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

¹Koa na dia ny fanekena voalohany aza dia nisy fitsipika ny amin'ny fanompoam-pivavahana, ary nisy ny fitoerany masina momba ny etỳ an-tany.

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;

²Fa nisy tabernakely voavoatra: ny efitra voalohany, ilay atao hoe "ny fitoerana masina", izay nisy ny fanaovan-jiro sy ny latabatra ary ny mofo aseho.

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

³Ary ao anatin'ny efitra lamba faharoa no nisy ny tabernakely izay atao hoe "ny fitoerana masina indrindra,"

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;

⁴izay nisy lovia volamena fandoroana ditin-kazo manitra sy ny fiaran'ny fanekena, izay voapetaka takela-bolamena avokoa; ary tao anatin'io nisy ny vilany volamena, izay nitoeran'ny mana, sy ny tehin'i Arona izay nitsimoka, ary ny vato fisaky ny fanekena; [ Na: alitara]

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

⁵ary teo ambonin'io koa ny kerobima nisy ny voninahitra, izay nanaloka ny rakotra fanaovam-panavotana,- tsy azonay lazaina tsirairay ireo ankehitriny.

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

⁶Ary rehefa voavoatra toy izany ireo zavatra ireo, dia miditra mandrakariva eo amin'ny tabernakely voalohany ny mpisorona hanefa ny fanompoam-pivavahana.

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:

⁷Fa ny faharoa kosa no idiran'ny mpisoronabe irery ihany indray mandeha isan-taona; ary izy aza dia tsy miditra, raha tsy mitondra rà, izay ateriny noho ny amin'ny tenany sy ny fahadisoana nataon'ny olona amin'ny tsi-fahalalana;

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;

⁸koa izany no anambaran'ny Fanahy Masina fa tsy mbola voaseho ny lalana mankany amin'ny fitoerana masina indrindra, raha mbola ao ihany ny tabernakely voalohany;

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,

⁹fanoharana izany amin'izao andro ankehitriny izao, ary araka izany no anaterana fanomezana sy fanatitra, izay tsy mahatanteraka ny mpivavaka ny amin'ny fieritreretana

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

¹⁰(fa naman'ny zavatra hohanina sy ny zavatra hosotroina sy ny fanasana samy hafa), dia fitsipika araka ny nofo, voatendrv hatao mandra-pihavin'ny andro fanovana.

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,)

¹¹Fa Kristy kosa, rehefa tonga ho Mpisoronabe ny amin'ny zavatra tsara ho avy, dia namaky teo amin'ny tabernakely lehibe lavitra sady tsara lavitra, izay tsy nataon-tanana, izany hoe, tsy isan'izao zavatra ary izao,

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.

¹²ary tsy mba nitondra ran'osilahy sy ran-janak'omby Izy, fa ny ran'ny tenany, dia niditra indray mandeha ho any amin'ny fitoerana masina ka nahazo fanavotana mandrakizay.

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

¹³Fa raha ny ran'osilahy sy ny ran'ombilahy ary ny lavenom-bantotr'ombivavy afafy amin'izay voaloto no manamasina hatramin'ny fanadiovana ny nofo,

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?

¹⁴mainka fa ny ran i Kristy, Izay nanatitra ny tenany tsy manan-tsiny ho an'Andriamanitra, tamin'ny alalan'ny Fanahy mandrakizay, no hahadio ny fieritreretanareo ho afaka amin'ny asa maty mba hanompoanareo an'Andriamanitra velona.

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.

¹⁵Ary noho izany dia Mpanalalana amin'izay fanekena vaovao Izy, rehefa niaritra fahafatesana ho fanavotana amin'ny fahotana natao tamin'ny fanekena voalohany, mba hahazoan'izay voantso ny teny fikasana, dia ny lova mandrakizay.

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

¹⁶Fa raha misy didim-pananana, dia teny foana izany, raha tsy efa maty izay nanao azy. [ Na: fanekena]

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

¹⁷Fa mafy ny didim-pananana, rehefa tonga ny fahafatesana; fa tsy mafy akory izany, raha mbola velona ilay nanao azy. [ Na: fanekena]

¹⁸Whence neither the first was inaugurated without blood.

¹⁸Koa na dia ny fanekena voalohany aza dia tsy nohamasinina raha tsy nisy rà.

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,

¹⁹Fa rehefa voalazan'i Mosesy tamin'ny vahoaka rehetra ny didy rehetra araka ny lalàna, dia nalainy ny ran-janak'omby sy ny ran'osilahy mbamin'ny rano sy ny volon'ondry jaky sy ny hysopa ka nafafiny tamin'ny boky sy ny vahoaka rehetra;

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

²⁰dia hoy izy; Ity no ran'ny fanekena izay nandidian'Andriamanitra anareo (Eks. 24. 8).

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

²¹Ary ny tabernakely sy ny fanaka rehetra enti-manao fanompoam-pivavahana dia nofafazany rà toy izany koa.

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

²²Ary saiky diovina amin'ny rà avokoa ny zavatra rehetra araka ny lalàna; fa raha tsy misy rà alatsaka, dia tsy misy famelan-keloka.

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.

²³Koa dia tsy maintsy nodiovina tamin'ireny ny tandindon'ny zavatra any an-danitra, fa ny tenan'ny zavatra any an-danitra kosa dia tamin'izay fanatitra tsara noho ireny.

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:

²⁴Fa Kristy tsy mba niditra tao amin'izay fitoerana masina nataon-tanana, izay tandindon'ny tena fitoerana masina, fa ho any an-danitra tokoa, mba hiseho eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra ankehitriny ho antsika;

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;

²⁵ary tsy niditra Izy mba hanatitra ny tenany matetika, tahaka ny mpisoronabe miditra ao amin'ny fitoerana masina isan-taona mitondra ny ran'ny zavatra hafa;

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.

²⁶fa raha izany, dia tsy maintsy ho nijaly matetika Izy hatrizay nanaovana izao tontolo izao; fa ankehitriny dia efa naseho indray mandeha tamin'izao andro farany izao Izy raha hanafaka ny ota tamin'ny nanaterany ny tenany.

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

²⁷Ary tahaka ny nanendrena ny olona ny ho faty indray mandeha, ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hisy fitsarana,dia tahaka izany koa Kristy, rehefa natolotra indray mandeha hitondra ny otan'ny maro, dia hiseho fanindroany, tsy amin'ota, amin'izay miandry Azy, ho famonjena.

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.

²⁸dia tahaka izany koa Kristy, rehefa natolotra indray mandeha hitondra ny otan'ny maro, dia hiseho fanindroany, tsy amin'ota, amin'izay miandry Azy, ho famonjena.
