Hebrews 9

Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

ثُمَّ الْعَهْدُ الأَوَّلُ كَانَ لَهُ أَيْضًا فَرَائِضُ خِدْمَةٍ وَالْقُدْسُ الْعَالَمِيُّ،

For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

لأَنَّهُ نُصِبَ الْمَسْكَنُ الأَوَّلُ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ «الْقُدْسُ» الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ الْمَنَارَةُ، وَالْمَائِدَةُ، وَخُبْزُ التَّقْدِمَةِ.

And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

وَوَرَاءَ الْحِجَابِ الثَّانِي الْمَسْكَنُ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ «قُدْسُ الأَقْدَاسِ»

Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

فِيهِ مِبْخَرَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَتَابُوتُ الْعَهْدِ مُغَشًّى مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ بِالذَّهَبِ، الَّذِي فِيهِ قِسْطٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِيهِ الْمَنُّ، وَعَصَا هَارُونَ الَّتِي أَفْرَخَتْ، وَلَوْحَا الْعَهْدِ.

And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

وَفَوْقَهُ كَرُوبَا الْمَجْدِ مُظَلِّلَيْنِ الْغِطَاءَ. أَشْيَاءُ لَيْسَ لَنَا الآنَ أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْهَا بِالتَّفْصِيلِ.

Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

ثُمَّ إِذْ صَارَتْ هذِهِ مُهَيَّأَةً هكَذَا، يَدْخُلُ الْكَهَنَةُ إِلَى الْمَسْكَنِ الأَوَّلِ كُلَّ حِينٍ، صَانِعِينَ الْخِدْمَةَ.

But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

وَأَمَّا إِلَى الثَّانِي فَرَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ فَقَطْ مَرَّةً فِي السَّنَةِ، لَيْسَ بِلاَ دَمٍ يُقَدِّمُهُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَعَنْ جَهَالاَتِ الشَّعْبِ،

The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

مُعْلِنًا الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ بِهذَا أَنَّ طَرِيقَ الأَقْدَاسِ لَمْ يُظْهَرْ بَعْدُ، مَا دَامَ الْمَسْكَنُ الأَوَّلُ لَهُ إِقَامَةٌ،

Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

الَّذِي هُوَ رَمْزٌ لِلْوَقْتِ الْحَاضِرِ، الَّذِي فِيهِ تُقَدَّمُ قَرَابِينُ وَذَبَائِحُ، لاَ يُمْكِنُ مِنْ جِهَةِ الضَّمِيرِ أَنْ تُكَمِّلَ الَّذِي يَخْدِمُ،

Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

وَهِيَ قَائِمَةٌ بِأَطْعِمَةٍ وَأَشْرِبَةٍ وَغَسَلاَتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ وَفَرَائِضَ جَسَدِيَّةٍ فَقَطْ، مَوْضُوعَةٍ إِلَى وَقْتِ الإِصْلاَحِ.

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

وَأَمَّا الْمَسِيحُ، وَهُوَ قَدْ جَاءَ رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ لِلْخَيْرَاتِ الْعَتِيدَةِ، فَبِالْمَسْكَنِ الأَعْظَمِ وَالأَكْمَلِ، غَيْرِ الْمَصْنُوعِ بِيَدٍ، أَيِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ مِنْ هذِهِ الْخَلِيقَةِ،

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

وَلَيْسَ بِدَمِ تُيُوسٍ وَعُجُول، بَلْ بِدَمِ نَفْسِهِ، دَخَلَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً إِلَى الأَقْدَاسِ، فَوَجَدَ فِدَاءً أَبَدِيًّا.

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

لأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ دَمُ ثِيرَانٍ وَتُيُوسٍ وَرَمَادُ عِجْلَةٍ مَرْشُوشٌ عَلَى الْمُنَجَّسِينَ، يُقَدِّسُ إِلَى طَهَارَةِ الْجَسَدِ،

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ يَكُونُ دَمُ الْمَسِيحِ، الَّذِي بِرُوحٍ أَزَلِيٍّ قَدَّمَ نَفْسَهُ ِللهِ بِلاَ عَيْبٍ، يُطَهِّرُ ضَمَائِرَكُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَال مَيِّتَةٍ لِتَخْدِمُوا اللهَ الْحَيَّ!

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

وَلأَجْلِ هذَا هُوَ وَسِيطُ عَهْدٍ جَدِيدٍ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ الْمَدْعُوُّونَ ­ إِذْ صَارَ مَوْتٌ لِفِدَاءِ التَّعَدِّيَاتِ الَّتِي فِي الْعَهْدِ الأَوَّلِ ­ يَنَالُونَ وَعْدَ الْمِيرَاثِ الأَبَدِيِّ.

For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

لأَنَّهُ حَيْثُ تُوجَدُ وَصِيَّةٌ، يَلْزَمُ بَيَانُ مَوْتِ الْمُوصِي.

For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

لأَنَّ الْوَصِيَّةَ ثَابِتَةٌ عَلَى الْمَوْتى، إِذْ لاَ قُوَّةَ لَهَا الْبَتَّةَ مَا دَامَ الْمُوصِي حَيًّا.

Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

فَمِنْ ثَمَّ الأَوَّلُ أَيْضًا لَمْ يُكَرَّسْ بِلاَ دَمٍ،

For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

لأَنَّ مُوسَى بَعْدَمَا كَلَّمَ جَمِيعَ الشَّعْبِ بِكُلِّ وَصِيَّةٍ بِحَسَبِ النَّامُوسِ، أَخَذَ دَمَ الْعُجُولِ وَالتُّيُوسِ، مَعَ مَاءٍ، وَصُوفًا قِرْمِزِيًّا وَزُوفَا، وَرَشَّ الْكِتَابَ نَفْسَهُ وَجَمِيعَ الشَّعْبِ،

Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

قَائِلاً: «هذَا هُوَ دَمُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي أَوْصَاكُمُ اللهُ بِهِ».

Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

وَالْمَسْكَنَ أَيْضًا وَجَمِيعَ آنِيَةِ الْخِدْمَةِ رَشَّهَا كَذلِكَ بِالدَّمِ.

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ تَقْرِيبًا يَتَطَهَّرُ حَسَبَ النَّامُوسِ بِالدَّمِ، وَبِدُونِ سَفْكِ دَمٍ لاَ تَحْصُلُ مَغْفِرَةٌ!

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

فَكَانَ يَلْزَمُ أَنَّ أَمْثِلَةَ الأَشْيَاءِ الَّتِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ تُطَهَّرُ بِهذِهِ، وَأَمَّا السَّمَاوِيَّاتُ عَيْنُهَا، فَبِذَبَائِحَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ هذِهِ.

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

لأَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ إِلَى أَقْدَاسٍ مَصْنُوعَةٍ بِيَدٍ أَشْبَاهِ الْحَقِيقِيَّةِ، بَلْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ عَيْنِهَا، لِيَظْهَرَ الآنَ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ اللهِ لأَجْلِنَا.

Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

وَلاَ لِيُقَدِّمَ نَفْسَهُ مِرَارًا كَثِيرَةً، كَمَا يَدْخُلُ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ إِلَى الأَقْدَاسِ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ بِدَمِ آخَرَ.

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

فَإِذْ ذَاكَ كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ مِرَارًا كَثِيرَةً مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ الْعَالَمِ، وَلكِنَّهُ الآنَ قَدْ أُظْهِرَ مَرَّةً عِنْدَ انْقِضَاءِ الدُّهُورِ لِيُبْطِلَ الْخَطِيَّةَ بِذَبِيحَةِ نَفْسِهِ.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

وَكَمَا وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ أَنْ يَمُوتُوا مَرَّةً ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ الدَّيْنُونَةُ،

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

هكَذَا الْمَسِيحُ أَيْضًا، بَعْدَمَا قُدِّمَ مَرَّةً لِكَيْ يَحْمِلَ خَطَايَا كَثِيرِينَ، سَيَظْهَرُ ثَانِيَةً بِلاَ خَطِيَّةٍ لِلْخَلاَصِ لِلَّذِينَ يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ.
