¹And the sum concerning the things spoken of [is]: we have such a chief priest, who did sit down at the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens,

¹ከተናገርነውም ዋና ነገሩ ይህ ነው፤ በሰማያት በግርማው ዙፋን ቀኝ የተቀመጠ እንዲህ ያለ ሊቀ ካህናት አለን፤

²of the holy places a servant, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord did set up, and not man,

²እርሱም የመቅደስና የእውነተኛይቱ ድንኳን አገልጋይ ነው፥ እርስዋም በሰው ሳይሆን በጌታ የተተከለች ናት።

³for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is appointed, whence [it is] necessary for this one to have also something that he may offer;

³ሊቀ ካህናት ሁሉ መባንና መሥዋዕትን ሊያቀርብ ይሾማልና፤ ስለዚህም ለዚህ ደግሞ የሚያቀርበው አንዳች ሊኖረው የግድ ነው።

⁴for if, indeed, he were upon earth, he would not be a priest — (there being the priests who are offering according to the law, the gifts,

⁴እንግዲህ በምድር ቢኖርስ፥ እንደ ሕግ መባን የሚያቀርቡት ስላሉ፥ ካህን እንኳ ባልሆነም፤

⁵who unto an example and shadow do serve of the heavenly things, as Moses hath been divinely warned, being about to construct the tabernacle, for `See (saith He) thou mayest make all things according to the pattern that was shewn to thee in the mount;`) —

⁵እነርሱም ሙሴ ድንኳኒቱን ሊሠራ ሳለ እንደ ተረዳ፥ ለሰማያዊ ነገር ምሳሌና ጥላ የሚሆነውን ያገለግላሉ። በተራራው እንደ ተገለጠልህ ምሳሌ ሁሉን ታደርግ ዘንድ ተጠንቀቅ ብሎት ነበርና።

⁶and now he hath obtained a more excellent service, how much also of a better covenant is he mediator, which on better promises hath been sanctioned,

⁶አሁን ግን በሚሻል ተስፋ ቃል በተመሠረተ በሚሻል ኪዳን ደግሞ መካከለኛ እንደሚሆን በዚያ ልክ እጅግ የሚሻል አገልግሎት አግኝቶአል።

⁷for if that first were faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second.

⁷ፊተኛው ኪዳን ነቀፋ ባይኖረው፥ ለሁለተኛው ስፍራ ባልተፈለገም ነበር።

⁸For finding fault, He saith to them, `Lo, days come, saith the Lord, and I will complete with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, a new covenant,

⁸እነርሱን እየነቀፈ ይላቸዋልና። እነሆ፥ ከእስራኤል ቤትና ከይሁዳ ቤት ጋር አዲስ ኪዳን የምገባበት ወራት ይመጣል ይላል ጌታ፤

⁹not 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, saith the Lord, —

⁹ከግብፅ አገር አወጣቸው ዘንድ እጃቸውን በያዝሁበት ቀን ከአባቶቻቸው ጋር እንደገባሁት ኪዳን አይደለም፤ እነርሱ በኪዳኔ አልጸኑምና፥ እኔም ቸል አልኋቸው ይላል ጌታ።

¹⁰because this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

¹⁰ከዚያ ወራት በኋላ ከእስራኤል ቤት ጋር የምገባው ቃል ኪዳን ይህ ነውና ይላል ጌታ፤ ሕጌን በልቡናቸው አኖራለሁ በልባቸውም እጽፈዋለሁ፥ እኔም አምላክ እሆንላቸዋለሁ እነርሱም ሕዝብ ይሆኑልኛል።

¹¹and they shall not teach each his neighbour, and each his brother, saying, Know thou the Lord, because they shall all know Me from the small one of them unto the great one of them,

¹¹እያንዳንዱም ጐረቤቱን እያንዳንዱም ወንድሙን። ጌታን እወቅ ብሎ አያስተምርም ከታናሹ ጀምሮ እስከ ታላቁ ድረስ ሁሉ ያውቁኛልና።

¹²because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will remember no more;` —

¹²ዓመፃቸውን እምራቸዋለሁና፥ ኃጢአታቸውንም ደግሜ አላስብም።

¹³in the saying `new,` He hath made the first old, and what doth become obsolete and is old [is] nigh disappearing.

¹³አዲስ በማለቱ ፊተኛውን አስረጅቶአል፤ አሮጌና ውራጅ የሆነውስ ሊጠፋ ቀርቦአል።
