1 F or 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.

فَلَيسَ 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.

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

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

3 B ut in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.

لَكِنَّ الذَّبائِحَ هِيَ تَذكارٌ لِخَطاياهُمْ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ.

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

فَلا يُمكِنُ لِدَمِ الثِّيْرانِ وَالتُّيوسِ أنْ يَنزِعُ الخَطايا.

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

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

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

لَمْ تَسُرَّكَ الذَّبائِحُ الصَّاعِدَةُ وَقَرابِيْنُ الخَطِيَّةِ.

7 T hen I said, ‘Behold, I have come— In the volume of the book it is written of Me— To do Your will, O God.’”

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

8 P reviously 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),

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

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

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

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

فَبِهَذِهِ المَشِيئَةِ نَحْنُ مُقَدَّسُونَ، بِذَبِيْحَةِ جَسَدِ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ مَرَّةً واحِدَةً إلَى الأبَدِ.

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

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

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

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

13 f rom that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.

وَهُوَ الآنَ يَنتَظِرُ أنْ يُجْعَلَ أعداؤُهُ مِسنَداً لِقَدَمَيْهِ.

14 F or by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

فَبِذَبِيْحَةٍ واحِدَةٍ جَعَلَ المُؤمِنينَ المُقَدَّسينَ كامِلِيْنَ إلَى الأبَدِ.

15 B ut the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,

وَيَشهَدُ لَنا الرُّوحُ القُدُسُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الحَقيقَةِ أيضاً فَيَقُولُ أوَّلاً:

16 “ 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,”

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

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

ثُمَّ يَقولُ: «وَلَنْ أعُودَ أذكُرُ خَطاياهُمْ وَآثامَهُمْ.»

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

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

19 T herefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

لِهَذا أيُّها الإخوَةُ، لَنا جُرأةٌ لِلدُّخُولِ إلَى قُدسِ الأقداسِ بِدَمِ يَسُوعَ.

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

فَنَحنُ نَدخُلُ طَرِيقاً جَدِيداً حَيّاً فَتَحَهُ يَسوعُ أمامَنا عَبْرَ السِّتارَةِ، أيْ جَسَدِهِ.

21 a nd having a High Priest over the house of God,

إذْ لَنا كاهِنٌ عَظِيْمٌ يَتَوَلَّى مَسؤُولِيَّةَ بَيتِ اللهِ،

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.

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

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

فَلِنَتَمَسَّكْ إذاً بِقُوَّةٍ بِالرَّجاءِ الَّذِي نَعْتَرِفُ بِهِ، لأنَّ مَنْ وَعَدَناَ أمينٌ. شَدِّدُوا بَعضُكُمْ بَعضا

24 A nd let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,

فَلْيَنتَبِهْ كُلُّ واحِدٍ إلَى الآخَرِ مُحَرِّضاً إيّاهُ عَلَى المَزِيْدِ مِنَ المَحَبَّةِ وَالأعمالِ الصّالِحَةِ.

25 n ot 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

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

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

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

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

بَلْ يَبقَىْ أنْ نَتَوَقَّعَ دَيْنُونَةً وَناراً هائِجَةً سَتَلتَهِمُ الَّذِيْنَ يُعادُونَ اللهَ!

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

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

29 O f 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?

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

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

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

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

فَما أفظَعَ الوُقُوعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِّ اللهِ الحَيِّ! الصَّبرُ وَالإيمان

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

تَذَكَّرُوا تِلكَ الأيّامَ الأُولَى لإيمانِكُمْ، عِندَما استُنِرْتُمْ بِنُورِ البِشارَةِ، فَصَبَرْتُمْ عَلَى الآلامِ الكَثيرَةِ.

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

تَعَرَّضْتُمْ أحْياناً لِلإهاناتِ وَالمُضايَقاتِ العَلَنِيَّةِ، وَكُنتُمْ تَتَعاطَفُونَ أحياناً أُخْرَى مَعَ الَّذِينَ عُومِلُوا بِهَذِهِ الطَّريقَةِ.

34 f or 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.

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

35 T herefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

فَلا تَخْسَروا ثِقَتَكُمُ الَّتِي سَتَعُودُ عَلَيكُمْ بِمُكافَأةٍ عَظِيْمَةٍ.

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

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

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

لَمْ يَبقَ الآنَ إلّا القَلِيلُ مِنَ الوَقتِ، «وَسَيَأْتِي مَنْ وَعَدَ بِالمَجِيءِ. وَلَنْ يَتَأخَّرَ.

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

البارُّ بِالإيمانِ يَحيا. وَإنِ ارْتَدَّ فَلَنْ أُسَرَّ بِهِ.»

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

لَكِنَّنا لَسنا مِنْ بَينِ الَّذِينَ يَرتَدُّونَ فَيَهلِكُونَ، بَلْ مِنَ الَّذِينَ لَهُمُ الإيمانُ فَيَخلُصُونَ.
