VaHebheru 8
1 Zvino shoko guru pazvinhu zvatataura ndirori: Tine mupristi mukuru wakadai wakagara kuruoko rwerudyi rwechigaro cheushe cheMukuru kumatenga,
The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
2 mushumiri wenzvimbo tsvene, newetabhenakeri yechokwadi Ishe yaakadzika, kwete munhu.
and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.
3 Nokuti mupristi mukuru umwe neumwe wakagadzirwa kubaira zvipo nezvibairo; naizvozvo zvakafanira kuti naye ave nechimwe chaangabaira.
And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.
4 Nokuti kana aiva panyika, angadai asina kutombova mupristi, vapristi zvavaripo, vanobaira zvipo zvinoenderana nemurairo;
Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.
5 vanoshumira zviratidzo nemumvuri wezvinhu zvekudenga, Mozisi sezvaakarairwa naMwari oda kugadzira tabhenakeri; nokuti wakati: Chenjera kuti uite zvese zvichienderana nemufananidzo wawakaratidzwa mugomo.
The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
6 Asi ikozvino wakawana ushumiri hwakanyanyisa kunaka, sezvaariwo murevereri wesungano inopfuura pakunaka, yakasimbiswa pazvivimbiso zvinopfuura pakunaka.
Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.
7 Nokuti dai iya yekutanga yakange isina chaingapomerwa, dai pasina nzvimbo yakatsvakirwa yechipiri.
For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.
8 Nokuti achivapa mhosva, anoti: Tarira, mazuva anouya, anotaura Ishe, zvino ndichaita sungano itsva neimba yaIsraeri uye neimba yaJudha.
But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
9 Kwete zvichienderana nesungano yandakaita nemadzibaba avo, pazuva randakabata ruoko rwavo kuti ndivabudise munyika yeEgipita; nokuti havana kurambira musungano yangu, neni ndikasava nehanya navo, anoreva Ishe.
It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them,
10 Nokuti iyi isungano yandichasungana nayo neimba yaIsraeri shure kwemazuva iwayo, anotaura Ishe; ndichaisa mirairo yangu mumurangariro wavo, nemuhana dzavo ndichainyora; uye ndichava kwavari Mwari, ivo vachavawo kwandiri vanhu;
For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
11 uye havangatongozodzidzisi umwe neumwe umwe wake, neumwe neumwe hama yake, achiti: Ziva Ishe; nokuti vese vachandiziva, kubva kumudiki wavo kusvikira kumukuru wavo.
No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.
12 Nokuti ndichava netsitsi pakusarurama kwavo, nezvivi zvavo nezvakaipa zvavo handichatongozorangariri.
For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”
13 Pakuti: Sungano itsva, yakasakadza yekutanga. Zvino chosakarawo chova chakare, chava pedo kurova.
By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
