[Hebrews 08]

[HEBREWS] 希伯來書 08

Jesus Our High Priest 

01/The whole point
{what we are saying of} 
is that/ we have such a High Priest,
{who sits at the right (of the throne)
(of the Divine Majesty) (in heaven)}.

02/He serves <as High Priest>
<in the Most Holy Place>
{that is in the real tent}
{which was put up <by the Lord>
<not by human hands>}. 

03/Every high priest is appointed
to present offerings and animal sacrifices
to God,
<and so>,
our High Priest must also have
something to offer.

04/<If>
he were on earth,//
he would not be a priest at all,
<since> there are priests
{who offer the gifts 
(required by the Jewish Law)}.  

05/The work {they do <as priests>}
is really only a copy and a shdow 
(of what is in heaven). 

## It is the same <as> it was with Moses.
<when> he was about to build
the Sacred Tent,//
God told him,
"Be sure to make everything
<according to the pattern>
{you were shown <on the mountain>}.

06/<But now>
Jesus <as the covenant>
{which he arranged 
<between God and his people>}
is the better one,
<because>
it is based <on promises (ot better things)>.

07/<If>
there had been nothing wrong
<with the first covenant>,//
there would have been no need
<for a second one>.

08/<But>
god finds fault <with his people>
<when> he says,
"The days are coming,
<when> I will draw up a new covenant
<with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah>".

09/"It will be like the covenant
{that I made with their ancestors
<on the day> {I took them <by the hand>
and led them <out of Egypt>}."

## They were not faithful to the covenant
{that I made with them before},
and so I paid no attention to them>."

10/"<Now>,
this is the new covenant
{that I will make with the people of Israel
<in the days to come>.

##  I WILL PUT MY LAW <IN THEIR MINDS>
AND WRITE THEM <ON THEIR HEARTS>.
##  I WILL BE THEIR GOD,
AND THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE."

11/"None of them will have to teach
his fellow-citizen
or say to his fellow countryman,
'Know the Lord!'
<for>
they will all know me,
<from the least to the greatest."

12/"I will forgive their sins
and will no longer remember their wrongs."

13/<BY SPEAKING OF A NEW COVENANT>,
GOD HAS MADE 'THE FIRST ONE' OLD;
AND ANYTHING
{THAT BECOMES OLD AND WORN OUT}
WILL SOON DISAPPEAR.
