Lettera agli Ebrei - Hebrews 8

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Κεφαλαιον δε των λεγομενων ειναι τουτο, Τοιουτον εχομεν αρχιερεα, οστις εκαθησεν εν δεξια του θρονου της μεγαλωσυνης εν τοις ουρανοις,	1 The main point of what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
2 λειτουργος των αγιων και της σκηνης της αληθινης, την οποιαν κατεσκευασεν ο Κυριος, και ουχι ανθρωπος.	2 a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle that the Lord, not man, set up.
3 Διοτι πας αρχιερευς καθισταται δια να προσφερη δωρα και θυσιας? οθεν ειναι αναγκαιον να εχη και ουτος τι, το οποιον να προσφερη.	3 Now every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus the necessity for this one also to have something to offer.
4 Επειδη εαν ητο επι γης, ουδε ηθελεν εισθαι ιερευς, διοτι υπηρχον οι ιερεις οι προσφεροντες τα δωρα κατα τον νομον,	4 If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are those who offer gifts according to the law.
5 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.	5 They worship in a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, as Moses was warned when he was about to erect the tabernacle. For he says, "See that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."
6 Τωρα ομως ο Χριστος ελαβεν εξοχωτεραν λειτουργιαν, καθοσον ειναι και ανωτερας διαθηκης μεσιτης, ητις ενομοθετηθη με ανωτερας επαγγελιας.	6 Now he has obtained so much more excellent a ministry as he is mediator of a better covenant, enacted on better promises.
7 Διοτι εαν η πρωτη εκεινη ητο αμεμπτος, δεν ηθελε ζητεισθαι τοπος δια την δευτεραν.	7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second one.
8 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,	8 But he finds fault with them and says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will conclude a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
9 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.	9 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers the day I took them by the hand to lead them forth from the land of Egypt; for they did not stand by my covenant and I ignored them, says the Lord.
10 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.	10 But this is the covenant I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and I will write them upon their hearts. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
11 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?	11 And they shall not teach, each one his fellow citizen and kinsman, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know me, from least to greatest.
12 διοτι θελω εισθαι ιλεως εις τας αδικιας αυτων, και τας αμαρτιας αυτων και τας ανομιας αυτων δεν θελω ενθυμεισθαι πλεον.	12 For I will forgive their evildoing and remember their sins no more."
13 Λεγων δε καινην, εκαμε παλαιαν την πρωτην? το δε παλαιουμενον και γηρασκον ειναι πλησιον αφανισμου.	13 When he speaks of a "new" covenant, he declares the first one obsolete. And what has become obsolete and has grown old is close to disappearing.
