Hebreus 10
1 Pois, como a Lei tem uma sombra dos bens futuros, e não a própria imagem das coisas, ela nunca pode, por meio dos mesmos sacrifícios que se oferecem a cada ano, continuamente, tornar perfeitos os que se aproximam.
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 Caso contrário, deixariam de ser oferecidos, pois os adoradores, uma vez purificados, não teriam mais consciência alguma de pecados.
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 Porém nesses [sacrifícios] a cada ano [se faz] uma nova lembrança dos pecados,
But rather, the fact that they offer those sacrifices each year reminds them that they are still guilty for their sins.
4 porque é impossível que o sangue de touros e de bodes tire pecados.
The principle is that blood of animals such as bulls or goats can never remove the guilt of those who have sinned.
5 Por isso que, quando ele entrou no mundo, disse: Sacrifício e oferta não quiseste, mas me preparaste um corpo.
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 Ofertas de queima e ofertas pelo pecado 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 eu disse: “Eis-me aqui; (no rolo do livro está escrito de mim) venho para fazer a tua vontade, ó Deus”.
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 Depois de ter dito acima: “Sacrifícios, ofertas, holocaustos, e ofertas pelo pecado não quiseste, nem te agradaram”, (os quais se oferecem 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-me aqui, venho para fazer a tua vontade. [Assim], ele cancela o primeiro [pacto], 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 Pela sua vontade somos santificados por meio da oferta sacrificial do corpo de Jesus Cristo, [feita] de uma vez por todas.
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 Todo sacerdote comparece a cada dia para servir e oferecer muitas vezes os mesmos sacrifícios, que nunca podem tirar os pecados;
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 [Jesus], depois que ofereceu um sacrifício pelos pecados, assentou-se para sempre à direita 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 e espera desde então, até que os seus inimigos sejam postos por escabelo dos seus pés.
From now on, he is waiting for [God] to completely subdue [all] Christ’s enemies [MTY].
14 Pois com uma só oferta ele aperfeiçoou para sempre os que são santificados.
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 também o Espírito Santo nos dá testemunho [acerca disso]; pois, depois de haver dito:
The Holy Spirit also confirms to us [that this is true]. First the Lord says:
16 Este é o pacto que farei com eles depois daqueles dias, diz o Senhor: Porei minhas leis em seus corações, e as escreverei em sua mente;
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 [Então ele diz]: E não mais me lembrarei dos seus pecados e das suas transgressões.
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 há perdão dessas coisas, não há mais oferta pelo pecado.
When [God] has forgiven someone’s sins, that person does not [need to make] any more offerings [to atone for his sin]!
19 Portanto, irmãos, já que temos a confiança de entrar no Santuário 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 caminho novo e vivo que ele consagrou para nós através do 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 já que temos um grande Sacerdote sobre a casa de Deus,
Christ is a great priest [who rules over us, who are] God’s people [MTY].
22 aproximemo-nos com um coração sincero em plena certeza de fé, tendo os corações aspergidos e purificados da má consciência, e o corpo lavado com água pura;
[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 mantenhamos firme a esperança que declararmos ter, sem abalo algum, pois aquele que prometeu é fiel;
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 sejamos atenciosos uns para com os outros, a fim de incentivar o amor e as 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 abandonando a nossa reunião, como é o costume de alguns. Ao contrário, encorajemos [uns aos outros], e tanto mais quanto vedes aquele dia se aproximando.
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 Pois se nós, depois de havermos recebido o conhecimento da verdade, persistirmos pecando por vontade própria, já não resta mais sacrifício pelos pecados;
[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 em vez disso, certa terrível expectativa de julgamento, e um fogo de indignação que consumirá os adversários.
Instead, we must fearfully expect that [God will] judge and angrily [punish] his enemies in a furious fire [MET].
28 Se alguém que rejeita a Lei de Moisés morre sem misericórdia com base [na palavra de] duas ou três 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 pior castigo vós pensais que será julgado merecedor aquele que pisou o Filho de Deus, menosprezou ) o sangue do Testamento no qual ele foi santificado, e insultou o Espírito 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 Pois nós conhecemos aquele que disse: A vingança é minha; eu retribuirei. 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 Cair nas mãos do Deus vivo é algo terrível.
It will be a terrible thing if God who is all-powerful [MTY] seizes and punishes you [IDM]!
32 Lembrai-vos, porém, dos dias passados, em que, depois de serdes iluminados, suportastes grande combate de aflições,
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 quando, em parte, fostes expostos em público tanto a insultos, como a tribulações, e em parte, fostes companheiros daqueles 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 Pois também vos compadecestes dos ques estavam em prisões, e com alegria aceitastes a espoliação dos vossos bens, pois sabeis em vós mesmos que tendes nos Céus um bem 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 Portanto, não rejeiteis a vossa confiança, que tem uma grande recompensa;
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 pois precisais de paciência, a fim de que, depois que houverdes feito a vontade de Deus, recebais o que foi prometido.
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 Pois ainda um pouquinho de tempo, e aquele que vem 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 meu justo viverá pela fé; e se ele retroceder, a minha alma não tem prazer nele.
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 Mas nós não somos dos que retrocedem para a perdição, mas sim dos que creem 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.
