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,

¹Aga peaasi selles, millest siin räägitakse, on see: meil on selline ülempreester, kes on istunud Ausuuruse trooni paremale poole taevas,

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

²kes talitab pühamus ja tõelises lepingutelgis, mida ei ole püstitanud inimene, vaid Issand.

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;

³Iga ülempreester seatakse ju ohverdama ande ja ohvreid; seepärast on tingimata vaja, et temalgi oleks midagi ohverdada.

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,

⁴Kui ta nüüd oleks maa peal, siis ta ei olekski preester, sest siin on juba olemas neid, kes ohverdavad ande Seaduse järgi

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;`) —

⁵ja teenivad pühamus, mis on ainult taevase kuju ja vari. Moosest ju juhendati, kui ta hakkas valmistama telki: 'Vaata, et sa teed kõik selle kuju järgi, mida sulle näidati mäel!'

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,

⁶Nüüd on aga Jeesus saanud seda ülevama ameti, mida parema lepingu vahemees ta on, mis on seadustatud paremate tõotuste alusel.

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

⁷Sest kui esimene leping oleks olnud laitmatu, siis ei oleks otsitud kohta teisele.

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,

⁸Kuid tema ütleb neid laites: 'Vaata, päevad tulevad, ütleb Issand, mil ma sõlmin Iisraeli kojaga ja Juuda kojaga uue lepingu,

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, —

⁹mitte selle lepingu sarnase, mille ma tegin nende esiisadega tol päeval, kui ma nad kättpidi võtsin, et neid viia välja Egiptusemaalt; aga et nad ei jäänud minu lepingusse, siis minagi ei hoolinud neist, ütleb Issand.

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;

¹⁰Sest see leping, mille ma teen Iisraeli kojaga pärast neid päevi, ütleb Issand, on niisugune: ma annan oma seadused nende mõistusesse ja kirjutan need nende südamesse ja ma olen neile Jumalaks ja nemad saavad mulle rahvaks.

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,

¹¹Ja kunagi enam ei õpeta keegi oma kaaskodanikku ega keegi oma venda, öeldes: 'Tunne Issandat!', sest kõik tunnevad mind, nende pisikestest kuni suurteni,

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

¹²sest ma olen armuline nende ülekohtuste tegude vastu ja ei tuleta enam meelde nende patte.'

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

¹³Nimetades uut on ta esimese tunnistanud vananenuks. Aga mis vananeb ja raugastub, see on hääbumise äärel.
