Hebreos 8
|
| Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven, | ASI que, la suma acerca de lo dicho es: Tenemos tal pontífice que se asentó á la diestra del trono de la Majestad en los cielos; |
| As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man. | Ministro del santuario, y de aquel verdadero tabernáculo que el Señor asentó, y no hombre. |
| Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering. | Porque todo pontífice es puesto para ofrecer presentes y sacrificios; por lo cual es necesario que también éste tuviese algo que ofrecer. |
| If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law; | Así que, si estuviese sobre la tierra, ni aun sería sacerdote, habiendo aún los sacerdotes que ofrecen los presentes según la ley; |
| Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain. | Los cuales sirven de bosquejo y sombre de las cosas celestiales, como fué respondido á Moisés cuando había de acabar el tabernáculo: Mira, dice, haz todas las cosas conforme al dechado que te ha sido mostrado en el monte. |
| But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things. | Mas ahora tanto mejor ministerio es el suyo, cuanto es mediador de un mejor pacto, el cual ha sido formado sobre mejores promesas. |
| For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second. | Porque si aquel primero fuera sin falta, cierto no se hubiera procurado lugar de segundo. |
| For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah; | Porque reprendiéndolos dice: He aquí vienen días, dice el Señor, Y consumaré para con la casa de Israel y para con la casa de Judá un nuevo pacto; |
| Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand, to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; for they did not keep the agreement with me, and I gave them up, says the Lord. | No como el pacto que hice con sus padres El día que los tomé por la mano para sacarlos de la tierra de Egipto: Porque ellos no permanecieron en mi pacto, Y yo los menosprecié, dice el Señor. |
| For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people: | Por lo cual, este es el pacto que ordenaré á la casa de Israel Después de aquellos días, dice el Señor: Daré mis leyes en el alma de ellos, Y sobre el corazón de ellos las escribiré; Y seré á ellos por Dios, Y ellos me serán á mí por pueblo: |
| And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small. | Y ninguno eneseñará á su prójimo, Ni ninguno á su hermano, diciendo: Conoce al Señor: Porque todos me conocerán, Desde el menor de ellos hasta el mayor. |
| And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind. | Porque seré propicio á sus injusticias, Y de sus pecados y de sus iniquidades no me acordaré más. |
| When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer. | Diciendo, Nuevo pacto, dió por viejo al primero; y lo que es dado por viejo y se envejece, cerca está de desvanecerse. |
