इब्रानियों 9

1The former indeed had also justifications of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

2For there was a tabernacle made the first, wherein were the candlesticks, and the table, and the setting forth of loaves, which is called the holy.

3And after the second veil, the tabernacle, which is called the holy of holies:

4Having a golden censer, and the ark of the testament covered about on every part with gold, in which was a golden pot that had manna, and the rod of Aaron, that had blossomed, and the tables of the testament.

5And over it were the cherubims of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: of which it is not needful to speak now particularly.

6Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests indeed always entered, accomplishing the offices of sacrifices.

7But into the second, the high priest alone, once a year: not without blood, which he offereth for his own, and the people’s ignorance:

8The Holy Ghost signifying this, that the way into the holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the former tabernacle was yet standing.

9Which is a parable of the time present: according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered, which can not, as to the conscience, make him perfect that serveth, only in meats and in drinks,

10And divers washings, and justices of the flesh laid on them until the time of correction.

11But Christ, being come an high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, that is, not of this creation:

12Neither by the blood of goats, or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption.

13For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh:

14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?

15And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death, for the redemption of those transgressions, which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

16For where there is a testament, the death of the testator must of necessity come in.

17For a testament is of force, after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the testator liveth.

18Whereupon neither was the first indeed dedicated without blood.

19For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

20Saying: This is the blood of the testament, which God hath enjoined unto you.

21The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the ministry, in like manner, he sprinkled with blood.

22And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood: and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

23It is necessary therefore that the patterns of heavenly things should be cleansed with these: but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24For Jesus is not entered into the holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us.

25Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holies, every year with the blood of others:

26For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the world: but now once at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the destruction of sin, by the sacrifice of himself.

27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment:

28So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many; the second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation.

1Habuit quidem et prius justificationes culturæ, et Sanctum sæculare.

2Tabernaculum enim factum est primum, in quo erant candelabra, et mensa, et propositio panum, quæ dicitur Sancta.

3Post velamentum autem secundum, tabernaculum, quod dicitur Sancta sanctorum:

4aureum habens thuribulum, et arcam testamenti circumtectam ex omni parte auro, in qua urna aurea habens manna, et virga Aaron, quæ fronduerat, et tabulæ testamenti,

5superque eam erant cherubim gloriæ obumbrantia propitiatorium: de quibus non est modo dicendum per singula.

6His vero ita compositis, in priori quidem tabernaculo semper introibant sacerdotes, sacrificiorum officia consummantes:

7in secundo autem semel in anno solus pontifex non sine sanguine, quem offert pro sua et populi ignorantia:

8hoc significante Spiritu Sancto, nondum propalatam esse sanctorum viam, adhuc priore tabernaculo habente statum:

9quæ parabola est temporis instantis: juxta quam munera, et hostiæ offeruntur, quæ non possunt juxta conscientiam perfectum facere servientem, solummodo in cibis, et in potibus,

10et variis baptismatibus, et justitiis carnis usque ad tempus correctionis impositis.

11Christus autem assistens pontifex futurorum bonorum, per amplius et perfectius tabernaculum, non manufactum, id est, non hujus creationis:

12neque per sanguinem hircorum aut vitulorum, sed per proprium sanguinem introivit semel in Sancta, æterna redemptione inventa.

13Si enim sanguis hircorum et taurorum, et cinis vitulæ aspersus inquinatos sanctificat ad emundationem carnis:

14quanto magis sanguis Christi, qui per Spiritum Sanctum semetipsum obtulit immaculatum Deo, emundabit conscientiam nostram ab operibus mortuis, ad serviendum Deo viventi?

15Et ideo novi testamenti mediator est: ut morte intercedente, in redemptionem earum prævaricationum, quæ erant sub priori testamento, repromissionem accipiant qui vocati sunt æternæ hæreditatis.

16Ubi enim testamentum est, mors necesse est intercedat testatoris.

17Testamentum enim in mortuis confirmatum est: alioquin nondum valet, dum vivit qui testatus est.

18Unde nec primum quidem sine sanguine dedicatum est.

19Lecto enim omni mandato legis a Moyse universo populo, accipiens sanguinem vitulorum et hircorum cum aqua, et lana coccinea, et hyssopo, ipsum quoque librum, et omnem populum aspersit,

20dicens: Hic sanguis testamenti, quod mandavit ad vos Deus.

21Etiam tabernaculum et omnia vasa ministerii sanguine similiter aspersit.

22Et omnia pene in sanguine secundum legem mundantur: et sine sanguinis effusione non fit remissio.

23Necesse est ergo exemplaria quidem cælestium his mundari: ipsa autem cælestia melioribus hostiis quam istis.

24Non enim in manufacta Sancta Jesus introivit exemplaria verorum: sed in ipsum cælum, ut appareat nunc vultui Dei pro nobis:

25neque ut sæpe offerat semetipsum, quemadmodum pontifex intrat in Sancta per singulos annos in sanguine alieno:

26alioquin oportebat eum frequenter pati ab origine mundi: nunc autem semel in consummatione sæculorum, ad destitutionem peccati, per hostiam suam apparuit.

27Et quemadmodum statutum est hominibus semel mori, post hoc autem judicium:

28sic et Christus semel oblatus est ad multorum exhaurienda peccata: secundo sine peccato apparebit exspectantibus se, in salutem.

1Certainly, the former also had the justifications of worship and a holy place for that age.

2For a tabernacle was made at first, in which were the lampstand, and the table, and the bread of the Presence, which is called Holy.

3Then, beyond the second veil, was the tabernacle, which is called the Holy of Holies,

4having a golden censer, and the ark of the testament, covered all around and on every part with gold, in which was a golden urn containing manna, and the rod of Aaron which had blossomed, and the tablets of the testament.

5And over the ark were the Cherubim of glory, overshadowing the propitiatory. There is not enough time to speak about each of these things.

6Yet truly, once such things were placed together, in the first part of the tabernacle, the priests were, indeed, continually entering, so as to carry out the duties of the sacrifices.

7But into the second part, once a year, the high priest alone entered, not without blood, which he offered on behalf of the neglectful offenses of himself and of the people.

8In this way, the Holy Spirit is signifying that the way to what is most holy was not yet made manifest, not while the first tabernacle was still standing.

9And this is a parable for the present time. Accordingly, those gifts and sacrifices that are offered are not able, as concerns the conscience, to make perfect those things that serve only as food and drink,

10as well as the various washings and justices of the flesh, which were imposed upon them until the time of correction.

11But Christ, standing as the High Priest of future good things, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, one not made by hand, that is, not of this creation,

12entered once into the Holy of Holies, having obtained eternal redemption, neither by the blood of goats, nor of calves, but by his own blood.

13For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the ashes of a calf, when these are sprinkled, sanctify those who have been defiled, in order to cleanse the flesh,

14how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the Holy Spirit has offered himself, immaculate, to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, in order to serve the living God?

15And thus he is the Mediator of the new testament, so that, by his death, he intercedes for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament, so that those who have been called may receive the promise of an eternal inheritance.

16For where there is a testament, it is necessary for the death of the one who testifies to intervene.

17For a testament is confirmed by death. Otherwise, it as yet has no force, as long as the one who testifies lives.

18Therefore, indeed, the first was not dedicated without blood.

19For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to the entire people, he took up the blood of calves and goats, with water and with scarlet wool and hyssop, and he sprinkled both the book itself and the entire people,

20saying: “This is the blood of the testament which God has commanded for you.”

21And even the tabernacle, and all the vessels for the ministry, he similarly sprinkled with blood.

22And nearly everything, according to the law, is to be cleansed with blood. And without the shedding of blood, there is no remission.

23Therefore, it is necessary for the examples of heavenly things to be cleansed, just as, indeed, these things were. Yet the heavenly things are themselves better sacrifices than these.

24For Jesus did not enter by means of holy things made with hands, mere examples of the true things, but he entered into Heaven itself, so that he may appear now before the face of God for us.

25And he did not enter so as to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters into the Holy of Holies each year, with the blood of another.

26Otherwise, he would need to have suffered repeatedly since the beginning of the world. But now, one time, at the consummation of the ages, he has appeared in order to destroy sin though his own sacrifice.

27And in the same manner as it has been appointed for men to die one time, and after this, to be judged,

28so also Christ was offered, one time, in order to empty the sins of so many. He shall appear a second time without sin, for those who await him, unto salvation.
