< हिब्रू 9 >
1 अब पहिलेको करारमा आराधनाका निम्ति नियमहरू र सांसारिक बासस्थान थिए ।
[To continue]: In the first [covenant, God] regulated how people [should perform] rituals, and [he told them to make] [MTY] a sanctuary.
2 किनकि एउटा बासस्थान तयार गरिएको थियो जसको पहिलो कोठाभित्र सामदान, टेबुल, र उपस्थितिको रोटी थिए, त्यसलाई पवित्रस्थान भनिन्थ्यो ।
[That sanctuary] was a tent that [the Israelites] set up. In its outer room there was the lampstand and the table [on which they put] the bread that [the priests] presented [to God. That room] was called ‘the holy place’.
3 पर्दाको पछाडितिर अर्को दोस्रो कोठा थियो, जसलाई महा-पवित्रस्थान भनिन्थ्यो ।
Behind the curtain inside [the holy place] there was [another] room. That was called ‘the very holy place’.
4 यसमा धूपको निम्ति एउटा सुनको वेदी थियो । यसमा करारको सन्दुक पनि थियो, जुन पूर्ण रूपले सुनले मोहोरिएको थियो । यसको भित्रपट्टि रहेको सुनको भाँडोमा मन्न राखिएको भाँडो, कोपिला लागेको हारूनको लौरो र करारका शिलालेखहरू थिए ।
It had an altar, [made from] gold, [for burning] incense. [It also had the chest which they called] the chest of the covenant. All its sides were covered with gold. In it was the golden pot which contained [pieces of the food they called] manna. [That was the food with which God miraculously fed the people before they entered the promised land]. In the chest there was also Aaron’s walking stick that budded [to prove that he was God’s true priest]. In the chest were also the stone tablets [on which God had written] the Ten Commandments.
5 करारको सन्दुकको माथि ईश्वरीय महिमाका करूबहरूले प्रायश्चित्तको ढकनीलाई ढाकेका थिए, जसको बारेमा हामी अहिले पूर्ण रूपले वर्णन गर्न सक्दैनौँ ।
On top of [the chest] were [figures of] winged creatures [that symbolized God’s] glory. Their [wings] overshadowed the chest’s lid where [the high priest sprinkled the blood] (to [atone for/to forgive]) [those who had sinned. I] do not [need] to write about these things in detail now.
6 यी थोकहरूलाई तयार गरिसकेपछि पुजारीहरू नियमित रूपमा बासस्थानको बाहिरी कोठामा सधैँ आफ्ना सेवाको काम गर्न प्रवेश गर्दथे ।
After all those things were prepared {After they had prepared all those things like that} [in the two rooms of the tent], the [Jewish] priests habitually went into the outer [room of the] tent to perform their rituals.
7 तर प्रधान पुजारी मात्रै हरेक वर्षको एक पल्ट दोश्रो कोठामा प्रवेश गर्दथे । उनले रगत लिएर आफ्नै निम्ति र मानिसहरूले अजानमा गरेका अपराधहरूका निम्ति बलि चढाउँछन् ।
But into the inner room, only the Supreme Priest [went], once a year. He always took [LIT] the blood [of animals that they had slaughtered]. He offered them [to God] for his own [sins] and for the sins that other people had committed. They included sins that they did not realize [were sinful].
8 पवित्र आत्माले देखाउनुभयो, कि पहिलो पवित्रस्थान रहुञ्जेलसम्म महा-पवित्रस्थानमा जाने मार्ग प्रकट गरिएको थिएन ।
By those things the Holy Spirit indicated that [just like God] did not reveal the way [for ordinary people] to enter into the inner room while the outer room still existed [MET], [similarly he did not reveal the way for ordinary people to enter the presence of God while the Jewish system of offering sacrifices was in effect].
9 वर्तमान समयका लागि यो एक उदाहरण थियो । चढाइएका भेटी र बलिदानहरू दुवैले आराधकको विवेकलाई सिद्ध गर्न सकेनन् ।
[The things that the priests did inside the outer room] [MTY] symbolized [what was true] during the time [when the first covenant was in effect]. According to [the first covenant] (OR, [In that outer room]), [priests] offered gifts and other sacrifices to God. But [by offering them], the people who brought them were unable to make themselves feel that they were no longer guilty for having sinned.
10 ती विभिन्न किसिमका उत्सवका शुद्धिकरणहरू खाने र पिउने कुरासँग मात्रै सम्बन्धित छन् । ती सबै शरीरका निम्ति नियमहरू मात्रै थिए, जसलाई नयाँ प्रकारले सृजना नगरेसम्म क्रमिक रूपमा राखिएको थियो ।
[They brought those gifts and made those sacrifices] according to [regulations concerning] things to eat and drink, and [according to rules that required people to] wash various things. [God] declared that those regulations about our bodies were to be in effect until [he put into effect the new covenant]; that was a better system.
11 ख्रीष्ट आउनेवाला असल थोकहरूका प्रधान पुजारीको रूपमा आउनुभयो । उहाँ अझ बढी महान् र सिद्ध पवित्रस्थानमा प्रवेश गर्नुभयो, जुन मानवीय हातद्वारा बनाइएको होइन, जुन यस सृजित संसारको होइन । (नोटः अन्य संस्करणहरूमा लेखिएको छ) ख्रीष्ट आउनेवाला असल थोकहरूका प्रधान पुजारीजस्तै भएर आउनुभयो ।
But when Christ came as our Supreme Priest, [he brought] the good things that are now available. When he appeared, [he went into God’s presence in heaven. That is like a] [MET] very great and perfect tent not made by humans {which no human made} [SYN]; that is, it is not part of the world [God] created. It was better [than the tent Moses set up here on earth].
12 बोका र बाछाहरूको रगतले नभई उहाँ आफ्नै रगतद्वारा सबैका निम्ति एकै चोटि त्यस महा-पवित्रस्थानभित्र प्रवेश गर्नुभयो र हाम्रो अनन्तको छुटकारलाई सुरक्षित गर्नुभयो । (aiōnios )
[When a Supreme Priest goes into the inner room in the tent each year, he takes] goats’ blood and calves’ blood [to offer as a sacrifice]. But Christ did not [do that. It was as though] he went into that very holy place only once, taking his own blood with him. By doing that, he eternally redeemed us. (aiōnios )
13 किनकि यदि बोका र साँढेहरूको रगत अनि कोरेलीको खरानीले छर्किंदा तिनीहरू अशुद्ध हुन्छन् र तिनीहरूका शरीरलाई शुद्ध पार्न तिनीहरू परमेश्वरमा समर्पित हुनुपर्छ भने,
The priests sprinkle on people goats’ blood and bulls’ blood and [the water that has been filtered through] the ashes of a [red] heifer that has been [completely burned. By performing that ritual, they can ritually] cleanse the bodies of those who are [ceremonially] unclean. Furthermore, performing those rituals enabled people to have fellowship with God again.
14 झन् कति धेरै ख्रीष्टको रगतले हाम्रा विवेकलाई मृत कामहरूबाट शुद्ध पार्दछ र जीवित परमेश्वरको सेवा गर्न जसले अनन्त आत्माद्वारा दोषरहित प्रकारले आफैँलाई अर्पण गर्नुभयो? (aiōnios )
[So, because we know what] Christ [accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died for us] [PRS, MTY], we will be very certain that we are not guilty [of having] done those things [that those who are spiritually] dead do. [As a result], we can serve God, who is all-powerful. [The priests always offer to God animals] with no defects. Similarly, when Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] to God, he was sinless [MET]. He did that as a result of [God’s] eternal Spirit [helping him]. (aiōnios )
15 यसै कारणले गर्दा, उहाँ नयाँ करारको मध्यस्तकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ । यो मृत्युको कारणले गर्दा स्वतन्त्र गराइएकाहरू तिनीहरूका पापको सजायबाट पहिलो करारमा रहन्छन् ताकि परमेश्वरद्वारा बोलाइएकाहरूले प्रतिज्ञा गरिएको अनन्त उत्तराधिकारलाई प्राप्त गर्न सकून् । (aiōnios )
[By] dying [for us], [Christ] ([redeemed/] free from the penalty for their sins) even those who disobeyed the [conditions of] (OR, [during the time of]) the first covenant. So, [because] no [one could be made perfect by obeying the old covenant], now Christ establishes [between God and people] a new covenant. He does that in order that those whom God has chosen may eternally have [the blessings that God] has promised them. (aiōnios )
16 किनकि जहाँ इच्छा हुन्छ, त्यहाँ त्यो बनाउने व्यक्तिको मृत्युलाई प्रमाणित गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
A covenant [is like a will. In the case of a will], [in order to put its provisions into effect], someone must prove that the one who made it has died.
17 किनकि एउटा इच्छा तब मात्र लागु हुन्छ, जब त्यहाँ मृत्यु भएको हुन्छ, किनभने जबसम्म यसलाई बनाउने जीवित हुन्छ, तबसम्म यसको कुनै जोड हुँदैन ।
A will goes into effect [only when the one who makes the will] has died. It is not in effect when the one who made it is still alive.
18 त्यसैले, पहिलो करार पनि रगतविना स्थापित भएको थिएन ।
And so [God] put the first covenant into effect only [LIT] by means of [animals’] blood that was shed [when they were slaughtered].
19 किनकि जब मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई व्यवस्थामा भएका हरेक आज्ञा दिए, उनले बाछा र बोकाहरूको रगत, पानी, रातो उन र हिसप लिएर त्यस मुट्ठा र सबै मानिस दुवैलाई छर्के ।
After Moses had declared to all the Israelites everything that God commanded in the laws [that God gave him], he took calves’ and goats’ blood [mixed] with water. He [dipped into it] scarlet wool [that he tied around] a sprig of hyssop. Then he sprinkled [with some of the blood] the scroll itself containing God’s laws. Then he sprinkled [more of that blood on all the] people,
20 तब उनले भने, “यो करारको रगत हो, जुन परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका निम्ति आज्ञा गर्नुभएको थियो ।”
saying to them, “This is the blood [which brings into effect] the covenant that God commanded that you [obey].”
21 यसरी नै, उनले पवित्रस्थान र सेवामा प्रयोग हुने सबै भाँडामा रगत छर्के ।
Likewise, he sprinkled with that blood the tent and every object that they used in performing rituals.
22 अनि व्यवस्थाअनुसार रगतले हरेक थोकलाई शुद्ध पार्दछ । रगत नबगाइकन क्षमा हुँदैन ।
It was by [sprinkling] blood that they [ritually] cleansed almost everything. That was what [was stated in] God’s laws. If blood is not shed [when people offer a sacrifice, God] cannot forgive [the person who is making the sacrifice].
23 त्यसकारण, स्वर्गमा भएका थोकहरूका नक्कलहरूलाई जनावरहरूको बलिदानद्वारा शुद्ध पारिनुपर्थ्यो भने स्वर्गमा भएका थोकहरू आफैँलाई झन् कति धेरै उत्तम बलिदानद्वारा शुद्ध पार्न आवश्यक पर्यो ।
So, by rituals like that, it was necessary for [the priests] to cleanse the things that symbolized what Christ does [MTY] in heaven. But God has to [consecrate] the [people who will enter] [MTY] heaven [by means of] better sacrifices than those.
24 किनकि ख्रीष्ट हातद्वारा बनाइएको महा-पवित्रस्थानमा प्रवेश गर्नुभएन, जुनचाहिँ सत्यताको एक नक्कल मात्र हो । बरु, उहाँ आफैँ स्वर्गमा प्रवेश गर्नुभयो, अनि हाम्रा निम्ति अहिले उहाँ परमेश्वरको सामु उपस्थित हुनुहुन्छ ।
Christ did not enter a sanctuary that humans made. That one only represented the true [sanctuary]. Instead, he entered heaven itself, in order to now be in God’s presence [to plead with] God for us.
25 उहाँ आफ्नै निम्ति घरिघरि बलि चढाउनका निम्ति त्यहाँ जानुभएको होइन, जसरी प्रधान पुजारीले हरेक वर्ष अर्काको रगत लिएर महा-पवित्रस्थानभित्र प्रवेश गर्दछन् ।
The [Jewish] Supreme Priest enters the very holy place once every year, taking blood that is not his own, [to offer it as a sacrifice]. But when Christ entered heaven, it was not in order to offer himself repeatedly like that.
26 त्यसो भएको भए, संसारको उत्पत्तिदेखि नै उहाँले धेरै पल्ट दुःख भोग्नुपर्ने हुन्थ्यो । तर यस युगको अन्त्यमा एक पल्ट उहाँको आफ्नै बलिद्वारा पापलाई हटाउन उहाँ सधैँका निम्ति एकै पल्ट प्रकट हुनुभएको हो । (aiōn )
[If that were so], he would have needed to suffer [and shed his blood] repeatedly since [the time when God] created the world. But instead, in this final age, [Christ] has appeared once in order that by sacrificing himself he could cause [that people] no longer will be [punished for their] sins. (aiōn )
27 हरेक व्यक्ति एक पटक मर्न निश्चित छ, र त्यसपछि न्याय आउँदछ ।
All people must die once, and after that [God] will judge them [for their sins].
28 त्यसरी नै, ख्रीष्ट पनि धेरै जनाका पाप बोक्नलाई सधैँका निम्ति एकै पल्ट बलि हुनुभयो । पापसँग सामना गर्नलाई दोस्रो पल्ट उहाँ देखा पर्नुहुने होइन, तर मुक्तिका लागि धैर्यसाथ उहाँका निम्ति पर्खिरहनेहरूका लागि हो ।
Likewise, when Christ [died], [God] offered him once to be a sacrifice, to punish him instead of the many [people who had] sinned. He will come [to earth] a second time, not [in order to sacrifice himself again for those who] have sinned, but in order to [complete] his saving those who expectantly wait for him.
