¹For the law, having a shadow of the coming good things, not the image itself of the things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually yearly, perfect those who approach.

¹¶ I te mea ko to te ture he atarangi no nga mea pai e puta ana mai i muri, ehara i te ahua pu o aua mea, e kore e whai mana i aua patunga tapu e whakaeketia tonutia ana e ratou i tenei tau, i tenei tau, e tino tika ai te hunga e whakatata ana.

²Since, would they not indeed have ceased being offered, on account of the worshippers once purged having no longer any conscience of sins?

²Penei e kore ranei e mutu te whakaeke? me i oti hoki te hunga nana taua karakia te mea kia ma, kua kore o ratou mahara ki nga hara?

³But in these [there is] a calling to mind of sins yearly.

³I aua patunga tapu ia e hokihoki ana te mahara ki nga hara i ia tau, i ia tau.

⁴For blood of bulls and goats [is] incapable of taking away sins.

⁴E kore hoki e tau ma nga toto o nga puru, o nga koati e whakakahore nga hara.

⁵Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body.

⁵Na reira i a ia e haere mai ana ki te ao, ka mea ia, Kihai i matenuitia e koe te patunga tapu me te whakahere, kua rite mai i a koe he tinana moku.

⁶Thou tookest no pleasure in burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin.

⁶Kihai koe i ahuareka ki nga tahunga tinana ki nga whakahere hara:

⁷Then I said, Lo, I come (in [the] roll of the book it is written of me) to do, O God, thy will.

⁷¶ Katahi ahau ka mea atu, Tenei ahau te haere atu nei, kei roto i te upoko o te pukapuka te tuhituhinga moku, ki te mea i tau i pai ai, e te Atua.

⁸Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (which are offered according to the law);

⁸I tana meatanga i mua ake, Kihai koe i matenui ki te patunga tapu, ki te whakahere, ki nga tahunga tinana, ki nga whakahere hara, kahore ano hoki ou ahuareka mai, he mea nei e tapaea ana i runga i te ture;

⁹then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first that he may establish the second;

⁹Katahi ia ka mea, Tenei ahau te haere atu nei ki te mea i tau i pai ai, e te Atua. E tangohia ana e ia te tuatahi, kia whakaturia ai e ia te tuarua.

¹⁰by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹⁰Na taua pai nei i oti ai tatou te whakatapu, he meatanga na te tapaenga atu kotahi o te tinana o Ihu Karaiti.

¹¹And every priest stands daily ministering, and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

¹¹Na, ko nga tohunga katoa, e tu ana ratou, e minita ana i tenei ra, i tenei ra, he maha ano hoki a ratou whakaekenga atu i aua patunga tapu ra ano, e kore rawa nei e tau hei tango i nga hara:

¹²But *he*, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at [the] right hand of God,

¹²Ko tenei ia, kotahi nei tana patunga tapu i whakaeke atu ai mo nga hara, noho tonu atu i te ringa matau o te Atua;

¹³waiting from henceforth until his enemies be set [for the] footstool of his feet.

¹³I muri nei he tatari tana kia waiho ra ano ona hoariri hei takahanga mo ona waewae.

¹⁴For by one offering he has perfected in perpetuity the sanctified.

¹⁴Kotahi nei hoki tana whakahere, a tika tonu i a ia ake ake te hunga ka oti te whakatapu.

¹⁵And the Holy Spirit also bears us witness [of it]; for after what was said:

¹⁵Hei kaiwhakaatu ano te Wairua Tapu mo tenei ki a tatou: i muri mai i tana kiinga mai,

¹⁶This [is] the covenant which I will establish towards them after those days, saith [the] Lord: Giving my laws into their hearts, I will write them also in their understandings;

¹⁶Ko te kawenata tenei e whakaritea e ahau ki a ratou i muri i aua ra, e ki ana te Ariki, ka hoatu e ahau aku ture ki o ratou ngakau, ka tuhituhia hoki e ahau ki o ratou hinengaro; a ka mea ano ia,

¹⁷and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.

¹⁷E kore hoki e maharatia e ahau o ratou hara, o ratou kino a mua ake.

¹⁸But where there [is] remission of these, [there is] no longer a sacrifice for sin.

¹⁸Na, ki te murua enei, kahore he whakahere mo nga hara i muri iho.

¹⁹Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entering into the [holy of] holies by the blood of Jesus,

¹⁹¶ Na, e oku teina, ka ai nei nga toto o Ihu hei take e maia ai tatou te tomo ki te tino wahi tapu;

²⁰the new and living way which he has dedicated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh,

²⁰Hei ara hou mo tatou, ara hei ara ora, he mea whakatapu nana, e tika atu ana na te arai, ara na tona kikokiko;

²¹and [having] a great priest over the house of God,

²¹A, i te mea he nui to tatou tohunga mo te whare o te Atua;

²²let us approach with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, sprinkled as to our hearts from a wicked conscience, and washed as to our body with pure water.

²²Kia whakatata atu tatou, i runga i te ngakau pono, i te whakapono e tino u ana, he mea tauhiuhi te ngakau, kia kore ai te hinengaro kino, he mea horoi ano hoki te tinana ki te wai marama.

²³Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he [is] faithful who has promised;)

²³Kia mau ta tatou whakaae ki te mea e tumanakohia atu nei, kei ngaueue; he pono hoki ta te kaiwhakaari mai;

²⁴and let us consider one another for provoking to love and good works;

²⁴Kia whai whakaaro ano tatou tetahi ki tetahi, kia whakaohokia te aroha me nga mahi pai:

²⁵not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom [is] with some; but encouraging [one another], and by so much the more as ye see the day drawing near.

²⁵Kei mahue te huihui i a tatou ano, kei pera me te hanga a etahi; engari me whakahauhau tetahi i tetahi: kia nui rawa ano hoki i te mea ka kite koutou ka tata te ra.

²⁶For where we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins,

²⁶Ki te hara hoki tatou i muri iho i to tatou whiwhinga ki te matauranga ki te pono, kahore atu hoki he patunga tapu i mahue mo nga hara;

²⁷but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and heat of fire about to devour the adversaries.

²⁷Engari ka tatari ahua mataku ki te whakawa, ki te riri kino ano na te ahi, e whakangaromia ai nga hoariri.

²⁸Any one that has disregarded Moses' law dies without mercy on [the testimony of] two or three witnesses:

²⁸Ko te tangata i takahi i te ture a Mohi kihai i tohungia, ka mate i runga i te kupu a nga kaiwhakaatu tokorua, tokotoru ranei:

²⁹of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and esteemed the blood of the covenant, whereby he has been sanctified, common, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

²⁹Ki to koutou whakaaro, e kore ranei e tika kia rahi ake te whiu mo te tangata i takahia ai te Tama a te Atua, i meinga ai hei mea noa nga toto o te kawenata i whakatapua ai ia, a whakaiti ana i te Wairua o te aroha noa?

³⁰For we know him that said, To me [belongs] vengeance; *I* will recompense, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall judge his people.

³⁰E matau ana hoki tatou na wai tenei kupu, Maku te rapu utu; maku te hoatu utu, e ai ta te Ariki: me tenei ano, E whakawa te Ariki mo tana iwi.

³¹[It is] a fearful thing falling into [the] hands of [the] living God.

³¹He mea mataku te taka ki roto ki nga ringaringa o te Atua ora.

³²But call to mind the earlier days in which, having been enlightened, ye endured much conflict of sufferings;

³²Engari kia mahara ki nga ra o mua, i a koutou i whakamaramatia ra, he nui noa atu nga rauhanga a te mate, i whakaririka kau na koutou;

³³on the one hand, when ye were made a spectacle both in reproaches and afflictions; and on the other, when ye became partakers with those who were passing through them.

³³Ko tetahi wahi, i a koutou i meinga e nga tawainga, e nga tukinotanga hei mea matakitaki; ko tetahi wahi, i a koutou i meinga hei hoa mo te hunga i peratia.

³⁴For ye both sympathised with prisoners and accepted with joy the plunder of your goods, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better substance, and an abiding one.

³⁴I mamae tahi hoki koutou me te hunga i te herehere, i hari hoki ki te pahuatanga o o koutou taonga, i mahara hoki tera atu he taonga mo koutou, he mea pai ake, he mea pumau tonu.

³⁵Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense.

³⁵Na, kaua e whakarerea to koutou maia, he rahi hoki tona utu.

³⁶For ye have need of endurance in order that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

³⁶Ko te mea hoki hei matenuitanga ma koutou he manawanui; kia oti ai i a koutou te mahi ta te Atua i pai ai, e riro tonu ai i a koutou nga mea i whakaaria mai ra.

³⁷For yet a very little while he that comes will come, and will not delay.

³⁷Potopoto kau ake hoki, a ka tae mai tenei e haere mai nei, e kore ano e whakaroa.

³⁸But the just shall live by faith; and, if he draw back, my soul does not take pleasure in him.

³⁸Ma te whakapono ia e ora ai te tangata tika: a ki te hoki tetahi ki muri, e kore toku wairua e ahuareka ki a ia.

³⁹But *we* are not drawers back to perdition, but of faith to saving [the] soul.

³⁹Otiia ehara tatou i te hunga e hoki ana ki muri, ki te whakangaromanga, engari no te hunga e whakapono ana, a ora ana te wairua.
