ヘブル人への手紙 8

1 第二款 キリストは其司祭職の執行を以て舊約の司祭に優り給ふ 今言ふ所の要點は是なり、即ち我等の有する大司祭は天に於て至大[なる稜威]の玉座の右に坐し給ひ、

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

2 聖所の役者にして、人の立てしにはあらで主の立て給ひし、眞の幕屋の役者にて在す。

A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

3 夫総て大司祭の立てらるるは、供物と犠牲とを献げん為なれば、彼も亦必ず献ぐべき何者かを有し給はざるべからず。

For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

4 若地上に居給はば司祭と成り給はざるべし、其は律法に從ひて供物を献ぐる人々既にあればなり。

For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

5 此人々は、在天の事物の模、及び影に奉事するのみ、恰もモイゼが幕屋を造らんとせし時に告げられしが如し、曰く、「看よ、何事も山に於て汝に示されし模型に從ひて之を為せ」と。

Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, says he, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you in the mount.

6 然れど我等の大司祭が現に尚善き聖役を得給ひしは、尚善き約束を以て保證せられたる、尚善き契約の仲介者たるに應じてなり。

But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

7 蓋彼第一の契約に缺點なかりせば、第二のものを立つる餘地なかるべしと雖も、

For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

8 [神]人々を咎めて曰ひけるは、「主曰く、看よ、日來らんとす、而して我イスラエルの家の上、又ユダの家の上に新約を全うすべし、

For finding fault with them, he says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

9 是我が彼等の先祖をエジプトの地より救出さんとて其手を取りし時、之に為しし約の如きものに非ず、蓋彼等は我約に止らざりしかば、我も亦彼等を顧みざりき、と主曰へり。

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, says the Lord.

10 即ち主曰はく、彼日の後、イスラエルの家に我が立てんとする約は斯なり、我律法を其精神に置き、之を其心に書記さん、而して我は彼等に神と成り、彼等は我に民と成るべし。

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11 又各其近き者、其兄弟に教へて、主を知れと言ふ事あらじ、其は小き者より大いなる者に至るまで悉く我を知るべければなり。

And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

12 蓋我彼等の不義を憫み、曾て其罪を記憶せざるべし」と。

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

13 然て新と曰へば、前のものを舊とし給ひしなり、舊にして老衰せるものは亡に近し。

In that he says, A new covenant, he has made the first old. Now that which decays and waxs old is ready to vanish away.
