Hebrews 8

Κεφαλαιον δε των λεγομενων ειναι τουτο, Τοιουτον εχομεν αρχιερεα, οστις εκαθησεν εν δεξια του θρονου της μεγαλωσυνης εν τοις ουρανοις,

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

λειτουργος των αγιων και της σκηνης της αληθινης, την οποιαν κατεσκευασεν ο Κυριος, και ουχι ανθρωπος.

A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

Διοτι πας αρχιερευς καθισταται δια να προσφερη δωρα και θυσιας οθεν ειναι αναγκαιον να εχη και ουτος τι, το οποιον να προσφερη.

For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

Επειδη εαν ητο επι γης, ουδε ηθελεν εισθαι ιερευς, διοτι υπηρχον οι ιερεις οι προσφεροντες τα δωρα κατα τον νομον,

For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

οιτινες λειτουργουσιν εις υποδειγμα και σκιαν των επουρανιων, καθως ελαληθη προς τον Μωυσην οτε εμελλε να κατασκευαση την σκηνην διοτι Προσεχε, λεγει, να καμης παντα κατα τον τυπον τον δειχθεντα εις σε εν τω ορει.

Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

Τωρα ομως ο Χριστος ελαβεν εξοχωτεραν λειτουργιαν, καθοσον ειναι και ανωτερας διαθηκης μεσιτης, ητις ενομοθετηθη με ανωτερας επαγγελιας.

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

Διοτι εαν η πρωτη εκεινη ητο αμεμπτος, δεν ηθελε ζητεισθαι τοπος δια την δευτεραν.

For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

Διοτι μεμφομενος αυτους λεγει Ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι, λεγει Κυριος, και θελω συντελεσει επι τον οικον του Ισραηλ και επι τον οικον του Ιουδα διαθηκην καινην,

For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

ουχι κατα την διαθηκην, την οποιαν εκαμον προς τους πατερας αυτων, καθ ην ημεραν επιασα αυτους απο της χειρος δια να εξαγαγω αυτους εκ γης Αιγυπτου διοτι αυτοι δεν ενεμειναν εις την διαθηκην μου, και εγω ημελησα αυτους, λεγει Κυριος.

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

Διοτι αυτη ειναι η διαθηκη, την οποιαν θελω καμει προς τον οικον του Ισραηλ μετα τας ημερας εκεινας, λεγει Κυριος Θελω δωσει τους νομους μου εις την διανοιαν αυτων, και θελω γραψει αυτους επι της καρδιας αυτων, και θελω εισθαι εις αυτους Θεος, και αυτοι θελουσιν εισθαι εις εμε λαος.

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

Και δεν θελουσι διδασκει εκαστος τον πλησιον αυτου και εκαστος τον αδελφον αυτου, λεγων Γνωρισον τον Κυριον διοτι παντες θελουσι με γνωριζει απο μικρου εως μεγαλου αυτων

And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

διοτι θελω εισθαι ιλεως εις τας αδικιας αυτων, και τας αμαρτιας αυτων και τας ανομιας αυτων δεν θελω ενθυμεισθαι πλεον.

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Λεγων δε καινην, εκαμε παλαιαν την πρωτην το δε παλαιουμενον και γηρασκον ειναι πλησιον αφανισμου.

In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
