¹ Sanno kaŋ iri goono ga ci kaajo neeya: iri gonda alfaga beeri woone dumi kaŋ goro Koy Beero karga kambe ŋwaaro gaa, beena ra.

¹Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

² Saajawko no Nangu Hanna nda hukumo* cimi-cimo se, nga kaŋ Rabbi sinji, manti Adam-ize bo.

²a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

³ Zama i ga alfaga beeri kulu daŋ hal a ma nooyaŋey da sargayey salle. Woodin sabbay se no a ga tilas _alfaga beeri|_ woone mo ma bara nda hay fo kaŋ a ga du ka salle.

³For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

⁴ D'a go ne ndunnya ra, a si ciya baa alfaga, za kaŋ borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga nooyaŋey salle asariya* fonda boŋ go no.

⁴For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

⁵ Borey din goono ga saajaw te hayey se kaŋ yaŋ ga ti beena ra waney misa d'i biya, mate kaŋ Irikoy kaseeti Musa gaa, waato kaŋ a soola nga ma hukumo cina. Zama Irikoy ne: «Ma laakal ka hay kulu te deedando boŋ kaŋ i cabe ni se tondo ra.»

⁵who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, “See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.” Exodus 25:40

⁶ Amma sohõ Almasihu du saajaw goy kaŋ bisa afa din wano, za kaŋ a ciya sasabandiko alkawlo se kaŋ ga boori ka bisa. Woodin i n'a tabbatandi da alkawliyaŋ kaŋ bisa ijiney din.

⁶But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.

⁷ Zama nda sintinay wano sinda taali, doŋ i s'a barmay da ihinkanta.

⁷For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

⁸ Amma zama Irikoy na taali gar i do, a ne: «Guna, jirbiyaŋ ga kaa, yaa no Rabbi ci: kaŋ yaŋ ra ay ga alkawli taji sambu Israyla* kunda da Yahuda kunda se.

⁸For finding fault with them, he said, “Behold, the days come,” says the Lord, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

⁹ Manti sappa kaŋ dumo ay te d'i kaayey, hano kaŋ hane ay n'i kambe di k'i kaa Misira laabo ra. Zama i mana ay sappa gaay, ay mo man'i saalu. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.

⁹not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.

¹⁰ Amma woone ga ti alkawlo kaŋ ay ga sambu Israyla kunda se jirbey din banda, Yaa no Rabbi ci: Ay g'ay lordey* daŋ i laakaley ra, Ay g'i hantum mo i biney ra. Ay ga ciya i Irikoyo, ngey mo ga ciya ay jama.

¹⁰“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

¹¹ Boro kulu si nga gorokasino wala nga nya-izo dondonandi koyne, ka ne: ‹Ma Rabbi bay!› Zama ikulu g'ay bay gumo, ikayna gaa, ibeeri gaa.

¹¹They will not teach every man his fellow citizen, TR reads “neighbor” instead of “fellow citizen” and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from their least to their greatest.

¹² Zama ay ga suuji cabe i taaley se, ay si ye ka fongu i zunubey gaa mo koyne.»

¹²For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.” Jeremiah 31:31-34

¹³ Za kaŋ a ne alkawli taji no -- yaadin gaa a na sintina wano ciya izeeno nooya. Haŋ kaŋ zeen, a gay mo, a maan darayyaŋ.

¹³In that he says, “A new covenant,” he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
