Hebreos 8
1 Lo principal de lo que decimos es que tenemos un Sumo Sacerdote que se sentó a la derecha del trono de la Majestad en los cielos,
Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
2 Ministro del santuario y del verdadero Tabernáculo, erigido por el Señor y no el hombre.
a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, and not man.
3 Porque todo sumo sacerdote es designado para ofrecer ofrendas y sacrificios, por lo cual es necesario que Éste también tenga algo para ofrecer.
For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
4 Así que, ni siquiera sería sacerdote si estuviera en [la] tierra, donde hay los que presentan las ofrendas según [la] Ley,
Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Law;
5 los cuales sirven de modelo y sombra de las cosas celestiales, como se le advirtió a Moisés cuando iba a erigir el Tabernáculo: Mira, le dice: Haz todas las cosas según el modelo que se te mostró en la montaña.
who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."
6 Pero ahora [Jesús] tiene un ministerio mejor, por cuanto es Mediador de un Pacto mejor establecido sobre promesas mejores.
But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as Law.
7 Porque si el primero fuera sin defecto, [el] segundo no hubiera sido necesario.
For if the first had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
8 Porque al reprenderlos dice: Miren, vienen días, dice [el] Señor, en los cuales estableceré un Nuevo Pacto con la casa de Israel y con la casa de Judá,
For finding fault with them, he said, "Look, the days are coming," says the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
9 No como el Pacto que hice con sus antepasados el día cuando los tomé de la mano para sacarlos de [la] tierra de Egipto. Porque ellos no permanecieron en mi Pacto, y Yo los desatendí, dice el Señor.
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them," says the Lord.
10 Porque éste es el Pacto que estableceré con la casa de Israel después de aquellos días, dice [el] Señor, grabaré mis Leyes en la mente de ellos y las escribiré sobre sus corazones. [Yo] les seré Dios, y ellos me serán pueblo.
"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
11 Que de ningún modo [alguno] enseñe a su conciudadano, ni le diga a su hermano: conoce al Señor. Porque todos me conocerán, desde [el] menor hasta [el] mayor de ellos.
They will not teach each one his fellow citizen, and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
12 Porque tendré misericordia de ellos en relación con sus iniquidades, y que de ningún modo me acuerde de sus pecados.
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins no more."
13 Al decir: Nuevo [Pacto], trató como obsoleto el primero, porque lo tratado como obsoleto caduca. Está cerca de desaparecer.
In that he says, "new," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
