Hebræos 9

1 Habuit quidem et prius, iustificationes culturæ, et Sanctum sæculare.

Now even the first [covenant] had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, [a sanctuary] of this world.

2 Tabernaculum enim factum est primum, in quo erant candelabra, et mensa, et propositio panum, quæ dicitur Sancta.

For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein [were] the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the Holy place.

3 Post velamentum autem secundum, tabernaculum, quod dicitur Sancta sanctorum:

And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;

4 aureum habens thuribulum, et arcam testamenti circumtectam ex omni parte auro, in qua urna aurea habens manna, et virga Aaron, quæ fronduerat, et tabulæ testamenti,

having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

5 superque eam erant Cherubim gloriæ obumbrantia propitiatorium: de quibus non est modo dicendum per singula.

and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.

6 His vero ita compositis: in priori quidem tabernaculo semper introibant sacerdotes, sacrificiorum officia consummantes:

Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services;

7 in secundo autem semel in anno solus pontifex non sine sanguine, quem offert pro sua, et populi ignorantia:

but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people:

8 hoc significante Spiritu sancto, nondum propalatam esse sanctorum viam, adhuc priore tabernaculo habente statum.

the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing;

9 quæ parabola est temporis instantis: iuxta quam munera, et hostiæ offeruntur, quæ non possunt iuxta conscientiam perfectum facere servientem, solummodo in cibis, et in potibus,

which [is] a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect,

10 et variis baptismatibus, et iustitiis carnis usque ad tempus correctionis impositis.

[being] only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

11 Christus autem assistens pontifex futurorum bonorum, per amplius et perfectius tabernaculum non manufactum, id est, non huius creationis:

But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

12 neque per sanguinem hircorum, aut vitulorum, sed per proprium sanguinem introivit semel in Sancta, æterna redemptione inventa. (aiōnios g166)

nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)

13 Si enim sanguis hircorum, et taurorum, et cinis vitulæ aspersus inquinatos sanctificat ad emundationem carnis:

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiled, sanctify unto the cleanness of the flesh:

14 quanto magis sanguis Christi, qui per Spiritum sanctum semetipsum obtulit immaculatum Deo, emundabit conscientiam nostram ab operibus mortuis, ad serviendum Deo viventi? (aiōnios g166)

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)

15 Et ideo novi testamenti mediator est: ut morte intercedente, in redemptionem earum prævaricationum, quæ erant sub priori testamento, repromissionem accipiant qui vocati sunt æternæ hereditatis. (aiōnios g166)

And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

16 Ubi enim testamentum est: mors necesse est intercedat testatoris.

For where a testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him that made it.

17 Testamentum enim in mortuis confirmatum est: alioquin nondum valet, dum vivit qui testatus est.

For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth.

18 Unde nec primum quidem sine sanguine dedicatum est.

Wherefore even the first [covenant] hath not been dedicated without blood.

19 Lecto enim omni mandato legis a Moyse universo populo: accipiens sanguinem vitulorum et hircorum cum aqua et lana coccinea, et hyssopo: ipsum quoque librum, et omnem populum aspersit,

For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses unto all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

20 dicens: Hic sanguis testamenti, quod mandavit ad vos Deus.

saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you-ward.

21 Etiam tabernaculum, et omnia vasa ministerii sanguine similiter aspersit:

Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he sprinkled in like manner with the blood.

22 Et omnia pene in sanguine secundum legem mundantur: et sine sanguinis effusione non fit remissio.

And according to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

23 Necesse est ergo exemplaria quidem cælestium his mundari: ipsa autem cælestia melioribus hostiis quam istis.

It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24 Non enim in manufacta Sancta Iesus introivit exemplaria verorum: sed in ipsum cælum, ut appareat nunc vultui Dei pro nobis:

For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:

25 Neque ut sæpe offerat semetipsum, quemadmodum Pontifex intrat in Sancta per singulos annos in sanguine alieno:

nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;

26 alioquin oportebat eum frequenter pati ab origine mundi: nunc autem semel in consummatione sæculorum, ad destitutionem peccati, per hostiam suam apparuit. (aiōn g165)

else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)

27 Et quemadmodum statutum est hominibus semel mori, post hoc autem iudicium:

And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this [cometh] judgment;

28 sic et Christus semel oblatus est ad multorum exhaurienda peccata: secundo sine peccato apparebit expectantibus se, in salutem.

so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation.
