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,

¹[Fampitahana ny fanompoam-pivavahana tao amin'ny tabernakely araka ny lalàn'i Mosesy sy ny any an-danitra] Ary amin'izany zavatra lazainay izany dia izao no fotony: Manana Mpisoronabe toy izany isika, dia Ilay efa mipetraka eo amin'ny ankavanan'ny seza fiandrianan'ny Avo Indrindra any an-danitra,

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

²Mpanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao amin'ny fitoerana masina sy ny tena tabernakely, izay naorin'ny Tompo, fa tsy olona.

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.

³Fa ny mpisoronabe rehetra dia tendrena hanatitra fanomezana sy fanatitra; ary amin'izany dia tsy maintsy mba manan-katerina koa Izy.

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;

⁴Koa raha etỳ ambonin'ny tany dia tsy mba ho mpisorona akory Izy, satria misy rahateo ireo manatitra ny fanomezana araka ny lalàna,

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

⁵dia ireo manao fanompoam-pivavahana amin'izay endrika sy aloky ny zavatra any an-danitra, tahaka ny natoron'Andriamanitra an'i Mosesy, rehefa hanao ny tabernakely izy; fa hoy Izy: "Tandremo mba hataonao araka ny endrika izay naseho taminao tao an-tendrombohitra ny zavatra rehetra" (Eks. 25.40).

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.

⁶Fa ankehitriny efa mahazo fanompoam-pivavahana tsara noho ny an'ireny Izy, dia araka ny nanaovana Azy ho Mpanalalana amin'ny fanekena tsara lavitra, izay natao tamin'ny teny fikasana tsara lavitra.

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

⁷Fa raha tsy nanan-tsiny izany fanekena voalohany izany, dia tsy mba nisy fitoerana hotadiavina ho an'ny faharoa.

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;

⁸Fa manome tsiny ny olona Izy manao hoe: "Indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, Izay hanaovako fanekena vaovao amin'ny taranak'isiraely sy ny taranak'i Joda,

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.

⁹Nefa tsy araka ny fanekena nataoko tamin'ny razany Tamin'ny andro nitantanako azy nitondra azy nivoaka avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta; Fa izy ireny tsy nitoetra tamin'ny fanekeko, Ary Izaho kosa dia tsy nitandrina azy, hoy Jehovah.

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.

¹⁰Fa izao no fanekena hataoko amin'ny taranak'isiraely, Rehefa afaka izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah: Dia hataoko ao an-tsainy ny lalàko, Sady hosoratako ao am-pony, Ary Izaho ho Andriamaniny, ary izy ho oloko;

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.

¹¹Ary samy tsy hampianatra ny namany sy ny rahalahiny avy izy, Na hanao hoe: Mahalalà an'i Jehovah; Fa samy hahalala Ahy avokoa izy rehetra Hatramin'ny kely indrindra ka hatramin'ny lehibe indrindra;

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

¹²Fa hamindra fo amin'ny tsi-fahamarinany Aho, Ary tsy hotsarovako intsony ny fahotany" (Jer. 31. 31-34).Amin'ny anaovany hoe "vaovao" dia nataony fa efa ela ny voalohany. Fa izay tratra ela sy mihantitra dia efa madiva ho levona.

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.

¹³Amin'ny anaovany hoe "vaovao" dia nataony fa efa ela ny voalohany. Fa izay tratra ela sy mihantitra dia efa madiva ho levona.
