¹ፊተኛይቱም ደግሞ የአገልግሎት ስርዓትና የዚህ ዓለም የሆነው መቅደስ ነበራት።

¹The first therefore also indeed had ordinances of service, and the sanctuary, a worldly one.

²የመጀመሪያይቱ ድንኳን ተዘጋጅታ ነበርና፥ በእርስዋም ቅድስት በምትባለው ውስጥ መቅረዙና ጠረጴዛው የመስዋዕቱም ኅብስት ነበረባት፤

²For a tabernacle was set up; the first, in which [were] both the candlestick and the table and the exposition of the loaves, which is called Holy;

³ከሁለተኛውም መጋረጃ ወዲያ ቅድስተ ቅዱሳን የምትባለው ድንኳን ነበረች፥

³but after the second veil a tabernacle which is called Holy of holies,

⁴በዚያም ውስጥ የወርቅ ማዕጠንት ነበረ ሁለንተናዋም በወርቅ የተለበጠች የኪዳን ታቦት፤ በእርስዋም ውስጥ መና ያለባት የወርቅ መሶብና የበቀለች የአሮን በትር የኪዳኑም ጽላት ነበሩ፥

⁴having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant, covered round in every part with gold, in which [were] the golden pot that had the manna, and the rod of Aaron that had sprouted, and the tables of the covenant;

⁵በላይዋም ማስተስሪያውን የሚጋርዱ የክብር ኪሩቤል ነበሩ፤ ስለ እነዚህም ስለ እያንዳንዳቸው ልንናገር አሁን አንችልም።

⁵and above over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which it is not now [the time] to speak in detail.

⁶ይህም እንደዚህ ተዘጋጅቶ ሳለ፥ ካህናት አገልግሎታቸውን እየፈጸሙ ዘወትር በፊተኛይቱ ድንኳን ይገቡባታል፤

⁶Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests enter at all times, accomplishing the services;

⁷በሁለተኛይቱ ግን ሊቀ ካህናት ብቻውን በዓመት አንድ ጊዜ ይገባባታል፥ እርሱም ሰለ ራሱና ስለ ሕዝቡ ስሕተት የሚያቀርበውን ደም ሳይዝ አይገባም፤

⁷but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people:

⁸ፊተኛይቱም ድንኳን በዚህ ገና ቆማ ሳለች፥ ወደ ቅድስት የሚወስደው መንገድ ገና እንዳልተገለጠ መንፈስ ቅዱስ ያሳያል።

⁸the Holy Spirit shewing this, that the way of the [holy of] holies has not yet been made manifest while as yet the first tabernacle has [its] standing;

⁹ይህም ለአሁኑ ጊዜ ምሳሌ ነው፥ እንደዚህም መባና መስዋዕት ይቀርባሉ፤ እነዚህም እስከ መታደስ ዘመን ድረስ የተደረጉ፥ ስለ ምግብና ስለ መጠጥም ስለ ልዩ ልዩ መታጠብም የሚሆኑ የሥጋ ሥርዓቶች ብቻ ናቸውና የሚያመልከውን በህሊና ፍጹም ሊያደርጉት አይችሉም።

⁹the which [is] an image for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices, unable to perfect as to conscience him that worshipped, are offered,

¹¹ነገር ግን ክርስቶስ ይመጣ ዘንድ ላለው መልካም ነገር ሊቀ ካህናት ሆኖ፥ በምትበልጠውና በምትሻለው በእጆችም ባልተሠራች ማለት ለዚህ ፍጥረት ባልሆነች ድንኳን፥

¹⁰[consisting] only of meats and drinks and divers washings, ordinances of flesh, imposed until [the] time of setting things right.

¹²የዘላለምን ቤዛነት አግኝቶ አንድ ጊዜ ፈጽሞ ወደ ቅድስት በገዛ ደሙ ገባ እንጂ በፍየሎችና በጥጆች ደም አይደለም።

¹¹But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,)

¹³የኮርማዎችና የፍየሎች ደም በረከሱትም ላይ የተረጨ የጊደር አመድ ሥጋን ለማንጻት የሚቀድሱ ከሆኑ፥

¹²nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the [holy of] holies, having found an eternal redemption.

¹⁴ነውር የሌለው ሆኖ በዘላለም መንፈስ ራሱን ለእግዚአብሔር ያቀረበ የክርስቶስ ደም እንዴት ይልቅ ሕያውን እግዚአብሔርን ልታመልኩ ከሞተ ሥራ ሕሊናችሁን ያነጻ ይሆን?

¹³For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh,

¹⁵ስለዚህም የፊተኛው ኪዳን ሲጸና ሕግን የተላለፉትን የሚቤዥ ሞት ስለ ሆነ፥ የተጠሩት የዘላለምን ርስት የተስፋ ቃል እንዲቀበሉ እርሱ የአዲስ ኪዳን መካከለኛ ነው።

¹⁴how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship [the] living God?

¹⁶ኑዛዜ ያለ እንደሆነ የተናዛዡን ሞት ማርዳት የግድ ነውና፤

¹⁵And for this reason he is mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

¹⁷ሰው ሲሞት ኑዛዜው ይጸናልና፥ ተናዛዡ በሕይወት ሲኖር ግን ከቶ አይጠቅምም።

¹⁶(For where [there is] a testament, the death of the testator must needs come in.

¹⁸ስለዚህም ፊተኛው ኪዳን እንኳ ያለ ደም አልተመረቀም።

¹⁷For a testament [is] of force when men are dead, since it is in no way of force while the testator is alive.)

¹⁹ሙሴም ትእዛዛትን ሁሉ እንደ ሕጉ ለሕዝቡ ሁሉ ከተናገረ በኋላ፥ የጥጆችንና የፍየሎችን ደም ከውኃና ከቀይ የበግ ጠጕር ከሂሶጵም ጋር ይዞ። እግዚአብሔር ያዘዘላችሁ የኪዳን ደም ይህ ነው ብሎ በመጽሐፉና በሕዝቡ ሁሉ ላይ ረጨው።

¹⁸Whence neither the first was inaugurated without blood.

²¹እንዲሁም በድንኳኒቱና በማገልገያው ዕቃ ሁሉ ደምን ረጨ።

¹⁹For every commandment having been spoken according to [the] law by Moses to all the people; having taken the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

²²እንደ ሕጉም ከጥቂቶች በቀር ነገር ሁሉ በደም ይነጻል፥ ደምም ሳይፈስ ስርየት የለም።

²⁰saying, This [is] the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined to you.

²³እንግዲህ በሰማያት ያሉትን የሚመስለው ነገር በዚህ ሊነጻ እንጂ በሰማያት ያሉቱ ራሳቸው ከእርሱ ይልቅ በሚበልጥ መስዋዕት ሊነጹ የግድ ነበረ።

²¹And the tabernacle too and all the vessels of service he sprinkled in like manner with blood;

²⁴ክርስቶስ በእጅ ወደ ተሰራች፥ የእውነተኛይቱ ምሳሌ ወደ ምትሆን ቅድስት አልገባምና፥ ነገር ግን በእግዚአብሔር ፊት ስለ እኛ አሁን ይታይ ዘንድ ወደ እርስዋ ወደ ሰማይ ገባ።

²²and almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and without blood-shedding there is no remission.

²⁵ሊቀ ካህናትም በየዓመቱ የሌላውን ደም ይዞ ወደ ቅድስት እንደሚገባ፥ ራሱን ብዙ ጊዜ ሊያቀርብ አልገባም፤

²³[It was] necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.

²⁶እንዲህ ቢሆንስ፥ ዓለም ከተፈጠረ ጀምሮ ብዙ ጊዜ መከራ ሊቀበል ባስፈለገው ነበር፤ አሁን ግን በዓለም ፍጻሜ ራሱን በመሠዋት ኃጢአትን ሊሽር አንድ ጊዜ ተገልጦአል።

²⁴For the Christ is not entered into holy places made with hand, figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:

²⁷ለሰዎችም አንድ ጊዜ መሞት ከእርሱ በኋላም ፍርድ እንደ ተመደበባቸው፥

²⁵nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own;

²⁸እንዲሁ ክርስቶስ ደግሞ፥ የብዙዎችን ኃጢአት ሊሸከም አንድ ጊዜ ከተሰዋ በኋላ፥ ያድናቸው ዘንድ ለሚጠባበቁት ሁለተኛ ጊዜ ያለ ኃጢአት ይታይላቸዋል።

²⁶since he had [then] been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for [the] putting away of sin by his sacrifice.

²⁷And forasmuch as it is the portion of men once to die, and after this judgment;

²⁸thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation.
