Hebrews 10
1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
You see, the Law is but a shadow of the good things to come, not their actual matter, so it can never perfect those who approach with the same sacrifices that they offer endlessly, year after year.
2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
Otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers would have had no more consciousness of sins, having been cleansed once for all?
3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
However, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins,
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Therefore, upon coming into the world He[S] says: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You prepared a body for me;
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
with burnt offerings and sin offerings You were not pleased.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me, ) to do thy will, O YHWH.
Then I said, ‘Yes indeed, I have come to do Your will, O God —thus it is written about me in the scroll of the book.’”
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
First He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor were You pleased with them” (which are offered according to the Law),
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O YHWH. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
then He says, “Yes indeed, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He removes the first in order to establish the second.
10 By the which will we are set apart through the offering of the body of Yahushua the Messiah once for all.
By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Now every priest has stood ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices that can never take away sins;
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of YHWH;
but He Himself, having offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, sat down at God's right.
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
Since that time He is waiting until His enemies are placed as a footstool for His feet,
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are set apart.
because by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Spirit also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
Now the Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this, after having foreseen it:
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith YHWH, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
“‘This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,’ says the Lord, ‘I will put my laws on their hearts and I will write them on their minds,
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
and I will not at all remember their sins and lawless deeds.’”
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Yahushua,
Therefore, brothers, having courage to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
by a new and living way that He inaugurated for us, through the curtain, that is to say, His flesh,
21 And having an high priest over the house of YHWH;
and having a Great Priest over the house of God,
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts having been sprinkled from an evil conscience and our body having been washed with clean water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised; )
Let us hold fast the confession of the Hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
And let us contemplate one another, for the stirring up of love and good works,
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves (like some are doing), but exhorting one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Because, if we deliberately keep on sinning after having received the real knowledge of the Truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
just a certain fearful anticipation of judgment and fierce fire that is ready to consume the hostiles.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Anyone who rejected Moses' law died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of YHWH, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was set apart, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of favour?
Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be deemed worthy who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has regarded as unholy the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith YHWH. And again, YHWH shall judge his people.
For we know Him who said, “‘Vengeance is up to me,’ says the Lord, ‘I will repay.’” And again, “The Lord will judge His people.”
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living Elohim.
It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God!
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
However, remember those earlier days in which, having been enlightened, you endured a great struggle of sufferings:
33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
partly being publicly exposed to both insults and oppression, and partly siding with those who were so treated.
34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
Indeed, you also shared in the suffering of my chains; you even accepted the plundering of your possessions with joy, knowing that you have for yourselves a better and enduring possession in the heavens.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
So do not throw away your confidence, which has a great recompense.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of YHWH, ye might receive the promise.
You need perseverance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
For in a very little while: “He who is coming will come and will not delay.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Now the righteous one will live by faith, yet if he backs away, my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
But we are not of those who back away into ruin, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
