ibriṇaḥ 8
1 kathyamānānāṁ vākyānāṁ sāro'yam asmākam etādṛśa eko mahāyājako'sti yaḥ svarge mahāmahimnaḥ siṁhāsanasya dakṣiṇapārśvo samupaviṣṭavān
Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
2 yacca dūṣyaṁ na manujaiḥ kintvīśvareṇa sthāpitaṁ tasya satyadūṣyasya pavitravastūnāñca sevakaḥ sa bhavati|
a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, and not man.
3 yata ekaiko mahāyājako naivedyānāṁ balīnāñca dāne niyujyate, ato hetoretasyāpi kiñcid utsarjanīyaṁ vidyata ityāvaśyakaṁ|
For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
4 kiñca sa yadi pṛthivyām asthāsyat tarhi yājako nābhaviṣyat, yato ye vyavasthānusārāt naivedyāni dadatyetādṛśā yājakā vidyante|
Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Law;
5 te tu svargīyavastūnāṁ dṛṣṭāntena chāyayā ca sevāmanutiṣṭhanti yato mūsasi dūṣyaṁ sādhayitum udyate satīśvarastadeva tamādiṣṭavān phalataḥ sa tamuktavān, yathā, "avadhehi girau tvāṁ yadyannidarśanaṁ darśitaṁ tadvat sarvvāṇi tvayā kriyantāṁ|"
who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."
6 kintvidānīm asau tasmāt śreṣṭhaṁ sevakapadaṁ prāptavān yataḥ sa śreṣṭhapratijñābhiḥ sthāpitasya śreṣṭhaniyamasya madhyastho'bhavat|
But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as Law.
7 sa prathamo niyamo yadi nirddoṣo'bhaviṣyata tarhi dvitīyasya niyamasya kimapi prayojanaṁ nābhaviṣyat|
For if the first had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
8 kintu sa doṣamāropayan tebhyaḥ kathayati, yathā, "parameśvara idaṁ bhāṣate paśya yasmin samaye'ham isrāyelavaṁśena yihūdāvaṁśena ca sārddham ekaṁ navīnaṁ niyamaṁ sthirīkariṣyāmyetādṛśaḥ samaya āyāti|
For finding fault with them, he said, "Look, the days are coming," says the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
9 parameśvaro'paramapi kathayati teṣāṁ pūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ misaradeśād ānayanārthaṁ yasmin dine'haṁ teṣāṁ karaṁ dhṛtvā taiḥ saha niyamaṁ sthirīkṛtavān taddinasya niyamānusāreṇa nahi yatastai rmama niyame laṅghite'haṁ tān prati cintāṁ nākaravaṁ|
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them," says the Lord.
10 kintu parameśvaraḥ kathayati taddināt paramahaṁ isrāyelavaṁśīyaiḥ sārddham imaṁ niyamaṁ sthirīkariṣyāmi, teṣāṁ citte mama vidhīn sthāpayiṣyāmi teṣāṁ hṛtpatre ca tān lekhiṣyāmi, aparamahaṁ teṣām īśvaro bhaviṣyāmi te ca mama lokā bhaviṣyanti|
"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, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
11 aparaṁ tvaṁ parameśvaraṁ jānīhītivākyena teṣāmekaiko janaḥ svaṁ svaṁ samīpavāsinaṁ bhrātarañca puna rna śikṣayiṣyati yata ākṣudrāt mahāntaṁ yāvat sarvve māṁ jñāsyanti|
They will not teach each one his fellow citizen, and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
12 yato hetorahaṁ teṣām adharmmān kṣamiṣye teṣāṁ pāpānyaparādhāṁśca punaḥ kadāpi na smariṣyāmi|"
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins no more."
13 anena taṁ niyamaṁ nūtanaṁ gaditvā sa prathamaṁ niyamaṁ purātanīkṛtavān; yacca purātanaṁ jīrṇāñca jātaṁ tasya lopo nikaṭo 'bhavat|
In that he says, "new," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
