Hebrews 8

1Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

κεφαλαιον δε επι τοις λεγομενοις, τοιουτον εχομεν αρχιερεα, ος εκαθισεν εν δεξια του θρονου της μεγαλωσυνης εν τοις ουρανοις,

2a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.

των αγιων λειτουργος και της σκηνης της αληθινης, ην επηξεν ο κυριος, και ουκ ανθρωπος.

3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer.

πας γαρ αρχιερευς εις το προσφερειν δωρα τε και θυσιας καθισταται· οθεν αναγκαιον εχειν τι και τουτον ο προσενεγκη.

4For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

ει μεν γαρ ην επι γης, ουδ αν ην ιερευς, οντων των ιερεων των προσφεροντων κατα τον νομον τα δωρα,

5who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, 'See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.'

οιτινες υποδειγματι και σκια λατρευουσιν των επουρανιων, καθως κεχρηματισται μωυσης μελλων επιτελειν την σκηνην· ορα γαρ φησιν, ποιησεις παντα κατα τον τυπον τον δειχθεντα σοι εν τω ορει·

6But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

νυνι δε διαφορωτερας τετευχεν λειτουργιας, οσω και κρειττονος εστιν διαθηκης μεσιτης, ητις επι κρειττοσιν επαγγελιαις νενομοθετηται.

7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

ει γαρ η πρωτη εκεινη ην αμεμπτος, ουκ αν δευτερας εζητειτο τοπος.

8Because finding fault with them, He says: 'Behold, 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—

μεμφομενος γαρ αυτοις λεγει· ιδου ημεραι ερχονται, λεγει κυριος, και συντελεσω επι τον οικον ισραηλ και επι τον οικον ιουδα διαθηκην καινην,

9not 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 did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the LORD.

ου κατα την διαθηκην ην εποιησα τοις πατρασιν αυτων εν ημερα επιλαβομενου μου της χειρος αυτων εξαγαγειν αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου· οτι αυτοι ουκ ενεμειναν εν τη διαθηκη μου, καγω ημελησα αυτων, λεγει κυριος·

10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

οτι αυτη η διαθηκη ην διαθησομαι τω οικω ισραηλ μετα τας ημερας εκεινας, λεγει κυριος· διδους νομους μου εις την διανοιαν αυτων, και επι καρδιας αυτων επιγραψω αυτους, και εσομαι αυτοις εις θεον, και αυτοι εσονται μοι εις λαον.

11None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.

και ου μη διδαξωσιν εκαστος τον πολιτην αυτου και εκαστος τον αδελφον αυτου, λεγων· γνωθι τον κυριον· οτι παντες ειδησουσιν με απο μικρου αυτων εως μεγαλου αυτων·

12For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.'

οτι ιλεως εσομαι ταις αδικιαις αυτων, και των αμαρτιων αυτων και των ανομιων αυτων ου μη μνησθω ετι.

13In that He says, 'A new covenant,' He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

εν τω λεγειν καινην πεπαλαιωκεν την πρωτην· το δε παλαιουμενον και γηρασκον εγγυς αφανισμου.
