Ebre 10
1 Lalwa Moyiz la pa t' menm yon bon pòtre bagay ki la tout bon yo. Se yon senp lonbraj benediksyon ki gen pou vini yo li ye. Moun ki pwoche bò kote Bondye avèk menm kalite ofrann bèt y'ap plede ofri chak lanne san rete a, moun sa yo, lalwa pa ka fè yo vin bon nèt.
The Law, though able to foreshadow the better system which was coming, never had its actual substance. Its priests, with those sacrifices which they offer continuously year after year, can never make those who come to worship perfect.
2 Si moun ki fè sèvis sa yo pou Bondye te lave tout bon anba peche yo, yo pa ta santi yo koupab okenn peche ankò. Yo ta sispann fè ofrann bèt pou touye.
Otherwise, would not the offering of these sacrifices have been abandoned, as the worshipers, having been once purified, would have had their consciences clear from sins?
3 Men, okontrè, chak lanne bèt yo touye yo fè moun yo chonje jan yo peche.
But, on the contrary, these sacrifices recall their sins to mind year after year.
4 Tou sa, paske san bouk ak san jenn towo bèf p'ap janm ka wete peche moun.
For the blood of bulls and goats is powerless to remove sins.
5 Se poutèt sa, lè Kris la tapral vin sou latè, li di Bondye: Ou pa bezwen yo fè okenn ofrann bèt pou yo touye pou ou, ni pou yo fè ou kado anyen. Men, ou ban m' yon kò.
That is why, when he was coming into the world, the Christ declared – “Sacrifice and offering you do not desire, but you provide for me a body;
6 Se pa ofrann vyann bèt yo boule sou lotèl la k'ap fè ou plezi. Ni se pa ofrann bèt yo touye pou wete peche yo k'ap fè ou plezi.
You take no pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
7 Lè sa a, mwen di: Men mwen, Bondye. Mwen vin pou fè volonte ou, jan sa ekri sou mwen nan liv lalwa a.
So I said, ‘See, I have come’ (as is written of me in the pages of the book), ‘To do your will, God.’”
8 Premye bagay li di se: Ou pa bezwen yo fè okenn ofrann bèt pou yo touye pou ou, ni pou yo fè ou kado anyen, ni ofrann vyann bèt yo boule sou lotèl la, ni ofrann bèt yo touye pou wete peche yo: bagay sa yo pa fè ou plezi. Men, tout ofrann bèt sa yo, se yo lalwa Moyiz la mande.
First come the words – “You do not desire, nor do you take pleasure in, sacrifices, offerings, burnt offerings, and sacrifices for sin” (offerings regularly made under the Law),
9 Apre sa, li di: Men mwen, Bondye. Mwen vin pou fè volonte ou. Konsa, Bondye aboli tout ansyen ofrann bèt yo, li ranplase yo ak ofrann Kris la menm.
and then there is added – “See, I have come to do your will.” The former sacrifices are set aside to be replaced by the latter.
10 Kifè nou netwaye anba peche nou yo, se paske Jezikri te fè tou sa Bondye te vle, li ofri kò pa li bay Bondye yon sèl fwa, epi l' fini.
And it is in the fulfilment of the will of God that we have been purified by the sacrifice, once and for all, of the body of Jesus Christ.
11 Pou prèt jwif yo, se chak jou pou yo kanpe ap fè sèvis yo. Y'ap plede ofri menm sakrifis yo plizyè fwa. Men, sakrifis sa yo p'ap janm ka wete peche.
Every other priest stands day after day at his ministrations, and offers the same sacrifices over and over again – sacrifices that can never take sins away.
12 Men, Kris la pou tèt pa l' fè yon sèl ofrann san pou tout peche yo, yon ofrann san ki bon pou tout tan. Apre sa, li chita sou bò dwat Bondye.
But, this priest, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, which should serve for all time, “took his seat at the right hand of God,”
13 Koulye a, se la l'ap tann Bondye mete tout lènmi l' yo tankou yon ti ban pou lonje pye li.
and has since then been waiting “for his enemies to be put as a stool for his feet.”
14 Konsa, avèk sèl ofrann li fè a, li fè moun li netwaye anba peche yo bon nèt pou tout tan.
By a single offering he has made perfect for all time those who are being purified.
15 Se sa Sentespri di nou tou. Paske, lè li fin di:
We have also the testimony of the Holy Spirit. For, after saying –
16 Men kontra mwen pral fè ak yo apre jou sa yo. Se Bondye menm ki di sa. M'a mete lwa m' yo nan kè yo, m'a make lwa m' yo nan lespri yo.
“‘This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,’ says the Lord; ‘I will impress my laws on their hearts, and will inscribe them on their minds,’”
17 Apre sa, li di: Mwen p'ap janm chonje ni peche yo, ni sa yo fè ki mal.
then we have – “And their sins and their iniquities I will no longer remember.”
18 Konsa, lè Bondye fin padonnen peche yo, pa gen nesesite pou yo fè ofrann ankò pou wete peche.
And, when these are forgiven, there is no further need of an offering for sin.
19 Konsa, frè m' yo, gremesi san Kris la ki koule lè li mouri pou nou an, nou gen antre lib kote yo mete apa pou Bondye a.
Therefore, friends, since we may enter the sanctuary with confidence, in virtue of the blood of Jesus,
20 Kris la louvri yon chemen nèf pou nou, yon chemen k'ap ban nou lavi, yon chemen ki pase nan mitan vwal la, sa vle di: nan kò l' menm.
by the way which he inaugurated for us – a new and living way, a way through the sanctuary curtain (that is, his human nature);
21 Nou gen yon granprèt ki reskonsab tout kay Bondye a.
and, since we have in him “a great priest set over the house of God,”
22 Ann pwoche bò kot Bondye ak tout kè nou, ak yon konfyans byen chita, san nou pa gen anyen nan kè nou ki pou boulvèse konsyans nou, kò nou menm byen netwaye nan yon dlo byen pwòp.
let us draw near to God in all sincerity of heart and in perfect faith, with our hearts purified by the sprinkled blood from all consciousness of wrong, and with our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Ann kenbe espwa nou genyen an byen fèm. Paske, nou mèt sèten, Bondye ap kenbe pwomès li.
Let us maintain the confession of our hope unshaken, for he who has given us his promise will not fail us.
24 Se pou nou yonn veye sou lòt pou yonn ka ede lòt gen renmen nan kè nou, pou yonn ka ankouraje lòt nan fè sa ki byen.
Let us vie with one another in a rivalry of love and noble actions.
25 Pa pran egzanp sou moun ki pran abitid pa vin nan reyinyon nou yo. Okontrè, se pou yonn ankouraje lòt fè sa, koulye a pi plis pase anvan, paske nou wè jou Seyè a ap pwoche.
And let us not, as some do, cease to meet together; but, on the contrary, let us encourage one another, and all the more, now that you see the day drawing near.
26 Si, apre nou fin konn verite a, nou toujou ap fè sa nou konnen ki mal, pa gen ofrann bèt ki ka wete peche sa yo.
Remember, if we sin wilfully after we have gained a full knowledge of the truth, there can be no further sacrifice for sin;
27 Nou mèt pè kont kò nou. Yon sèl bagay ki rete pou nou fè, se rete tann jijman an ansanm ak gwo dife ki gen pou vin detwi tout lènmi Bondye yo.
there is only a fearful anticipation of judgment, and a burning indignation which will destroy all opponents.
28 Lè yon moun te dezobeyi lalwa Moyiz la, depi te gen de osinon twa moun ki vin depoze kont li, se touye pou yo te touye l' san pitye.
When someone disregarded the Law of Moses, they were, on the evidence of two or three witnesses, put to death without pity.
29 Nou pa bezwen mande kisa ki va rive yon moun k'ap meprize Pitit Bondye a, yon moun ki pran san Pitit Bondye a pou anyen, san ki sèvi pou siyen kontra Bondye a, san ki mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a, san ki mete nou apa pou Bondye a. Wi, nou pa bezwen mande kisa ki va rive yon moun k'ap joure Lespri Bondye ki ban nou favè li a. Nou tou konnen li merite yon pi gwo chatiman.
How much worse then, think you, will be the punishment deserved by those who have trampled underfoot the Son of God, who have treated the blood that rendered the covenant valid – the blood by which they were purified – as if it were not holy, and who have outraged the Spirit of love?
30 Nou menm, nou konnen moun ki te di: Se mwen menm sèl ki gen dwa tire revanj, se mwen menm sèl ki va bay moun sa yo merite. Se li menm tou ki te di: Bondye gen pou l' jije pèp li a.
We know who it was that said – “It is for me to avenge, I will requite”; and again – “The Lord will judge his people.”
31 Aaa! Se yon bagay terib wi, pou yon moun tonbe anba men Bondye vivan an!
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Chonje sa ki te rive nou nan tan lontan. Lè sa a, nou te fèk fin resevwa limyè Bondye a, nou te soufri anpil. Men, nou te kenbe fèm nan batay la.
Call to mind those early days in which, after you had received the light, you patiently underwent a long and painful conflict.
33 Yon lè, se nou menm yo t'ap joure, yo t'ap maltrete devan tout moun. Yon lòt lè, se nou menm, pou tèt pa nou, ki te al pran pou moun yo t'ap joure yo, pou moun yo t'ap maltrete yo.
Sometimes, in consequence of the taunts and injuries heaped on you, you became a public spectacle; and sometimes you suffered through having shown yourselves to be the friends of people who were in the same position in which you had been.
34 Nou te soufri ansanm ak tout moun ki te nan prizon. Menm lè yo te sezi tout byen nou yo, nou te kontan asepte pèdi yo, paske nou te konnen nou gen yon richès ki pi bon, k'ap la pou tout tan.
For you not only sympathised with those who were in prison, but you even took the confiscation of your possessions joyfully, knowing, as you did, that you had in yourselves a greater possession and a lasting one.
35 Pa pèdi lasirans nou te genyen an. Paske, gen yon gwo rekonpans ladan li.
Do not, therefore, abandon the confidence that you have gained, for it has a great reward awaiting it.
36 Men, nou bezwen pasyans pou nou ka fè sa Bondye vle, pou nou ka resevwa sa l' te pwomèt la.
You still have need of patient endurance, in order that, when you have done God’s will, you may obtain the fulfilment of his promise.
37 Paske, men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Nan yon ti tan ankò, pa gen pou lontan menm, Moun ki gen pou vini an ap vini. Li p'ap pran reta ankò.
“For there is indeed but a very little while before he who is coming will have come, without delay;
38 Moun mwen fè gras la ap viv, paske li gen konfyans nan mwen. Men, si l' vire do l' tounen fè bak, li p'ap fè kè m' kontan.
and through faith the righteous will find life, but, if anyone draws back, my heart can find no pleasure in them.”
39 Nou menm, nou p'ap fè tankou moun sa yo k'ap twenn dèyè, k'ap pèdi tèt yo. N'ap fè tankou moun ki gen fèm konfyans nan Bondye, moun k'ap delivre nanm yo.
But we do not belong to those who draw back, to their ruin, but to those who have faith, to the saving of their souls.
