| 1 ܒܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܦܘܩܕܐ ܕܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܘܒܝܬ ܩܘܕܫܐ ܥܠܡܢܝܐ ܀ | 1 Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary. |
| 2 ܡܫܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܐܬܥܒܕ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܡܢܪܬܐ ܘܦܬܘܪܐ ܘܠܚV ܐܦܐ ܘܡܬܩܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܩܘܕܫܐ ܀ | 2 For a tent was prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence; it is called the Holy Place. |
| 3 ܡܫܟܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܓܘܝܐ ܕܠܓܘ ܡܢ ܐܦܝ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܬܪܝܢ ܡܬܩܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܩܕܘܫ ܩܘܕܫܐ ܀ | 3 Behind the second curtain stood a tent called the Holy of Holies, |
| 4 ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܒܝܬ ܒܤܡܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܩܒܘܬܐ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ ܕܩܪܝܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܒܕܗܒܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܩܤܛܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܡܢܢܐ ܘܫܒܛܐ ܕܐܗܪܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܦܪܥ ܘܠܘܚܐ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ ܀ | 4 having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, which contained a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; |
| 5 ܘܠܥܠ ܡܢܗ ܟܪܘܒܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܡܛܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܚܘܤܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܚܕܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܡܬܩܢܢ ܗܘܝ ܀ | 5 above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. |
| 6 ܘܠܡܫܟܢܐ ܒܪܝܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܥܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܘܡܪܐ ܘܡܫܠܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܬܫܡܫܬܗܘܢ ܀ | 6 These preparations having thus been made, the priests go continually into the outer tent, performing their ritual duties; |
| 7 ܠܡܫܟܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܓܘ ܡܢܗ ܚܕܐ ܗܘ ܒܫܢܬܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܥܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܪܒܟܘܡܪܐ ܒܕܡܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܩܪܒ ܗܘܐ ܚܠܦ ܢܦܫܗ ܘܚܠܦ ܤܟܠܘܬܗ ܕܥܡܐ ܀ | 7 but into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people. |
| 8 ܒܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܘܕܥܐ ܗܘܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܓܠܝܬ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܟܡܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܩܝܡܐ ܠܡܫܟܢܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܀ | 8 By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the sanctuary is not yet opened as long as the outer tent is still standing |
| 9 ܘܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܘܕܒܚܐ ܡܬܩܪܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܓܡܪ ܬܐܪܬܗ ܕܡܢ ܕܡܩܪܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܀ | 9 (which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper, |
| 10 ܐܠܐ ܒܡܐܟܠܐ ܘܒܡܫܬܝܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܘܒܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܙܢܝܢ ܙܢܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܦܘܩܕܐ ܕܒܤܪܐ ܕܤܝܡܝܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܙܒܢܐ ܕܬܘܪܨܐ ܀ | 10 but deal only with food and drink and various ablutions, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation. |
| 11 ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܪܒܟܘܡܪܐ ܕܛܒܬܐ ܕܤܥܪ ܘܥܠ ܠܡܫܟܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܥܒܝܕ ܒܐܝܕܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܪܝܬܐ ܀ | 11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) |
| 12 ܘܠܐ ܥܠ ܒܕܡܐ ܕܨܦܪܝܐ ܘܕܥܓܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܕܡܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܥܠ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܠܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܐ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܕܠܥܠV ܀ | 12 he entered once for all into the Holy Place, taking not the blood of goats and calves but his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. |
| 13 ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܐ ܕܨܦܪܝܐ ܘܕܥܓܠܐ ܘܩܛܡܐ ܕܥܓܠܬܐ ܡܬܪܤܤ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܛܡܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܩܕܫ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܕܘܟܝܐ ܕܒܤܪܗܘܢ ܀ | 13 For if the sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, |
| 14 ܟܡܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܡܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܠܥܠV ܢܦܫܗ ܩܪܒ ܕܠܐ ܡܘV ܠܐܠܗܐ ܢܕܟܐ ܬܐܪܬܢ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܢܫܡܫ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܀ | 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God. |
| 15 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܡܨܥܝܐ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܕܒܡܘܬܗ ܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܒܪܘ ܥܠ ܕܝܬܩܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܕܢܤܒܘܢ ܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܩܪܝܘ ܠܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܠܥܠV ܀ | 15 Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant. |
| 16 ܐܝܟܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܬ ܕܝܬܩܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܡܚܘܝܐ ܕܗܘ ܕܥܒܕܗ ܀ | 16 For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. |
| 17 ܥܠ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܡܫܬܪܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܡܐ ܕܚܝ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕܗ ܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܚܫܚܘ ܀ | 17 For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. |
| 18 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܕܡܐ ܐܫܬܪܪܬ ܀ | 18 Hence even the first covenant was not ratified without blood. |
| 19 ܟܕ ܐܬܦܩܕ ܓܝܪ ܟܠܗ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܡܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܢܤܒ ܗܘܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܕܡܐ ܕܥܓܠܬܐ ܘܡܝܐ ܒܥܡܪܐ ܕܙܚܘܪܝܬܐ ܘܙܘܦܐ ܘܪܤ ܥܠ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܥܠ ܥܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܀ | 19 For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, |
| 20 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܐ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܬܦܩܕܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܀ | 20 saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded you." |
| 21 ܐܦ ܥܠ ܡܫܟܢܐ ܘܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܐܢܐ ܕܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܡܢܗ ܡܢ ܕܡܐ ܪܤ ܀ | 21 And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship. |
| 22 ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠܡܕV ܒܕܡܐ ܗܘ ܡܬܕܟܐ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܫܘܦܥ ܕܡܐ ܠܝܬ ܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܀ | 22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. |
| 23 ܐܢܢܩܐ ܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܕܕܡܘܬܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܕܫܡܝܢܝܬܐ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܡܬܕܟܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܝܢܝܬܐ ܒܕܒܚܐ ܕܡܝܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܀ | 23 Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. |
| 24 ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܐ ܕܥܒܝܕ ܒܐܝܕܝܐ ܥܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܗܘ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܗ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܥܠ ܕܢܬܚܙܐ ܩܕV ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܠܦܝܢ ܀ | 24 For Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. |
| 25 ܐܦܠܐ ܕܢܩܪܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܙܒܢܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܪܒ ܟܘܡܪܐ ܘܥܐܠ ܒܟܠ ܫܢܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܐ ܒܕܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܀ | 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own; |
| 26 ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܚܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܙܒܢܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܢܚܫ ܡܢ ܫܘܪܝܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܚܪܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܚܕܐ ܗܘ ܙܒܢ ܩܪܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܒܕܒܝܚܘܬܗ ܕܢܒܛܠܝܗ ܠܚܛܝܬܐ ܀ | 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. |
| 27 ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܤܝV ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܢܡܘܬܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܡܘܬܗܘܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܀ | 27 And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment, |
| 28 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܐܬܩܪܒ ܘܒܩܢܘܡܗ ܕܒܚ ܚܛܗܐ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܠܚܝܝܗܘܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܤܟܝܢ ܠܗ ܀ | 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. |
