| 1 وَأَمَّا رَأْسُ الْكَلاَمِ فَهُوَ: أَنَّ لَنَا رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ مِثْلَ هذَا ،قَدْ جَلَسَ فِي يَمِينِ عَرْشِ الْعَظَمَةِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ | 1 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 خَادِمًا لِلأَقْدَاسِ وَالْمَسْكَنِ الْحَقِيقِيِّ الَّذِي نَصَبَهُ الرَّبُّ لاَ إِنْسَانٌ. | 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. |
|
| 3 لأَنَّ كُلَّ رَئِيسِ كَهَنَةٍ يُقَامُ لِكَيْ يُقَدِّمَ قَرَابِينَ وَذَبَائِحَ. فَمِنْ ثَمَّ يَلْزَمُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِهذَا أَيْضًا شَيْءٌ يُقَدِّمُهُ. | 3 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 فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ لَمَا كَانَ كَاهِنًا، إِذْ يُوجَدُ الْكَهَنَةُ الَّذِينَ يُقَدِّمُونَ قَرَابِينَ حَسَبَ النَّامُوسِ، | 4 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 الَّذِينَ يَخْدِمُونَ شِبْهَ السَّمَاوِيَّاتِ وَظِلَّهَا، كَمَا أُوحِيَ إِلَى مُوسَى وَهُوَ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ الْمَسْكَنَ. لأَنَّهُ قَالَ:«انْظُرْ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَسَبَ الْمِثَالِ الَّذِي أُظْهِرَ لَكَ فِي الْجَبَلِ». | 5 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, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. |
|
| 6 وَلكِنَّهُ الآنَ قَدْ حَصَلَ عَلَى خِدْمَةٍ أَفْضَلَ بِمِقْدَارِ مَا هُوَ وَسِيطٌ أَيْضًا لِعَهْدٍ أَعْظَمَ، قَدْ تَثَبَّتَ عَلَى مَوَاعِيدَ أَفْضَلَ. | 6 But now hath 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 فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ ذلِكَ الأَوَّلُ بِلاَ عَيْبٍ لَمَا طُلِبَ مَوْضِعٌ لِثَانٍ. | 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. |
|
| 8 لأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ لاَئِمًا:«هُوَذَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، حِينَ أُكَمِّلُ مَعَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَعَ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا عَهْدًا جَدِيدًا. | 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: |
|
| 9 لاَ كَالْعَهْدِ الَّذِي عَمِلْتُهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ يَوْمَ أَمْسَكْتُ بِيَدِهِمْ لأُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَثْبُتُوا فِي عَهْدِي، وَأَنَا أَهْمَلْتُهُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | 9 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, saith the Lord. |
|
| 10 لأَنَّ هذَا هُوَ الْعَهْدُ الَّذِي أَعْهَدُهُ مَعَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدَ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: أَجْعَلُ نَوَامِيسِي فِي أَذْهَانِهِمْ، وَأَكْتُبُهَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلهًا وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا. | 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith 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 وَلاَ يُعَلِّمُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قَرِيبَهُ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَخَاهُ قَائِلاً: اعْرِفِ الرَّبَّ، لأَنَّ الْجَمِيعَ سَيَعْرِفُونَنِي مِنْ صَغِيرِهِمْ إِلَى كَبِيرِهِمْ. | 11 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 لأَنِّي أَكُونُ صَفُوحًا عَنْ آثَامِهِمْ، وَلاَ أَذْكُرُ خَطَايَاهُمْ وَتَعَدِّيَاتِهِمْ فِي مَا بَعْدُ». | 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. |
|
| 13 فَإِذْ قَالَ «جَدِيدًا» عَتَّقَ الأَوَّلَ. وَأَمَّا مَا عَتَقَ وَشَاخَ فَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ الاضْمِحْلاَلِ. | 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. |
