ibriṇaḥ 8

1 kathyamānānāṁ vākyānāṁ sārō'yam asmākam ētādr̥śa ēkō mahāyājakō'sti yaḥ svargē mahāmahimnaḥ siṁhāsanasya dakṣiṇapārśvō samupaviṣṭavān

Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the Majesty's throne in heaven,

2 yacca dūṣyaṁ na manujaiḥ kintvīśvarēṇa sthāpitaṁ tasya satyadūṣyasya pavitravastūnāñca sēvakaḥ sa bhavati|

where he serves as a minister of the holy places and the true tabernacle, which was set up by the Lord, not by man.

3 yata ēkaikō mahāyājakō naivēdyānāṁ balīnāñca dānē niyujyatē, atō hētōrētasyāpi kiñcid utsarjanīyaṁ vidyata ityāvaśyakaṁ|

For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore, it was necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.

4 kiñca sa yadi pr̥thivyām asthāsyat tarhi yājakō nābhaviṣyat, yatō yē vyavasthānusārāt naivēdyāni dadatyētādr̥śā yājakā vidyantē|

For if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

5 tē tu svargīyavastūnāṁ dr̥ṣṭāntēna chāyayā ca sēvāmanutiṣṭhanti yatō mūsasi dūṣyaṁ sādhayitum udyatē satīśvarastadēva tamādiṣṭavān phalataḥ sa tamuktavān, yathā, "avadhēhi girau tvāṁ yadyannidarśanaṁ darśitaṁ tadvat sarvvāṇi tvayā kriyantāṁ|"

They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to build the tabernacle, he was warned by God, “Be sure to make everything according to the pattern that was shown to yoʋ on the mountain.”

6 kintvidānīm asau tasmāt śrēṣṭhaṁ sēvakapadaṁ prāptavān yataḥ sa śrēṣṭhapratijñābhiḥ sthāpitasya śrēṣṭhaniyamasya madhyasthō'bhavat|

But as it is, the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to the old priesthood as the covenant he mediates is superior to the old covenant, since it has been enacted on better promises.

7 sa prathamō niyamō yadi nirddōṣō'bhaviṣyata tarhi dvitīyasya niyamasya kimapi prayōjanaṁ nābhaviṣyat|

For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one.

8 kintu sa dōṣamārōpayan tēbhyaḥ kathayati, yathā, "paramēśvara idaṁ bhāṣatē paśya yasmin samayē'ham isrāyēlavaṁśēna yihūdāvaṁśēna ca sārddham ēkaṁ navīnaṁ niyamaṁ sthirīkariṣyāmyētādr̥śaḥ samaya āyāti|

But finding fault with it, God says to the people, “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,

9 paramēśvarō'paramapi kathayati tēṣāṁ pūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ misaradēśād ānayanārthaṁ yasmin dinē'haṁ tēṣāṁ karaṁ dhr̥tvā taiḥ saha niyamaṁ sthirīkr̥tavān taddinasya niyamānusārēṇa nahi yatastai rmama niyamē laṅghitē'haṁ tān prati cintāṁ nākaravaṁ|

not like the covenant I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant, so I had no regard for them, says the Lord.

10 kintu paramēśvaraḥ kathayati taddināt paramahaṁ isrāyēlavaṁśīyaiḥ sārddham imaṁ niyamaṁ sthirīkariṣyāmi, tēṣāṁ cittē mama vidhīn sthāpayiṣyāmi tēṣāṁ hr̥tpatrē ca tān lēkhiṣyāmi, aparamahaṁ tēṣām īśvarō bhaviṣyāmi tē ca mama lōkā bhaviṣyanti|

For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

11 aparaṁ tvaṁ paramēśvaraṁ jānīhītivākyēna tēṣāmēkaikō janaḥ svaṁ svaṁ samīpavāsinaṁ bhrātarañca puna rna śikṣayiṣyati yata ākṣudrāt mahāntaṁ yāvat sarvvē māṁ jñāsyanti|

No longer will a man teach his fellow citizen or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.

12 yatō hētōrahaṁ tēṣām adharmmān kṣamiṣyē tēṣāṁ pāpānyaparādhāṁśca punaḥ kadāpi na smariṣyāmi|"

For I will be merciful toward their iniquities; their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

13 anēna taṁ niyamaṁ nūtanaṁ gaditvā sa prathamaṁ niyamaṁ purātanīkr̥tavān; yacca purātanaṁ jīrṇāñca jātaṁ tasya lōpō nikaṭō 'bhavat|

In speaking of “a new covenant,” he has made the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old will soon disappear.
