Hebrews 9
1 [To continue]: In the first [covenant, God] regulated how people [should perform] rituals, and [he told them to make] [MTY] a sanctuary.
Es hatte nun zwar auch der erste Bund Satzungen des Dienstes und das Heiligtum, ein weltliches.
2 [That sanctuary] was a tent that [the Israelites] set up. In its outer room there was the lampstand and the table [on which they put] the bread that [the priests] presented [to God. That room] was called ‘the holy place’.
Denn eine Hütte wurde zugerichtet, die vordere, in welcher sowohl der Leuchter war als auch der Tisch und die Darstellung der Brote, welche das Heilige genannt wird;
3 Behind the curtain inside [the holy place] there was [another] room. That was called ‘the very holy place’.
hinter dem zweiten Vorhang aber eine Hütte, welche das Allerheiligste genannt wird,
4 It had an altar, [made from] gold, [for burning] incense. [It also had the chest which they called] the chest of the covenant. All its sides were covered with gold. In it was the golden pot which contained [pieces of the food they called] manna. [That was the food with which God miraculously fed the people before they entered the promised land]. In the chest there was also Aaron’s walking stick that budded [to prove that he was God’s true priest]. In the chest were also the stone tablets [on which God had written] the Ten Commandments.
die ein goldenes Räucherfaß hatte und die Lade des Bundes, überall mit Gold überdeckt, in welcher der goldene Krug war, der das Manna enthielt, und der Stab Aarons, der gesproßt hatte, und die Tafeln des Bundes;
5 On top of [the chest] were [figures of] winged creatures [that symbolized God’s] glory. Their [wings] overshadowed the chest’s lid where [the high priest sprinkled the blood] (to [atone for/to forgive]) [those who had sinned. I] do not [need] to write about these things in detail now.
oben über derselben aber die Cherubim der Herrlichkeit, den Versöhnungsdeckel überschattend, von welchen Dingen jetzt nicht im einzelnen zu reden ist.
6 After all those things were prepared {After they had prepared all those things like that} [in the two rooms of the tent], the [Jewish] priests habitually went into the outer [room of the] tent to perform their rituals.
Da nun dieses also eingerichtet ist, gehen in die vordere Hütte allezeit die Priester hinein und vollbringen den Dienst;
7 But into the inner room, only the Supreme Priest [went], once a year. He always took [LIT] the blood [of animals that they had slaughtered]. He offered them [to God] for his own [sins] and for the sins that other people had committed. They included sins that they did not realize [were sinful].
in die zweite aber einmal des Jahres allein der Hohepriester, nicht ohne Blut, welches er für sich selbst und für die Verirrungen des Volkes darbringt;
8 By those things the Holy Spirit indicated that [just like God] did not reveal the way [for ordinary people] to enter into the inner room while the outer room still existed [MET], [similarly he did not reveal the way for ordinary people to enter the presence of God while the Jewish system of offering sacrifices was in effect].
wodurch der Heilige Geist dieses anzeigt, daß der Weg zum Heiligtum noch nicht geoffenbart ist, solange die vordere Hütte noch Bestand hat,
9 [The things that the priests did inside the outer room] [MTY] symbolized [what was true] during the time [when the first covenant was in effect]. According to [the first covenant] (OR, [In that outer room]), [priests] offered gifts and other sacrifices to God. But [by offering them], the people who brought them were unable to make themselves feel that they were no longer guilty for having sinned.
welches ein Gleichnis auf die gegenwärtige Zeit ist, nach welchem sowohl Gaben als auch Schlachtopfer dargebracht werden, die dem Gewissen nach den nicht vollkommen machen können, der den Gottesdienst übt,
10 [They brought those gifts and made those sacrifices] according to [regulations concerning] things to eat and drink, and [according to rules that required people to] wash various things. [God] declared that those regulations about our bodies were to be in effect until [he put into effect the new covenant]; that was a better system.
welcher allein in Speisen und Getränken und verschiedenen Waschungen besteht, in Satzungen des Fleisches, auferlegt bis auf die Zeit der Zurechtbringung.
11 But when Christ came as our Supreme Priest, [he brought] the good things that are now available. When he appeared, [he went into God’s presence in heaven. That is like a] [MET] very great and perfect tent not made by humans {which no human made} [SYN]; that is, it is not part of the world [God] created. It was better [than the tent Moses set up here on earth].
Christus aber, gekommen als Hoherpriester der zukünftigen Güter, in Verbindung mit der größeren und vollkommneren Hütte, die nicht mit Händen gemacht (das heißt nicht von dieser Schöpfung ist),
12 [When a Supreme Priest goes into the inner room in the tent each year, he takes] goats’ blood and calves’ blood [to offer as a sacrifice]. But Christ did not [do that. It was as though] he went into that very holy place only once, taking his own blood with him. By doing that, he eternally redeemed us. (aiōnios g166)
auch nicht mit Blut von Böcken und Kälbern, sondern mit seinem eigenen Blute, ist ein für allemal in das Heiligtum eingegangen, als er eine ewige Erlösung erfunden hatte. (aiōnios g166)
13 The priests sprinkle on people goats’ blood and bulls’ blood and [the water that has been filtered through] the ashes of a [red] heifer that has been [completely burned. By performing that ritual, they can ritually] cleanse the bodies of those who are [ceremonially] unclean. Furthermore, performing those rituals enabled people to have fellowship with God again.
Denn wenn das Blut von Böcken und Stieren und die Asche einer jungen Kuh, auf die Unreinen gesprengt, zur Reinigkeit des Fleisches heiligt,
14 [So, because we know what] Christ [accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died for us] [PRS, MTY], we will be very certain that we are not guilty [of having] done those things [that those who are spiritually] dead do. [As a result], we can serve God, who is all-powerful. [The priests always offer to God animals] with no defects. Similarly, when Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] to God, he was sinless [MET]. He did that as a result of [God’s] eternal Spirit [helping him]. (aiōnios g166)
wieviel mehr wird das Blut des Christus, der durch den ewigen Geist sich selbst ohne Flecken Gott geopfert hat, euer Gewissen reinigen von toten Werken, um den lebendigen Gott zu dienen! (aiōnios g166)
15 [By] dying [for us], [Christ] ([redeemed/] free from the penalty for their sins) even those who disobeyed the [conditions of] (OR, [during the time of]) the first covenant. So, [because] no [one could be made perfect by obeying the old covenant], now Christ establishes [between God and people] a new covenant. He does that in order that those whom God has chosen may eternally have [the blessings that God] has promised them. (aiōnios g166)
Und darum ist er Mittler eines neuen Bundes, damit, da der Tod stattgefunden hat zur Erlösung von den Übertretungen unter dem ersten Bunde, die Berufenen die Verheißung des ewigen Erbes empfingen; (aiōnios g166)
16 A covenant [is like a will. In the case of a will], [in order to put its provisions into effect], someone must prove that the one who made it has died.
(denn wo ein Testament ist, da muß notwendig der Tod dessen eintreten, der das Testament gemacht hat.
17 A will goes into effect [only when the one who makes the will] has died. It is not in effect when the one who made it is still alive.
Denn ein Testament ist gültig, wenn der Tod eingetreten ist, weil es niemals Kraft hat, solange der lebt, der das Testament gemacht hat; )
18 And so [God] put the first covenant into effect only [LIT] by means of [animals’] blood that was shed [when they were slaughtered].
daher ist auch der erste Bund nicht ohne Blut eingeweiht worden.
19 After Moses had declared to all the Israelites everything that God commanded in the laws [that God gave him], he took calves’ and goats’ blood [mixed] with water. He [dipped into it] scarlet wool [that he tied around] a sprig of hyssop. Then he sprinkled [with some of the blood] the scroll itself containing God’s laws. Then he sprinkled [more of that blood on all the] people,
Denn als jedes Gebot nach dem Gesetz von Moses zu dem ganzen Volke geredet war, nahm er das Blut der Kälber und Böcke mit Wasser und Purpurwolle und Ysop und besprengte sowohl das Buch selbst als auch das ganze Volk, und sprach:
20 saying to them, “This is the blood [which brings into effect] the covenant that God commanded that you [obey].”
“Dies ist das Blut des Bundes, den Gott für euch geboten hat”.
21 Likewise, he sprinkled with that blood the tent and every object that they used in performing rituals.
Und auch die Hütte und alle Gefäße des Dienstes besprengte er gleicherweise mit dem Blute;
22 It was by [sprinkling] blood that they [ritually] cleansed almost everything. That was what [was stated in] God’s laws. If blood is not shed [when people offer a sacrifice, God] cannot forgive [the person who is making the sacrifice].
und fast alle Dinge werden mit Blut gereinigt nach dem Gesetz, und ohne Blutvergießung gibt es keine Vergebung.
23 So, by rituals like that, it was necessary for [the priests] to cleanse the things that symbolized what Christ does [MTY] in heaven. But God has to [consecrate] the [people who will enter] [MTY] heaven [by means of] better sacrifices than those.
Es war nun nötig, daß die Abbilder der Dinge in den Himmeln hierdurch gereinigt wurden, die himmlischen Dinge selbst aber durch bessere Schlachtopfer als diese.
24 Christ did not enter a sanctuary that humans made. That one only represented the true [sanctuary]. Instead, he entered heaven itself, in order to now be in God’s presence [to plead with] God for us.
Denn der Christus ist nicht eingegangen in das mit Händen gemachte Heiligtum, ein Gegenbild des wahrhaftigen, sondern in den Himmel selbst, um jetzt vor dem Angesicht Gottes für uns zu erscheinen;
25 The [Jewish] Supreme Priest enters the very holy place once every year, taking blood that is not his own, [to offer it as a sacrifice]. But when Christ entered heaven, it was not in order to offer himself repeatedly like that.
auch nicht, auf daß er sich selbst oftmals opferte, wie der Hohepriester alljährlich in das Heiligtum hineingeht mit fremdem Blut;
26 [If that were so], he would have needed to suffer [and shed his blood] repeatedly since [the time when God] created the world. But instead, in this final age, [Christ] has appeared once in order that by sacrificing himself he could cause [that people] no longer will be [punished for their] sins. (aiōn g165)
sonst hätte er oftmals leiden müssen von Grundlegung der Welt an; jetzt aber ist er einmal in der Vollendung der Zeitalter geoffenbart worden zur Abschaffung der Sünde durch sein Opfer. (aiōn g165)
27 All people must die once, and after that [God] will judge them [for their sins].
Und ebenso wie es den Menschen gesetzt ist, einmal zu sterben, danach aber das Gericht, also wird auch der Christus,
28 Likewise, when Christ [died], [God] offered him once to be a sacrifice, to punish him instead of the many [people who had] sinned. He will come [to earth] a second time, not [in order to sacrifice himself again for those who] have sinned, but in order to [complete] his saving those who expectantly wait for him.
nachdem er einmal geopfert worden ist, um vieler Sünden zu tragen, zum zweiten Male denen, die ihn erwarten, ohne Sünde erscheinen zur Seligkeit.
