Vēstule Ebrējiem 9
1 Tad nu gan arī tai pirmai derībai bija Dieva kalpošanas likumi un laicīgs svētums.
It is true that even the first covenant had its regulations for divine worship, and its sanctuary – though only a material one.
2 Jo Dieva telts bija uzcelta: tai priekšējā bija tas lukturis un tas galds un tās Dieva priekšā noliktas maizes; tā top saukta tā svētā vieta.
For a tent was constructed, with an outer part which contained the stand for the lamps, and the table, and the consecrated bread. This is called the sanctuary.
3 Bet aiz tā otra priekškaramā auta tas dzīvoklis, kas top saukts tā vissvētākā vieta;
The part of the tent behind the second curtain is called the inner sanctuary.
4 Tam bija tas kvēpināmais zelta altāris un tas derības šķirsts, vispāri pārvilkts ar zeltu, kurā tas zelta trauciņš ar to debess maizi un Ārona zizlis, kas bija zaļojis, un tie derības galdiņi.
In it is the gold incense-altar, and the ark containing the covenant, completely covered with gold. In the ark is a gold casket containing the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets on which the covenant was written;
5 Un virsū pār to tie godības ķerubi, kas to derības šķirsta vāku apēnoja: par to tagad nav jārunā īpaši.
while above it, and overshadowing the cover on which atonement was made, are the cherubim of the presence. Now is not the time to discuss these things in detail.
6 Kad nu šās lietas tā sataisītas, tad tie priesteri gan allažiņ ieiet tai dzīvokļa priekšējā daļā, Dieva kalpošanas darbus darīdami,
Such, then, was the arrangement of the tent. Into the outer part priests are constantly going, in the discharge of their sacred duties;
7 Bet tai otrā tas augstais priesteris vien vienreiz par gadu, ne bez asinīm, ko viņš upurē par sava paša un to ļaužu noziegumiem;
but into the inner only the high priest goes, and that but once a year, and never without taking the blood of a victim, which he offers on his own behalf, and on behalf of the errors of the people.
8 Caur to Svētais Gars rāda, ka ceļš uz to svēto vietu vēl nav parādīts, kamēr tā dzīvokļa priekšēja daļa pastāv;
By this the Holy Spirit is teaching that the way into the sanctuary was hidden, as long as the outer part of the tent still remained.
9 Tā ir to tagadēju laiku līdzība, pēc kuras upurē dāvanas un upurus, kas to, kas kalpo, nevar pilnīgu darīt pēc zināmas sirds,
For that was only a type, to continue down to the present time; and, in keeping with it, both gifts and sacrifices are offered, though incapable of satisfying the conscience of the worshiper;
10 Bet tie tikai līdz ar ēdieniem un dzērieniem un daudzkārtīgām mazgāšanām kā ārīgi miesas likumi uzlikti līdz tam laikam, kad viss labāki tiks pārtaisīts.
the whole system being concerned only with food and drink and various ablutions – external ceremonials imposed until the coming of the new order.
11 Bet Kristus, to nākamo labumu augstais priesteris, ir nācis un caur jo lielu un jo pilnīgu dzīvokli, ne rokām taisītu - tas ir, ne no šīs radības, -
But, when Christ came, he appeared as high priest of that better system which was established; and he entered through that nobler and more perfect tent, not made by human hands – that is to say, not a part of this present creation.
12 Nedz ar āžu un teļu asinīm, bet ar Savām paša asinīm Viņš vienreiz ir iegājis tai svētā vietā un sagādājis mūžīgu pestīšanu. (aiōnios g166)
Nor was it with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, that he entered, once and for all, into the sanctuary, and obtained our eternal deliverance. (aiōnios g166)
13 Jo ja vēršu un āžu asinis un pelni no jaunas govs nešķīstos apslacinājot šķīsta uz miesas šķīstību;
For, if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of the ashes of a heifer, purify those who have been defiled (as far as ceremonial purification goes),
14 Cik vairāk Kristus asinis, kas caur to mūžīgo Garu Sevi pašu bezvainīgu Dievam ir upurējis, šķīstīs jūsu zināmu sirdi no nedzīviem darbiem, kalpot Tam dzīvam Dievam? (aiōnios g166)
how much more will the blood of the Christ, who, through his eternal Spirit, offered himself up to God, as a victim without blemish, purify our consciences from a lifeless formality, and fit us for the service of the living God! (aiōnios g166)
15 Un tādēļ Viņš ir tās jaunās derības (testamenta) vidutājs, lai, kad nāve bija notikusi par atpestīšanu no tām pārkāpšanām, kas bija apakš tās pirmās derības, tie, kas ir aicināti, dabū to apsolīto mūžīgo mantību. (aiōnios g166)
And that is why he is the intermediary of a new covenant; in order that, as a death has taken place to effect a deliverance from the offences committed under the first covenant, those who have received the call may obtain the eternal inheritance promised to them. (aiōnios g166)
16 Jo kur ir iestādījums(testaments), tur tam iestādītajam vajag būt mirušam.
Whenever such a covenant as a will is in question, the death of the testator must of necessity be alleged.
17 Jo iestādījums (testaments) ir stiprs, kad tas iestādītājs miris; jo tas nekad nav spēkā, kamēr viņš vēl dzīvs, kas to cēlis.
For such a covenant takes effect only on death, it does not come into force as long as the testator is alive.
18 Tāpēc arī tā pirmā derība nav iecelta bez asinīm.
This explains why even the first covenant was not ratified without the shedding of blood.
19 Jo kad Mozus visus likumus pēc bauslības bija runājis uz visiem ļaudīm, tad tas ņēma teļu un āžu asinis ar ūdeni un purpura vilnu un īzapu un apslacināja pašu to grāmatu kā arī visus ļaudis,
For, when every command had been announced to all the people by Moses in accordance with the Law, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats, with water, scarlet wool, and a bunch of hyssop, and sprinkled even the book of the Law, as well as all the people,
20 Sacīdams: šīs ir tās derības asinis, ko Dievs jums ir pavēlējis.
saying, as he did so – ‘This is the blood that renders valid the covenant which God has commanded to be made with you.’
21 Tā līdzīgi viņš arī Dieva telti un visus Dieva kalpošanas rīkus apslacināja ar asinīm.
And in the same way he also sprinkled with the blood the tent and all the things that were used in public worship.
22 Un gandrīz viss ar asinīm top šķīstīts pēc bauslības, un bez asins izliešanas nenotiek piedošana.
Indeed, under the Law, almost everything is purified with blood; and, unless blood is shed, no forgiveness is to be obtained.
23 Tad nu tām debes' lietu līdzībām tā vajag tapt šķīstītām, bet tām debes' lietām pašām caur labākiem upuriem, nekā šie ir.
While, then, it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly realities to be purified by such means as these, the heavenly realities themselves required better sacrifices.
24 Jo Kristus nav iegājis tai rokām taisītā svētā vietā, caur ko tā patiesā top zīmēta, bet pašās debesīs, ka tas tagad parādītos priekš Dieva vaiga par mums;
For it was not into a sanctuary made by human hands, which merely foreshadowed the true one, that Christ entered, but into heaven itself, so that he might now appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
25 Nedz ka Viņš Sevi pašu daudzreiz upurētu, tā kā tas augstais priesteris ik gadus svētā vietā ieiet ar svešām asinīm.
Nor yet was it to offer himself may times, as year after year the high priest entered the sanctuary with an offering of blood – but not his own blood;
26 Citādi Viņam būtu pienācies daudzreiz ciest no pasaules iesākuma; bet tagad Viņš vienreiz laiku galā ir parādījies, grēku iznīcināt caur Savu paša upuri. (aiōn g165)
for then Christ would have had to undergo death many times since the creation of the world. But now, once and for all, at the close of the age, he has appeared, in order to abolish sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)
27 Un tā, kā cilvēkiem ir nolikts vienreiz mirt un pēc tam tā tiesa:
And, as it is ordained for people to die but once (death being followed by judgment),
28 Tāpat arī Kristus, vienreiz upurēts, daudz ļaužu grēkus atņemt, taps redzēts otru reizi bez grēka no tiem, kas Viņu gaida, uz mūžīgu dzīvošanu.
so it is with the Christ. He was offered up once and for all, to bear away the sins of many; and the second time he will appear – but without any burden of sin – to those who are waiting for him, to bring salvation.
