Hebrifo 9
1 Na apam a edi kan no wɔ mmara a wɔnam so som. Saa ara nso na na wɔwɔ baabi a nnipa asiesie a wɔsom.
Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.
2 Wosii ntamadan a wɔatwa mu abien. Ɔdan a edi kan no a wɔfrɛ no Kronkronbea no na kaneadua, ɔpon ne brodo a wɔatew ho a wɔde ma Onyankopɔn no wɔ.
A tabernacle was prepared. In its first room were the lampstand, the table, and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.
3 Ntwamu no akyi a wɔfrɛ hɔ Kronkron mu Kronkron no,
Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,
4 na sika aduhuamyɛfo afɔremuka ne Apam Adaka a wɔde sika adura ho nyinaa wɔ. Saa adaka no mu na na sika pɔre a mana ne Aaron pema a ɛfefɛwee ne apam bopon no wɔ.
containing the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. Inside the ark were the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
5 Adaka no so hɔ nso na anuonyam Kerubim a wɔatrɛw wɔn ntaban mu akata adaka no nkataso no so si. Nanso yɛrentumi nka nneɛma yi ho asɛm nkɔ akyiri mprempren.
Above the ark were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
6 Saa na wɔahyehyɛ nneɛma no. Da biara na asɔfo no kɔ ɔdan a edi kan no mu kɔyɛ wɔn adwuma;
When everything had been prepared in this way, the priests entered regularly into the first room to perform their sacred duties.
7 nanso na Ɔsɔfopanyin no nko ara na ɔwɔ ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ pɛnkoro pɛ afe biara. Ɔde mogya a ɔde bɔ ɔno ankasa ne ne nkurɔfo mfomso ho afɔre ka ne ho kɔ.
But only the high priest entered the second room, and then only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.
8 Honhom Kronkron no nam saa ɔkwan yi so kyerɛ yɛn sɛ, wonnya mmuee ɔkwan a wɔde kɔ Kronkron mu Kronkron hɔ wɔ bere a Ntamadan no ne mu nneɛma da so wɔ hɔ.
By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.
9 Ɛyɛ mfonitwa ma nnɛ bere yi. Ɛkyerɛ sɛ akyɛde ne mmoa a na wɔde bɔ afɔre ma Onyankopɔn no rentumi mma wɔn a wɔsom no koma mu nyɛ kronkron.
It is an illustration for the present time, because the gifts and sacrifices being offered were unable to cleanse the conscience of the worshiper.
10 Wɔde nnuan, anonne ne nneɛma ahorow a wɔde dwira wɔn ho na edi dwuma no. Eyi yɛ ɔhonam fam nhyehyɛe a ɛyɛ adwuma kosi bere a nhyehyɛe foforo bɛba.
They consist only in food and drink and special washings—external regulations imposed until the time of reform.
11 Nanso Kristo aba dedaw sɛ Ɔsɔfopanyin ama nneɛma pa a yɛwɔ dedaw yi. Ntamadan a ɔsom wɔ mu no so, na edi mu kyɛn dedaw no. Ɛnyɛ nnipa na wɔyɛe. Afei nso emfi adebɔ yi mu.
But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come, He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made by hands and is not a part of this creation.
12 Bere a Kristo kɔɔ ntamadan no mu a ɔkɔɔ Kronkronbea hɔ pɛnkoro no, wamfa mmirekyi ne anantwi mogya na ɛkɔbɔɔ afɔre. Mmom, ɔno ara de ne mogya na ɛbɔɔ afɔre de gyee nkwa a enni awiei maa yɛn. (aiōnios g166)
He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)
13 Na sɛ mmirekyi ne anantwinini mogya ne anantwibere nsõ a wɔde dwira wɔn a wɔn ho agu fi tew wɔn ho kɔ ɔhonam ahofi mu a,
For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that their bodies are clean,
14 mpɛn ahe na Kristo a ɔnam Honhom so, de ne ho bɔɔ afɔre a ɛho nni dɛm maa Onyankopɔn no mogya rentew mo ho mfi nnwuma bɔne mu, na monkɔsom Onyankopɔn a ɔte ase no ana? (aiōnios g166)
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God! (aiōnios g166)
15 Eyi nti na Kristo yɛ apam foforo no ntamgyinafo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn a Onyankopɔn afrɛ wɔn no benya nhyira a enni awiei sɛnea Onyankopɔn ahyɛ bɔ no. Eyi aba saa, efisɛ owu bi asi a egye nnipa fi wɔn bɔne a wɔyɛɛ bere a na wɔwɔ apam a edi kan no mu no mu. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. (aiōnios g166)
16 Sɛ nsamansew bi wɔ hɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ wotumi kyerɛ sɛ onipa a ɔhyɛɛ saa nsamansew no awu.
In the case of a will, it is necessary to establish the death of the one who made it,
17 Sɛ onipa a ɔhyɛɛ nsamansew no te ase a, saa nsamansew no nka hwee. Bere a wawu no na ɛka biribi.
because a will does not take effect until the one who made it has died; it cannot be executed while he is still alive.
18 Ɛno nti na apam a edi kan no wɔnam mogya so na wɔhyɛɛ no den no.
That is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.
19 Nea edi kan no, Mose kaa mmaransɛm no nyinaa, sɛnea ɛwɔ mmara no mu no kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Nantwi mma mogya ne nsu ne kuntu kɔkɔɔ ne sommɛ na ɔde petee nwoma mmobɔwee no ne nnipa no nyinaa so
For when Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people,
20 kae se, “Eyi ne mogya a ɛsɔw apam a Onyankopɔn ahyɛ mo sɛ munni so no ano.”
saying, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”
21 Saa ara na Mose petee mogya guu ntamadan no ne nneɛma a wɔde som no nyinaa so ne no.
In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.
22 Nokware, sɛnea mmara no kyerɛ no, ɛkame ayɛ sɛ mogya na etumi tew ade nyinaa ho, na saa ara nso na gye sɛ mogya ahwie agu ansa na bɔnefakyɛ aba.
According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23 Saa ɔkwan yi ara so na wɔnam ma biribiara a ɛyɛ ɔsoro nhwɛsode no ho tew. Nanso, ɔsoro nneɛma no ankasa de, afɔre a eye kyɛn eyinom na wɔde tew ho.
So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 Efisɛ Kristo ankɔ kronkronbea a nnipa de wɔn nsa na ayɛ a ɛyɛ ade kann ho nhwɛso no hɔ. Ɔkɔɔ ɔsoro ankasa na osi yɛn anan mu wɔ Onyankopɔn anim hɔ.
For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God.
25 Afe biara Yudafo Sɔfopanyin de aboa mogya kɔ Kronkronbea hɔ. Nanso Kristo amfa ne ho amma mpɛn bebree saa.
Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.
26 Sɛ ɔyɛɛ saa a, anka efi adebɔ mfiase no, obehu amane mpɛn bebree. Mmom, waba prɛko a nneɛma nyinaa reba awiei, na ɔnam afɔre a ɔde ne ho bɔe no so apepa bɔne. (aiōn g165)
Otherwise, Christ would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself. (aiōn g165)
27 Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara wu prɛko pɛ, na ɛno akyi Onyankopɔn abu no atɛn.
Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment,
28 Saa ara na wɔde Kristo nso bɔɔ afɔre baako pɛ de gyee dodow no ara wɔ wɔn bɔne mu. Ɔbɛba ne mprenu so a ɔremmegye nnebɔneyɛfo na mmom, ɔbɛba abegye wɔn a wɔretwɛn no no nkwa.
so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him.
