Hebrews 9

1 Now indeed even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and an earthly sanctuary.

But in the first there were ordinances of ministry, and a worldly sanctuary.

2 For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lamp stand, the table, and the show bread, which is called the Holy Place.

For in the first tabernacle that was made there were the candelabrum, and the table, and the presencebread; and this was called the Holy place.

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

But the interior tabernacle, that was within the second veil, was called the Holy of Holies:

4 having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

in it were the incense-vessel of gold, and the ark of the covenant, which was altogether covered with gold; and within it were the golden urn, in which was the manna, and the rod of Aharun that budded, and the tablets of the covenant:

5 and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can’t speak now in detail.

and above this the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat. But time there is not to speak upon every one of these which were thus ordained.

6 Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,

Now, into the outer sanctuary at all times entered the priests, and fulfilled their offices;

7 but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people.

but into the tabernacle which was within, one day in the year, alone, entered the high priest, with that blood which he offered for himself and the sins of the people.

8 The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing.

By this the Spirit of Holiness made known that the way of the holies was not yet manifested, so long as was the standing of the first tabernacle.

9 This is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshiper perfect,

And this was a figurative representation for the time in which oblations and victims have been offered; -those which have not been able to perfect the consciousness of him who offered them;

10 being only (with foods and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

but (have consisted) in meat and drink only, and in various kinds of baptism, being institutions of the flesh appointed until the time of setting right.

11 But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

But the Meshiha who hath come was a High Priest of good things which he wrought out, and hath entered into the great and perfect tabernacle (which was) not made with hands, nor made from these creatures.

12 nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)

Nor entered he with the blood of goats and calves, but with the blood of himself he entered once the holy place, and hath found eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)

13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh,

For if the blood of goats and of calves, and the dust of an heifer, sprinkled upon those who were unclean, sanctifieth them for the purification of their flesh,

14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)

how much more then shall the blood of the Meshiha, who, by the Eternal Spirit, himself hath offered without spot unto Aloha, purify our conscience from dead works, to serve the Aloha the Living? (aiōnios g166)

15 For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

For this was he made the Mediator of the new covenant, that by his death he might become the ransom for those who had transgressed against the first covenant, (and) that they might receive the promise, they, who are called unto the inheritance which is eternal. (aiōnios g166)

16 For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.

For where a covenant is, there is indicated the DEATH of that which made it.

17 For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.

For upon death only is it confirmed; because while he who made it lived there is no value in it.

18 Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.

Wherefore neither the first without blood was confirmed.

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

For when every precept had been enjoined by Musha to the whole people according to the law, Musha took the blood of the heifer, and water, with the scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled upon the books and upon all the people,

20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.”

and said to them, This is the blood of that covenant which is commanded by Aloha.

21 He sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood.

Also upon the tabernacle and upon all the vessels of the service from it with blood he sprinkled.

22 According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

Because every thing with blood was purified under the law; and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

23 It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

For it was necessary that these which are a type of the heavenlies, with (these) things should be purified; but the heavenlies themselves with sacrifices that are more excellent than they.

24 For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

For not into the sanctuary made with hands hath the Meshiha entered, which is an emblem of the true one, but into heaven itself hath he entered, that he might appear before the face of Aloha for us.

25 nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,

Nor that he should offer himself many times, as did the chief of the priests, entering every year into the holy place with blood not his own;

26 or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)

otherwise he would have been obligated many times to suffer from the beginning of the world. But now, in the end of the world, once hath he offered himself, that by his sacrifice he might abolish sin. (aiōn g165)

27 Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

And as it is ordained to the sons of men, that they must once die, and after their death the judgment;

28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

so also the Meshiha was once offered, and in his (own) person sacrificed (for) the sins of many; but the second time without sins he appeareth for the salvation of them who expect him.
