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

¹Now a summary of the things of which we are speaking [is], We have such a one high priest who has sat down on [the] right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens;

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

²minister of the holy places and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord has pitched, [and] not man.

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

³For every high priest is constituted for the offering both of gifts and sacrifices; whence it is needful that this one also should have something which he may offer.

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

⁴If then indeed he were upon earth, he would not even be a priest, there being those who offer the gifts according to the law,

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!'

⁵(who serve the representation and shadow of heavenly things, according as Moses was oracularly told [when] about to make the tabernacle; for See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern which has been shewn to thee in the mountain.)

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

⁶But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.

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

⁷For if that first was faultless, place had not been sought for a second.

⁸Kuid tema ütleb neid laites: 'Vaata, päevad tulevad, ütleb Issand, mil ma sõlmin Iisraeli kojaga ja Juuda kojaga uue lepingu,

⁸For finding fault, he says to them, Behold, days come, saith the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant as regards the house of Israel, and as regards the house of Juda;

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.

⁹not according to the covenant which I made to their fathers in [the] day of my taking their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because *they* did not continue in my covenant, and *I* did not regard them, saith [the] Lord.

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.

¹⁰Because this [is] the covenant that I will covenant to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their mind, I will write them also upon their hearts; and I will be to them for God, and *they* shall be to me for people.

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

¹¹And they shall not teach each his fellow-citizen, and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; because all shall know me in themselves, from [the] little one [among them] unto [the] great among them.

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

¹²Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.

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

¹³In that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged [is] near disappearing.
