1 F or the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

I te mea ko to te ture he atarangi no nga mea pai e puta ana mai i muri, ehara i te ahua pu o aua mea, e kore e whai mana i aua patunga tapu e whakaeketia tonutia ana e ratou i tenei tau, i tenei tau, e tino tika ai te hunga e whakatata ana.

2 F or then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

Penei e kore ranei e mutu te whakaeke? me i oti hoki te hunga nana taua karakia te mea kia ma, kua kore o ratou mahara ki nga hara?

3 B ut in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

I aua patunga tapu ia e hokihoki ana te mahara ki nga hara i ia tau, i ia tau.

4 F or it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

E kore hoki e tau ma nga toto o nga puru, o nga koati e whakakahore nga hara.

5 W herefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

Na reira i a ia e haere mai ana ki te ao, ka mea ia, Kihai i matenuitia e koe te patunga tapu me te whakahere, kua rite mai i a koe he tinana moku.

6 I n burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

Kihai koe i ahuareka ki nga tahunga tinana ki nga whakahere hara:

7 T hen said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

Katahi ahau ka mea atu, Tenei ahau te haere atu nei, kei roto i te upoko o te pukapuka te tuhituhinga moku, ki te mea i tau i pai ai, e te Atua.

8 A bove when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

I tana meatanga i mua ake, Kihai koe i matenui ki te patunga tapu, ki te whakahere, ki nga tahunga tinana, ki nga whakahere hara, kahore ano hoki ou ahuareka mai, he mea nei e tapaea ana i runga i te ture;

9 T hen said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

Katahi ia ka mea, Tenei ahau te haere atu nei ki te mea i tau i pai ai, e te Atua. E tangohia ana e ia te tuatahi, kia whakaturia ai e ia te tuarua.

10 B y the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Na taua pai nei i oti ai tatou te whakatapu, he meatanga na te tapaenga atu kotahi o te tinana o Ihu Karaiti.

11 A nd every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

Na, ko nga tohunga katoa, e tu ana ratou, e minita ana i tenei ra, i tenei ra, he maha ano hoki a ratou whakaekenga atu i aua patunga tapu ra ano, e kore rawa nei e tau hei tango i nga hara:

12 B ut this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Ko tenei ia, kotahi nei tana patunga tapu i whakaeke atu ai mo nga hara, noho tonu atu i te ringa matau o te Atua;

13 F rom henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

I muri nei he tatari tana kia waiho ra ano ona hoariri hei takahanga mo ona waewae.

14 F or by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Kotahi nei hoki tana whakahere, a tika tonu i a ia ake ake te hunga ka oti te whakatapu.

15 W hereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

Hei kaiwhakaatu ano te Wairua Tapu mo tenei ki a tatou: i muri mai i tana kiinga mai,

16 T his is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

Ko te kawenata tenei e whakaritea e ahau ki a ratou i muri i aua ra, e ki ana te Ariki, ka hoatu e ahau aku ture ki o ratou ngakau, ka tuhituhia hoki e ahau ki o ratou hinengaro; a ka mea ano ia,

17 A nd their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

E kore hoki e maharatia e ahau o ratou hara, o ratou kino a mua ake.

18 N ow where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Na, ki te murua enei, kahore he whakahere mo nga hara i muri iho.

19 H aving therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

Na, e oku teina, ka ai nei nga toto o Ihu hei take e maia ai tatou te tomo ki te tino wahi tapu;

20 B y a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

Hei ara hou mo tatou, ara hei ara ora, he mea whakatapu nana, e tika atu ana na te arai, ara na tona kikokiko;

21 A nd having an high priest over the house of God;

A, i te mea he nui to tatou tohunga mo te whare o te Atua;

22 L et 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.

Kia whakatata atu tatou, i runga i te ngakau pono, i te whakapono e tino u ana, he mea tauhiuhi te ngakau, kia kore ai te hinengaro kino, he mea horoi ano hoki te tinana ki te wai marama.

23 L et us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Kia mau ta tatou whakaae ki te mea e tumanakohia atu nei, kei ngaueue; he pono hoki ta te kaiwhakaari mai;

24 A nd let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

Kia whai whakaaro ano tatou tetahi ki tetahi, kia whakaohokia te aroha me nga mahi pai:

25 N ot forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Kei mahue te huihui i a tatou ano, kei pera me te hanga a etahi; engari me whakahauhau tetahi i tetahi: kia nui rawa ano hoki i te mea ka kite koutou ka tata te ra.

26 F or if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Ki te hara hoki tatou i muri iho i to tatou whiwhinga ki te matauranga ki te pono, kahore atu hoki he patunga tapu i mahue mo nga hara;

27 B ut a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Engari ka tatari ahua mataku ki te whakawa, ki te riri kino ano na te ahi, e whakangaromia ai nga hoariri.

28 H e that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

Ko te tangata i takahi i te ture a Mohi kihai i tohungia, ka mate i runga i te kupu a nga kaiwhakaatu tokorua, tokotoru ranei:

29 O f how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Ki to koutou whakaaro, e kore ranei e tika kia rahi ake te whiu mo te tangata i takahia ai te Tama a te Atua, i meinga ai hei mea noa nga toto o te kawenata i whakatapua ai ia, a whakaiti ana i te Wairua o te aroha noa?

30 F or we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

E matau ana hoki tatou na wai tenei kupu, Maku te rapu utu; maku te hoatu utu, e ai ta te Ariki: me tenei ano, E whakawa te Ariki mo tana iwi.

31 I t is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

He mea mataku te taka ki roto ki nga ringaringa o te Atua ora.

32 B ut call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

Engari kia mahara ki nga ra o mua, i a koutou i whakamaramatia ra, he nui noa atu nga rauhanga a te mate, i whakaririka kau na koutou;

33 P artly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

Ko tetahi wahi, i a koutou i meinga e nga tawainga, e nga tukinotanga hei mea matakitaki; ko tetahi wahi, i a koutou i meinga hei hoa mo te hunga i peratia.

34 F or ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

I mamae tahi hoki koutou me te hunga i te herehere, i hari hoki ki te pahuatanga o o koutou taonga, i mahara hoki tera atu he taonga mo koutou, he mea pai ake, he mea pumau tonu.

35 C ast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

Na, kaua e whakarerea to koutou maia, he rahi hoki tona utu.

36 F or ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

Ko te mea hoki hei matenuitanga ma koutou he manawanui; kia oti ai i a koutou te mahi ta te Atua i pai ai, e riro tonu ai i a koutou nga mea i whakaaria mai ra.

37 F or yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

Potopoto kau ake hoki, a ka tae mai tenei e haere mai nei, e kore ano e whakaroa.

38 N ow the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

Ma te whakapono ia e ora ai te tangata tika: a ki te hoki tetahi ki muri, e kore toku wairua e ahuareka ki a ia.

39 B ut we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Otiia ehara tatou i te hunga e hoki ana ki muri, ki te whakangaromanga, engari no te hunga e whakapono ana, a ora ana te wairua.
