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,

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

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

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

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.

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

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;

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

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.

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!'

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.

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

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

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

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;

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 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.

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.

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:

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 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.

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

¹²For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.

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

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.

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