Hebreus 10

1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins? 3 But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins. 4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. 5 Therefore when he comes into the world, he says,

"You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering,

but you prepared a body for me.

6 You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.

7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me)

to do your will, O God.’"✝10:7 Psalms 40:6-8

8 Previously saying, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them" (those which are offered according to the law), 9 then he has said, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first, that he may establish the second, 10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins, 12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet. 14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. 15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them

after those days," says the Lord,

"I will put my laws on their heart,

I will also write them on their mind;"✝10:16 Jeremiah 31:33

then he says,

17 "I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more."✝10:17 Jeremiah 31:34

18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh, 21 and having a great priest over God’s house, 22 let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water, 23 let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.

24 Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries. 28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay," says the Lord.✝10:30 Deuteronomy 32:35 Again, "The Lord will judge his people."✝10:30 Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalms 135:14 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so. 34 For you both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens. 35 Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward. 36 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

37 "In a very little while,

he who comes will come and will not wait.

38 But the righteous one will live by faith.

If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."✝10:38 Habakkuk 2:3-4

39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

1 I te mea ko tō te ture he ātārangi nō ngā mea pai e puta ana mai i muri, ehara i te āhua pū o aua mea, e kore e whai mana i aua patunga tapu e whakaeketia tonutia ana e rātou i tēnei tau, i tēnei tau, e tino tika ai te hunga e whakatata ana. 2 Pēnei e kore rānei e mutu te whakaeke? Me i oti hoki te hunga nāna taua karakia te mea kia mā, kua kore ō rātou mahara ki ngā hara? 3 I aua patunga tapu ia e hokihoki ana te mahara ki ngā hara i ia tau, i ia tau. 4 E kore hoki e tau mā ngā toto o ngā pūru, o ngā koati e whakakāhore ngā hara.

5 Nā reira i a ia e haere mai ana ki te ao, ka mea ia:

"Kīhai i matenuitia e koe te patunga tapu me te whakahere,

kua rite mai i a koe he tinana mōku.

6 Kīhai koe i āhuareka ki ngā tahunga tinana,

ki ngā whakahere hara.

7 Kātahi ahau ka mea atu, ‘Tēnei ahau te haere atu nei,

kei roto i te upoko o te pukapuka te tuhituhinga mōku,

ki te mea i tāu i pai ai, e te Atua.’ "

8 I tāna meatanga i mua ake, "Kīhai koe i matenui ki te patunga tapu, ki te whakahere, ki ngā tahunga tinana, ki ngā whakahere hara, kāhore anō hoki ōu āhuareka mai," he mea nei e tāpaea ana i runga i te ture. 9 Kātahi ia ka mea, "Tēnei ahau te haere atu nei ki te mea i tāu i pai ai, e te Atua." E tangohia ana e ia te tuatahi, kia whakatūria ai e ia te tuarua. 10 Nā taua pai nei i oti ai tātou te whakatapu, he meatanga nā te tāpaenga atu kotahi o te tinana o Īhu Karaiti.

11 Nā, ko ngā tohunga katoa, e tū ana rātou, e minita ana i tēnei rā, i tēnei rā, he maha anō hoki ā rātou whakaekenga atu i aua patunga tapu rā anō, e kore rawa nei e tau hei tango i ngā hara. 12 Ko tēnei ia, kotahi nei tāna patunga tapu i whakaeke atu ai mō ngā hara, noho tonu atu i te ringa matau o te Atua 13 i muri nei he tatari tāna kia waiho rā anō ōna hoariri hei takahanga mō ōna waewae. 14 Kotahi nei hoki tāna whakahere, ā, tika tonu i a ia ake ake te hunga ka oti te whakatapu.

15 Hei kaiwhakaatu anō te Wairua Tapu mō tēnei ki a tātou; i muri mai i tāna kīanga mai,

16 "Ko te kawenata tēnei e whakaritea e ahau

ki a rātou i muri i aua rā, e kī ana te Ariki:

Ka hoatu e ahau āku ture ki ō rātou ngākau,

ka tuhituhia hoki e ahau ki ō rātou hinengaro,"

ā, ka mea anō ia,

17 "E kore hoki e maharatia e ahau ō rātou hara,

ō rātou kino ā mua ake."

18 Nā, ki te murua ēnei, kāhore he whakahere mō ngā hara i muri iho.

Kia Whakatata atu Tātou ki te Atua

19 Nā, e ōku tēina, ka ai nei ngā toto o Īhu hei take e māia ai tātou te tomo ki te Tino Wāhi Tapu, 20 hei ara hou mō tātou, arā hei ara ora, he mea whakatapu nāna, e tika atu ana nā te ārai, arā nā tōna kikokiko. 21 Ā, i te mea he nui tō tātou tohunga mō te whare o te Atua, 22 kia whakatata atu tātou, i runga i te ngākau pono, i te whakapono e tino ū ana, he mea tāuhiuhi te ngākau, kia kore ai te hinengaro kino, he mea horoi anō hoki te tinana ki te wai mārama. 23 Kia mau tā tātou whakaae ki te mea e tūmanakohia atu nei, kei ngāueue; he pono hoki tā te kaiwhakaari mai. 24 Kia whai whakaaro anō tātou tētahi ki tētahi, kia whakaohokia te aroha me ngā mahi pai, 25 kei mahue te huihui i a tātou anō, kei pērā me te hanga a ētahi. Engari me whakahauhau tētahi i tētahi, kia nui rawa anō hoki i te mea ka kite koutou ka tata te rā.

26 Ki te hara hoki tātou i muri iho i tō tātou whiwhinga ki te mātauranga ki te pono, kāhore atu hoki he patunga tapu i mahue mō ngā hara; 27 engari, ka tatari āhua mataku ki te whakawā, ki te riri kino anō nā te ahi, e whakangaromia ai ngā hoariri. 28 Ko te tangata i takahi i te ture a Mohi kīhai i tohungia, ka mate i runga i te kupu a ngā kaiwhakaatu tokorua, tokotoru rānei. 29 Ki tō koutou whakaaro, e kore rānei e tika kia rahi ake te whiu mō te tangata i takahia ai te Tama a te Atua, i meinga ai hei mea noa ngā toto o te kawenata i whakatapua ai ia, ā, whakaiti ana i te Wairua o te aroha noa? 30 E mātau ana hoki tātou nā wai tēnei kupu, "Māku te rapu utu; māku te hoatu utu, e ai tā te Ariki"; me tēnei anō, "E whakawā te Ariki mō tāna iwi." 31 He mea mataku te taka ki roto ki ngā ringaringa o te Atua ora.

32 Engari, kia mahara ki ngā rā ō mua, i a koutou i whakamāramatia rā, he nui noa atu ngā rauhanga a te mate, i whakaririka kau nā koutou. 33 Ko tētahi wāhi, i a koutou i meinga e ngā tāwainga, e ngā tūkinotanga hei mea mātakitaki; ko tētahi wāhi, i a koutou i meinga hei hoa mō te hunga i pērātia. 34 I mamae tahi hoki koutou me te hunga i te herehere, i hari hoki ki te pāhuatanga o ō koutou taonga, i mahara hoki tērā atu he taonga mō koutou, he mea pai ake, he mea pūmau tonu.

35 Nā, kaua e whakarērea tō koutou māia, he rahi hoki tōna utu. 36 Ko te mea hoki hei matenuitanga mā koutou he manawanui; kia oti ai i a koutou te mahi tā te Atua i pai ai, e riro tonu ai i a koutou ngā mea i whakaaria mai rā.

37 "Potopoto kau ake hoki,

ā, ka tae mai tēnei e haere mai nei,

e kore anō e whakaroa.

38 Mā te whakapono ia e ora ai te tangata tika;

ā, ki te hoki tētahi ki muri,

e kore tōku wairua e āhuareka ki a ia."

39 Otiia, ehara tātou i te hunga e hoki ana ki muri, ki te whakangaromanga, engari nō te hunga e whakapono ana, ā, ora ana te wairua.
