1 N a, ko te kawenata tuatahi he tikanga karakia ano ona, me tetahi wahi tapu, he mea mo te ao nei.

Now even a first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, a sanctuary of this world.

2 I hanga hoki tetahi tapenakara, te tuatahi, i reira te turanga rama, me te tepu, me te taro aroaro, tona ingoa ko te Wahi Tapu:

For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein were the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the Holy place.

3 I tua atu hoki o te rua o nga arai, ko te tapenakara, e huaina ana ko te Wahi Tino Tapu.

And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;

4 H e tahu kakara koura i reira me te aaka o te kawenata, he mea whakakikoria nga wahi katoa ki te koura, i roto ano i taua mea ko te oko koura i te mana, ko te tokotoko o Arona i pihi ra, ko nga papa o te kawenata:

having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

5 I runga atu i tenei ko nga Kerupima o te kororia, e whakamarumaru ana i te taumata o te whakamarietanga: e kore aua mea e taea te korero takitahi inaianei.

and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.

6 H eoi ka ata rite nei enei mea, ka haereere nga tohunga i nga wa katoa ki te tapenakara tuatahi, i a ratou e mahi ana i nga ritenga karakia;

Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services;

7 K i te tuarua ia kotahi ano te haerenga atu i te tau, o te tohunga nui anake, kihai ano i mahue nga toto: i tapaea atu hoki mona, mo nga he ano o te iwi:

but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people:

8 K o ta te Wairua Tapu hoki tenei i whakaatu ai, ki te huarahi ki te wahi tino tapu i whakakitea mai, i te mea e tu ana ano te tapenakara tuatahi:

the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing;

9 H e ahua tera mo tenei wa nei, e tapaea ai nga whakahere me nga patunga tapu, kahore nei e tau hei mea i te tangata nana tera mahi kia tino tika te hinengaro;

which is a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect,

10 H eoi ano o era he kainga, he inumanga, he horoinga maha, he tikanga na te kikokiko, he mea whakarite mai, a taea noatia te wa whakatikatika.

being only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

11 I te taenga mai ia o te Karaiti hei tohunga nui mo nga mea pai e whai mai ana i muri, he nui atu ano hoki, he tino tika te tapenakara, ehara i te mea hanga na te ringaringa, ara ehara i te mea no tenei hanganga:

But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

12 E hara ano hoki i te mea no nga koati nga toto, no nga kuao kau ranei, engari nona ake nga toto i haere atu ai ia, kotahi tonu te haerenga, ki roto ki te wahi tino tapu, i te mea ka whiwhi ki tana mea hei hoki mai i a tatou mo ake tonu atu.

nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption.

13 K i te mea hoki ma nga toto o nga puru, o nga koati, ma nga pungarehu ranei o te kuao kau, he mea tauhiuhi ki te hunga kua poke, ka tapu ai, ka ma ai te kikokiko:

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiled, sanctify unto the cleanness of the flesh:

14 T era atu to nga toto o te Karaiti, nana nei i tapae atu a ia ano, he mea kohakore, ki te Atua, i runga i ta te Wairua ora tonu; ma era e ma ai o koutou hinengaro i nga mahi mate, e mahi ai koutou ki te Atua ora.

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15 M o konei ano ia i meinga ai hei Takawaenga mo te kawenata hou, kia mate ai ia hei utu mo nga he i raro i te kawenata tuatahi, kia riro ai i te hunga e karangatia ana te wahi tuturu mo ratou i korerotia i mua.

And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

16 H e ohaki hoki, ko te mea e whai tikanga ai ko te matenga o te tangata nana i whakatakoto.

For where a testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him that made it.

17 K ia mate hoki te tangata, katahi ka whai mana te ohaki: ka u tonu ranei i te mea e ora ana te tangata nana i whakatakoto?

For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth.

18 K oia hoki te mahue ai te toto i te whakatapunga o te kawenata tuatahi.

Wherefore even the first covenant hath not been dedicated without blood.

19 I te mutunga hoki o ta Mohi korero i nga tikanga katoa ki te iwi katoa, hei whakarite i ta te ture, ka mau ia ki nga toto o nga kuao kau, o nga koati, ki te wai, ki te huruhuru whero, ki te hihopa, a tauhiuhia ana e ia te pukapuka, me te iwi kat oa;

For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses unto all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

20 M e tana ki ano, Ko nga toto enei o te kawenata kua whakaakona mai nei e te Atua ki a koutou.

saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you-ward.

21 I tauhiuhia ano hoki e ia ki nga toto te tapenakara, me nga oko katoa mo te mahi minita.

Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he sprinkled in like manner with the blood.

22 I runga hoki i te ture, e tata ana ka kiia, e purea ana nga mea katoa ki te toto; ki te kahore hoki he ringihanga toto, kahore he murunga hara.

And according to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

23 K oia i tika ai kia purea ki enei nga ritenga o nga mea i te rangi; ko nga tino mea ia o te rangi ki nga patunga tapu, pai rawa atu i enei.

It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24 E hara hoki i te mea kua tomo a te Karaiti ki te wahi tapu i hanga e te ringaringa, ki te tauira o te tino wahi; engari ki te tino rangi pu ano, puta ai ki te aroaro o te Atua, mo tatou:

For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:

25 E hara ano i te mea kia maha ana tapaenga i a ia, kia pera me te tohunga nui e haere nei ki roto ki te wahi tino tapu i tenei tau, i tenei tau, no etahi atu ano hoki nga toto;

nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;

26 P enei kia maha he mamaetanga mona, he mea timata i te hanganga ra ano o te ao; tena ko tenei kotahi tonu tona whakakitenga mai i te mutunga o nga wa, hei whakakahore i te hara, i a ia ka meinga hei patunga tapu.

else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

27 N a kua takoto nei te tikanga mo nga tangata kia kotahi tonu te matenga, a muri iho i tenei ko te whakawa;

And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment;

28 W aihoki ko te Karaiti, kotahi tonu tona tapaenga atu hei pikau i nga hara o te tini, a tenei ake ko te rua o ona whakakitenga mai, kahore ano he hara, hei whakaora i te hunga e tatari ana ki a ia.

so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation.
