< Hebrews 9 >

1 Now indeed even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and an earthly sanctuary.
Ọgbụgba ndụ nke mbụ nwere usoro ofufe na ebe nsọ nke ụwa nke a e jiri aka wuo.
2 For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lamp stand, the table, and the show bread, which is called the Holy Place.
E guzobere ụlọ ikwu. Nʼọnụụlọ nke mbụ nʼụlọ ikwu ahụ, e nwere ihe ịdọba iheọkụ, na tebul, na achịcha e doro nsọ. Aha ọnụụlọ nke mbụ a bụ Ebe Nsọ.
3 After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,
Nʼazụ akwa mgbochi nke abụọ ka e nwere ọnụụlọ a na-akpọ Ebe Kachasị Nsọ,
4 having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;
nke nwere ebe ịchụ aja mgbaisiọma e ji ọlaedo wuo, na igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ nke e jiri ọlaedo machie ahụ ya niile. Ihe dị nʼime ite ahụ bụ mánà na mkpanaka Erọn nke ahụ puputara ahịhịa, ya na mbadamba nkume e dekwasịrị iwu ọgbụgba ndụ.
5 and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we cannot speak now in detail.
Ihe dị nʼelu igbe a bụ cherubim nke ebube ya, na-ekpuchite oche amara ahụ. Ma anyị enweghị ike ịkọwacha ihe niile ndị a nʼozuzu oke ugbu a.
6 Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,
Mgbe e doro ihe niile ndị a nʼusoro, onye nchụaja na-abata mgbe ọbụla nʼime ọnụụlọ nke mbụ nke ụlọ ikwu a. Nʼebe a ka ọ na-arụ ọrụ o ketara ịrụ.
7 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.
Ma ọ bụ naanị onyeisi nchụaja na-abanye nʼime ọnụụlọ nsọ nke abụọ, naanị otu ugboro nʼafọ. Ọ na-ejikwa ọbara na-aba nʼebe ahụ, iji chụọ aja maka onwe ya na nʼihi mmehie ndị mmadụ mere na-amaghị ama.
8 The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place was not yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing.
Site na nke a, Mmụọ Nsọ na-egosi na ụzọ e si abanye nʼEbe Kachasị Nsọ ahụ bụ ihe na a ka apụtabeghị ihe, ebe ọ bụ na ụlọ ikwu nke mbụ ahụ ka na-eguzo.
9 This is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshiper perfect,
Nke a bụ ihe ilu banyere oge ugbu a. Site na nhazi nke a, onyinye na aja niile a na-achụ enweghị ike ime ka akọnuche onye na-efe ofufe zuo oke.
10 being only (with foods and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
Kama ha bụ naanị usoro iwu metụtara ihe oriri na ihe ọṅụṅụ na ụdị baptizim dị iche iche nke anụ ahụ, bụ nke e nyere ka a na-eme ya ruo mgbe a ga-edozigharị ihe niile.
11 But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
Mgbe Kraịst bịara dị ka onyeisi nchụaja nke ezi ihe ahụ dị ugbu a, site nʼụlọ ikwu dị ukwuu zuruoke nke a na-ejighị aka mee, nke na-esoghị nʼihe e kere eke,
12 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 consummate (aiōnios g166) redemption.
o jighị ọbara ụmụ ewu na nke ụmụ ehi banye nʼebe ahụ, kama o ji ọbara nke ya onwe ya banye nʼEbe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ naanị otu mgbe, jiri ya wetara anyị niile mgbapụta ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
13 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,
Ma ọ bụrụ na ọbara ewu na nke oke ehi dị iche iche, ya na ntụ nwa agbọghọ ehi, nke e fekwasịrị ndị rụrụ arụ, pụrụ ido ha nsọ, meekwa ka ha dị ọcha nʼelu ahụ.
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the consummate (aiōnios g166) Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Ọbara Kraịst onye sitere na Mmụọ dị ebighị ebi were onwe ya chụọrọ Chineke aja nʼenweghị ntụpọ ọbụla, ọ ga-esi aṅaa ghara ịsachapụ omume ruru unyi nke akọnuche anyị, ka anyị nwee ike ife Chineke dị ndụ. (aiōnios g166)
15 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 consummate (aiōnios g166) inheritance.
Nʼihi nke a, ọ bụ onye ogbugbo nke ọgbụgba ndụ ọhụrụ, ka ndị a kpọrọ site na ya nata ihe nketa ebighị ebi ahụ bụ nke e kwere ha na nkwa. A pụrụ ime nke a nʼihi ọ nwụọla ọnwụ gbapụta ụmụ mmadụ site nʼikpe ọmụma nke mmehie ha mere nʼokpuru ọgbụgba ndụ nke mbụ ahụ. (aiōnios g166)
16 For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.
Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ ekee ekpe mgbe ọ nọ ndụ, a na-ebu ụzọ achọpụta ma onye kere ekpe ahụ ọ nwụọla.
17 For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.
Ekpe na-amalite ịdị ire mgbe onye kere ekpe ahụ nwụrụ, nʼihi na ihe mmadụ kere nʼekpe anaghị adị ire mgbe onye kere ya ka dị ndụ.
18 Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.
Ọ bụ nke a mere ọ bụladị ọgbụgba ndụ ochie ahụ jiri bụrụ ihe na-adịghị ire ruokwa mgbe ọbara batara na ya.
19 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 book itself and all the people,
Mgbe Mosis kwupụtachara ndị mmadụ iwu ahụ, o weere ọbara ụmụ ehi na ewu, ya na mmiri, ogbo uhie na hisọp fesaa nʼakwụkwọ iwu ahụ nakwa nʼelu mmadụ niile.
20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.”
Na-ekwu, “Nke a bụ ọbara ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ nke Chineke nyere unu iwu.”
21 He sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood.
Nʼotu aka ahụ, o fesakwara ọbara ahụ nʼelu ụlọ ikwu na nʼelu ihe niile dị nʼụlọ ikwu, bụ ihe niile e ji efe ofufe.
22 According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.
Nʼikwu eziokwu, dịka iwu si dị, ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla nke a na-adịghị eji ọbara edo ọcha. Ọ bụrụ na a wụsịghị ọbara, mgbaghara mmehie adịghị.
23 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.
O kwesiri ka e si otu a mee ka ihe ndị a yiri ihe ndị dị nʼeluigwe dị ọcha, ma ihe ndị dị nʼeluigwe nʼonwe ha kwesiri ka e nye ha aja dị mma karịa.
24 For Christ has not 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;
Nʼihi na ọ bụghị nʼebe nsọ nke mmadụ jiri aka wuo, nke yiri nke dị nʼeluigwe, ka Kraịst banyere, kama ọ banyere nʼime eluigwe nʼonwe ya, bụ ebe ọ na-anọchite anya anyị ugbu a nʼihu Chineke.
25 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,
Ọ banyeghị na ya ka o were onwe ya chụọ aja ọtụtụ ugboro, dị ka onyeisi nchụaja na-eji ọbara na-abụghị nke ya na-abanye nʼEbe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ kwa afọ.
26 or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the consummation of the ages (aiōn g165), he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Ọ bụrụ na o si otu a dịrị, ọ gaara abụ onye na-ahụ ahụhụ mgbe kemgbe e kere ụwa. Ma, dị ka o si dị, ọ bịara naanị otu ugboro nʼọgwụgwụ oge ndị a, iwezuga mmehie site nʼiji onwe ya chụọ aja. (aiōn g165)
27 Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,
Dị ka ọ bụ ihe a kwadooro mmadụ ọbụla ịnwụ naanị otu ugboro, ma e mesịa ikpe esochie,
28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
otu a ka e si chụọ Kraịst dị ka aja naanị otu ugboro iwepụ mmehie ọtụtụ mmadụ. Ọ ga-abịaghachi nke ugboro abụọ, ma ọ bụghị nʼihi ibu mmehie, kama ọ bụ nʼihi iweta nzọpụta nye ndị ahụ niile na-eche ọbịbịa ya.
