1Now the main point in what we are saying is this: we do have this kind of high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven 1The 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,
2and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tent set up by the Lord and not by any human. 2and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.
3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore, this high priest had to offer something, too. 3And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.
4Now if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, because other men offer the gifts prescribed by the Law. 4Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.
5They serve in a sanctuary that is a copy, a shadow of the heavenly one. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tent: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain."5The 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.”
6However, Jesus has now obtained a more superior ministry, since the covenant he mediates is founded on better promises.6Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.
7If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one, 7For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.
8but God found something wrong with his people when he said, "Look! The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.8But 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.
9It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors at the time when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. Because they did not remain loyal to my covenant, I ignored them, declares the Lord. 9It 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.
10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.10For 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.
11Never again will everyone teach his neighbor or his brother by saying, 'Know the Lord,' because all of them will know me, from the least important to the most important.11No 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.
12For I will be merciful regarding their wrong deeds, and I will never again remember their sins." 12For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”
13In speaking of a "new" covenant, he has made the first one obsolete, and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.13By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
