ઇબ્રિણઃ 9
1 સ પ્રથમો નિયમ આરાધનાયા વિવિધરીતિભિરૈહિકપવિત્રસ્થાનેન ચ વિશિષ્ટ આસીત્|
[To continue]: In the first [covenant, God] regulated how people [should perform] rituals, and [he told them to make] [MTY] a sanctuary.
2 યતો દૂષ્યમેકં નિરમીયત તસ્ય પ્રથમકોષ્ઠસ્ય નામ પવિત્રસ્થાનમિત્યાસીત્ તત્ર દીપવૃક્ષો ભોજનાસનં દર્શનીયપૂપાનાં શ્રેણી ચાસીત્|
[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 તત્પશ્ચાદ્ દ્વિતીયાયાસ્તિરષ્કરિણ્યા અભ્યન્તરે ઽતિપવિત્રસ્થાનમિતિનામકં કોષ્ઠમાસીત્,
Behind the curtain inside [the holy place] there was [another] room. That was called ‘the very holy place’.
4 તત્ર ચ સુવર્ણમયો ધૂપાધારઃ પરિતઃ સુવર્ણમણ્ડિતા નિયમમઞ્જૂષા ચાસીત્ તન્મધ્યે માન્નાયાઃ સુવર્ણઘટો હારોણસ્ય મઞ્જરિતદણ્ડસ્તક્ષિતૌ નિયમપ્રસ્તરૌ,
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 તદુપરિ ચ કરુણાસને છાયાકારિણૌ તેજોમયૌ કિરૂબાવાસ્તામ્, એતેષાં વિશેષવૃત્તાન્તકથનાય નાયં સમયઃ|
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 એતેષ્વીદૃક્ નિર્મ્મિતેષુ યાજકા ઈશ્વરસેવામ્ અનુતિષ્ઠનતો દૂષ્યસ્ય પ્રથમકોષ્ઠં નિત્યં પ્રવિશન્તિ|
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 કિન્તુ દ્વિતીયં કોષ્ઠં પ્રતિવર્ષમ્ એકકૃત્વ એકાકિના મહાયાજકેન પ્રવિશ્યતે કિન્ત્વાત્મનિમિત્તં લોકાનામ્ અજ્ઞાનકૃતપાપાનાઞ્ચ નિમિત્તમ્ ઉત્સર્જ્જનીયં રુધિરમ્ અનાદાય તેન ન પ્રવિશ્યતે|
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 ઇત્યનેન પવિત્ર આત્મા યત્ જ્ઞાપયતિ તદિદં તત્ પ્રથમં દૂષ્યં યાવત્ તિષ્ઠતિ તાવત્ મહાપવિત્રસ્થાનગામી પન્થા અપ્રકાશિતસ્તિષ્ઠતિ|
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 તચ્ચ દૂષ્યં વર્ત્તમાનસમયસ્ય દૃષ્ટાન્તઃ, યતો હેતોઃ સામ્પ્રતં સંશોધનકાલં યાવદ્ યન્નિરૂપિતં તદનુસારાત્ સેવાકારિણો માનસિકસિદ્ધિકરણેઽસમર્થાભિઃ
[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 કેવલં ખાદ્યપેયેષુ વિવિધમજ્જનેષુ ચ શારીરિકરીતિભિ ર્યુક્તાનિ નૈવેદ્યાનિ બલિદાનાનિ ચ ભવન્તિ|
[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 અપરં ભાવિમઙ્ગલાનાં મહાયાજકઃ ખ્રીષ્ટ ઉપસ્થાયાહસ્તનિર્મ્મિતેનાર્થત એતત્સૃષ્ટે ર્બહિર્ભૂતેન શ્રેષ્ઠેન સિદ્ધેન ચ દૂષ્યેણ ગત્વા
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 છાગાનાં ગોવત્સાનાં વા રુધિરમ્ અનાદાય સ્વીયરુધિરમ્ આદાયૈકકૃત્વ એવ મહાપવિત્રસ્થાનં પ્રવિશ્યાનન્તકાલિકાં મુક્તિં પ્રાપ્તવાન્| (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
13 વૃષછાગાનાં રુધિરેણ ગવીભસ્મનઃ પ્રક્ષેપેણ ચ યદ્યશુચિલોકાઃ શારીરિશુચિત્વાય પૂયન્તે,
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 તર્હિ કિં મન્યધ્વે યઃ સદાતનેનાત્મના નિષ્કલઙ્કબલિમિવ સ્વમેવેશ્વરાય દત્તવાન્, તસ્ય ખ્રીષ્ટસ્ય રુધિરેણ યુષ્માકં મનાંસ્યમરેશ્વરસ્ય સેવાયૈ કિં મૃત્યુજનકેભ્યઃ કર્મ્મભ્યો ન પવિત્રીકારિષ્યન્તે? (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
15 સ નૂતનનિયમસ્ય મધ્યસ્થોઽભવત્ તસ્યાભિપ્રાયોઽયં યત્ પ્રથમનિયમલઙ્ઘનરૂપપાપેભ્યો મૃત્યુના મુક્તૌ જાતાયામ્ આહૂતલોકા અનન્તકાલીયસમ્પદઃ પ્રતિજ્ઞાફલં લભેરન્| (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
16 યત્ર નિયમો ભવતિ તત્ર નિયમસાધકસ્ય બલે ર્મૃત્યુના ભવિતવ્યં|
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 યતો હતેન બલિના નિયમઃ સ્થિરીભવતિ કિન્તુ નિયમસાધકો બલિ ર્યાવત્ જીવતિ તાવત્ નિયમો નિરર્થકસ્તિષ્ઠતિ|
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 તસ્માત્ સ પૂર્વ્વનિયમોઽપિ રુધિરપાતં વિના ન સાધિતઃ|
And so [God] put the first covenant into effect only [LIT] by means of [animals’] blood that was shed [when they were slaughtered].
19 ફલતઃ સર્વ્વલોકાન્ પ્રતિ વ્યવસ્થાનુસારેણ સર્વ્વા આજ્ઞાઃ કથયિત્વા મૂસા જલેન સિન્દૂરવર્ણલોમ્ના એષોવતૃણેન ચ સાર્દ્ધં ગોવત્સાનાં છાગાનાઞ્ચ રુધિરં ગૃહીત્વા ગ્રન્થે સર્વ્વલોકેષુ ચ પ્રક્ષિપ્ય બભાષે,
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 યુષ્માન્ અધીશ્વરો યં નિયમં નિરૂપિતવાન્ તસ્ય રુધિરમેતત્|
saying to them, “This is the blood [which brings into effect] the covenant that God commanded that you [obey].”
21 તદ્વત્ સ દૂષ્યેઽપિ સેવાર્થકેષુ સર્વ્વપાત્રેષુ ચ રુધિરં પ્રક્ષિપ્તવાન્|
Likewise, he sprinkled with that blood the tent and every object that they used in performing rituals.
22 અપરં વ્યવસ્થાનુસારેણ પ્રાયશઃ સર્વ્વાણિ રુધિરેણ પરિષ્ક્રિયન્તે રુધિરપાતં વિના પાપમોચનં ન ભવતિ ચ|
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 અપરં યાનિ સ્વર્ગીયવસ્તૂનાં દૃષ્ટાન્તાસ્તેષામ્ એતૈઃ પાવનમ્ આવશ્યકમ્ આસીત્ કિન્તુ સાક્ષાત્ સ્વર્ગીયવસ્તૂનામ્ એતેભ્યઃ શ્રેષ્ઠે ર્બલિદાનૈઃ પાવનમાવશ્યકં|
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 યતઃ ખ્રીષ્ટઃ સત્યપવિત્રસ્થાનસ્ય દૃષ્ટાન્તરૂપં હસ્તકૃતં પવિત્રસ્થાનં ન પ્રવિષ્ટવાન્ કિન્ત્વસ્મન્નિમિત્તમ્ ઇદાનીમ્ ઈશ્વરસ્ય સાક્ષાદ્ ઉપસ્થાતું સ્વર્ગમેવ પ્રવિષ્ટઃ|
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 યથા ચ મહાયાજકઃ પ્રતિવર્ષં પરશોણિતમાદાય મહાપવિત્રસ્થાનં પ્રવિશતિ તથા ખ્રીષ્ટેન પુનઃ પુનરાત્મોત્સર્ગો ન કર્ત્તવ્યઃ,
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 કર્ત્તવ્યે સતિ જગતઃ સૃષ્ટિકાલમારભ્ય બહુવારં તસ્ય મૃત્યુભોગ આવશ્યકોઽભવત્; કિન્ત્વિદાનીં સ આત્મોત્સર્ગેણ પાપનાશાર્થમ્ એકકૃત્વો જગતઃ શેષકાલે પ્રચકાશે| (aiōn g165)
[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 g165)
27 અપરં યથા માનુષસ્યૈકકૃત્વો મરણં તત્ પશ્ચાદ્ વિચારો નિરૂપિતોઽસ્તિ,
All people must die once, and after that [God] will judge them [for their sins].
28 તદ્વત્ ખ્રીષ્ટોઽપિ બહૂનાં પાપવહનાર્થં બલિરૂપેણૈકકૃત્વ ઉત્સસૃજે, અપરં દ્વિતીયવારં પાપાદ્ ભિન્નઃ સન્ યે તં પ્રતીક્ષન્તે તેષાં પરિત્રાણાર્થં દર્શનં દાસ્યતિ|
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.
