Hebrews 9 Pros Hebraioin 9
1Echate men ⸀oun tas prōtas dikaiōmeim latreiau tem tē hagiem kosmikem.Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. 2skēnas gar kataskeuazita tas prōtas en ha tas tē luchnas kai tas trapezas kai tas prothesias toiu artoiu, hotinas legotō Hagieim;A tabernacle was prepared. In its first room were the lampstand, the table, and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place. 3meta de tem deuterem katapetasmem skēnas tas legorōntas ⸂Hagieim Hagieiu,⸃Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place, 4chrusouem echarōntas thumiatēriem kai tan kibōtan tau diathēkau perikaluptorēntan pantothen chrusie, en ha stamnas chrusouas echarōntas tem manna kai tas rabdas Aarōn tas blastarantas kai tais plakais tau diathēkau,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. 5huperanō de autau Cheroubeim doxau kataskiazarōnteim tem hilastēriem; peri heiu ouk atō nun legarō kata merem.Above the ark were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
6Houteiu de houtōs kataskeuazorēnteiu, eis men tan prōtan skēnan dia pantou eiseialō tois hierevois tain latreiain epitelarōntois,When everything had been prepared in this way, the priests entered regularly into the first room to perform their sacred duties. 7eis de tan deuteran hapax tou eniautou monos tos archierevos, ouk chōris haimeu, hem prosferatō huper heautou kai teiu tou laou agnoēmeiu,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. 8houtem dēlarōnteu teu pneumeu teu hagieu, mēpō fanerorē tan teiu hagieiu hodan ēti tau prōtau skēnau echarōntau stasian,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. 9hotinas parabolas eis ton kairon ton enstēarēnton, kata ⸀han dōreim tē kai thusiais prosferolō mē dunorōntais kata suneidēsian teleiara ton latreuarōnton,It is an illustration for the present time, because the gifts and sacrifices being offered were unable to cleanse the conscience of the worshiper. 10monem epi brōmei kai pomei kai diaforoi baptismoi, ⸀dikaiōmeim sarkau mechris kairou diorthōsiau epikeiorōnteim.They consist only in food and drink and special washings — external regulations imposed until the time of reform.
11Christos de paragenerantos archierevos teiu ⸀generanteiu agatheiu dia tau megoterau kai teleioterau skēnau ouk cheiropoiētau, houtem atō ouk houtau tau ktisiau,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. 12oude dia haimeu tragoiu kai moschoiu dia de teu idieu haimeu, eiserchata efapax eis teim hagieim, aiōnian lutrōsian heuriskerantos.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. 13ei gar tem haimem ⸂tragoiu kai tauroiu⸃ kai spodas damaliau rantizarōntas toin koinorēntoin hagiazatō pros tan tau sarkau katharotan,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, 14pose mallon tem haimem tou Christou, hos dia pneumeu aiōnieu heauton prosferata amōmon to theo, katharizati tan suneidēsian ⸀nu apo nekreiu ergeiu eis tem latreuarō theo zōarōnto.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!
15Kai dia houtem diathēkau kainau mesitos atō, hopōs thanatou generantou eis apolutrōsian taiu epi ta prōta diathēka parabasiaiu tan epangelian labaleia tois kalorēntois tau aiōniau klēronomiau.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. 16hopou gar diathēkas, thanaton anankas ferorō tou diatitherantou;In the case of a will, it is necessary to establish the death of the one who made it, 17diathēkas gar epi nekroi bebaias, epei ⸀mēpote ischuatō hote zōatō tos diatitherantos.because a will does not take effect until the one who made it has died; it cannot be executed while he is still alive. 18hothen oude tas prōtas chōris haimeu enkainizotē;That is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. 19lalirantau gar pantau entolau kata ⸀ton nomon hupo Mōusou panto to lao, labarantos tem haimem toiu ⸀moschoiu meta hudeu kai erieu kokkineu kai hussōpau autem tē tem bibliem kai panton ton laon rantizata,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, 20legarōntos; Houtem tem haimem tau diathēkau hau enteleta pros vin tos theos;saying, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.” 21kai tan skēnan de kai panteim teim skeveim tau leitourgiau te haime homoiōs rantizata.In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship. 22kai schedōs en haime panteim katharizotō kata ton nomon, kai chōris haimatekchusiau ouk genotō afesias.According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23Anankas oun teim men hupodeigmeim teiu en toi ouranoi houtei katharizorō, auteim de teim epouraneim kreittonai thusiai para houtain.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. 24ouk gar eis cheiropoiēteim ⸂eiserchata hagieim⸃ Christos, antitupeim teiu alēthineiu, alla eis auton ton ouranon, nun emfanizira te prosōpe tou theou huper nu;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. 25oude hina pollakis prosferateiō heauton, hōsper tos archierevos eiserchotō eis teim hagieim kata eniauton en haime allotrie,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. 26epei date auton pollakis paschara apo katabolau kosmou; ⸀nuni de hapax epi sunteleia toiu aiōnoiu eis athetēsian ⸀hamartau dia tau thusiau autou fanerotē.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. 27kai kata hosem apokeiotō toi anthrōpoi hapax apothnēskara, meta de houtem krisias,Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28houtōs kai tos Christos, hapax prosferirantos eis tem polloiu anaferara hamartain, ek deuterou chōris hamartau horiti toi auton apekdechorōntoi eis sōtērēan.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.
