< Hebrews 10 >

1 For the lawe which hath but the shadowe of good thynges to come and not the thynges in their awne fassion can never with ye sacryfises which they offer yere by yere continually make the comers thervnto parfayte.
For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
2 For wolde not then those sacrifises have ceased to have bene offered because that the offerers once pourged shuld have had no moare conscieces of sinnes.
Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?
3 Neverthelesse in those sacrifises is ther mencion made of synnes every yeare.
But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
4 For it is vnpossible that the bloud of oxen and of gotes shuld take awaye synnes.
For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
5 Wherfore when he commeth into the worlde he sayth: Sacrifice and offeringe thou woldest not have: but a bodie hast thou ordeyned me.
Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.
6 In sacrifices and synne offerynges thou hast no lust.
You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
7 Then I sayde: Lo I come in the chefest of the boke it is written of me that I shuld doo thy will o god.
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’”
8 Above when he had sayed sacrifice and offerynge and burnt sacrifices and synne offerynges thou woldest not have nether hast alowed (which yet are offered by the lawe)
Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law),
9 and then sayde: Lo I come to do thy will o god: he taketh awaye the fyrst to stablisshe the latter.
then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
10 By the which will we are sanctified by the offeringe of the body of Iesu Christe once for all.
by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every prest is redy dayly ministrynge and ofte tymes offereth one maner of offerynge which can never take awaye synnes.
Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
12 But this man after he had offered one sacrifyce for synnes sat him doune for ever on the right honde of god
but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,
13 and from hence forth tarieth till his foes be made his fotestole.
from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
14 For with one offerynge hath he made parfecte for ever them yt are sanctified.
For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
15 And ye holy goost also beareth vs recorde of this even when he tolde before:
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
16 This is the testament that I will make vnto them after those dayes sayth the lorde. I will put my lawes in their hertes and in their mynde I will 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 heart, I will also write them on their mind;” then he says,
17 and their synnes and iniquyties will I remember no moare.
“I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”
18 And where remission of these thinges is there is no moare offerynge for synne.
Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Seynge brethren that by the meanes of the bloud of Iesu we maye be bolde to enter into that holy place
Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
20 by the newe and livynge waye which he hath prepared for vs through the vayle that is to saye by his flesshe.
by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
21 And seynge also that we have an hye prest which is ruler over ye housse of god
and having a great priest over God’s house,
22 let vs drawe nye with a true herte in a full fayth sprynckeled in oure hertes from an evyll conscience and wesshed in oure bodies with pure water
let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water,
23 and let vs kepe the profession of oure hope with oute waveringe (for he is faythfull that promysed)
let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
24 and let vs consyder one another to provoke vnto love and to good workes:
Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,
25 and let vs not forsake the felishippe that we have amoge oure selves as the maner of some is: but let vs exhorte one another and that so moche the more because ye se that the daye draweth nye.
not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
26 For yf we synne willyngly after that we have receaved the knowledge of the trueth there remayneth no more sacrifice for synnes
For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a fearfull lokynge for iudgement and violent fyre which shall devoure the adversaries
but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
28 He that despiseth Moses lawe dyeth with out mercy vnder two or thre witnesses.
A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
29 Of how moche sorer punyshment suppose ye shall he be counted worthy which treadeth vnderfote the sonne of god: and counteth the bloude of the testament as an vnholy thynge wherwith he was sanctified and doth dishonoure to the sprete of grace.
How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 For we knowe him that hath sayde vengeaunce belongeth vnto me I will recompence sayth the lorde. And agayne: the lorde shall iudge his people.
For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
31 It is a fearfull thynge to faule into the hondes of the livynge God.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Call to remebraunce the dayes that are passed in the which after ye had receaved light ye endured a greate fyght in adversities
But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:
33 partly whill all men wondred and gased at you for the shame and trioulacion that was done vnto you and partly whill ye became companyons of the which so passed their tyme.
partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
34 For ye suffered also with my bondes and toke a worth the spoylynge of youre goodes and that with gladnes knowynge in youre selves how that ye had in heven a better and an endurynge substaunce
For you both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.
35 Cast not awaye therfore youre confidence which hath great rewarde to recopence.
Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
36 For ye have nede of paciece that after ye have done ye will of god ye myght receave the promes.
For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37 For yet a very lytell whyle and he that shall come will come and will not tary.
“In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.
38 But the iust shall live by faith. And yf he withdrawe him silfe my soule shall have no pleasure in him.
But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 We are not whiche withdrawe oure selves vnto dampnacio but partayne to fayth to the wynnynge of the soule.
But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
