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

¹Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

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

²a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

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

³For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

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

⁴For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

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

⁵who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, “See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.” Exodus 25:40

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

⁶But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.

⁷ፊተኛው ኪዳን ነቀፋ ባይኖረው፥ ለሁለተኛው ስፍራ ባልተፈለገም ነበር።

⁷For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

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

⁸For finding fault with them, he said, “Behold, the days come,” says the Lord, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

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

⁹not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.

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

¹⁰“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

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

¹¹They will not teach every man his fellow citizen, TR reads “neighbor” instead of “fellow citizen” and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from their least to their greatest.

¹²ዓመፃቸውን እምራቸዋለሁና፥ ኃጢአታቸውንም ደግሜ አላስብም።

¹²For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.” Jeremiah 31:31-34

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

¹³In that he says, “A new covenant,” he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
