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

¶ Nevertheless the first had its justifications of worship and its worldly sanctuary.

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 made: the first, in which was the lampstand and the table and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary.

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 was 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:

which had a golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, in which was the golden urn that had the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the testament,

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 over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the seat of reconciliation, of which we cannot now speak particularly.

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 when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

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 went alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for his own ignorance, and for that 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 signifying in this, that the way into the sanctuary was not yet made manifest, as long as the first tabernacle was 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 was a figure of that time present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience,

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.

but in foods and drinks and different washings and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of correction.

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 being now come, high priest of the good things to come, by a 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.

neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the sanctuary designed for 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 bulls and of goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctified to the purifying 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 the Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from the works of death 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 the new testament, so that death intervening for the redemption of the rebellions that took place under the first testament, those who are called might 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 also of necessity intervene the death of the testator.

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 confirmed by the death: otherwise it is not valid as long as the testator lives.

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

From which came that not even the first one was 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 Moses had read every commandment of the law to all the people, taking the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book 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 testament which God has commanded unto you.

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

Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.

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 almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without 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.

¶ So that it was necessary that the figures of the heavenly things should be purified 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 is not entered into the sanctuary made with hands (which is a figure of the true), but into the heaven itself, now to appear in the presence 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 many times (as the high priest enters into the sanctuary each year with blood that is 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.

otherwise it would have been necessary for him to suffer many times since the foundation of the world; but now once in the consummation of the ages he has appeared to abolish 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 as it is appointed unto men to die once, and after this the 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 also the Christ is offered once to take away the sins of many; and unto those that wait for him without sin he shall appear the second time unto saving health.
