Bahebera 8

1 Se re se buang ke se: Keresete yo boperesiti jwa gagwe re setseng re tswa go bo tlhalosa, ke Moperesiti wa rona yo Mogolo, ebile o kwa legodimong kwa bonnong jwa tlotlo e kgolo thata gaufi le Modimo ka sebele.

Now the sum of the things that have been said is this, that we have such an high-priest, who is sat down at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens;

2 O dira mo tempeleng e e kwa legodimong, lefelo la boammaaruri la kobamelo le le agilweng ke Morena e seng ke diatla tsa batho.

a minister of holy things, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath raised, and not man.

3 Mme ka moperesiti mongwe le mongwe yo mogolo a tlhophelwa go ntsha dineo le ditlhabelo, Keresete le ene o tshwanetse go ntsha setlhabelo.

For every high-priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; wherefore it was necessary that He also should have something to offer.

4 Setlhabelo se a se ntshang se botoka thata go gaisa ditlhabelo tse di ntshiwang ke baperesiti ba lefatshe. Mme le fa go ntse jalo, fa a ka bo a ne a le mo lefatsheng o ne a ka se ka a letlelelwa go nna moperesiti gonne mo lefatsheng baperesiti ba santse ba latela mokgwa wa bogologolo wa Sejuta wa ditlhabelo.

For if He were on earth, He could not be a priest, seeing there are priests already that offer gifts according to the law:

5 Tiro ya bone e ka fa tsamaisong ya motlaagana wa selefatshe o o leng moriti wa motlaagana tota o o kwa legodimong; gonne erile fa Moshe a ipaakanyetsa go aga motlaagana Modimo o ne wa mo tlhagisa gore a dire motlaagana o o tshwanang le motlaagana wa legodimo jaaka a ne a bontshiwa kwa Thabeng ya Senai.

who worship under the representation and shadow of heavenly things; as Moses was ordered by God, when he was about to finish the tabernacle. For see, saith He, that thou make all according to the model shewn thee in the mount.

6 Mme Keresete, jaaka e le moperesiti kwa legodimong, o duetswe ka tiro e e botlhokwa thata go gaisa ba ba dirang ka fa melaong e megologolo, gonne Kgolagano e ncha e a e fetiseditseng kwa go rona e tswa kwa Modimong e na le ditsholofetso tse di molemo thata.

But now He hath obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which is established upon better promises.

7 Kgolagano e kgologolo ga e ise e ke e bo e nne le thuso epe. Fa e ka bo e ne e na le thuso, go ka bo go ne ga seka ga tlhokega gore kgolagano e ncha e nne teng.

For if the first covenant had been unexceptionable, there had been no room for a second:

8 Mme Modimo ka sebele o ne wa bona phoso mo kgolaganong e kgologolo, gonne o ne wa re, “Letsatsi le tlaa tla la gore ke dire kgolagano e ncha le batho ba Iseraele le batho ba Juda.

as we see there was, for after complaining of them, He adds, "Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

9 Kgolagano e ncha e ga e kitla e tshwana le e kgologolo e ke neng ka e neela borraabo ka letsatsi le ke neng ka ba tshwara ka seatla go ba etelela pele ke ba ntsha mo lefatsheng la Egepeto; ga ba a ka ba tlhomama mo kgolaganong eo; jalo ka tshwanelwa ke go e tlosolosa.

not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10 Mme Morena a re, kgolagano e ke tlaa e dirang le batho ba Iseraele ke e: Ke tlaa kwala melao ya me mo megopolong ya bone gore ba tle ba itse se ke batlang ba se dira kwa ntle ga go ba bolelela, mme ke tlaa nna Modimo wa bone le bone ba tlaa nna batho ba me.

But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their mind, and I will inscribe them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

11 Mme ga go na ope yo o tlaa tlhokang go bua le tsala ya gagwe kgotsa molekane kgotsa morwa rraagwe, a re, ‘Le wena o tshwanetse go itse Morena’ gonne mongwe le mongwe, yo mogolo le yo monnye, ba tlaa bo ba setse ba nkitse.

And they shall not teach every one his neighbour, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the lest even to the greatest of them.

12 Mme ke tlaa ba utlwela botlhoko mo ditirong tsa bone tse di bosula, ebile ga ke na go tlhola ke gakologelwa dibe tsa bone”.

For I will forgive their crimes, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more."

13 Modimo o bua ka ditsholofetso tse di ncha tse, tsa kgolagano e ncha e, gore di tsaya maemo a kgolagano e kgologolo; gonne e beetswe kwa thoko ka bosakhutleng.

Now by saying, a new covenant, He hath antiquated the first: and what is antiquated, and groweth old, is near it's exit.
