Hebrews 10
1 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.
For the lawe hauinge a schadewe of good thingis `that ben to come, not the ilke image of thingis, mai neuer make men neiyinge perfit bi the ilke same sacrifices, which thei offren without ceessing bi alle yeeris;
2 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?
ellis thei schulden haue ceessid to be offrid, for as myche as the worschiperis clensid onys, hadden not ferthermore conscience of synne.
3 But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
But in hem mynde of synnes is maad bi alle yeris.
4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
For it is impossible that synnes be doon awei bi blood of boolis, and of buckis of geet.
5 Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.
Therfor he entrynge in to the world, seith, Thou woldist not sacrifice and offryng; but thou hast schapun a bodi to me;
6 You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
brent sacrificis also for synne plesiden not to thee.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’”
Thanne Y seide, Lo! Y come; in the bigynnyng of the book it is writun of me, that Y do thi wille, God.
8 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),
He seiynge bifor, That thou woldist not sacrificis, and offringis, and brent sacrifices for synne, ne tho thingis ben plesaunt to thee, whiche ben offrid bi the lawe,
9 then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
thanne Y seide, Lo! Y come, that Y do thi wille, God. He doith awei the firste, that he make stidfast the secounde.
10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
In which wille we ben halewid bi the offring of the bodi of Crist Jhesu onys.
11 Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
And ech prest is redi mynystrynge ech dai, and ofte tymes offringe the same sacrifices, whiche moun neuere do awei synnes.
12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,
But this man offringe o sacrifice for synnes, for euere more sittith in the riythalf of God the fadir;
13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
fro thennus forth abidinge, til hise enemyes ben put a stool of hise feet.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
For bi oon offring he made perfit for euere halewid men.
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
And the Hooli Goost witnessith to vs; for aftir that he seide, This is the testament,
16 “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,
which Y schal witnesse to hem after tho daies, the Lord seith, in yyuynge my lawes in the hertis of hem, and in the soulis of hem Y schal aboue write hem;
17 “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”
and now Y schal no more thenke on the synnes and the wickidnessis of hem.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
And where remyssioun of these is, now is ther noon offring for synne.
19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
Therfor, britheren, hauynge trist in to the entring of hooli thingis in the blood of Crist,
20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
which halewide to vs a newe weie, and lyuynge bi the hiling, that is to seie,
21 and having a great priest over God’s house,
his fleisch, and we hauynge the greet preest on the hous of God,
22 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,
neiye we with very herte in the plente of feith; and be oure hertis spreined fro an yuel conscience, and oure bodies waischun with clene watir,
23 let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
and holde we the confessioun of oure hope, bowinge to no side; for he is trewe that hath made the biheeste.
24 Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,
And biholde we togidere in the stiring of charite and of good werkis; not forsakinge oure gadering togidere,
25 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.
as it is of custom to sum men, but coumfortinge, and bi so myche the more, bi hou myche ye seen the dai neiyynge.
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
Forwhi now a sacrifice for synnes is not left to vs, that synnen wilfuli, aftir that we han take the knowyng of treuthe.
27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
Forwhi sum abiding of the dom is dreedful, and the suyng of fier, which schal waste aduersaries.
28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
Who that brekith Moises lawe, dieth withouten ony merci, bi tweine or thre witnessis;
29 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?
hou myche more gessen ye, that he disserueth worse turmentis, which defouleth the sone of God, and holdith the blood of the testament pollut, in which he is halewid, and doith dispit to the spirit of grace?
30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
For we knowen him that seide, To me veniaunce, and Y schal yelde. And eft, For the Lord schal deme his puple.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
It is ferdful to falle in to the hondis of God lyuynge.
32 But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:
And haue ye mynde on the formere daies, in which ye weren liytned, and suffriden greet strijf of passiouns.
33 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
And in the `tothir ye weren maad a spectacle bi schenschipis and tribulaciouns; in an othir ye weren maad felowis of men lyuynge so.
34 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.
For also to boundun men ye hadden compassioun, and ye resseyueden with ioye the robbyng of youre goodis, knowinge that ye han a betere and a dwellinge substaunce.
35 Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
Therfor nyle ye leese youre trist, which hath greet rewarding.
36 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
For pacience is nedeful to you, that ye do the wille of God, and bringe ayen the biheest.
37 “In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.
For yit a litil, and he that is to comynge schal come, and he schal not tarie.
38 But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”
For my iust man lyueth of feith; that if he withdrawith hym silf, he schal not plese to my soule.
39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
But we ben not the sones of withdrawing awei in to perdicioun, but of feith in to getynge of soule.
