Hebrews 8
1 Now 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,
Lo principal de lo que decimos es que tenemos un Sumo Sacerdote que se sentó a la derecha del trono de la Majestad en los cielos,
2 a servant of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched, not man.
Ministro del santuario y del verdadero Tabernáculo, erigido por el Señor y no el hombre.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
Porque todo sumo sacerdote es designado para ofrecer ofrendas y sacrificios, por lo cual es necesario que Éste también tenga algo para ofrecer.
4 For 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,
Así que, ni siquiera sería sacerdote si estuviera en [la] tierra, donde hay los que presentan las ofrendas según [la] Ley,
5 who 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.”
los cuales sirven de modelo y sombra de las cosas celestiales, como se le advirtió a Moisés cuando iba a erigir el Tabernáculo: Mira, le dice: Haz todas las cosas según el modelo que se te mostró en la montaña.
6 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.
Pero ahora [Jesús] tiene un ministerio mejor, por cuanto es Mediador de un Pacto mejor establecido sobre promesas mejores.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
Porque si el primero fuera sin defecto, [el] segundo no hubiera sido necesario.
8 For finding fault with them, he said, “Behold, the days are coming”, says the Lord, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
Porque al reprenderlos dice: Miren, vienen días, dice [el] Señor, en los cuales estableceré un Nuevo Pacto con la casa de Israel y con la casa de Judá,
9 not 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 did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.
No como el Pacto que hice con sus antepasados el día cuando los tomé de la mano para sacarlos de [la] tierra de Egipto. Porque ellos no permanecieron en mi Pacto, y Yo los desatendí, dice el Señor.
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.
Porque éste es el Pacto que estableceré con la casa de Israel después de aquellos días, dice [el] Señor, grabaré mis Leyes en la mente de ellos y las escribiré sobre sus corazones. [Yo] les seré Dios, y ellos me serán pueblo.
11 They will not teach every man his fellow citizen and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from their least to their greatest.
Que de ningún modo [alguno] enseñe a su conciudadano, ni le diga a su hermano: conoce al Señor. Porque todos me conocerán, desde [el] menor hasta [el] mayor de ellos.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.”
Porque tendré misericordia de ellos en relación con sus iniquidades, y que de ningún modo me acuerde de sus pecados.
13 In that he says, “A new covenant”, he has made the first obsolete. But that which is becoming obsolete and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
Al decir: Nuevo [Pacto], trató como obsoleto el primero, porque lo tratado como obsoleto caduca. Está cerca de desaparecer.
