Hebræos 9

1 Habuit quidem et prius, iustificationes culturæ, et sanctum sæculare.

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

2 Tabernaculum enim factum est primum, in quo erant candelabra, et mensa, et propositio panum, quæ dicitur Sancta.

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

3 Post velamentum autem secundum, tabernaculum, quod dicitur Sancta sanctorum:

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

4 aureum habens thuribulum, et arcam testamenti circumtectam ex omni parte auro, in qua urna aurea habens manna, et virga Aaron, quæ fronduerat, et tabulæ testamenti,

having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a gold jar containing the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

5 superque eam erant Cherubim gloriæ obumbrantia propitiatorium: de quibus non est modo dicendum per singula.

and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we cannot speak now in detail.

6 His vero ita compositis: in priori quidem tabernaculo semper introibant sacerdotes, sacrificiorum officia consummantes:

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

7 in secundo autem semel in anno solus pontifex non sine sanguine, quem offert pro sua, et populi ignorantia:

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.

8 hoc significante Spiritu Sancto, nondum propalatam esse sanctorum viam, adhuc priore tabernaculo habente statum.

The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place was not yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing;

9 Quæ parabola est temporis instantis: iuxta quam munera, et hostiæ offeruntur, quæ non possunt iuxta conscientiam perfectum facere servientem, solummodo in cibis, et in potibus,

which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshipper perfect;

10 et variis baptismatibus, et iustitiis carnis usque ad tempus correctionis impositis.

but deal only with foods and drinks and various washings; they are regulations for the flesh imposed until the time of setting things right.

11 Christus autem assistens Pontifex futurorum bonorum, per amplius et perfectius tabernaculum non manufactum, id est, non huius creationis:

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

12 neque per sanguinem hircorum, aut vitulorum, sed per proprium sanguinem introivit semel in Sancta, æterna redemptione inventa. (aiōnios g166)

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 everlasting redemption. (aiōnios g166)

13 Si enim sanguis hircorum, et taurorum, et cinis vitulæ aspersus inquinatos sanctificat ad emundationem carnis:

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:

14 quanto magis sanguis Christi, qui per Spiritum Sanctum semetipsum obtulit immaculatum Deo, emundabit conscientiam nostram ab operibus mortuis, ad serviendum Deo viventi? (aiōnios g166)

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

15 Et ideo novi testamenti Mediator est: ut morte intercedente, in redemptionem earum prævaricationum, quæ erant sub priori testamento, repromissionem accipiant qui vocati sunt æternæ hereditatis. (aiōnios g166)

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 everlasting inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

16 Ubi enim testamentum est: mors necesse est intercedat testatoris.

Now where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be proven.

17 Testamentum enim in mortuis confirmatum est: alioquin nondum valet, dum vivit qui testatus est.

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

18 Unde nec primum quidem sine sanguine dedicatum est.

Therefore even the first has not been dedicated without blood.

19 Lecto enim omni mandato legis a Moyse universo populo: accipiens sanguinem vitulorum et hircorum cum aqua et lana coccinea, et hyssopo: ipsum quoque librum, et omnem populum aspersit,

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 scroll itself and all the people,

20 dicens: Hic sanguis testamenti, quod mandavit ad vos Deus.

saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."

21 Etiam tabernaculum, et omnia vasa ministerii sanguine similiter aspersit:

Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in like manner with the blood.

22 Et omnia pene in sanguine secundum legem mundantur: et sine sanguinis effusione non fit remissio.

According to the Law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

23 Necesse est ergo exemplaria quidem cælestium his mundari: ipsa autem cælestia melioribus hostiis quam istis.

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.

24 Non enim in manufacta Sancta Iesus introivit exemplaria verorum: sed in ipsum Cælum, ut appareat nunc vultui Dei pro nobis:

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;

25 Neque ut sæpe offerat semetipsum, quemadmodum pontifex intrat in Sancta per singulos annos in sanguine alieno:

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,

26 alioquin oportebat eum frequenter pati ab origine mundi: nunc autem semel in consummatione sæculorum, ad destitutionem peccati, per hostiam suam apparuit. (aiōn g165)

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)

27 Et quemadmodum statutum est hominibus semel mori, post hoc autem iudicium:

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

28 sic et Christus semel oblatus est ad multorum exhaurienda peccata: secundo sine peccato apparebit expectantibus se, in salutem.

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.
