1我們所講的事,其中,就是我們有這樣的大祭司,已經坐在天上至大者寶座的右邊,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,

2在聖所,就是裡,作;這帳幕是主所支的,不是人所支的。and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.

3凡大祭司都是為獻禮物和祭物設立的,所以這位大祭司也必須有所獻的。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.

4他若在地上,必不得為祭司,因為已經有照律法獻禮物的祭司。Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

5他們供奉的事本是天上事的形狀和,正如摩西將要造帳幕的時候,蒙 神他,說:「你要謹慎,作各樣的物件都要照著在山上指示你的。」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.”

6如今耶穌所得的職任是更美的,正如他作更美之約的;這約原是憑更美之應許立的。Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.

7那前約若沒有,就無處尋求後約了。For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.

8所以主指責他的百姓說(或譯:所以主指前約的缺欠說):日子將到,我要與以色列家和猶大家另立,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.

9不像我,領他們出埃及的時候,與他們所立的約。因為他們不守我的約,我也不理他們。這是主說的。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.

10主又說:那些日子以後,我與以色列家所立的約乃是這樣:我要將我的律法放在他們裡面,寫在他們心上;我要作他們的 神;他們要作我的子民。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.

11他們不用各人教導自己的鄉鄰和自己的弟兄,說:你該認識主;因為他們從最小的到至大的,都必認識我。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.

12我要寬恕他們的不義,不再記念他們的。For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”

13既說新約,就以前約為舊了;但那的,就必快歸無有了。By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
