Hebreos 8

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Este es el punto capital de cuanto venimos diciendo, que tenemos un Sumo Sacerdote tal, que se sentó a la diestra del trono de la Majestad en los cielos,	1 Now the main point in the things that have been stated is this: that we have so great a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens,
2 al servicio del santuario y de la Tienda verdadera, erigida por el Señor, no por un hombre.	2 who is the minister of holy things, and of the true tabernacle, which was established by the Lord, not by man.
3 Porque todo Sumo Sacerdote está instituido para ofrecer dones y sacrificios: de ahí que necesariamente también él tuviera que ofrecer algo.	3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Therefore, it is necessary for him also to have something to offer.
4 Pues si estuviera en la tierra, ni siquiera sería sacerdote, habiendo ya quienes ofrezcan dones según la Ley.	4 And so, if he were upon the earth, he would not be a priest, since there would be others to offer gifts according to the law,
5 Estos dan culto en lo que es sombra y figura de realidades celestiales, según le fue revelado a Moisés al emprender la construcción de la Tienda. Pues dice: Mira, harás todo conforme al modelo que te ha sido mostrado en el monte.	5 gifts which serve as mere examples and shadows of the heavenly things. And so it was answered to Moses, when he was about to complete the tabernacle: “See to it,” he said, “that you make everything according to the example which was revealed to you on the mountain.”
6 Mas ahora ha obtenido él un ministerio tanto mejor cuanto es Mediador de una mejor Alianza, como fundada en promesas mejores.	6 But now he has been granted a better ministry, so much so that he is also the Mediator of a better testament, which has been confirmed by better promises.
7 Pues si aquella primera fuera irreprochable, no habría lugar para una segunda.	7 For if the former one had been entirely without fault, then a place certainly would not have been sought for a subsequent one.
8 Porque les dice en tono de reproche: He aquí que días vienen, dice el Señor, y concertaré con la casa de Israel y con la casa de Judá una nueva Alianza,	8 For, finding fault with them, he says: “Behold, the days shall arrive, says the Lord, when I will consummate a New Testament over the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
9 no como la Alianza que hice con sus padres el día en que los tomé de la mano para sacarlos de la tierra de Egipto. Como ellos no permanecieron fieles a mi Alianza, también yo me desentendí de ellos, dice el Señor.	9 not according to the testament which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand, so that I might lead them away from the land of Egypt. For they did not remain in my testament, and so I disregarded them, says the Lord.
10 Esta es la Alianza que pactaré con la casa de Israel después de aquellos días, dice el Señor: Pondré mis leyes en su mente, en sus corazones las grabaré; y yo seré su Dios y ellos serán mi pueblo.	10 For this is the testament which I will set before the house of Israel, after those days, says the Lord. I will instill my laws in their minds, and I will inscribe my laws on their hearts. And so, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
11 Y no habrá de instruir cada cual a su conciudadano ni cada uno a su hermano diciendo: «¡Conoce al Señor!», pues todos me conocerán, desde el menor hasta el mayor de ellos.	11 And they will not teach, each one his neighbor, and each one his brother, saying: ‘Know the Lord.’ For all shall know me, from the least, even to the greatest of them.
12 Porque me apiadaré de sus iniquidades y de sus pecados no me acordaré ya.	12 For I will forgive their iniquities, and I will no longer remember their sins.”
13 Al decir nueva, declaró anticuada la primera; y lo anticuado y viejo está a punto de cesar.	13 Now in saying something new, he has made the former old. But that which decays and grows old is close to passing away.
