1 Now a summary of the things of which we are speaking {is}, We have such a one high priest who has sat down on {the} right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens;
2 minister of the holy places and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord has pitched, {and} not man.
3 For every high priest is constituted for the offering both of gifts and sacrifices; whence it is needful that this one also should have something which he may offer.
4 If then indeed he were upon earth, he would not even be a priest, there being those who offer the gifts according to the law,
5 (who serve the representation and shadow of heavenly things, according as Moses was oracularly told {when} about to make the tabernacle; for See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern which has been shewn to thee in the mountain.)
6 But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.
7 For if that first was faultless, place had not been sought for a second.
8 For finding fault, he says to them, Behold, days come, saith the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant as regards the house of Israel, and as regards the house of Juda;
9 not according to the covenant which I made to their fathers in {the} day of my taking their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because *they* did not continue in my covenant, and *I* did not regard them, saith {the} Lord.
10 Because this {is} the covenant that I will covenant to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their mind, I will write them also upon their hearts; and I will be to them for God, and *they* shall be to me for people.
11 And they shall not teach each his fellow-citizen, and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; because all shall know me in themselves, from {the} little one {among them} unto {the} great among them.
12 Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.
13 In that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged {is} near disappearing.
1 我们所讲论的重点， 就是我们有这样的一位大祭司， 他已经坐在众天之上至尊者的宝座右边，
2 在至圣所和真会幕里供职； 这真会幕是主支搭的， 不是人支搭的。
3 所有大祭司都是为了献礼物和祭品而设立的， 所以这位大祭司， 也必须有所献上的。
4 如果他在地上， 就不会作祭司， 因为已经有按照律法献礼物的祭司了。
5 这些祭司所供奉的职事， 不过是天上的事物的副本和影像， 就如摩西将要造会幕的时候， 神曾经警告他说： "你要留心， 各样物件， 都要照着在山上指示你的样式去作。"
6 但是现在耶稣得了更尊贵的职分， 正好像他是更美的约的中保， 这约是凭着更美的应许立的。
7 如果头一个约没有缺点， 就没有寻求另一个约的必要了。
8 可是 神指责他们， 说： "看哪， 主说， 日子要到了， 我要与以色列家和犹大家订立新约。
9 这新约不像从前我拉他们祖先的手， 领他们出埃及的日子与他们所立的约。因为他们没有遵守我的约， 我就不理会他们。这是主说的。
10 主说： ‘因为在那些日子以后， 我要与以色列家所立的约是这样： 我要把我的律法放在他们的心思里面， 写在他们的心上。我要作他们的 神， 他们要作我的子民。
11 他们各人必不用教导自己的邻居， 和自己的同胞， 说： 你要认识主。因为所有的人， 从最小到最大的， 都必认识我。
12 我也要宽恕他们的不义， 决不再记着他们的罪恶。’"
13 神既然说到新的约， 就是把前约当作旧的了； 那变成陈旧衰老的， 就快要消逝了。
