Hebrews 10

1 For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.

1 فَقَدْ كَانَتْ شَرِيعَةُ مُوسَى تَتَضَمَّنُ ظِلًّا وَاهِياً لِلْخَيْرَاتِ الَّتِي سَيَأْتِي بِها الْمَسِيحُ، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لِتُصَوِّرَ الْحَقِيقَةَ ذَاتَهَا. وَلِذَلِكَ، لَمْ تَكُنْ قَادِرَةً أَنْ تُوصِلَ إِلَى الْكَمَالِ أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَتَقَرَّبُونَ بِها إِلَى اللهِ، مُقَدِّمِينَ دَائِماً الذَّبَائِحَ السَّنَوِيَّةَ عَيْنَهَا،

2 If it could, would not the offerings have ceased? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt the guilt of their sins.

2 وَإلَّا، لَمَا كَانَ هُنَالِكَ دَاعٍ لِلاسْتِمْرَارِ فِي تَقْدِيمِهَا! لأَنَّ ضَمَائِرَ الْعَابِدِينَ، مَتَى تَطَهَّرَتْ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً إِلَى التَّمَامِ، لَا تَعُودُ بِحَاجَةٍ إِلَى التَّطْهِيرِ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً: إِذْ يَكُونُ الشُّعُورُ بِالذَّنْبِ قَدْ زَالَ.

3 Instead, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins,

3 وَلَكِنَّ فِي عَمَلِيَّةِ تَقْدِيمِ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُتَكَرِّرَةِ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ، تَذْكِيراً لِلْعَابِدِينَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ.

4 because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

4 فَمِنَ الْمُسْتَحِيلِ أَنْ يُزِيلَ دَمُ الثِّيرَانِ وَالتُّيُوسِ خَطايَا النَّاسِ.

5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.

5 لِذَلِكَ قَالَ الْمَسِيحُ، عِنْدَ مَجِيئِهِ إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ: «إِنَّ الذَّبَائِحَ وَالتَّقْدِمَاتِ مَا أَرَدْتَهَا. لَكِنَّكَ أَعْدَدْتَ لِي جَسَداً بَشَرِيًّا.

6 In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.

6 فَالْحَيَوَانَاتُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُذْبَحُ وَتُحْرَقُ أَمَامَكَ تَكْفِيراً عَنِ الْخَطِيئَةِ، لَمْ تَرْضَ بِها.

7 Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’”

7 عِنْدَئِذٍ قُلْتُ لَكَ: هَا أَنَا آتِي لأَعْمَلَ إِرَادَتَكَ، يَا اللهُ. هَذَا هُوَ الْمَكْتُوبُ عَنِّي فِي صَفْحَةِ الْكِتَابِ!»

8 In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law).

8 فَبَعْدَ أَنْ عَبَّرَ الْمَسِيحُ عَنْ عَدَمِ رِضَى اللهِ بِجَمِيعِ التَّقْدِمَاتِ وَالذَّبَائِحِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُقَرَّبُ مَعَ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُقَدَّمُ وَفْقاً لِلشَّرِيعَةِ،

9 Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

9 أَضَافَ قَائِلاً: «هَا أَنَا آتِي لأَعْمَلَ إِرَادَتَكَ!» فَهُوَ، إِذَنْ، يُلْغِي النِّظَامَ السَّابِقَ، لِيَضَعَ مَحَلَّهُ نِظَاماً جَدِيداً.

10 And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

10 بِمُوجِبِ هَذِهِ الإِرَادَةِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ، صِرْنَا مُقَدَّسِينَ إِذْ قَدَّمَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ، مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، جَسَدَهُ عِوَضاً عَنَّا!

11 Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

11 وَقَدِيماً، كَانَ كُلُّ كَاهِنٍ يَقِفُ يَوْمِيًّا أَمَامَ الْمَذْبَحِ لِيَقُومَ بِمُهِمَّتِهِ، فَيُقَدِّمُ لِلهِ تِلْكَ الذَّبَائِحَ عَيْنَهَا، مَعَ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ قَادِرَةً عَلَى إِزَالَةِ الْخَطَايَا إِطْلاقاً.

12 But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.

12 وَلَكِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ، رَئِيسَ كَهَنَتِنَا، قَدَّمَ ذَبِيحَةً وَاحِدَةً عَنِ الْخَطَايَا، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللهِ،

13 Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet,

13 مُنْتَظِراً أَنْ يُوضَعَ أَعْدَاؤُهُ مَوْطِئاً لِقَدَمَيْهِ.

14 because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified.

14 إِذْ إِنَّهُ، بِتَقْدِمَةٍ وَحِيدَةٍ جَعَلَ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ قَدَّسَهُمْ كَامِلِينَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:

15 وَالرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ نَفْسُهُ يَشْهَدُ لَنَا بِهَذِهِ الْحَقِيقَةِ. إِذْ قَالَ أَوَّلاً:

16 “This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”

16 «هَذَا هُوَ الْعَهْدُ الَّذِي أُبْرِمُهُ مَعَهُمْ بَعْدَ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: أَضَعُ شَرَائِعِي فِي دَاخِلِ قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَأَكْتُبُهَا فِي عُقُولِهِمْ».

17 Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”

17 ثُمَّ أَضَافَ: «وَلا أَعُودُ أَبَداً إِلَى تَذَكُّرِ خَطَايَاهُمْ وَمُخَالَفَاتِهِمْ».

18 And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.

18 فَحِينَمَا يَتَحَقَّقُ غُفْرَانُ الْخَطَايَا، لَا تَبْقَى حَاجَةٌ بَعْدُ إِلَى تَقْرِيبِ التَّقْدِمَاتِ!

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,

19 فَلَنَا الآنَ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ حَقُّ التَّقَدُّمِ بِثِقَةٍ إِلَى «قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ» (فِي السَّمَاءِ) بِدَمِ يَسُوعَ.

20 by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,

20 وَذَلِكَ بِسُلُوكِ هَذَا الطَّرِيقِ الْحَيِّ الْجَدِيدِ الَّذِي شَقَّهُ لَنَا الْمَسِيحُ بِتَمْزِيقِ الحِجَابِ، أَيْ جَسَدِهِ.

21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

21 وَلَنَا أَيْضاً كَاهِنٌ عَظِيمٌ يُمَارِسُ سُلْطَتَهُ عَلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ.

22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

22 فَلْنَتَقَدَّمْ إِلَى حَضْرَةِ اللهِ بِقَلْبٍ صَادِقٍ وَبِثِقَةِ الإِيمَانِ الْكَامِلَةِ، بَعْدَمَا طَهَّرَ رَشُّ الدَّمِ قُلُوبَنَا مِنْ كُلِّ شُعُورٍ بِالذَّنْبِ، وَغَسَلَ الْمَاءُ النَّقِيُّ أَجْسَادَنَا.

23 Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.

23 وَلْنَتَمَسَّكْ دَائِماً بِالرَّجَاءِ الَّذِي نَعْتَرِفُ بِهِ، دُونَ أَنْ نَشُكَّ فِي أَنَّهُ سَيَتَحَقَّقُ، لأَنَّ الَّذِي وَعَدَنَا بِتَحْقِيقِهِ، هُوَ أَمِينٌ وَصَادِقٌ.

24 And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds.

24 وَعَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا أَنْ يَنْتَبِهَ لِلآخَرِينَ، لِنَحُثَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً عَلَى الْمَحَبَّةِ وَالأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَةِ.

25 Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

25 وَعَلَيْنَا أَلّا نَنْقَطِعَ عَنِ الاجْتِمَاعِ مَعاً، كَمَا تَعَوَّدَ بَعْضُكُمْ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ. إِنَّمَا، يَجْدُرُ بِكُمْ أَنْ تَحُثُّوا وَتُشَجِّعُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً، وَتُوَاظِبُوا عَلَى هَذَا بِقَدْرِ مَا تَرَوْنَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ يَقْتَرِبُ.

26 If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,

26 فَإِنْ أَخْطَأْنَا عَمْداً بِرَفْضِنَا لِلْمَسِيحِ بَعْدَ حُصُولِنَا عَلَى مَعْرِفَةِ الْحَقِّ، لَا تَبْقَى هُنَاكَ ذَبِيحَةٌ لِغُفْرَانِ الْخَطَايَا،

27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.

27 بَلِ انْتِظَارُ الْعِقَابِ الأَكِيدِ فِي لَهِيبِ النَّارِ الَّتِي سَتَلْتَهِمُ الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ. وَيَا لَهُ مِنِ انْتِظَارٍ مُخِيفٍ!

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

28 تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ مَنْ خَالَفَ شَرِيعَةَ مُوسَى، كَانَ عِقَابُهُ الْمَوْتَ دُونَ رَحْمَةٍ، عَلَى أَنْ يُؤَيِّدَ مُخَالَفَتَهُ شَاهِدَانِ أَوْ ثَلاثَةٌ.

29 How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

29 فَفِي ظَنِّكُمْ، كَمْ يَكُونُ أَشَدَّ كَثِيراً ذَلِكَ الْعِقَابُ الَّذِي يَسْتَحِقُّهُ مَنْ يَدُوسُ ابْنَ اللهِ، إِذْ يَعْتَبِرُ أَنَّ دَمَ الْعَهْدِ، الَّذِي يَتَقَدَّسُ بِهِ، هُوَ دَمٌ نَجِسٌ، وَبِذَلِكَ يُهِينُ رُوحَ النِّعْمَةِ؟

30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

30 فَنَحْنُ نَعْرِفُ مَنْ قَالَ: «لِيَ الانْتِقَامُ، أَنَا أُجَازِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ!» وَأَيْضاً: «إِنَّ الرَّبَّ سَوْفَ يُحَاكِمُ شَعْبَهُ!»

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

31 حَقّاً مَا أَرْهَبَ الْوُقُوعَ فِي يَدَيِ اللهِ الْحَيِّ!

32 Remember the early days that you were in the light. In those days, you endured a great conflict in the face of suffering.

32 لَا تَنْسَوْا أَبَداً تِلْكَ الأَيَّامَ الْمَاضِيَةَ الَّتِي فِيهَا، بَعْدَمَا أَشْرَقَ عَلَيْكُمْ نُورُ الإِيمَانِ بِالْمَسِيحِ، صَبَرْتُمْ عَلَى جِهَادٍ مَرِيرٍ طَوِيلٍ، إِذْ قَاسَيْتُمْ كَثِيراً مِنَ الآلامِ.

33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to ridicule and persecution; at other times you were partners with those who were so treated.

33 وَذَلِكَ عِنْدَمَا تَعَرَّضْتُمْ لِلإِهَانَاتِ وَالْمُضَايَقَاتِ مِنْ جِهَةٍ، وَعِنْدَمَا شَارَكْتُمُ الَّذِينَ عُومِلُوا مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الْمُعَامَلَةِ مِنْ جِهَةٍ أُخْرَى.

34 You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you yourselves had a better and permanent possession.

34 فَقَدْ تَعَاطَفْتُمْ مَعَ الْمَسْجُونِينَ، كَمَا تَقَبَّلْتُمْ نَهْبَ مُمْتَلَكَاتِكُمْ بِفَرَحٍ، عِلْماً مِنْكُمْ بِأَنَّ لَكُمْ فِي السَّمَاءِ ثَرْوَةً أَفْضَلَ وَأَبْقَى.

35 So do not throw away your confidence; it holds a great reward.

35 إِذَنْ، لَا تَتَخَلَّوْا عَنْ ثِقَتِكُمْ بِالرَّبِّ. فَإِنَّ لَهَا مُكَافَأَةً عَظِيمَةً.

36 You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.

36 إِنَّكُمْ تحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى الصَّبْرِ لِتَعْمَلُوا إِرَادَةَ اللهِ، فَتَنَالُوا الْبَرَكَةَ الَّتِي وُعِدْتُمْ بِها.

37 For, “In just a little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay.

37 فَقَرِيباً جِدّاً، سَيَأْتِي الآتِي وَلا يَتَمَهَّلُ.

38 But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he shrinks back, I will take no pleasure in him.”

38 وَأَمَّا مَنْ تَبَرَّرَ بِالإِيمَانِ، فَبِالإِيمَانِ يَحْيَا. وَمَنِ ارْتَدَّ لَا تُسَرُّ بِهِ نَفْسِي!

39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

39 وَلَكِنَّنَا نَحْنُ لَسْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الارْتِدَادِ الْمُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْهَلاكِ، بَلْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الإِيمَانِ الْمُؤَدِّي إِلَى خَلاصِ نُفُوسِنَا!
