1 O ra, do que estamos dizendo, o ponto principal é este: Temos um sumo sacerdote tal, que se assentou nos céus ã direita do trono da Majestade,

Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

2 m inistro do santuário, e do verdadeiro tabernáculo, que o Senhor fundou, e não o homem.

a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

3 P orque todo sumo sacerdote é constituído para oferecer dons e sacrifícios; pelo que era necessário que esse sumo sacerdote também tivesse alguma coisa que oferecer.

For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

4 O ra, se ele estivesse na terra, nem seria sacerdote, havendo já os que oferecem dons segundo a lei,

For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

5 o s quais servem

who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, “See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.”

6 M as agora alcançou ele ministério tanto mais excelente, quanto é mediador de um melhor pacto, o qual está firmado sobre melhores promessas.

But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.

7 P ois, se aquele primeiro fora sem defeito, nunca se teria buscado lugar para o segundo.

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

8 P orque repreendendo-os, diz: Eis que virão dias, diz o Senhor, em que estabelecerei com a casa de Israel e com a casa de Judá um novo pacto.

For finding fault with them, he said, “Behold, the days come”, says the Lord, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

9 N ão segundo o pacto que fiz com seus pais no dia em que os tomei pela mão, para os tirar da terra do Egito; pois não permaneceram naquele meu pacto, e eu para eles não atentei, diz o Senhor.

not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.

10 O ra, este é o pacto que farei com a casa de Israel, depois daqueles dias, diz o Senhor; porei as minhas leis no seu entendimento, e em seu coração as escreverei; eu serei o seu Deus, e eles serão o meu povo;

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

11 e não ensinará cada um ao seu concidadão, nem cada um ao seu irmão, dizendo: Conhece ao Senhor; porque todos me conhecerão, desde o menor deles até o maior.

They will not teach every man his fellow citizen, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from their least to their greatest.

12 P orque serei misericordioso para com suas iniquidades, e de seus pecados não me lembrarei mais.

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.”

13 D izendo: Novo pacto, ele tornou antiquado o primeiro. E o que se torna antiquado e envelhece, perto está de desaparecer.

In that he says, “A new covenant”, he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
