1واما راس الكلام فهو ان لنا رئيس كهنة مثل هذا قد جلس في يمين عرش العظمة في السموات
1Now in the things which we are saying the chief 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,
2خادما للاقداس والمسكن الحقيقي الذي نصبه الرب لا انسان.
2a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
3لان كل رئيس كهنة يقام لكي يقدم قرابين وذبائح. فمن ثم يلزم ان يكون لهذا ايضا شيء يقدمه.
3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this [high priest] also have somewhat to offer.
4فانه لو كان على الارض لما كان كاهنا اذ يوجد الكهنة الذين يقدمون قرابين حسب الناموس
4Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are those who offer the gifts according to the law;
5الذين يخدمون شبه السماويات وظلها كما اوحي الى موسى وهو مزمع ان يصنع المسكن. لانه قال انظر ان تصنع كل شيء حسب المثال الذي اظهر لك في الجبل.
5who serve [that which is] a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned [of God] when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was showed thee in the mount.
6ولكنه الآن قد حصل على خدمة افضل بمقدار ما هو وسيط ايضا لعهد اعظم قد تثبّت على مواعيد افضل
6But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.
7فانه لو كان ذلك الاول بلا عيب لما طلب موضع لثان.
7For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second.
8لانه يقول لهم لائما هوذا ايام تأتي يقول الرب حين اكمّل مع بيت اسرائيل ومع بيت يهوذا عهدا جديدا.
8For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
9لا كالعهد الذي عملته مع آبائهم يوم امسكت بيدهم لاخرجهم من ارض مصر لانهم لم يثبتوا في عهدي وانا اهملتهم يقول الرب.
9Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10لان هذا هو العهد الذي اعهده مع بيت اسرائيل بعد تلك الايام يقول الرب اجعل نواميسي في اذهانهم واكتبها على قلوبهم وانا اكون لهم الها وهم يكونون لي شعبا.
10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people:
11ولا يعلّمون كل واحد قريبه وكل واحد اخاه قائلا اعرف الرب لان الجميع سيعرفونني من صغيرهم الى كبيرهم.
11And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.
12لاني اكون صفوحا عن آثامهم ولا اذكر خطاياهم وتعدياتهم في ما بعد.
12For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.
13فاذ قال جديدا عتق الاول. واما ما عتّق وشاخ فهو قريب من الاضمحلال
13In that he saith, A new [covenant] he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.
