1 N ow a summary of the things of which we are speaking, We have such a one high priest who has sat down on right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens;

Na, ko te tino tenei o enei korero: He tohunga pera to tatou, kua noho ki matau o te torona o te Nui i nga rangi;

2 m inister of the holy places and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord has pitched, not man.

He minita mo te wahi tapu, mo te tapenakara pono, tona kaiwhakaara nei ko te Ariki, ehara i te tangata.

3 F or every high priest is constituted for the offering both of gifts and sacrifices; whence it is needful that this one also should have something which he may offer.

Ko nga tohunga nui katoa hoki, he mea whakarite hei tapae atu i nga whakahere, i nga patunga tapu: na konei hoki i tika ai kia whai mea ano tenei tohunga nui hei tapaenga atu mana.

4 I f then indeed he were upon earth, he would not even be a priest, there being those who offer the gifts according to the law,

Me i runga hoki ia i te whenua kahore ona tohungatanga; tenei hoki nga tohunga hei tapae i nga whakahere i runga i ta te ture.

5 ( who serve the representation and shadow of heavenly things, according as Moses was oracularly told about to make the tabernacle; for See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern which has been shewn to thee in the mountain.)

Ko ta ratou mahi he ritenga, he atarangi no nga mea i te rangi, he pera ano me te mea i tohutohungia ki a Mohi, i a ia meake hanga i te tapenakara: i mea hoki ia, Kia mahara kia hanga e koe nga mea katoa kia rite ki te tauira i whakakitea ki a ko e i runga i te maunga.

6 B ut now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.

Tena ko tenei he nui ke te mahi minita kua riro nei i a ia, he pai rawa hoki te kawenata ko tona takawaenga nei ko ia, he pai rawa hoki nga kupu whakaari, i whakatakotoria ai taua kawenata.

7 F or if that first was faultless, place had not been sought for a second.

Mehemea hoki kihai i whai he taua kawenata o mua, e kore e rapua he wahi mo te tuarua.

8 F or finding fault, he says to them, Behold, days come, saith the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant as regards the house of Israel, and as regards the house of Juda;

I a ia hoki e whakahe ana, i mea ia ki a ratou, Nana, tenei ake ko nga ra, e ai ta te Ariki, e whakaritea ai e ahau he kawenata hou ki te whare o Iharaira, ki te whare ano hoki o Hura:

9 n ot according to the covenant which I made to their fathers in day of my taking their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in my covenant, and I did not regard them, saith Lord.

E kore e rite ki te kawenata i whakaritea e ahau ki o ratou matua, i arahi mai ai i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa; kihai nei hoki ratou i u ki taku kawenata, a kore ake oku whakaaro ki a ratou, e ai ta te Ariki.

10 B ecause this the covenant that I will covenant to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their mind, I will write them also upon their hearts; and I will be to them for God, and they shall be to me for people.

Ko te kawenata hoki tenei e whakarite ai ahau ki te whare o Iharaira i muri iho i aua ra, e ai ta te Ariki; ka hoatu e ahau aku ture ki o ratou hinengaro, ka tuhituhia ano hoki ki o ratou ngakau: ko ahau hei Atua mo ratou, ko ratou hoki hei iwi maku:

11 A nd they shall not teach each his fellow-citizen, and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; because all shall know me in themselves, from little one unto great among them.

E kore ano hoki ratou e whakaako i tona hoa, i tona hoa, i tona teina, i tona tuakana, e mea, Kia matau koe ki te Ariki: e matau katoa hoki ratou ki ahau, te nohinohi o ratou, te nui ano hoki o ratou.

12 B ecause I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.

Ka mahi tohu hoki ahau ki o ratou kino, e kore ano hoki e maharatia e ahau o ratou hara a mua ake nei.

13 I n that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged near disappearing.

I a ia i mea, he kawenata hou, kua whakatawhitotia e ia te mea tuatahi. Na, ko te mea kua tawhitotia, kua koroheketia, ka tata te memeha.
