Hepelū 10

1 He ko e meʻa ʻi he maʻu ʻe he fono ʻae ʻata pe ʻoe ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻe hoko, kae ʻikai ko hono tatau moʻoni ʻoe ngaahi meʻa, ʻoka ʻikai faʻa fai ia ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau ko ia ʻoku nau faʻa ʻatu ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē, ke fakahaohaoaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai ki ai.

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

2 He ka ne pehē, ʻikai kuo tuku hono feilaulauʻaki? He koeʻuhi koe kau lotu kuo fakamaʻa ʻo tuʻo taha, ʻe ʻikai te nau kei ongoʻi loto ʻae angahala.

For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

3 Ka ʻi he ngaahi [feilaulau] ko ia [ʻoku ai ]ʻae fakamanatu ki he angahala ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē.

But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

4 He ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito mafai ke ʻave ʻae angahala ʻe he toto ʻoe fanga pulu mo e fanga kosi.

For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

5 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe ia, ʻi heʻene hāʻele mai ki māmani, “Ko e feilaulau mo e meʻa foaki naʻe ʻikai te ke finangalo ki ai, ka kuo ke teuteu ʻae sino moʻoku:

Why when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me:

6 Ko e ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻoku ʻikai te ke fiemālie ai.

In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure.

7 Peau toki pehē, ‘ʻE ʻOtua, vakai, ʻoku ou haʻu ke fai ho finangalo: he kuo tohi ʻi he tohi tākai ʻiate au.’”

Then said I, See, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me, ) to do your will, O God.

8 Pea ʻi heʻene fuofua pehē mai, “Ko e feilaulau mo e meʻa foaki mo e feilaulau tutu mo e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala, naʻe ʻikai te ke finangalo ki ai,” pe fiemālie ai ʻaia ʻoku ʻatu ʻo fakatatau ki he fono;

Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

9 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻOtua, vakai, ʻoku ou haʻu ke fai ho finangalo.” ʻOku ne ʻave ʻae ʻuluaki, ka ne fokotuʻumaʻu hono ua.

Then said he, See, I come to do your will, O God. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second.

10 Pea ko e finangalo ko ia ʻoku fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ai ʻakitautolu, ʻi he feilaulau ʻaki ʻae sino ʻo Sisu Kalaisi ʻo liunga taha pe.

By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 Pea ʻoku tuʻu ʻae taulaʻeiki kotoa pē ʻi he ʻaho fulipē ʻo tauhi, mo feilaulau ʻaki ʻo liunga lahi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau pe ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa fai ke ʻave ʻae angahala:

And every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

12 Ka ko ia, kuo hili ʻene ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ʻe taha koeʻuhi ko e angahala, pea nofo ia ʻo taʻengata ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻOtua;

But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

13 Pea talu mei ai, mo ʻene ʻamanaki, kaeʻoua ke ngaohi hono ngaahi fili ko hono tuʻungavaʻe.

From now on expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

14 He ko e feilaulau pe taha kuo ne fakahaohaoa ai ʻo taʻengata ʻakinautolu kuo fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi.

For by one offering he has perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

15 ‌ʻAia ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kitautolu: he kuo hili ʻene muʻaki lea mai,

Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

16 “Ko e fuakava eni ʻaia te u fai mo kinautolu ʻoka hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u ʻai ʻeku ngaahi fekau ki honau loto, pea te u tohi ia ʻi honau laumālie;

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

17 Pea “ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala mo ʻenau ngaahi hia, ʻe ʻikai te u kei manatuʻi.”

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

18 Pea ko ia [ʻoku ʻi ai ]ʻae fakamolemole ʻo ia, ʻe ʻikai ha kei feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala.

Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

19 Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻapaʻapangofua ʻetau hū ki he potu tapu ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻo Sisu,

Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20 ‌ʻI he hala foʻou pea moʻui, ʻaia kuo ne fakatapui moʻotautolu, ʻi he puipui, ʻaia ko hono sino;

By a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

21 Pea [ʻi he ai ]mo e fungani taulaʻeiki ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua;

And having an high priest over the house of God;

22 Ke tau ʻunuʻunu atu ʻi he loto moʻoni mo e ʻamanaki mālohi ʻoe tui, kuo luluku hotau loto mei he ʻatamai kovi, pea fakamaʻa mo hotau sino ʻaki ʻae vai maʻa.

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Ke tau puke maʻu ʻae fakahā ʻoe tau tui ʻo taʻengaueue; (he ʻoku moʻoni ia kuo ne fakaʻilo; )

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised; )

24 Pea tau fetokangaʻaki ke fefakaʻaiʻaiʻaki ʻakitautolu ki he ʻofa mo e ngaahi ngaue lelei:

And let us consider one another to provoke to love and to good works:

25 Ke ʻoua naʻa siʻaki ʻekitautolu ʻe tau faʻa fakataha ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he niʻihi; kae feakonakiʻaki [ʻakimoutolu]: pea ʻāsili ai, ko hoʻomou ʻilo ʻoku ofi mai ʻae ʻaho.

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.

26 He kapau te tau angahala ka ko hotau loto, ka kuo hili ʻetau maʻu ʻae ʻilo ʻoe moʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai kei toe ha feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala,

For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,

27 Ka ko e ʻamanaki fakailifia ki he fakamaau mo e houhau vela, ʻaia ʻe fakaʻauha ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fili.

But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28 Ko ia naʻa ne maumauʻi ʻae fono ʻa Mōsese, naʻe mate taʻefakamolemolea ʻi he fakamoʻoni ʻe toko ua pe toko tolu:

He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

29 Pea ʻoku mou pehē, ʻe fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe tautea ʻe taau ke hoko kiate ia, kuo ne malaki hifo ʻae ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ne ui ʻae taʻataʻa ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia naʻe fakamaʻa ʻaki ia, ko e meʻa taʻemaʻa, pea kuo ne fai fakamamahi ki he Laumālie ʻoe ʻaloʻofa?

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, 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 done despite to the Spirit of grace?

30 He ʻoku tau ʻilo ia ʻaia kuo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻae tautea, te u totongi ʻeau.” Pea toe pehē, “E fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai.”

For we know him that has says, Vengeance belongs to me, I will recompense, said the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

31 Ko e meʻa fakailifia ke tō ki he nima ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 Ka mou fakamanatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa, ne hili homou fakamāmangia, pea ne mou kātaki ʻae taʻu lahi ʻoe ngaahi mamahi;

But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions;

33 Ko e niʻihi, ʻi hono ngaohi ʻakimoutolu ko e siofiaʻanga ʻi he ngaahi manuki mo e ngaahi fakamamahi; pea ko e niʻihi, ʻi hoʻomou kaumeʻa mo kinautolu naʻe pehē ʻa honau ngaohi.

Partly, whilst you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used.

34 He naʻa mou manavaʻofa kiate au ʻi hoku ngaahi haʻi, pea naʻa mou tali fiefia ʻae maumau ʻo hoʻomou koloa, ko hoʻomou ʻilo ʻoku mou maʻu ʻi he langi ʻae koloa lelei lahi hake pea tolonga.

For you had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

35 Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa siʻaki hoʻomou tui, ʻaia ʻoku lahi hono totongi lelei.

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense of reward.

36 He ʻoku taau mo kimoutolu ʻae faʻa kātaki, koeʻuhi ka hili hoʻomou fai ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ke mou maʻu ʻae talaʻofa.

For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.

37 “Koeʻuhi ʻe toetoe siʻi pe, pea ko ia ʻoku haʻu, ʻe haʻu pe, pea ʻe ʻikai fakatuai.

For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

38 Pea ko eni, ʻE moʻui ʻae tonuhia ʻi he tui, ka, ʻOka fakaholomui ia, ʻe ʻikai fiemālie hoku laumālie kiate ia.”

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

39 Ka ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻonautolu ʻoku fakaholomui ki he malaʻia; kae ʻonautolu ʻoku tui ki he fakamoʻui ʻoe laumālie.

But we are not of them who draw back to perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
