tangata nana tera mahi kia tino tika te hinengaro;

This is a parable, for the present time, according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able, as far as conscience is concerned, to perfect the worshiper;

10 Heoi ano o era he kainga, he inumanga, he horoinga maha, he tikanga na te kikokiko, he mea whakarite mai, a taea noatia te wa whakatikatika.

since they consist only in meats and drinks and various ablutions, carnal ordinances, imposed until the time of reformation.

11 I te taenga mai ia o te Karaiti hei tohunga nui mo nga mea pai e whai mai ana i muri, he nui atu ano hoki, he tino tika te tapenakara, ehara i te mea hanga na te ringaringa, ara ehara i te mea no tenei hanganga:

But when Christ came, a High Priest of good things to come, he passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is to say, not of this material creation,

12 Ehara ano hoki i te mea no nga koati nga toto, no nga kuao kau ranei, engari nona ake nga toto i haere atu ai ia, kotahi tonu te haerenga, ki roto ki te wahi tino tapu, i te mea ka whiwhi ki tana mea hei hoki mai i a tatou mo ake tonu atu. (aiōnios g166)

not taking the blood of goats and oxen, but his own blood, and entered once for all into the Holy Place, obtaining for us an eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)

13 Ki te mea hoki ma nga toto o nga puru, o nga koati, ma nga pungarehu ranei o te kuao kau, he mea tauhiuhi ki te hunga kua poke, ka tapu ai, ka ma ai te kikokiko:

For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleansing of the flesh,

14 Tera atu to nga toto o te Karaiti, nana nei i tapae atu a ia ano, he mea kohakore, ki te Atua, i runga i ta te Wairua ora tonu; ma era e ma ai o koutou hinengaro i nga mahi mate, e mahi ai koutou ki te Atua ora. (aiōnios g166)

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through his eternal spirit offered himself free from blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works unto the service of an ever-living God! (aiōnios g166)

15 Mo konei ano ia i meinga ai hei Takawaenga mo te kawenata hou, kia mate ai ia hei utu mo nga he i raro i te kawenata tuatahi, kia riro ai i te hunga e karangatia ana te wahi tuturu mo ratou i korerotia i mua. (aiōnios g166)

And because of this he is the Mediator of a new testament, in order that, since a death has taken place to atone for offenses committed under the first testament, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

16 He ohaki hoki, ko te mea e whai tikanga ai ko te matenga o te tangata nana i whakatakoto.

For where there is a testament, there must also be brought forward in evidence the death of the testator.

17 Kia mate hoki te tangata, katahi ka whai mana te ohaki: ka u tonu ranei i te mea e ora ana te tangata nana i whakatakoto?

For a testament is only of force in case of the dead, being never valid so long as the testator lives.

18 Koia hoki te mahue ai te toto i te whakatapunga o te kawenata tuatahi.

Accordingly we find that not without blood was the first testament enacted.

19 I te mutunga hoki o ta Mohi korero i nga tikanga katoa ki te iwi katoa, hei whakarite i ta te ture, ka mau ia ki nga toto o nga kuao kau, o nga koati, ki te wai, ki te huruhuru whero, ki te hihopa, a tauhiuhia ana e ia te pukapuka, me te iwi kat oa;

For after every commandment according to the law had been spoken by Moses to the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people.

20 Me tana ki ano, Ko nga toto enei o te kawenata kua whakaakona mai nei e te Atua ki a koutou.

saying, This is the blood of that testament which God commanded in regard to you.

21 I tauhiuhia ano hoki e ia ki nga toto te tapenakara, me nga oko katoa mo te mahi minita.

Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of service he sprinkled likewise, and indeed, according to the Law,

22 I runga hoki i te ture, e tata ana ka kiia, e purea ana nga mea katoa ki te toto; ki te kahore hoki he ringihanga toto, kahore he murunga hara.

almost everything is purified by blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins.

23 Koia i tika ai kia purea ki enei nga ritenga o nga mea i te rangi; ko nga tino mea ia o te rangi ki nga patunga tapu, pai rawa atu i enei.

While, then, it was necessary that the copies of the heavenly things should be cleansed by such sacrifices, the heavenly things themselves required nobler sacrifices than these.

24 Ehara hoki i te mea kua tomo a te Karaiti ki te wahi tapu i hanga e te ringaringa, ki te tauira o te tino wahi; engari ki te tino rangi pu ano, puta ai ki te aroaro o te Atua, mo tatou:

For it was not into a Sanctuary made by hands, a mere type of the reality, that Christ entered, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the very presence of God on our behalf.

25 Ehara ano i te mea kia maha ana tapaenga i a ia, kia pera me te tohunga nui e haere nei ki roto ki te wahi tino tapu i tenei tau, i tenei tau, no etahi atu ano hoki nga toto;

Nor did he enter to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest entered into the sanctuary, year after year, with blood that was not his own;

26 Penei kia maha he mamaetanga mona, he mea timata i te hanganga ra ano o te ao; tena ko tenei kotahi tonu tona whakakitenga mai i te mutunga o nga wa, hei whakakahore i te hara, i a ia ka meinga hei patunga tapu. (aiōn g165)

(for in that case he would have needed to suffer repeatedly, ever since the foundation of the world; )but now, once for all, at the end of the ages, he has appeared to abolish sin, but the offering of himself. (aiōn g165)

27 Na kua takoto nei te tikanga mo nga tangata kia kotahi tonu te matenga, a muri iho i tenei ko te whakawa;

And since it is appointed to men once to die, and after that the judgment;

28 Waihoki ko te Karaiti, kotahi tonu tona tapaenga atu hei pikau i nga hara o te tini, a tenei ake ko te rua o ona whakakitenga mai, kahore ano he hara, hei whakaora i te hunga e tatari ana ki a ia.

so also the Christ, after being once for all offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who wait for him for salvation.
