Hebrews 9

1Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary.

ειχεν μεν ουν [και] η πρωτη σκηνη δικαιωματα λατρειας το τε αγιον κοσμικον.

2For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary;

σκηνη γαρ κατεσκευασθη η πρωτη, εν η η τε λυχνια και η τραπεζα και η προθεσις των αρτων, ητις λεγεται αγια.

3and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All,

μετα δε το δευτερον καταπετασμα σκηνη η λεγομενη αγια αγιων,

4which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

χρυσουν εχουσα θυμιατηριον και την κιβωτον της διαθηκης περικεκαλυμμενην παντοθεν χρυσιω, εν η σταμνος χρυση εχουσα το μαννα και η ραβδος ααρων η βλαστησασα και αι πλακες της διαθηκης,

5and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

υπερανω δε αυτης χερουβιμ δοξης κατασκιαζοντα το ιλαστηριον· περι ων ουκ εστιν νυν λεγειν κατα μερος.

6Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services.

τουτων δε ουτως κατεσκευασμενων εις μεν την πρωτην σκηνην δια παντος εισιασιν οι ιερεις τας λατρειας επιτελουντες,

7But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the people's sins committed in ignorance;

εις δε την δευτεραν απαξ του ενιαυτου μονος ο αρχιερευς, ου χωρις αιματος, ο προσφερει υπερ εαυτου και των του λαου αγνοηματων,

8the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.

τουτο δηλουντος του πνευματος του αγιου, μηπω πεφανερωσθαι την των αγιων οδον, ετι της πρωτης σκηνης εχουσης στασιν·

9It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience—

ητις παραβολη εις τον καιρον τον ενεστηκοτα, καθ ον δωρα τε και θυσιαι προσφερονται μη δυναμεναι κατα συνειδησιν τελειωσαι τον λατρευοντα,

10concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.

μονον επι βρωμασιν και πομασιν και διαφοροις βαπτισμοις και δικαιωμασιν σαρκος, μεχρι καιρου διορθωσεως επικειμενα.

11But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

χριστος δε παραγενομενος αρχιερευς των μελλοντων αγαθων δια της μειζονος και τελειοτερας σκηνης, ου χειροποιητου, τουτ εστιν ου ταυτης της κτισεως,

12Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

ουδε δι αιματος τραγων και μοσχων, δια δε του ιδιου αιματος εισηλθεν εφαπαξ εις τα αγια, αιωνιαν λυτρωσιν ευραμενος.

13For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,

ει γαρ το αιμα ταυρων και τραγων και σποδος δαμαλεως ραντιζουσα τους κεκοινωμενους αγιαζει προς την της σαρκος καθαροτητα,

14how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

ποσω μαλλον το αιμα του χριστου, ος δια πνευματος αιωνιου εαυτον προσηνεγκεν αμωμον τω θεω, καθαριει την συνειδησιν υμων απο νεκρων εργων εις το λατρευειν θεω ζωντι;

15And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

και δια τουτο διαθηκης καινης μεσιτης εστιν, οπως, θανατου γενομενου εις απολυτρωσιν των επι τη πρωτη διαθηκη παραβασεων, την επαγγελιαν λαβωσιν οι κεκλημενοι της αιωνιου κληρονομιας.

16For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

οπου γαρ διαθηκη, θανατον αναγκη φερεσθαι του διαθεμενου·

17For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.

διαθηκη γαρ επι νεκροις βεβαια, επει μηποτε ισχυει οτε ζη ο διαθεμενος.

18Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood.

οθεν ουδ η πρωτη χωρις αιματος εγκεκαινισται·

19For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

λαληθεισης γαρ πασης εντολης κατα τον νομον υπο μωυσεως παντι τω λαω, λαβων το αιμα των μοσχων και τραγων μετα υδατος και εριου κοκκινου και υσσωπου, αυτο τε το βιβλιον και παντα τον λαον ερραντισεν

20saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.'

λεγων· τουτο το αιμα της διαθηκης ης ενετειλατο προς υμας ο θεος·

21Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.

και την σκηνην δε και παντα τα σκευη της λειτουργιας τω αιματι ομοιως ερραντισεν.

22And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

και σχεδον εν αιματι παντα καθαριζεται κατα τον νομον, και χωρις αιματεκχυσιας ου γινεται αφεσις.

23Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

αναγκη ουν τα μεν υποδειγματα των εν τοις ουρανοις τουτοις καθαριζεσθαι, αυτα δε τα επουρανια κρειττοσιν θυσιαις παρα ταυτας.

24For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

ου γαρ εις χειροποιητα αγια εισηλθεν ο χριστος, αντιτυπα των αληθινων, αλλ εις αυτον τον ουρανον, νυν εμφανισθηναι τω προσωπω του θεου υπερ ημων·

25not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another—

ουδ ινα πολλακις προσφερη εαυτον, ωσπερ ο αρχιερευς εισερχεται εις τα αγια κατ ενιαυτον εν αιματι αλλοτριω·

26He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

επει εδει αυτον πολλακις παθειν απο καταβολης κοσμου· νυν δε απαξ επι συντελεια των αιωνων εις αθετησιν αμαρτιας δια της θυσιας αυτου πεφανερωται.

27And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,

και καθ οσον αποκειται τοις ανθρωποις απαξ αποθανειν, μετα δε τουτο κρισις,

28so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

ουτως και ο χριστος, απαξ προσενεχθεις εις το πολλων ανενεγκειν αμαρτιας, εκ δευτερου χωρις αμαρτιας οφθησεται τοις αυτον απεκδεχομενοις εις σωτηριαν.
