Hebru 8

1 Ka thuih o ih lok loe hae ni: aicae loe van ih Lensawk angraeng tangkhang bantang bangah kanghnu, Kalen koek Qaima maeto a tawnh o;

Now the main point of the things we are saying is this: We do have such a High Priest, who sat down at the right of the Majesty's throne in the heavens,

2 Anih loe kami mah sak ih na ai ah, Angraeng mah sak ih kahni im tangtang, kaciim ahmuen thungah toksahkung ah oh.

Minister of the Holy Places, that is, of the true Tabernacle which the Lord set up, not man.

3 Qaimanawk boih loe tangqumnawk paek moe, angbawnhaih sak pae hanah tokpaek ih kami ah oh o: to pongah Anih mah doeh hmuen paekhaih maeto sak toeng han angaih.

Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices (it follows that it is necessary for this One also to have something He might offer)

4 Kaalok mah thuih ih baktih toengah, tangqum kapaek qaimanawk oh o mangh pongah, Anih loe long ah om nahaeloe, qaima tok to sah mak ai:

—if He were on earth He would not be a priest, there already being priests who offer the gifts according to the Law;

5 Mosi mah kahni im sak han amsak naah, mae nuiah kang patuek ih krang baktih toengah, hmuennawk boih to sah ah, tiah Sithaw mah thuih ih lok to oh: kahni im loe van ah kaom tangtang hmuen ih tahlip, krang hoi kanghmong ah ni a sak o.

who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things (that is why Moses was warned by God when he was ready to assemble the Tabernacle: “See to it,” He says, “that you make everything according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain”)—

6 Toe Anih loe vaihi kahoih kue lokkamhaih to hnuk, Anih loe kahoih kue lokmaihaih caksak Laicaeh ah doeh oh baktih toengah, nihcae pong kalen kue toksakhaih to a hnuk.

but now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, just as He is Mediator of a better covenant, which was enacted as law on the basis of better promises.

7 Sak hmaloe ih lokmaihaih to akoep boeh nahaeloe, vai hnetto haih lokmaihaih to pakrong han angaih mak ai boeh.

Now if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for a second one;

8 Toe Sithaw mah angmah ih kaminawk nuiah zaehaih hnuk pongah, Israel imthung, Judah imthung hoiah kangtha lokmaihaih ka sak han, Khenah, atue pha tih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

but finding fault with them He says: “Listen! Days are coming,” says the Lord, “when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah

9 Nihcae ampanawk to banah ka patawnh moe, Izip prae thung hoiah ka zaeh naah, nihcae mah ampanawk hoi ka sak ih lokmaihhaih baktiah khosah o ai, to pongah nihcae to kang qoi taak ving, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

—not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by my covenant and so I disregarded them,” says the Lord.

10 To pacoengah Israel imthung takoh hoiah ka sak han ih lokkmaihaih loe, Ka patuk ih lok to nihcae poekhaih thungah ka suek moe, nihcae palung thungah ka tarik pae han: Kai loe nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han, nihcae doeh Kai ih kami ah om o tih:

“Now this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws into their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God and they will be my people.

11 nihcae mah mi kawbaktih imtaeng kami khaeah maw, angmacae nawkamya khaeah maw, Angraeng to panoek o khae, tiah patuk o mak ai boeh: kathoeng koek hoi kalen koek khoek to kami boih mah Kai to panoek o tih boeh.

Further, not one of them will teach his neighbor and not one his brother saying, ‘Get to know the Lord!’ because they all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.

12 Katoeng ai a sak o ih hmuennawk nuiah palungnathaih ka tawnh, nihcae zaehaih hoi sakpazaehaihnawk to ka panoek pae mak ai boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

For I will be merciful to their wrongdoings; I will not at all remember their sins and their lawless deeds.”

13 Kangtha lokmaihaih, tiah Anih mah thuih naah, hmaloe lokmaihhaih to Anih mah angquemsak boeh. Kahmawn moe, kangquem hmuen loe vaihi anghmat tom boeh.

By saying ‘new’ He has made the first one ‘old’; and what is obsolete and aging is near the end.
