Hebreus 10
1 Porque, tendo a lei a sombra dos bens futuros, e não a imagem exacta das coisas, nunca, pelos mesmos sacrificios que continuamente se offerecem cada anno, pode aperfeiçoar os que a elles se chegam.
Just like a shadow vaguely represents the thing that it is a shadow of, the laws that God [gave Moses] only poorly represent [MET] the good things that were to come later. Those laws were not all the good things themselves that God has promised. So, by offering the same kinds of sacrifices every year, people [PRS] who approach God can never become (perfect/all that God intends them to be).
2 D'outra maneira, não cessariam de se offerecer, porquanto, purificados uma vez os ministrantes, nunca mais teriam consciencia de peccado.
If God had removed the guilt for having sinned of those who brought the sacrifices, they would not feel that they were still guilty. So they would certainly have stopped offering those sacrifices! [RHQ]
3 N'elles, porém, cada anno se faz commemoração dos peccados.
But rather, the fact that they offer those sacrifices each year reminds them that they are still guilty for their sins.
4 Porque é impossivel que o sangue dos toiros e dos bodes tire os peccados.
The principle is that blood of animals such as bulls or goats can never remove the guilt of those who have sinned.
5 Pelo que, entrando no mundo, diz: Sacrificio e offerta não quizeste, mas corpo me preparaste;
So, as [Christ] was coming into the world, he spoke [to his Father about offering himself as a sacrifice for people’s sin. The Psalmist wrote this that Christ said]: It is not sacrifices and offerings that you [(sg)] have wanted, but you have prepared for me a body [to serve you].
6 Holocaustos e oblações pelo peccado não te agradaram.
Animals that are completely burned up as sacrifices have not pleased you, and [other sacrifices that atone] for those who have sinned have not pleased you.
7 Então disse: Eis aqui venho (no principio do livro está escripto de mim), para fazer, ó Deus, a tua vontade.
Then [because of this], I said, “My God, (listen!/here I am!) I have come [here] in order to do what you want me [to do], [just like] has been written {as they have written} about me in the Scriptures.”
8 Dizendo acima: Sacrificio e offerta, e holocaustos e oblações pelo peccado não quizeste, nem te agradaram (os quaes se offerecem segundo a lei).
First, [Christ] said, “It is not sacrifices and offerings and animals that [the priests] have completely burned up and other [offerings to atone for] those who have sinned that you have really wanted. They have not pleased you.” [Christ said that even though] those things were offered {they offered all those things} according to the laws [God gave Moses]!
9 Então disse: Eis aqui venho, para fazer, ó Deus, a tua vontade. Tira o primeiro, para estabelecer o segundo.
Then, [concerning his offering himself as a sacrifice to atone for people’s sin], he said, “Listen! I have come [here] to do what you want me [to do]!” In that way Christ got rid of the first [way of atoning for sin], in order to establish the second [way of atoning for] sin.
10 Na qual vontade somos sanctificados pela oblação do corpo de Jesus Christo, feita uma vez.
Because of Jesus Christ [doing what God] wanted him to do, we have been dedicated to {[he] has set us apart for} God by his offering his own body only once [as a sacrifice, a sacrifice that will not need to be repeated].
11 E assim todo o sacerdote apparece cada dia, ministrando e offerecendo muitas vezes os mesmos sacrificios, que nunca podem tirar os peccados.
As every [Jewish] priest stands daily [in front of the altar], he performs rituals and offers the same kind of sacrifices that could never remove [the guilt from anyone who] sinned [MTY].
12 Mas este, havendo offerecido um sacrificio pelos peccados, está assentado para sempre á dextra de Deus;
But [Christ] offered a sacrifice that [will be adequate] forever, and he offered it only one time! Then he sat down [to rule] with God at the place of highest honor [MTY].
13 D'aqui em diante esperando até que os seus inimigos sejam postos por escabello de seus pés.
From now on, he is waiting for [God] to completely subdue [all] Christ’s enemies [MTY].
14 Porque com uma oblação aperfeiçoou para sempre os que são sanctificados.
By offering himself once, he has provided that those whom [God] has set apart will be eternally made (perfect/all that God intends them to be).
15 E tambem o Espirito Sancto nol-o testifica, porque depois de haver antes dito:
The Holy Spirit also confirms to us [that this is true]. First the Lord says:
16 Este é o concerto que farei com elles depois d'aquelles dias, diz o Senhor: Porei as minhas leis em seus corações, e as escreverei em seus entendimentos: então diz
When the time [MTY] [when the first covenant that God made] with my people has ended, I will make a new covenant with them [MTY]. I will do like this for them: I will cause them to understand my laws and I will cause them to obey them (OR, enable them to know them sincerely).
17 E jámais me lembrarei de seus peccados e de suas iniquidades.
Then [the Lord said]: [I will forgive them for] their [DOU] sins, and I will [consider] that they are no longer [guilty for] having sinned.
18 Ora, onde ha remissão d'estes, não ha mais oblação pelo peccado.
When [God] has forgiven someone’s sins, that person does not [need to make] any more offerings [to atone for his sin]!
19 Tendo pois, irmãos, ousadia para entrar no sanctuario, pelo sangue de Jesus,
So, my fellow believers, because we [trust in what Jesus accomplished when] his own blood [flowed for us], we can confidently go into [God’s very presence] that was [symbolized] by the very holy place [in the tent] [MTY].
20 Pelo novo e vivo caminho que elle nos consagrou, pelo véu, isto é, pela sua carne,
Jesus enabled us to go into [God’s presence] by making a new and effective way. [Specifically], he [offered] his body [as a sacrifice] for us [in order that nothing would stop us] from entering [God’s presence, just like] [MET] the curtain [of the very holy place prevented people from entering God’s presence].
21 E tendo um grande sacerdote sobre a casa de Deus,
Christ is a great priest [who rules over us, who are] God’s people [MTY].
22 Cheguemo-nos com verdadeiro coração, em inteira certeza de fé; tendo os corações purificados da má consciencia, e o corpo lavado com agua limpa
[Just like the priests] were sprinkled {[as Moses] sprinkled [the priests]} [with blood] [MET] to symbolize that they were no longer guilty for having sinned, we also no longer are [guilty for having done] evil. [Just like the priests ceremonially] washed their bodies with pure water [to prepare themselves to serve God], we are allowing [God] to continually make us pure. So, we [(inc)] must approach [God] sincerely by confidently trusting [in him].
23 Retenhamos firmes a confissão da nossa esperança; porque fiel é o que prometteu.
We must unwaveringly keep holding tight [to what we believe. Since God] faithfully [does all] he promised [to do], we must confidently expect [him to keep doing that].
24 E consideremo-nos uns aos outros, para nos estimularmos á caridade e boas obras:
[Since God] faithfully [does all that] he promised [to do], let us consider how each of us can motivate other believers, in order that [believers] will love each other, and in order that each one will do good things.
25 Não deixando a nossa reunião, como é o costume de alguns, antes admoestando-nos uns aos outros; e tanto mais, quando virdes que se vae chegando aquelle dia.
We must not stop assembling ourselves [to worship the Lord], as some people have done. Instead, each one of us must encourage/exhort other believers. [Let us do that] even more since we know that the day [that the Lord will return] [MTY] is near.
26 Porque, se peccarmos voluntariamente, depois de termos recebido o conhecimento da verdade, já não resta mais sacrificio pelos peccados,
[We(inc) must do those things], because if we deliberately and habitually sin after we have known the true [message about Christ], no other sacrifice will remove our guilt for having sinned in that way.
27 Mas uma certa expectação horrivel de juizo, e ardor de fogo, que ha de devorar os adversarios.
Instead, we must fearfully expect that [God will] judge and angrily [punish] his enemies in a furious fire [MET].
28 Quebrantando algum a lei de Moysés, morre sem misericordia, só pela palavra de duas ou tres testemunhas:
Everyone who rejected the laws [that God gave] Moses was mercilessly killed when [at least] two or three people testified that they had done that.
29 De quanto maior castigo cuidaes vós será julgado digno aquelle que pisar o Filho de Deus, e tiver por profano o sangue do testamento, com que foi sanctificado, e fizer aggravo ao Espirito da graça?
[That was severe punishment]. But [Christ] is (God’s Son/the man who is also God). His blood, by means of which [he put into effect] the new covenant, is sacred. Because of [Christ’s] [MTY] blood [flowing for us when he died], [God] freed us from our guilt. So, you can be sure [RHQ] that anyone who shows contempt for [those truths] and who insults the Spirit of God, the one who acts with kindness toward us in a way we do not deserve, deserves to be punished even worse than [those Israelis were punished] [MET]!
30 Porque bem conhecemos aquelle que disse: Minha é a vingança, eu darei a recompensa, diz o Senhor. E outra vez: O Senhor julgará o seu povo.
[We can be sure of that] (OR, [need to think about that carefully]) since we know that God said, “I myself will get revenge on those who sinned, and I will punish them as they deserve [DOU].” [Moses wrote], “The Lord will judge his people.”
31 Horrenda coisa é cair nas mãos do Deus vivo.
It will be a terrible thing if God who is all-powerful [MTY] seizes and punishes you [IDM]!
32 Lembrae-vos, porém, dos dias passados, em que, depois de serdes illuminados, supportastes grande combate de afflicções;
Recall previous times when you [first] understood [MET] [the message about Christ]. You endured a hard struggle, but you [continued to trust him] when you suffered [because you believed in Christ].
33 Em parte fostes feitos espectaculo com vituperios e tribulações, e em parte fostes participantes com os que assim foram tratados.
At times you were publicly insulted {people publicly insulted you} and you suffered {people persecuted you}. But you showed great concern for those who were treated like that.
34 Porque tambem vos compadecestes das minhas prisões, e com gozo permittistes o roubo dos vossos bens, sabendo que em vós mesmos tendes nos céus uma possessão melhor e permanente.
You not only were kind to those who were in prison [because they believed in Christ], but you also accepted it joyfully when [unbelievers] took away your possessions. You accepted it because you yourselves knew very well that you have eternal possessions [in heaven] that are much better [than those that they took from you]!
35 Não rejeiteis pois a vossa confiança, que tem grande remuneração de galardão.
So, do not become discouraged [when they cause you to suffer] {[you are persecuted]}, because [if you continue to trust in God], he will greatly reward you.
36 Porque necessitaes de paciencia, para que, depois de haverdes feito a vontade de Deus, possaes alcançar a promessa.
You must patiently continue [to trust in him] in order that, because of your doing what God wants you to do, he will give you what he has promised.
37 Porque ainda um poucochinho, e o que ha de vir virá, e não tardará.
[You must do that] since [a prophet wrote] in the Scriptures [that God said about the Messiah], In just a short time the one [I promised] would come will surely come; he will not delay coming.
38 Mas o justo viverá da fé; e, se alguem se retirar, a minha alma não tem prazer n'elle.
But those whom I have summoned, who [act] righteously, must continually live trusting in me, because if they, in a cowardly manner, cease [to trust in me], I (will not be pleased/will be angry) with them.
39 Nós, porém, não somos d'aquelles que se retiram para a perdição, mas d'aquelles que crêem para a conservação da alma
But we are not ones who in a cowardly manner stop [trusting in God], with the result that God will severely punish us. Instead, we are ones who trust in him, with the result that [God] will save us [SYN] eternally.
