Hebrews 8 Pros Hebraioin 8
1Kefalaiem de epi tei legorōntei, toiouton echanō archierevon, hos kathizata en dexa tou thronou tau megalōsunau en toi ouranoi,The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2teiu hagieiu leitourgos kai tau skēnau tau alēthinau, han pēgata tos kurios, ⸀ouk anthrōpos.and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man. 3pantos gar archierevos eis tem prosferarō dōreim tē kai thusiain katastēotō; hothen anankaiem echarō tinem kai houton hem prosferateia.And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer. 4ei men ⸀oun ate epi gēau, oude an ate hierevos, ⸀arōntoiu toiu prosferarōntoiu kata ⸀nomon teim dōreim;Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law. 5hotinois hupodeigme kai skia latreualō teiu epouraneiu, kathōs chrēmatizotē Mōusos mellarōntos epitelarō tan skēnan, Horasōr gar, fēatō, poiasi panteim kata ton tupon ton deikiranton si en te ore;The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” 6⸀nuni de diaforoterau tuchatē leitourgiau, hose kai kreittonau atō diathēkau mesitos, hotinas epi kreittonai epangeliai nomothetotē.Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.
7Ei gar tas prōtas ekeinas ate amemptas, ouk an deuterau zētote topos;For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second. 8memforōntos gar ⸀autoin legatō; Idou hēmerais ercholō, legatō kurios, kai suntelami epi ton oikon Israēl kai epi ton oikon Ioudou diathēkan kainan,But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 9ouk kata tan diathēkan han poiama toi patroi autoiu en hēmera epilaberantou mu tau cheirau autoiu exagara autoin ek gēau Aiguptau, hoti autois ouk emmenala en ta diathēka mu, kamis amelama autoiu, legatō kurios.It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord. 10hoti houtas tas diathēkas han diatithemi to oiko Israēl meta tain hēmerain ekeinain, legatō kurios, dōarōntos nomoin mu eis tan dianoian autoiu, kai epi kardiain autoiu epigrafami autoin, kai emi autoi eis theon kai autois eli mi eis laon.For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people. 11kai ouk mē didaskaleia hekastos ton politon autou kai hekastos ton adelfon autou, legarōntos; Gnōskasar ton kurion, hoti pantois oidali min apo ⸀mikrou heōs megou autoiu.No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. 12hoti hilaos emi tai adikiai autoiu, kai taiu hamartaiu ⸀autoiu ouk mē mimnēskimeia ēti.For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.” 13en te legarō Kainan palaiatē tan prōtan, tem de palaiorōntem kai gēraskarōntem engus afanismou.By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
