¹Now even a first [covenant] had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, [a sanctuary] of this world.

¹ Sappa sintina, daahir a gonda Irikoy saajaw goy farillayaŋ, a gonda mo nangu hanno, ndunnya wane dumi.

¹Now indeed even the first TR adds “tabernacle” covenant had ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.

²For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein [were] the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the Holy place.

² Zama i na hukum* sintina soola kaŋ se i ga ne Nangu Hanna, kaŋ ra gonda fitilla suntulo, da taablo, da buuru jisantey.

²For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lampstand, the table, and the show bread; which is called the Holy Place.

³And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;

³ Kosaray taafa jine mo, Nangora go no kaŋ se i ga ne Nango kaŋ ga hanan gumo.

³After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

⁴having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

⁴ A ra gonda wura feema, dugu tonyaŋ wano, da sappa daŋyaŋ sundurko kaŋ i daabu nangu kulu nda wura. Woodin ra wura kusu go no kaŋ ra gonda Manna*, Haruna* goobo go no kaŋ zay ka zaada, sappa walhẽy mo go no.

⁴having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

⁵and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.

⁵ Sundurko din boŋ mo darza ciiti malayka himandey go no, kaŋ yaŋ goono ga te sasabandiyaŋo do se bi. Sohõ iri sinda daama iri m'i sanney te afo-fo.

⁵and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can’t speak now in detail.

⁶Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services;

⁶ To, za kaŋ hayey din go soolante ya-cine, alfagey goono ga furo nangu sintina ra alwaati kulu zama ngey ma saajaw goyo toonandi.

⁶Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,

⁷but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people:

⁷ Amma ihinkanta ra, alfaga beero hinne no ga furo sorro folloŋ jiiro ra. Nga mo si furo kala nd'a ga kande kuri kaŋ a ga salle nga bumbo se, da jama taaley se kaŋ i te jaŋ-ka-bayyaŋ ra.

⁷but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.

⁸the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing;

⁸ Biya Hanna goono ga cabe woodin gaa kaŋ fonda mana bangay jina kaŋ ga to Nangu Hanna do, waati kulu kaŋ hukum sintina goyo ga hagu.

⁸The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing;

⁹which [is] a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect,

⁹ Woodin mo misa no sohõ alwaato se, kaŋ ga cabe kaŋ i goono ga nooyaŋey da sargayey salle kaŋ yaŋ si hin ka sududukwa bine lasaabo timmandi.

⁹which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshipper perfect;

¹⁰[being] only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

¹⁰ Zama i manti hay fooyaŋ no kala ŋwaari da haŋyaŋ hari da nyun-nyunyaŋ waani-waani, kaŋ ga ti farillayaŋ gaaham hinne se. I n'i daŋ mo hala hanseyaŋ alwaato ma to.

¹⁰being only (with meats and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

¹¹But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

¹¹ Amma waato kaŋ Almasihu kaa ka ciya alfaga beeri hari hanney kaŋ yaŋ kaa boŋ, a furo hukumo ra kaŋ gonda beeray ka bisa _hukum sintina|_, kaŋ kubay ka bis'a mo. Hukumo kaŋ ra Almasihu furo, boro kambe man'a te, manti takayaŋ wo wane no.

¹¹But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

¹²nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption.

¹² Manti nda hincin wala handayze kuri no a furo nd'a, amma nga bumbo kuro _kaŋ a dooru|_ do no a furo. A furo sorro folloŋ lok! Nangu Hanna ra, za kaŋ a du _iri se|_ hal abada fansa.

¹²nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

¹³For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiled, sanctify unto the cleanness of the flesh:

¹³ Zama hincin da yeeji kuri, da handayze boosu kaŋ i ga say-say borey kaŋ ziibi boŋ g'i fay waani k'i hanandi gaaham do.

¹³For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh:

¹⁴how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

¹⁴ Sanku fa binde Almasihu kuro g'araŋ bine lasaabey hanandi goy buukoy _kaŋ sinda nafa|_ gaa, hal araŋ ma goy Irikoy Fundikoono se. Zama Almasihu na nga boŋ sarga Irikoy se taali kulu si. A n'a te mo Biya kaŋ go no duumi do.

¹⁴how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

¹⁵And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

¹⁵ Woodin sabbay se Almasihu ya alkawli tajo sasabandiko no, hala borey kaŋ yaŋ i ce ma du hal abada tubo alkawlo toonandiyaŋ, za kaŋ buuyaŋ fo te zunubey fansayaŋo se kaŋ yaŋ _borey te|_ sappa sintina cire.

¹⁵For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

¹⁶For where a testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him that made it.

¹⁶ Zama naŋ kaŋ tubuyaŋ tira go, tilas kala boro kaŋ n'a te ma bu jina.

¹⁶For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.

¹⁷For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth.

¹⁷ Tubuyaŋ tira wo, kala buuyaŋ banda no a gonda gaabi, zama a sinda gaabi waati kaŋ a teekwa gonda fundi.

¹⁷For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.

¹⁸Wherefore even the first [covenant] hath not been dedicated without blood.

¹⁸ Baa sappa sintina mo, i man'a sinji kaŋ manti nda kuri.

¹⁸Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.

¹⁹For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses unto all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

¹⁹ Zama waato kaŋ Musa na asariya* lordey kulu ci jama kulu se, kal a na handayze da hincin kuri sambu, da hari, da feeji hamni silli ciray, da hissop* kambe. A na kuro say-say tira bumbo da jama kulu gaa,

¹⁹For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

²⁰saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you-ward.

²⁰ ka ne: «Woone ya sappa kaŋ Irikoy lordi araŋ se kuro no.»

²⁰saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” Exodus 24:8

²¹Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he sprinkled in like manner with the blood.

²¹ Yaadin cine mo no, a na kuri say-say hukumo* da saajaw jinayey kulu gaa.

²¹Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood.

²²And according to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

²² Boro ga hin ka ne kaŋ i ga hayey baayaŋ kulu hanandi nda kuri asariya boŋ. Da kuri mana dooru mo, yaafa si no.

²²According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

²³It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

²³ Yaadin gaa, tilas no i ma beene hayey misey hanandi yaadin. Amma beene hayey bumbey, kal i m'i hanandi nda sargayyaŋ kaŋ bisa afey din booriyaŋ.

²³It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

²⁴For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:

²⁴ Zama Almasihu mana furo Nangu Hanna kaŋ i te da boro kambe ra, kaŋ ti cimi-cimo wano himandi. Amma beena bumbo ra no a furo, zama nga ma kay Irikoy jine sohõ iri se.

²⁴For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

²⁵nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;

²⁵ A mana furo mo hal a ma nga boŋ salle sorro boobo, sanda mate kaŋ cine alfaga beero ga furo Nango kaŋ ga hanan gumo ra jiiri ka kaa jiiri ka konda kuri kaŋ manti nga bumbo wane.

²⁵nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,

²⁶else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

²⁶ Zama nda yaadin no, doŋ a ga tilas Almasihu ma taabi sorro boobo za ndunnya sinjiyaŋ waate. Amma sohõ, sorro folloŋ lok! alwaatey bananta ra a bangay ka nga boŋ salle sargay zama nga ma zunubi kaa.

²⁶or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

²⁷And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this [cometh] judgment;

²⁷ Sanda mate kaŋ i waadu borey se i ma bu sorro folloŋ, woodin banda mo kala ciiti,

²⁷Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

²⁸so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation.

²⁸ yaadin mo no Almasihu na nga boŋ salle sargay sorro folloŋ zama a ma boro boobo zunubey sambu. A ga ye ka bangay koyne mo sorro hinkanta, manti zunubi ciine ra, amma faaba no a ga kande borey kaŋ yaŋ goono g'a batu se.

²⁸so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, Isaiah 53:13 will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.
