1 N ow the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

وَخُلاصَةُ الكَلامِ، هُوَ أنَّ لَنا رَئِيْسَ كَهَنَةٍ بِهَذِهِ الميزاتِ جالِساً عَنْ يَمِيْنِ عَرْشِ الجَلالَةِ فِي السَّماواتِ.

2 a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

وَهُوَ يَخدِمُ كَرَئِيْسِ كَهَنَةٍ فِي أقْدَسِ مَكانٍ، أيْ فِي خَيْمَةِ العِبادَةِ الحَقِيْقِيَّةِ. وَهِيَ خَيْمَةٌ لَمْ يَبنِها إنسانٌ، بَلِ الرَّبُّ نَفسُهُ.

3 F or every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

وَيُعَيَّنُ كُلُّ رَئِيْسِ كَهَنَةٍ بِقَصْدِ تَقدِيْمِ تَقدِماتٍ وَذَبائِحَ. وَلِهَذا كانَ ضَرُورِيّاً أنْ يَكُونَ لِرَئِيْسِ كَهَنَتِنا ما يُقَدِّمُهُ أيضاً.

4 N ow if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law;

وَلَوْ كانَ هُنا عَلَى الأرْضِ الآنَ لَما صَلُحَ أنْ يَكُونَ كاهِناً، فَهُناكَ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِيْنَ يُقَدِّمُونَ التَّقدِماتِ الَّتِي تَنُصُّ عَلَيْها الشَّرِيْعَةُ!

5 w ho serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “ See,” He says, “ that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.”

وَما الخِدمَةُ الَّتِي يُؤَدُّونَها إلّا نُسخَةٌ وَظِلٌّ لِما يَجرِي فِي السَّماءِ. وَلِهَذا نَبَّهَ اللهُ مُوسَى عِندَما كانَ عَلَى وَشَكِ أنْ يَنصُبَ خَيْمَةَ العِبادَةِ الأرْضِيَّةِ وَقالَ لَهُ: «احرِصْ عَلَى أنْ تَصنَعَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ حَسَبَ النَّمُوذَجِ الَّذِي أرَيْتُكَ إيّاهُ عَلَى الجَبَلِ.»

6 B ut now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. A New Covenant

لَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَدْ أُعطِيَ خِدمَةً أعظَمَ جِدّاً مِنْ خِدمَةِ أُولَئِكَ الكَهَنَةِ، وَذَلِكَ بِمِقدارِ تَفَوُّقِ العَهدِ الجَدِيدِ الَّذِي وَسِيطُهُ يَسُوعَ عَلَى العَهدِ القَدِيمِ. وَهَذا العَهدُ الجَدِيدُ مُؤَسَّسٌ عَلَى وُعُودٍ أفضَلَ.

7 F or if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second.

فَلَو كانَ العَهدُ الأوَّلُ بِلا عَيْبٍ لَما كانَتْ هُناكَ حاجَةٌ إلَى عَهدٍ آخَرَ يَحِلُّ مَحَلَّهُ.

8 F or finding fault with them, He says, “ Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, When I will effect a new covenant With the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

لَكِنَّ اللهَ وَجَدَهُمْ مَلُومِينَ فَقالَ: «ها تَأْتِي أيّامٌ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ ، حِيْنَ أقطَعُ عَهداً جَدِيداً مَعَ بَنِي إسرائِيلَ وَمَعَ بَنِي يَهُوذا.

9 N ot like the covenant which I made with their fathers On the day when I took them by the hand To lead them out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in My covenant, And I did not care for them, says the Lord.

لَنْ يَكُونَ كَالعَهْدِ الَّذِي قَطَعْتُهُ مَعَ آبائِهِمْ عِندَما أمسَكْتُهُمْ بِيَدِهِمْ لِأُخرِجَهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ. فَهُمْ لَمْ يَظَلُّوا مُخلِصِيْنَ لِعَهدِي، فابْتَعَدْتُ عَنهُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

10 “ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their minds, And I will write them on their hearts. And I will be their God, And they shall be My people.

وَهَذا هُوَ العَهدُ الَّذِي سَأقطَعُهُ مَعَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ بَعدَ تِلكَ الأيّامِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: سَأزرَعُ شَرائِعِي فِي عُقُولِهِمْ، وَسَأكتُبُها عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ. سَأكُونُ إلَهَهُمْ، وَهُمْ سَيَكُونُونَ شَعبِي.

11 “ And they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizen, And everyone his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ For all will know Me, From the least to the greatest of them.

وَلَنْ تَكُونَ هُناكَ حاجَةٌ لأنْ يُعَلِّم أحَدٌ قَرِيْبَهُ وَيَقولَ لَهُ: ‹اعرِفِ الرَّبَّ.› إذْ سَيَعرِفُونَنِي جَمِيعاً، مِنْ صَغِيْرِهِمْ إلَى كَبِيْرِهِمْ.

12 “ For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And I will remember their sins no more.”

فَأنا سَأغفِرُ آثامَهُمْ، وَلَنْ أعُودَ أذكُرُ خَطاياهُمْ.»

13 W hen He said, “ A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.

فَحِيْنَ يَدعُو اللهَ هَذا العَهدَ «جَدِيداً،» فَإنَّهُ يَجعَلُ الأوَّلَ «قَدِيْماً.» وَما هُوَ قَدِيمٌ وَبِلا نَفْعٍ، يَزُولُ سَرِيعاً.
