عِبرانِيّين 9

١ 1 ثُمَّ ٱلْعَهْدُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ كَانَ لَهُ أَيْضًا فَرَائِضُ خِدْمَةٍ وَٱلْقُدْسُ ٱلْعَالَمِيُّ،

Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّهُ نُصِبَ ٱلْمَسْكَنُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ ٱلَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ: «ٱلْقُدْسُ»، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ ٱلْمَنَارَةُ وَٱلْمَائِدَةُ وَخُبْزُ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ.

For a tabernacle was prepared. The first room, in which were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of the presence, was called the holy place.

٣ 3 وَوَرَاءَ ٱلْحِجَابِ ٱلثَّانِي ٱلْمَسْكَنُ ٱلَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ: «قُدْسُ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ»،

Behind the second curtain was another room, called the most holy place.

٤ 4 فِيهِ مِبْخَرَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَتَابُوتُ ٱلْعَهْدِ مُغَشًّى مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ بِٱلذَّهَبِ، ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ قِسْطٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِيهِ ٱلْمَنُّ، وَعَصَا هَارُونَ ٱلَّتِي أَفْرَخَتْ، وَلَوْحَا ٱلْعَهْدِ.

It had a golden altar for incense. It also had the ark of the covenant, which was completely overlaid with gold. Inside it was a golden jar holding the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.

٥ 5 وَفَوْقَهُ كَرُوبَا ٱلْمَجْدِ مُظَلِّلَيْنِ ٱلْغِطَاءَ. أَشْيَاءُ لَيْسَ لَنَا ٱلْآنَ أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْهَا بِٱلتَّفْصِيلِ.

Above the ark of the covenant, glorious cherubim overshadowed the atonement lid, which we cannot now talk about in detail.

٦ 6 ثُمَّ إِذْ صَارَتْ هَذِهِ مُهَيَّأَةً هَكَذَا، يَدْخُلُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ كُلَّ حِينٍ، صَانِعِينَ ٱلْخِدْمَةَ.

After these things were prepared, the priests always entered the outer room of the tabernacle to perform their services.

٧ 7 وَأَمَّا إِلَى ٱلثَّانِي فَرَئِيسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ فَقَطْ مَرَّةً فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ، لَيْسَ بِلَا دَمٍ يُقَدِّمُهُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَعَنْ جَهَالَاتِ ٱلشَّعْبِ،

But only the high priest entered the second room once each year, and not without blood that he offered for himself and for the people's unintentional sins.

٨ 8 مُعْلِنًا ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ بِهَذَا أَنَّ طَرِيقَ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ لَمْ يُظْهَرْ بَعْدُ، مَا دَامَ ٱلْمَسْكَنُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ لَهُ إِقَامَةٌ،

The Holy Spirit showed that the way into the most holy place had not yet appeared as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.

٩ 9 ٱلَّذِي هُوَ رَمْزٌ لِلْوَقْتِ ٱلْحَاضِرِ، ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تُقَدَّمُ قَرَابِينُ وَذَبَائِحُ، لَا يُمْكِنُ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلضَّمِيرِ أَنْ تُكَمِّلَ ٱلَّذِي يَخْدِمُ،

This was an illustration for the present time. Both the gifts and sacrifices that are now being offered are not able to perfect the worshiper's conscience.

١٠ 10 وَهِيَ قَائِمَةٌ بِأَطْعِمَةٍ وَأَشْرِبَةٍ وَغَسَلَاتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ وَفَرَائِضَ جَسَدِيَّةٍ فَقَطْ، مَوْضُوعَةٍ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلْإِصْلَاحِ.

They are only concerned with food and drink and various ceremonial washings, regulations for the body until the time of the new order.

١١ 11 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَسِيحُ، وَهُوَ قَدْ جَاءَ رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ لِلْخَيْرَاتِ ٱلْعَتِيدَةِ، فَبِٱلْمَسْكَنِ ٱلْأَعْظَمِ وَٱلْأَكْمَلِ، غَيْرِ ٱلْمَصْنُوعِ بِيَدٍ، أَيِ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْخَلِيقَةِ،

Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come. He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that was not made by human hands, one not belonging to this created world.

١٢ 12 وَلَيْسَ بِدَمِ تُيُوسٍ وَعُجُولٍ، بَلْ بِدَمِ نَفْسِهِ، دَخَلَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً إِلَى ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ، فَوَجَدَ فِدَاءً أَبَدِيًّا. (aiōnios g166)

It was not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood that he entered into the most holy place once for all and secured our eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)

١٣ 13 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ دَمُ ثِيرَانٍ وَتُيُوسٍ وَرَمَادُ عِجْلَةٍ مَرْشُوشٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُنَجَّسِينَ، يُقَدِّسُ إِلَى طَهَارَةِ ٱلْجَسَدِ،

For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer's ashes on those who have become unclean sets them apart to God for the cleansing of their flesh,

١٤ 14 فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ يَكُونُ دَمُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلَّذِي بِرُوحٍ أَزَلِيٍّ قَدَّمَ نَفْسَهُ لِلهِ بِلَا عَيْبٍ، يُطَهِّرُ ضَمَائِرَكُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتَةٍ لِتَخْدِمُوا ٱللهَ ٱلْحَيَّ! (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)

١٥ 15 وَلِأَجْلِ هَذَا هُوَ وَسِيطُ عَهْدٍ جَدِيدٍ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ ٱلْمَدْعُوُّونَ - إِذْ صَارَ مَوْتٌ لِفِدَاءِ ٱلتَّعَدِّيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ - يَنَالُونَ وَعْدَ ٱلْمِيرَاثِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ. (aiōnios g166)

For this reason, he is the mediator of a new covenant. This is so that, since a death has taken place to free those under the first covenant from their sins, those who are called will receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّهُ حَيْثُ تُوجَدُ وَصِيَّةٌ، يَلْزَمُ بَيَانُ مَوْتِ ٱلْمُوصِي.

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

١٧ 17 لِأَنَّ ٱلْوَصِيَّةَ ثَابِتَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْمَوْتَى، إِذْ لَا قُوَّةَ لَهَا ٱلْبَتَّةَ مَا دَامَ ٱلْمُوصِي حَيًّا.

For a will is only in force when there has been a death, because it has no force while the one who made it is still alive.

١٨ 18 فَمِنْ ثَمَّ ٱلْأَوَّلُ أَيْضًا لَمْ يُكَرَّسْ بِلَا دَمٍ،

So not even the first covenant was established without blood.

١٩ 19 لِأَنَّ مُوسَى بَعْدَمَا كَلَّمَ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ بِكُلِّ وَصِيَّةٍ بِحَسَبِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، أَخَذَ دَمَ ٱلْعُجُولِ وَٱلتُّيُوسِ، مَعَ مَاءٍ وَصُوفًا قِرْمِزِيًّا وَزُوفَا، وَرَشَّ ٱلْكِتَابَ نَفْسَهُ وَجَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ،

For when Moses had given every command in the law to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water, red wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people.

٢٠ 20 قَائِلًا: «هَذَا هُوَ دَمُ ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلَّذِي أَوْصَاكُمُ ٱللهُ بِهِ».

Then he said, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded for you.”

٢١ 21 وَٱلْمَسْكَنَ أَيْضًا وَجَمِيعَ آنِيَةِ ٱلْخِدْمَةِ رَشَّهَا كَذَلِكَ بِٱلدَّمِ.

In the same manner, he sprinkled the blood on the tabernacle and all the containers used in the service.

٢٢ 22 وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ تَقْرِيبًا يَتَطَهَّرُ حَسَبَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ بِٱلدَّمِ، وَبِدُونِ سَفْكِ دَمٍ لَا تَحْصُلُ مَغْفِرَةٌ!

According to the law, almost everything is cleansed with blood. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

٢٣ 23 فَكَانَ يَلْزَمُ أَنَّ أَمْثِلَةَ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ تُطَهَّرُ بِهَذِهِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّاتُ عَيْنُهَا، فَبِذَبَائِحَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ.

Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in heaven should be cleansed with these animal sacrifices. However, the heavenly things themselves had to be cleansed with much better sacrifices.

٢٤ 24 لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ إِلَى أَقْدَاسٍ مَصْنُوعَةٍ بِيَدٍ أَشْبَاهِ ٱلْحَقِيقِيَّةِ، بَلْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ عَيْنِهَا، لِيَظْهَرَ ٱلْآنَ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ ٱللهِ لِأَجْلِنَا.

For Christ did not enter into the most holy place made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one. Instead he entered into heaven itself, to appear now in God's presence for us.

٢٥ 25 وَلَا لِيُقَدِّمَ نَفْسَهُ مِرَارًا كَثِيرَةً، كَمَا يَدْخُلُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ إِلَى ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ بِدَمِ آخَرَ.

He did not go there in order to offer himself many times, as does the high priest, who enters the most holy place year by year with the blood of another.

٢٦ 26 فَإِذْ ذَاكَ كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ مِرَارًا كَثِيرَةً مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أُظْهِرَ مَرَّةً عِنْدَ ٱنْقِضَاءِ ٱلدُّهُورِ لِيُبْطِلَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةَ بِذَبِيحَةِ نَفْسِهِ. (aiōn g165)

If that had been the case, then he would have had to suffer many times since the beginning of the world. But now he has appeared at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)

٢٧ 27 وَكَمَا وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ أَنْ يَمُوتُوا مَرَّةً ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱلدَّيْنُونَةُ،

Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that comes judgment,

٢٨ 28 هَكَذَا ٱلْمَسِيحُ أَيْضًا، بَعْدَمَا قُدِّمَ مَرَّةً لِكَيْ يَحْمِلَ خَطَايَا كَثِيرِينَ، سَيَظْهَرُ ثَانِيَةً بِلَا خَطِيَّةٍ لِلْخَلَاصِ لِلَّذِينَ يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ.

so also, Christ was offered once to take away the sins of many, and will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.
