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 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 Ministro del santuario y del verdadero Tabernáculo, erigido por el Señor y no el hombre.
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 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 gifts and sacrifices; therefore, it was necessary for this priest also to 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,
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 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.
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 Pero ahora [Jesús] tiene un ministerio mejor, por cuanto es Mediador de un Pacto mejor establecido sobre promesas mejores.
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 Porque si el primero fuera sin defecto, [el] segundo no hubiera sido necesario.
For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one.
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,
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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 toward their iniquities; their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
13 Al decir: Nuevo [Pacto], trató como obsoleto el primero, porque lo tratado como obsoleto caduca. Está cerca de desaparecer.
In speaking of “a new covenant,” he has made the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old will soon disappear.
