Hebrews 8

1 The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

1 وَخُلاصَةُ الْقَوْلِ، أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ هُوَ رَئِيسُ كَهَنَتِنَا الَّذِي وَصَفْنَا كَهَنُوتَهُ هُنَا. إِنَّهُ الآنَ جَالِسٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ عَنْ يَمِينِ عَرْشِ اللهِ الْعَظِيمِ.

2 and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.

2 وَهُوَ يَقُومُ بِمُهِمَّتِهِ هُنَاكَ، فِي قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ: فِي خَيْمَةِ الْعِبَادَةِ الْحَقِيقِيَّةِ الَّتِي نَصَبَهَا الرَّبُّ، لَا الإِنْسَانُ.

3 And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.

3 فَمُهِمَّةُ كُلِّ رَئِيسِ كَهَنَةٍ هِيَ أَنْ يُقَرِّبَ لِلهِ التَّقْدِمَاتِ وَالذَّبَائِحَ. وَعَلَيْهِ، فَمِنَ الضَّرُورِيِّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِرَئِيسِ كَهَنَتِنَا مَا يُقَدِّمُهُ.

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

4 فَلَوْ أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ كَانَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ، لَمَا كَانَ كَاهِناً. إِذْ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يُقَدِّمُونَ الْقَرَابِينَ حَسَبَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَهُمْ مِنْ نَسْلِ لاوِي حَصْرِيًّا.

5 The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

5 وَهَؤُلاءِ يَقُومُونَ بِخِدْمَةِ مَا يُشَكِّلُ رَمْزاً وَظِلًّا لِلأُمُورِ الَّتِي فِي السَّمَاءِ. وَهَذَا وَاضِحٌ مِنْ قَوْلِ اللهِ لِمُوسَى قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ خَيْمَةَ الْعِبَادَةِ. إِذْ أَوْحَى إِلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: «انْتَبِهْ! عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ الْخَيْمَةَ وَمَا فِيهَا وَفْقاً لِلْمِثَالِ الَّذِي أَظْهَرْتُهُ لَكَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ!»

6 Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.

6 فَرَئِيسُ كَهَنَتِنَا، إِذَنْ، قَدْ حَصَلَ عَلَى خِدْمَةٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ خِدْمَةِ الْكَهَنُوتِ الأَرْضِيِّ، لِكَوْنِهِ الْوَسِيطَ الَّذِي أَعْلَنَ لَنَا قِيَامَ عَهْدٍ جَدِيدٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَهْدِ السَّابِقِ، وَلِكَوْنِ هَذَا الْعَهْدِ الْجَدِيدِ يَنْطَوِي عَلَى وُعُودٍ أَفْضَلَ.

7 For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.

7 فَلَوْ كَانَ الْعَهْدُ السَّابِقُ بِلا عَيْبٍ، لَمَا ظَهَرَتْ الْحَاجَةُ إِلَى عَهْدٍ آخَرَ يَحُلُّ مَحَلَّهُ.

8 But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.

8 وَالْوَاقِعُ أَنَّ اللهَ يَلُومُ شَعْبَهُ قَائِلاً: «لابُدَّ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ أَيَّامٌ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أُبْرِمُ فِيهَا عَهْداً جَدِيداً مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَنِي يَهُوذَا.

9 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord.

9 هَذَا الْعَهْدُ الْجَدِيدُ لَيْسَ كَالْعَهْدِ الَّذِي أَبْرَمْتُهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ، حِينَ أَمْسَكْتُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. فَبِمَا أَنَّهُمْ خَرَقُوا ذَلِكَ الْعَهْدَ، أَهْمَلْتُهُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ!

10 For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

10 فَهَذَا هُوَ الْعَهْدُ الَّذِي أُبْرِمُهُ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَعْدَ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: أَضَعُ شَرَائِعِي دَاخِلَ ضَمَائِرِهِمْ، وَأَكْتُبُهَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً.

11 No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.

11 بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، لَا يُعَلِّمُ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمُ ابْنَ وَطَنِهِ وَلا أَخَاهُ قَائِلاً: تَعَرَّفْ بِالرَّبِّ! ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ الْجَمِيعَ سَوْفَ يَعْرِفُونَنِي، مِنَ الصَّغِيرِ فِيهِمْ إِلَى الْعَظِيمِ.

12 For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”

12 لأَنِّي سَأَصْفَحُ عَنْ آثَامِهِمْ، وَلا أَعُودُ أَبَداً إِلَى تَذَكُّرِ خَطَايَاهُمْ وَمُخَالَفَاتِهِمْ!»

13 By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

13 وَاللهُ بِكَلامِهِ عَنْ عَهْدٍ جَدِيدٍ، جَعَلَ الْعَهْدَ السَّابِقَ عَتِيقاً. وَطَبِيعِيٌّ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا عَتَقَ وَشَاخَ، يَكُونُ فِي طَرِيقِهِ إِلَى الزَّوَالِ!
