Hebrews 8

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 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 majesty in the heavens,	1 Caput autem super ea, quae dicuntur: talem habemus ponti ficem, qui consedit in dextera throni Maiestatis in caelis,
2 A minister of the holies, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath pitched, and not man.	2 sanctorum minister et tabernaculi veri, quod fixit Dominus, non homo.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that he also should have some thing to offer.	3 Omnis enim pontifex ad offerenda munera et hostias constituitur; unde necesse erat et hunc habere aliquid, quod offerret.
4 If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest: seeing that there would be others to offer gifts according to the law,	4 Si ergo esset super terram, nec esset sacerdos, cum sint qui offerant secundum legem munera;
5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things. As it was answered to Moses, when he was to finish the tabernacle: See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern which was shewn thee on the mount.	5 qui figurae et umbrae deserviunt caelestium, sicut responsum est Moysi, cum consummaturus esset tabernaculum: “ Vide enim, inquit, omnia facies secundum exemplar, quod tibi ostensum est in monte ”.
6 But now he hath obtained a better ministry, by how much also he is a mediator of a better testament, which is established on better promises.	6 Nunc autem differentius sortitus est ministerium, quanto et melioris testamenti mediator est, quod in melioribus repromissionibus sancitum est.
7 For if that former had been faultless, there should not indeed a place have been sought for a second.	7 Nam si illud prius culpa vacasset, non secundi locus inquireretur;
8 For finding fault with them, he saith: Behold, the days shall come, saith the Lord: and I will perfect unto the house of Israel, and unto the house of Juda, a new testament:	8 vituperans enim eos dicit: “ Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et consummabo super domum Israel et super domum Iudae testamentum novum;
9 Not according to the testament which I made to their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt: because they continued not in my testament: and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.	9 non secundum testamentum, quod feci patribus eorum in die, qua apprehendi manum illorum, ut educerem illos de terra Aegypti; quoniam ipsi non permanserunt in testamento meo, et ego neglexi eos, dicit Dominus.
10 For this is the testament which I will make to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my laws into their mind, and in their heart will I write them: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:	10 Quia hoc est testamentum, quod testabor domui Israel post dies illos, dicit Dominus, dando leges meas in mentem eorum, et in corde eorum superscribam eas; et ero eis in Deum, et ipsi erunt mihi in populum.
11 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 of them:	11 Et non docebit unusquisque civem suum, et unusquisque fratrem suum dicens: “Cognosce Dominum”; quoniam omnes scient me, a minore usque ad maiorem eorum,
12 Because I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more.	12 quia propitius ero iniquitatibus eorum et peccatorum illorum iam non memorabor ”.
13 Now in saying a new, he hath made the former old. And that which decayeth and groweth old, is near its end.	13 Dicendo “ novum ” veteravit prius; quod autem antiquatur et senescit, prope interitum est.
