Hebræos 9

1 Habuit quidem et prius, iustificationes culturae, et Sanctum saeculare.

Then verily the first [covenant] had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

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

For there was a tabernacle made; the first, in which [was] the candlestick, and the table, and the show-bread; which is called the sanctuary.

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

And after the second vail, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

4 aureum habens turibulum, et arcam testamenti circumtectam ex omni parte auro, in qua urna aurea habens manna, et virga Aaron, quae fronduerat, et tabulae testamenti,

Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid around with gold, in which [was] the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

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

And over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

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

Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service [of God]:

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

But into the second [went] the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered 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 holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while the first tabernacle was yet standing:

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

Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

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

[Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the time of reformation.

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

But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

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

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood; he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us]. (aiōnios g166)

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

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctify to the purifying 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 spot to 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 praevaricationum, quae erant sub priori testamento, repromissionem accipiant qui vocati sunt aeternae hereditatis. (aiōnios g166)

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they who are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

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

For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

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

For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

18 Unde nec primum quidem sine sanguine dedicatum est.

Hence even the first [testament] was not 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 Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book and all the people,

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

Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined to you.

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

Moreover, he sprinkled likewise with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

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

And almost all things are by the law cleansed with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

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

[It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified 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 caelum, ut appareat nunc vultui Dei pro nobis:

For Christ hath not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

25 Neque ut saepe 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 every year with blood of others;

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

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)

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

And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment:

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

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him he will appear the second time without sin to salvation.
