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

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 Ntwamu no akyi a wɔfrɛ hɔ Kronkron mu Kronkron no,

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

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.

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 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.

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 Saa na wɔahyehyɛ nneɛma no. Da biara na asɔfo no kɔ ɔdan a edi kan no mu kɔyɛ wɔn adwuma;

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

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 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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)

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 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 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 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)

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 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)

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 Sɛ nsamansew bi wɔ hɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ wotumi kyerɛ sɛ onipa a ɔhyɛɛ saa nsamansew no awu.

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

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

18 Ɛno nti na apam a edi kan no wɔnam mogya so na wɔhyɛɛ no den no.

Therefore also the first covenant was not confirmed 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 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 kae se, “Eyi ne mogya a ɛsɔw apam a Onyankopɔn ahyɛ mo sɛ munni so no ano.”

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

21 Saa ara na Mose petee mogya guu ntamadan no ne nneɛma a wɔde som no nyinaa so ne no.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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 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 Afe biara Yudafo Sɔfopanyin de aboa mogya kɔ Kronkronbea hɔ. Nanso Kristo amfa ne ho amma mpɛn bebree saa.

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 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, 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 Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara wu prɛko pɛ, na ɛno akyi Onyankopɔn abu no atɛn.

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