Hebrews 9

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

And the former testament hadde iustefiyngis of worschip, and hooli thing duringe for a tyme.

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 the tabernacle was maad first, in which weren candilstikis, and boord, and setting forth of looues, which is seid hooli.

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

And after the veil, the secounde tabernacle, that is seid sancta sanctorum, that is, hooli of hooli thingis;

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;

hauynge a goldun cenrer, and the arke of the testament, keuered aboute on ech side with gold, in which was a pot of gold hauynge manna, and the yerde of Aaron that florischide, and the tablis of the testament;

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

on whiche thingis weren cherubyns of glorie, ouerschadewinge the propiciatorie; of whiche thingis it is not now to seie bi alle.

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

But whanne these weren maad thus togidere, preestis entriden eueremore in the formere tabernacle, doynge the offices of sacrifices; but in the secounde tabernacle,

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.

the bischop entride onys in the yeer, not without blood, which he offride for his ignoraunce and the puplis.

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.

For the Hooli Goost signefiede this thing, that not yit the weie of seyntis was openyd, while the formere tabernacle hadde staat.

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,

Which parable is of this present tyme, bi which also yiftis and sacrifices ben offrid, whiche moun not make a man seruynge perfit bi conscience, oneli in metis,

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

and drynkis, and dyuerse waischingis, and riytwisnessis of fleisch, that weren sett to the tyme of correccioun.

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 Crist beynge a bischop of goodis to comynge, entride bi a largere and perfitere tabernacle, not maad bi hoond, that is to seye,

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)

not of this makyng, nether bi blood of goot buckis, or of calues, but bi his owne blood, entride onys in to the hooli thingis, that weren foundun bi an euerlastinge redempcioun. (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 gootbuckis, and of boolis, and the aische of a cow calf spreynd, halewith vnclene men to the clensing of fleisch,

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)

hou myche more the blood of Crist, which bi the Hooli Goost offride hym silf vnwemmyd to God, schal clense oure conscience fro deed werkis, to serue God that lyueth? (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)

And therfor he is a mediatour of the newe testament, that bi deth fallinge bitwixe, in to redempcioun of tho trespassyngis that weren vndur the formere testament, thei that ben clepid take the biheest of euerlastinge eritage. (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 testament is, it is nede, that the deth of the testament makere come bitwixe.

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 a testament is confermed in deed men; ellis it is not worthe, while he lyueth, that made the testament.

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

Wherfor nether the firste testament was halewid without blood.

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 whanne ech maundement of the lawe was red of Moises to al the puple, he took the blood of calues, and of buckis of geet, with watir, and reed wolle, and ysope, and bispreynde bothe thilke book and al the puple,

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

and seide, This is the blood of the testament, that God comaundide to you.

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

Also he spreynde with blood the tabernacle, and alle the vessels of the seruyce in lijk maner.

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

And almest alle thingis ben clensid in blood bi the lawe; and without scheding of blood remyssioun of synnes is not maad.

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.

Therfor it is nede, that the saumpleris of heuenli thingis be clensid with these thingis; but thilke heuenli thingis with betere sacrificis than these.

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 Jhesus entride not in to hooli thingis maad bi hoondis, that ben saumpleris of very thingis, but in to heuene it silf, that he appere now to the cheer of God for vs;

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,

nether that he offre him silf ofte, as the bischop entride in to hooli thingis bi alle yeeris in alien blood,

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)

ellis it bihofte hym to suffre ofte fro the bigynnyng of the world; but now onys in the ending of worldis, to distruccioun of synne bi his sacrifice he apperide. (aiōn g165)

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

And as it is ordeynede to men, onys to die, but aftir this is the dom,

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 Crist was offrid onys, to auoyde the synnes of many men; the secounde tyme he schal appere with outen synne to men that abiden him in to heelthe.
