Hepelū 9

1 Ko eni, naʻe maʻu moʻoni foki ʻe he ʻuluaki [fuakava ]ʻae ngaahi ngaue fakaʻeiki, pea mo e potu tapu kuo ʻo māmani.

Now, under the first covenant, there were ordinances of ministration, and a worldly sanctuary.

2 He naʻe langa ʻae ʻuluaki fale fehikitaki; ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tuʻunga maama, mo e ʻaiʻanga meʻa, mo e mā ʻoe ʻao; ʻaia naʻe ui ko e potu tapu.

For in the first tabernacle which was erected, there was the candlestick, and the table and the bread of the presence; and this was called the Sanctuary.

3 Pea naʻe ʻi loto ʻi hono ua ʻoe puipui, ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻaia ʻoku ui ko e potu toputapu;

But the inner tabernacle, which was within the second veil, was called the Holy of Holies.

4 Naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ipu koula ʻaiʻanga afi, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava naʻe ʻuʻufi takatakai ʻaki ʻae koula, ʻaia naʻe ai ʻae ipu koula naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mana, mo e tokotoko ʻo ʻElone naʻe moto, mo e ongo maka lafalafa ʻoe fuakava;

And there were in it the golden censer and the ark of the covenant, which was all over laid with gold; and in it were the golden urn which contained the manna and the rod of Aaron which sprouted, and the tables of the covenant;

5 Pea naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi ai ʻae ongo selupi ʻoe nāunau naʻe fakamalu ʻae nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa; ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te mau faʻa fakamatala kotoa pē eni.

and over it were the cherubim of glory, which overshadowed the mercy seat. But there is not time to speak particularly of each of the things which were so arranged.

6 Pea kuo pehē hono teuteu ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni, pea hū maʻuaipē ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ki he ʻuluaki fale fehikitaki, ʻo fai ai ʻenau ngaahi ngaue.

And into the outer tabernacle the priests, at all times, entered, and performed their ministration.

7 Ka ko hono ua, naʻe ngata ʻi he taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻo liunga taha pe, ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē, ka naʻe ʻikai taʻehatoto, ʻaia ne ne ʻatu maʻana, mo e fai hala ʻae kakai:

But into the interior tabernacle, once a year only, the high priest entered, with the blood which he offered for himself and for the sins of the people.

8 Ko e fakaʻilo eni ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, naʻe teʻeki ai ke fakahā ʻae hala ki he potu tapu, ʻi he kei tuʻu ʻae ʻuluaki fale fehikitaki:

And by this the Holy Spirit indicated, that the way to the holy places was not yet manifested, so long as the first tabernacle was standing:

9 ‌ʻAia ko e fakatātā ki he kuonga ko ia, pea naʻe ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki mo e ngaahi feilaulau, ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa fai ia ke fakahaohaoa ʻae loto ʻo ia naʻe fai ki ai;

and it was a symbol, for that time, during which oblation and sacrifices were offered that could not make perfect the conscience of him who offered them:

10 Ko e ngaahi meʻakai mo inu pe, mo e ngaahi fufulu kehekehe, mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni fakasino, naʻe fokotuʻu kaeʻoua ke hoko ʻae kuonga ʻoe fakafoʻou.

but they consisted only in food and drink, and in the ablutions of divers things; which were carnal ordinances, and were set up until the time of a reformation.

11 Ka ʻi he hoko mai ʻa Kalaisi, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ʻoe ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻe hoko, ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoku lahi hake mo haohaoa ʻaupito naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻaki ʻae nima, ko hono ʻuhinga, ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe māmani;

But the Messiah who came, was a High Priest of the good things which he wrought: and he entered into the great and perfect tabernacle, which was not made with hands and was not of these created things.

12 Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi he toto ʻoe fanga kosi mo e ʻuhikiʻi pulu, ʻa ʻene hū ʻo liunga taha pe ki he potu tapu, ka ʻi hono taʻataʻa ʻoʻona, kuo ne lavaʻi ʻae huhuʻi taʻengata. (aiōnios g166)

And he did not enter with the blood of goats and calves; but with the blood of himself, he entered once into the sanctuary, and obtained eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)

13 He kapau naʻe fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻae taʻemaʻa ki he fakamaʻa ʻoe sino, ʻi he luluku ʻaki ʻae toto ʻoe fanga pulu tangata mo e fanga kosi, mo e efu ʻoe pulu fefine:

For if the blood of goats and calves, with the ashes of a heifer, was sprinkled upon them that were defiled, and sanctified them as to the purification of their flesh;

14 E fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe fakamaʻa homou loto mei he ngaahi ngaue mate ʻe he taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisi, ʻaia naʻa ne feilaulau ʻaki ia taʻehanomele ʻi he Laumālie taʻengata ki he ʻOtua, ke mou tauhi ʻae ʻOtua moʻui? (aiōnios g166)

then how much more will the blood of the Messiah, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purge our conscience from dead works, so that we may serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)

15 Pea ko e meʻa eni kuo hoko ai ia ko e fakalaloa ʻoe fuakava foʻou, kae fai ʻi he pekia ʻae totongi ki he ngaahi angahala naʻe fai ʻi he ʻuluaki fuakava, pea maʻu ʻekinautolu kuo ui ʻae talaʻofa ʻoe nofoʻanga taʻengata. (aiōnios g166)

And for this reason he became the Mediator of the new covenant, that he might by his death be redemption, to them who had transgressed the first covenant; so that they, who are called to the eternal inheritance, might receive the promise. (aiōnios g166)

16 He ka ʻi ai ha fuakava, ʻoku totonu ke ʻi ai foki mo e mate ʻo ia ʻoku ne fakamoʻoni ʻae fuakava.

For where there is a testament, it indicateth the death of him who made it.

17 He ʻoku mālohi ʻae fuakava ko e hili ʻae mate: ka ʻi he kei moʻui ʻae fakamoʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito hano mālohi.

For it is valid, only of a deceased person; because it hath no use, so long as the maker of it liveth.

18 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai fakamoʻoni ʻae ʻuluaki [fuakava ]ka ʻi he toto pe.

Therefore also the first covenant was not confirmed without blood.

19 He kuo leaʻaki ʻe Mōsese ʻae fekau kotoa pē ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki he fono, pea toʻo ʻe ia ʻae toto ʻoe fanga ʻuhikiʻi pulu mo e fanga kosi, fakataha mo e vai, mo e fulufuluʻi sipi kulokula, mo e ʻisope, ʻo ne luluku ʻaki ʻae tohi, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē,

For when the whole ordinance had been propounded by Moses to all the people, according to the law; Moses took the blood of a heifer, and water, with scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled upon the books and upon all the people;

20 ‌ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e toto eni ʻoe fuakava ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.”

and said to them, This is the blood of the covenant which is enjoined by God.

21 Pea naʻa ne luluku foki ʻaki ʻae toto ʻae fale fehikitaki, mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻaki ʻae ngaue.

With that blood he also sprinkled upon the tabernacle, and upon all the vessels of ministration:

22 Pea kuo mei ʻosi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi hono fakamaʻa ʻaki ʻae toto ʻo fakatatau ki he fono; pea ka ʻikai lilingi ʻae toto ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamolemole.

because every thing, according to the law, is purified with blood: and without the shedding of blood, there is no remission.

23 Ko ia naʻe totonu ai ke fakamaʻa ʻaki eni ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ʻi he langi; ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻi he langi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ʻoku lelei lahi hake.

For it was necessary that these, the emblems of heavenly things, should be purified, with those things; but the heavenly things themselves, with sacrifices superior to them.

24 He naʻe ʻikai hū ʻa Kalaisi ki he potu tapu naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ʻae nima, [ʻaia ]ko e fakatātā [pe ]ki he moʻoni; ka ki he loto langi, ke ne fakahā eni ia ʻi he ʻao ʻae ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko kitautolu.

For the Messiah entered not into the sanctuary made with hands, which is the emblem of the true sanctuary: but he entered into heaven itself to appear in the presence of God for us.

25 Pea naʻe ʻikai foki ke ne feilaulau ʻaki ia ʻo liunga lahi, ʻo hangē ko e hū ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi ki he potu tapu ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē mo e toto kehe;

Neither was it necessary, that he should offer himself many times, as the high priest entered every year into the sanctuary, with blood not his own:

26 He ka ne pehē, Ta ʻe liunga lahi ʻene mamahi talu hono fakatupu ʻo māmani: ka ko eni, kuo ne fakahā ia ʻo tuʻo taha ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ke ne ʻave ʻae angahala ʻi he feilaulau ʻaki ia ʻe ia. (aiōn g165)

otherwise, he must have suffered many times, since the commencement of the world; but now in the end of the world, he hath once offered himself in a self-sacrifice, to abolish sin. (aiōn g165)

27 Pea hangē kuo pau ke mate ʻo tuʻo taha ʻae kakai, kae hili ia ko e fakamaau:

And, as it is appointed to men, that they must once die, and after their death is the judgment;

28 Pea pehē foki, kuo feilaulau ʻaki ʻa Kalaisi ʻo liunga taha, ke ne fua ʻae ngaahi hia ʻae tokolahi; pea ʻe fakahā ia ko hono liunga ua, kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻamanaki kiate ia, ki he fakamoʻui, ka ʻe ʻikai [ke ʻave ]ʻae angahala.

so also the Messiah was once offered; and, by himself, he immolated the sins of many: and a second time, without sins, will he appear for the life of them who expect him.
