New Testament

Hebrews 10

1For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect.

σκιαν γαρ εχων ο νομος των μελλοντων αγαθων, ουκ αυτην την εικονα των πραγματων, κατ ενιαυτον ταις αυταις θυσιαις ας προσφερουσιν εις το διηνεκες, ουδεποτε δυναται τους προσερχομενους τελειωσαι·

2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

επει ουκ αν επαυσαντο προσφερομεναι, δια το μηδεμιαν εχειν ετι συνειδησιν αμαρτιων τους λατρευοντας, απαξ κεκαθαρμενους;

3But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.

αλλ εν αυταις αναμνησις αμαρτιων κατ ενιαυτον·

4For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.

αδυνατον γαρ αιμα ταυρων και τραγων αφαιρειν αμαρτιας.

5'Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me.

διο εισερχομενος εις τον κοσμον λεγει· θυσιαν και προσφοραν ουκ ηθελησας, σωμα δε κατηρτισω μοι·

6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure.

ολοκαυτωματα και περι αμαρτιας ουκ ευδοκησας·

7Then I said, 'Behold, I have come— In the volume of the book it is written of Me— To do Your will, O God.' '

τοτε ειπον· ιδου ηκω, εν κεφαλιδι βιβλιου γεγραπται περι εμου, του ποιησαι, ο θεος, το θελημα σου.

8Previously saying, 'Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them' (which are offered according to the law),

ανωτερον λεγων οτι θυσιαν και προσφοραν και ολοκαυτωματα και περι αμαρτιας ουκ ηθελησας ουδε ευδοκησας, αιτινες κατα τον νομον προσφερονται,

9then He said, 'Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.' He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

τοτε ειρηκεν· ιδου ηκω του ποιησαι, ο θεος, το θελημα σου. αναιρει το πρωτον ινα το δευτερον στηση.

10By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

εν ω θεληματι ηγιασμενοι εσμεν δια της προσφορας του σωματος του ιησου χριστου εφαπαξ.

11And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

και πας μεν ιερευς εστηκεν καθ ημεραν λειτουργων και τας αυτας πολλακις προσφερων θυσιας, αιτινες ουδεποτε δυνανται περιελειν αμαρτιας·

12But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,

αυτος δε μιαν υπερ αμαρτιων προσενεγκας θυσιαν εις το διηνεκες εκαθισεν εν δεξια του θεου,

13from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.

το λοιπον εκδεχομενος εως τεθωσιν οι εχθροι αυτου υποποδιον των ποδων αυτου.

14For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

μια γαρ προσφορα τετελειωκεν εις το διηνεκες τους αγιαζομενους.

15But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,

μαρτυρει δε ημιν και το πνευμα το αγιον· μετα γαρ το προειρηκεναι,

16'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 I will write them,'

αυτη η διαθηκη ην διαθησομαι προς αυτους μετα τας ημερας εκεινας, λεγει κυριος· διδους νομους μου επι καρδιας αυτων, και επι των διανοιων αυτων επιγραψω αυτους,

17then He adds, 'Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.'

και των αμαρτιων αυτων και των ανομιων αυτων ου μη μνησθω ετι.

18Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

οπου δε αφεσις τουτων, ουκετι προσφορα περι αμαρτιας.

19Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

εχοντες ουν, αδελφοι, παρρησιαν εις την εισοδον των αγιων εν τω αιματι του ιησου,

20by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,

ην ενεκαινισεν ημιν οδον προσφατον και ζωσαν δια του καταπετασματος, τουτ εστιν της σαρκος αυτου,

21and having a High Priest over the house of God,

και ιερεα μεγαν επι τον οικον του θεου,

22let 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.

προσερχωμεθα μετα αληθινης καρδιας εν πληροφορια πιστεως ερραντισμενοι τας καρδιας απο συνειδησεως πονηρας, και λελουμενοι το σωμα υδατι καθαρω

23Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

κατεχωμεν την ομολογιαν της ελπιδος ακλινη· πιστος γαρ ο επαγγειλαμενος·

24And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,

και κατανοωμεν αλληλους εις παροξυσμον αγαπης και καλων εργων,

25not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

μη εγκαταλειποντες την επισυναγωγην εαυτων, καθως εθος τισιν, αλλα παρακαλουντες, και τοσουτω μαλλον, οσω βλεπετε εγγιζουσαν την ημεραν.

26For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

εκουσιως γαρ αμαρτανοντων ημων μετα το λαβειν την επιγνωσιν της αληθειας, ουκετι περι αμαρτιων απολειπεται θυσια,

27but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

φοβερα δε τις εκδοχη κρισεως και πυρος ζηλος εσθιειν μελλοντος τους υπεναντιους.

28Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

αθετησας τις νομον μωυσεως χωρις οικτιρμων επι δυσιν η τρισιν μαρτυσιν αποθνησκει·

29Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

ποσω δοκειτε χειρονος αξιωθησεται τιμωριας ο τον υιον του θεου καταπατησας και το αιμα της διαθηκης κοινον ηγησαμενος, εν ω ηγιασθη, και το πνευμα της χαριτος ενυβρισας;

30For we know Him who said, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,' says the Lord. And again, 'The LORD will judge His people.'

οιδαμεν γαρ τον ειποντα· εμοι εκδικησις, εγω ανταποδωσω, [λεγει κυριος]· και παλιν· κυριος κρινει τον λαον αυτου.

31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

φοβερον το εμπεσειν εις χειρας θεου ζωντος.

32But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:

αναμιμνησκεσθε δε τας προτερον ημερας, εν αις φωτισθεντες πολλην αθλησιν υπεμεινατε παθηματων,

33partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated;

τουτο μεν ονειδισμοις τε και θλιψεσιν θεατριζομενοι, τουτο δε κοινωνοι των ουτως αναστρεφομενων γενηθεντες.

34for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven.

και γαρ τοις δεσμοις μου συνεπαθησατε και την αρπαγην των υπαρχοντων υμων μετα χαρας προσεδεξασθε, γινωσκοντες εχειν εν εαυτοις κρειττονα υπαρξιν εν ουρανοις και μενουσαν.

35Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

μη αποβαλητε ουν την παρρησιαν υμων, ητις εχει μισθαποδοσιαν μεγαλην.

36For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

υπομονης γαρ εχετε χρειαν, ινα το θελημα του θεου ποιησαντες κομισησθε την επαγγελιαν.

37'For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.

ετι γαρ μικρον οσον οσον, ο ερχομενος ηξει και ου χρονιει.

38Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.'

ο δε δικαιος εκ πιστεως ζησεται· και εαν υποστειληται, ουκ ευδοκει η ψυχη μου εν αυτω.

39But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

ημεις δε ουκ εσμεν υποστολης εις απωλειαν, αλλα πιστεως εις περιποιησιν ψυχης.
