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,

Pea ko hono meʻa lahi [eni ]ʻi he ngaahi lea ni: ʻOku tau maʻu ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki pehē, pea kuo nofo ia ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻafioʻanga ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi langi;

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

Ko e tauhi ʻoe potu tapu, mo e fale fehikitaki moʻoni, ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, kae ʻikai ko e tangata.

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.

He ko e taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē, kuo fakanofo ke ne ʻohake ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki mo e ngaahi feilaulau: ko ia naʻe totonu mei ai ki he tangata ni ke ʻohake foki ʻe ia ha meʻa.

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,

He ka ne ʻi māmani ia, ʻe ʻikai taulaʻeiki ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku nau ʻohake ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki ʻo fakatatau mo e fono:

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.”

‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku tauhi ʻo fakatatau mo e ata ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ʻoe langi, ʻo hangē ko e valokiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Mōsese ʻi heʻene teu ke langa ʻae fale fehikitaki: he naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, “Vakai ke ke ngaohi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki hono fakatātā naʻe fakahā kiate koe ʻi he moʻunga.”

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.

Ka ko eni, kuo maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ngaue ʻoku lelei lahi, ʻo hangē ko hono lelei lahi ʻoe fuakava ʻoku fakalaloa ai ia, ʻaia ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻi he ngaahi talaʻofa lelei lahi.

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

He ka ne haohaoa ʻae ʻuluaki [fuakava ]ko ia, pehē, ne ʻikai kumi ha potu mo hono ua.

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;

Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻene taʻefiemālie, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻe hoko mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho te u fai ai ʻae fuakava foʻou mo e fale ʻo ʻIsileli mo e fale ʻo Siuta:

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.

‌ʻO ʻikai tatau mo e fuakava ʻaia ne u fai mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻi he ʻaho ne u puke ai honau nima ke tataki ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ke nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi heʻeku fuakava, pea ne u taʻetokangaʻi ʻakinautolu.

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.

He ko eni ʻae fuakava ʻaia te u fai mo e fale ʻo ʻIsileli ʻoka hili ange ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; Teu ʻai ʻeku ngaahi fekau ki honau loto, pea tohi ia ʻi honau laumālie: pea teu hoko ko honau ʻOtua, pea ʻe hoko ʻakinautolu ko hoku kakai:

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.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau taki taha ako ki hono kaungāʻapi, mo taki taha ki hono kāinga, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke ʻilo ʻa Sihova:’ he koeʻuhi ʻe ʻiloʻi au kotoa pē, mei he iiki ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.”

He te u ʻaloʻofa ki heʻenau taʻemāʻoniʻoni, pea ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala mo ʻenau hia, ʻe ʻikai te u kei manatuʻi.”

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.

Pea ʻi heʻene pehē, Ko e [fuakava ]foʻou, kuo hā ai kuo motuʻa ʻae ʻuluaki. Pea ko ia kuo motuʻa mo vaivai, kuo tei mole ia.
