1 ف َلَيسَ لَدَى الشَّرِيعَةِ إلّا ظِلُّ الخَيراتِ الآتِيَةِ. فَهِيَ لا تَحمِلُ نَفسَ جَوهَرِ الأشياءِ الحَقِيقِيَّةِ. فَالشَّرِيعَةُ لا تَقدِرُ أبَداً، بِنَفسِ الذَّبائِحِ الَّتِي تُقَدَّمُ سَنَةً بَعدَ أُخْرَى، أنْ تُكَمِّلَ الَّذِيْنَ يَقتَرِبُونَ مِنَ اللهِ فِي العِبادَةِ.

For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect.

2 و َلَو كانَ فِي مَقدُورِها أنْ تُكَمِّلَهُمْ، أفَما كانُوا يَتَوَقَّفُونَ عَنْ تَقدِيمِها؟ فَلَو تَطَهَّرُوا بِشَكلٍ نِهائِيٍّ مِنْ خَطاياهُمْ، لَما شَعَرُوا بِذَنبِ خَطاياهُمْ!

For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

3 ل َكِنَّ الذَّبائِحَ هِيَ تَذكارٌ لِخَطاياهُمْ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ.

But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.

4 ف َلا يُمكِنُ لِدَمِ الثِّيْرانِ وَالتُّيوسِ أنْ يَنزِعُ الخَطايا.

For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. Christ’s Death Fulfills God’s Will

5 ل ِهَذا عِندَما جاءَ المَسِيحُ إلَى العالَمِ قالَ للهِ: «أنتَ لَمْ تُرِدْ ذَبِيْحَةً وَتَقدِمَةً، لَكِنَّكَ أعدَدْتَ لِي جَسَداً.

Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me.

6 ل َمْ تَسُرَّكَ الذَّبائِحُ الصَّاعِدَةُ وَقَرابِيْنُ الخَطِيَّةِ.

In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure.

7 ث ُمَّ قُلْتُ: ‹فَكَما هُوَ مَكتُوبٌ عَنِّي فِي مَخطُوطَةِ الكِتابِ: ها أنا قَدْ جِئْتُ لأفعَلَ مَشِيئَتَكَ يا اللهُ.›»

Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come— In the volume of the book it is written of Me— To do Your will, O God.’”

8 ق الَ أوَّلاً: «أنتَ لا تُرِيْدُ ذَبائِحَ وَتَقدِماتٍ، ذَبائِحَ صاعِدَةً وَقَرابِيْنَ خَطِيَّةٍ، وَلا تُسَرُّ بِها،» مَعَ أنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ كانَتْ تَطلُبُ تَقدِيْمَ هَذِهِ الذَّبائِحِ.

Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them ” (which are offered according to the law),

9 ث ُمَّ قالَ: «هَأنَذا قَدْ جِئْتُ لِأفعَلَ مَشِيئَتَكَ.» وَهُوَ بِهَذا يَضَعُ النِّظامَ الأوَّلَ جانِباً لِكَيْ يُؤَسِّسَ الثّانِيَ.

then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

10 ف َبِهَذِهِ المَشِيئَةِ نَحْنُ مُقَدَّسُونَ، بِذَبِيْحَةِ جَسَدِ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ مَرَّةً واحِدَةً إلَى الأبَدِ.

By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified

11 ف َكُلُّ كاهِنٍ يَهُودِيٍّ يَقِفُ لِيُؤَدِّيَ وَاجِباتِهِ الدِّيْنِيَّةَ كُلَّ يَومٍ، فَيُقَدِّمَ مَرَّةً تِلْوَ المَرَّةِ نَفسَ الذَّبائِحِ الَّتِي لا تَقدِرُ أنْ تَنزَعَ الخَطايا.

And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

12 أ مّا المَسيحُ، فَبَعدَ أنْ قَدَّمَ ذَبِيحَةً مُفرَدَةً عَنِ الخَطايا مَرَّةً واحِدَةً إلَى الأبَدِ، جَلَسَ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللهِ.

But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,

13 و َهُوَ الآنَ يَنتَظِرُ أنْ يُجْعَلَ أعداؤُهُ مِسنَداً لِقَدَمَيْهِ.

from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.

14 ف َبِذَبِيْحَةٍ واحِدَةٍ جَعَلَ المُؤمِنينَ المُقَدَّسينَ كامِلِيْنَ إلَى الأبَدِ.

For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

15 و َيَشهَدُ لَنا الرُّوحُ القُدُسُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الحَقيقَةِ أيضاً فَيَقُولُ أوَّلاً:

But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,

16 « هَذا هُوَ العَهدُ الَّذِي سَأقطَعُهُ مَعَهُمْ بَعدَ تِلكَ الأيّامِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: سَأضَعُ شَرائِعِي فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَأكتُبُها فِي عُقُولِهِمْ.»

“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the L ord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,”

17 ث ُمَّ يَقولُ: «وَلَنْ أعُودَ أذكُرُ خَطاياهُمْ وَآثامَهُمْ.»

then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

18 ف َعِندَما تَكُونُ هُناكَ مَغفِرَةٌ لِهَذِهِ الخَطايا وَالآثامِ، لا تَعُودُ هُناكَ حاجَةٌ لِقُربانٍ عَنِ الخَطايا. الدُّخُولُ إلَى مَحضَرِ الله

Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. Hold Fast Your Confession

19 ل ِهَذا أيُّها الإخوَةُ، لَنا جُرأةٌ لِلدُّخُولِ إلَى قُدسِ الأقداسِ بِدَمِ يَسُوعَ.

Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20 ف َنَحنُ نَدخُلُ طَرِيقاً جَدِيداً حَيّاً فَتَحَهُ يَسوعُ أمامَنا عَبْرَ السِّتارَةِ، أيْ جَسَدِهِ.

by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,

21 إ ذْ لَنا كاهِنٌ عَظِيْمٌ يَتَوَلَّى مَسؤُولِيَّةَ بَيتِ اللهِ،

and having a High Priest over the house of God,

22 ف َلْنَدخُلْ إذاً مَحضَرَ اللهِ بِقَلْبٍ مُخلِصٍ، وَبِيَقِيْنٍ نابِعٍ مِنَ الإيمانِ. إذْ إنَّ قُلُوبَنا قَدْ رُشَّتْ فَتَطَهَّرَتْ مِنَ الضَّميرِ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَأجسادَنا غُسِلَتْ بِماءٍ نَقِيٍّ.

let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 ف َلِنَتَمَسَّكْ إذاً بِقُوَّةٍ بِالرَّجاءِ الَّذِي نَعْتَرِفُ بِهِ، لأنَّ مَنْ وَعَدَناَ أمينٌ. شَدِّدُوا بَعضُكُمْ بَعضا

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

24 ف َلْيَنتَبِهْ كُلُّ واحِدٍ إلَى الآخَرِ مُحَرِّضاً إيّاهُ عَلَى المَزِيْدِ مِنَ المَحَبَّةِ وَالأعمالِ الصّالِحَةِ.

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,

25 ف َلا يَنبَغِي أنْ نَتَوَقَّفَ عَنْ الِاجتِماعِ مَعاً، كَما يَفعَلُ بَعضُهُمْ. بَلْ لِنَجتَمِعْ لِكَي يُشَجِّعَ أحَدُنا الآخَرَ أكثَرَ فَأكثَرْ، خاصَّةً أنَّ يَومَ الرَّبِّ يَقتَرِبُ! التَّمَسُّكُ بِالنِّعمَة

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. The Just Live by Faith

26 ف َإنَّهُ إنْ تَعَمَّدْنا الاسْتِمَرارَ فِي الخَطِيَّةِ، بَعْدَ أنْ تَلَقَّينا مَعْرِفَةَ الحَقِّ، فَلَنْ تُقْبَلَ ذَبيحَةٌ أُخْرَى عَنْ خَطايانا،

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

27 ب َلْ يَبقَىْ أنْ نَتَوَقَّعَ دَيْنُونَةً وَناراً هائِجَةً سَتَلتَهِمُ الَّذِيْنَ يُعادُونَ اللهَ!

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

28 م َنْ كانَ يُخالِفُ شَرِيْعَةَ مُوسَى، كانَ يُنَفَّذُ فِيْهِ حُكْمُ المَوتِ بِلا رَأْفَةٍ بِناءً عَلَى شَهادَةِ شاهِدَينِ أوْ ثَلاثَةِ شُهُودٍ.

Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

29 ف َتَصَوَّرُوا ما يَستَحِقُّهُ مِنْ عِقابٍ أشَدَّ مَنْ داسَ ابنَ اللهِ، وَاحتَقَرَ دَمَ العَهدِ الَّذي قَدَّسَهُ، وَأهانَ رُوحَ النِّعمَةِ!

Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

30 ف َنَحنُ نَعرِفُ اللهَ الَّذِي قالَ: «لِيَ الانتِقامُ، وَأنا الَّذِي سَيُجازِي.» وَنَعرِفُ مَنْ قالَ أيضاً: «الرَّبُّ سَيَحكُمُ عَلَى شَعبِهِ.»

For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The L ord will judge His people.”

31 ف َما أفظَعَ الوُقُوعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِّ اللهِ الحَيِّ! الصَّبرُ وَالإيمان

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 ت َذَكَّرُوا تِلكَ الأيّامَ الأُولَى لإيمانِكُمْ، عِندَما استُنِرْتُمْ بِنُورِ البِشارَةِ، فَصَبَرْتُمْ عَلَى الآلامِ الكَثيرَةِ.

But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:

33 ت َعَرَّضْتُمْ أحْياناً لِلإهاناتِ وَالمُضايَقاتِ العَلَنِيَّةِ، وَكُنتُمْ تَتَعاطَفُونَ أحياناً أُخْرَى مَعَ الَّذِينَ عُومِلُوا بِهَذِهِ الطَّريقَةِ.

partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated;

34 و َأنتُمْ لَمْ تَتَألَّمُوا بِسَبَبِ الَّذِيْنَ سُجِنُوا فَحَسْبُ، لَكِنَّكُمْ قَبِلتُمْ بِفَرَحٍ مُصادَرَةَ مُمتَلَكاتِكُمْ أيضاً، لِأنَّكُمْ عَرَفْتُمْ أنَّ لَكُمْ شَيئاً أفضَلَ، شَيئاً سَيَدُومُ.

for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven.

35 ف َلا تَخْسَروا ثِقَتَكُمُ الَّتِي سَتَعُودُ عَلَيكُمْ بِمُكافَأةٍ عَظِيْمَةٍ.

Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

36 ل ا بُدَّ لَكُمْ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ حَتَّى تَنالُوا ما وَعَدَ اللهُ بِهِ، بَعدَ أنْ تَكُونُوا قَدْ أطَعتُمُوهُ.

For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

37 ل َمْ يَبقَ الآنَ إلّا القَلِيلُ مِنَ الوَقتِ، «وَسَيَأْتِي مَنْ وَعَدَ بِالمَجِيءِ. وَلَنْ يَتَأخَّرَ.

“For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.

38 ا لبارُّ بِالإيمانِ يَحيا. وَإنِ ارْتَدَّ فَلَنْ أُسَرَّ بِهِ.»

Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”

39 ل َكِنَّنا لَسنا مِنْ بَينِ الَّذِينَ يَرتَدُّونَ فَيَهلِكُونَ، بَلْ مِنَ الَّذِينَ لَهُمُ الإيمانُ فَيَخلُصُونَ.

But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
