< Hebrews 8 >
1 Nísinsin yìí, kókó ohun tí à ń sọ nìyí. Àwa ní irú olórí àlùfáà bẹ́ẹ̀, tí ó jókòó lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún ìtẹ́ Ọláńlá nínú àwọn ọ̀run,
And the sum concerning the things spoken of [is]: we have such a Chief Priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Greatness in the heavens,
2 Ìránṣẹ́ ibi mímọ́, àti ti àgọ́ tòótọ́, tí Olúwa pa, kì í ṣe ènìyàn.
a servant of the holy places, and of the true dwelling place, which the LORD set up, and not man,
3 Nítorí a fi olórí àlùfáà kọ̀ọ̀kan jẹ láti máa mú ẹ̀bùn wá láti máa rú ẹbọ, nítorí náà ó ṣe pàtàkì fún eléyìí náà láti ní nǹkan tí ó máa fi sílẹ̀.
for every chief priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, from where [it is] necessary for this One to also have something that He may offer;
4 Tí ó bá jẹ́ pé ó wà ní ayé ni, òun kì bá ti jẹ́ àlùfáà, nítorí pé àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó ń fi ẹ̀bùn sílẹ̀ ti wà bí òfin ṣe là á sílẹ̀.
for if, indeed, He were on earth, He would not be a priest (there being the priests who are offering the gifts according to the Law,
5 Àwọn ẹni tí ń jọ́sìn nínú pẹpẹ kan tí ó jẹ́ àpẹẹrẹ àti òjìji ohun tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run. Ìdí abájọ nìyí tí a fi kìlọ̀ fún Mose nígbà tí ó fẹ́ kọ́ àgọ́, nítorí ó wí pé, “Kíyèsí i, kí ìwọ kí ó ṣe wọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí àpẹẹrẹ wọn, ti a fi hàn ọ́ ni orí òkè.”
who to an example and shadow serve of the heavenly things, as Moses has been divinely warned, being about to construct the Dwelling Place, for, “See,” He says, “[that] you will make all things according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain”),
6 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí o ti gba iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ tí ó ni ọlá jù, níwọ̀n bí o ti jẹ pé alárinà májẹ̀mú tí o dára jù ní i ṣe, èyí tí a fi ṣe òfin lórí ìlérí tí o sàn jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ.
but now He has obtained a more excellent service, how much He is also mediator of a better covenant, which has been sanctioned on better promises,
7 Nítorí ìbá ṣe pé májẹ̀mú ìṣáájú nì kò ní àbùkù, ǹjẹ́ a kì bá ti wá ààyè fún èkejì.
for if that first were faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second.
8 Nítorí tí ó rí àbùkù lára wọn, ó wí pé, “Ìgbà kan ń bọ̀, ni Olúwa wí, tí Èmi yóò bá ilé Israẹli àti ilé Juda dá májẹ̀mú tuntun.
For finding fault, He says to them, “Behold, days come, says the LORD, and I will complete with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, a new covenant,
9 Kì í ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí májẹ̀mú tí mo ti bá àwọn baba baba wọn dá, nígbà tí mo fà wọ́n lọ́wọ́ láti mú wọn jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, nítorí wọn kò jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ sí májẹ̀mú mi èmi kò sì ta wọ́n nu, ni Olúwa wí.
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of My taking [them] by their hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt—because they did not remain in My covenant, and I did not regard them, says the LORD—
10 Nítorí èyí ni májẹ̀mú tí èmi yóò bá ilé Israẹli dá lẹ́yìn àwọn ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí, ni Olúwa wí. Èmi ó fi òfin mi sí inú wọn, èmi ó sì kọ wọ́n sí ọkàn wọn, èmi ó sì máa jẹ́ Ọlọ́run fún wọn, wọn ó sì máa jẹ́ ènìyàn fún mi.
because this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, says the LORD, giving My laws into their mind, and I will write them on their hearts, and I will be to them for a God, and they will be to Me for a people;
11 Olúkúlùkù kò ní tún máa kọ́ ara ìlú rẹ̀, tàbí olúkúlùkù arákùnrin rẹ̀, pé, ‘Mọ Olúwa,’ nítorí pé gbogbo wọn ni yóò mọ̀ mí, láti kékeré dé àgbà.
and they will not each teach his neighbor, and each his brother, saying, Know the LORD, because they will all know Me—from the small one of them to the great one of them,
12 Nítorí pé èmi ó ṣàánú fún àìṣòdodo wọn, àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn àti àìṣedéédéé wọn lèmi ki yóò sì rántí mọ́.”
because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and I will remember their sins and their lawlessnesses no more.”
13 Ní èyí tí ó wí pé, májẹ̀mú títún ó ti sọ ti ìṣáájú di ti láéláé. Ṣùgbọ́n èyí tí ó ń di i ti láéláé tí ó sì ń gbó, o múra àti di asán.
In the saying “new,” He has made the first obsolete, and what is becoming obsolete and growing old [is] near disappearing.
