¹Zvino chikuru chezvinhu zvatataura ndichochi: Tine mupristi mukuru wakadai wakagara kuruoko rwerudyi rwechigaro cheushe cheMukuru kumatenga,

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;

²mushumiri wenzvimbo tsvene, newetende rechokwadi rakadzikwa naIshe, kwete munhu.

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

³Nekuti mupristi mukuru umwe neumwe wakagadzwa kuti ape zvipo nezvibayiro; naizvozvo zvakafanira kuti ave nechaangabayirawo;

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.

⁴Nekuti dai aiva panyika, ungadai asina kuva mupristi, vapristi zvavaripo, vanobayira zvipo zvinoenderana nemurairo;

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,

⁵ivo vanoshumira mufananidzo nemumvuri wezvinhu zvekudenga, Mozisi sezvaakarairwa naMwari oda kugadzira tende; nekuti wakati: Chenjera kuti uite zvose nemufananidzo wawakaratidzwa mugomo.

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.)

⁶Asi zvino wakapiwa basa rakanyanyisa kunaka, sezvaari murevereri wesungano inopfuura pakunaka, yakasimbiswa pazvivimbiso zvinopfuura pakunaka.

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.

⁷Nekuti dai iya yekutanga yakanga isina chaingapomerwa, dai pasina nzvimbo yakatsvakirwa yechipiri.

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

⁸Nekuti achivapomera mhosva, unoti: Tarira, mazuva anovuya, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe, andichaita nawo sungano itsva neimba yaIsraeri, uye neimba yaJudha.

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;

⁹Kwete zvichienderana nesungano yandakaita nemadzibaba avo, pazuva randakabata ruoko rwavo kuti ndivabudise munyika yeEgipita; nekuti havana kurambira musungano yangu, neni ndikasava nehanya navo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe;

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.

¹⁰Nekuti iyi isungano yandichaita neimba yaIsraeri shure kwemazuva iwayo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe; ndichaisa mirairo yangu mumurangariro wavo, nemuhana dzavo ndichainyora, uye ndichava kwavari Mwari ivo vachava kwandiri vanhu;

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.

¹¹uye havangazodzidzisi umwe neumwe mumwe wake, kana umwe neumwe hama yake, achiti: Ziva Ishe; nekuti vose vachandiziva, kubva kumudukusa kusvikira kumukurusa wavo.

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.

¹²Nekuti ndichava netsitsi nekusarurama kwavo, nezvivi zvavo nezvakaipa zvavo handichazorangariri.

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

¹³Zvaanoti: Sungano itsva, yakasakadza yekutanga; zvino chosakara, chova chakare, choda kurova.

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