히브리서 9

1첫 언약에도 섬기는 예법과 세상에 속한 성소가 있더라 2예비한 첫 장막이 있고 그 안에 등대와 상과 진설병이 있으니 이는 성소라 일컫고 3또 둘째 휘장 뒤에 있는 장막을 지성소라 일컫나니 4금향로와 사면을 금으로 싼 언약궤가 있고 그 안에 만나를 담은 금항아리와 아론의 싹 난 지팡이와 언약의 비석들이 있고 5그 위에 속죄소를 덮는 영광의 그룹들이 있으니 이것들에 관하여는 이제 낱낱이 말할 수 없노라 6이 모든 것을 이같이 예비하였으니 제사장들이 항상 첫 장막에 들어가 섬기는 예를 행하고 7오직 둘째 장막은 대제사장이 홀로 일 년 일 차씩 들어가되 피 없이는 아니하나니 이 피는 자기와 백성의 허물을 위하여 드리는 것이라 8성령이 이로써 보이신 것은 첫 장막이 서 있을 동안에 성소에 들어가는 길이 아직 나타나지 아니한 것이라 9이 장막은 현재까지의 비유니 이에 의지하여 드리는 예물과 제사가 섬기는 자로 그 양심상으로 온전케 할 수 없나니 10이런 것은 먹고 마시는 것과 여러 가지 씻는 것과 함께 육체의 예법만 되어 개혁할 때까지 맡겨 둔 것이니라 11그리스도께서 장래 좋은 일의 대제사장으로 오사 손으로 짓지 아니한, 곧 이 창조에 속하지 아니한 더 크고 온전한 장막으로 말미암아 12염소와 송아지의 피로 아니하고 오직 자기 피로 영원한 속죄를 이루사 단번에 성소에 들어가셨느니라 13염소와 황소의 피와 및 암송아지의 재로 부정한 자에게 뿌려 그 육체를 정결케 하여 거룩케 하거든 14하물며 영원하신 성령으로 말미암아 흠 없는 자기를 하나님께 드린 그리스도의 피가 어찌 너희 양심으로 죽은 행실에서 깨끗하게 하고 살아계신 하나님을 섬기게 못하겠느뇨 15이를 인하여 그는 새 언약의 중보니 이는 첫 언약 때에 범한 죄를 속하려고 죽으사 부르심을 입은 자로 하여금 영원한 기업의 약속을 얻게 하려 하심이니라 16유언은 유언한 자가 죽어야 되나니 17유언은 그 사람이 죽은 후에야 견고한즉 유언한 자가 살았을 때에는 언제든지 효력이 없느니라 18이러므로 첫 언약도 피 없이 세운 것이 아니니 19모세가 율법대로 모든 계명을 온 백성에게 말한 후에 송아지와 염소의 피와 및 물과 붉은 양털과 우슬초를 취하여 그 책과 온 백성에게 뿌려 20이르되 이는 하나님이 너희에게 명하신 언약의 피라 하고 21또한 이와 같이 피로써 장막과 섬기는 일에 쓰는 모든 그릇에 뿌렸느니라 22율법을 좇아 거의 모든 물건이 피로써 정결케 되나니 피흘림이 없은즉 사함이 없느니라 23그러므로 하늘에 있는 것들의 모형은 이런 것들로써 정결케 할 필요가 있었으나 하늘에 있는 그것들은 이런 것들보다 더 좋은 제물로 할지니라 24그리스도께서는 참 것의 그림자인 손으로 만든 성소에 들어가지 아니하시고 오직 참 하늘에 들어가사 이제 우리를 위하여 하나님 앞에 나타나시고 25대제사장이 해마다 다른 것의 피로써 성소에 들어가는 것 같이 자주 자기를 드리려고 아니하실지니 26그리하면 그가 세상을 창조할 때부터 자주 고난을 받았어야 할 것이로되 이제 자기를 단번에 제사로 드려 죄를 없게 하시려고 세상 끝에 나타나셨느니라 27한번 죽는 것은 사람에게 정하신 것이요 그 후에는 심판이 있으리니 28이와 같이 그리스도도 많은 사람의 죄를 담당하시려고 단번에 드리신 바 되셨고 구원에 이르게 하기 위하여 죄와 상관 없이 자기를 바라는 자들에게 두 번째 나타나시리라

1Now indeed even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary. 2For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lamp stand, the table, and the show bread; which is called the Holy Place. 3After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, 4having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; 5and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can’t speak now in detail. 6Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services, 7but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people. 8The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing; 9which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshiper perfect; 10being only (with meats and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation. 11But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, 12nor 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. 13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh: 14how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it. 17For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives. 18Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood. 19For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to 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, 20saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” 21Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood. 22According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission. 23It 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. 24For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; 25nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own, 26or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment, 28so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

1Zo had dan wel ook het eerste verbond rechten van de gods dienst, en het wereldlijk heiligdom. 2Want de tabernakel was toebereid, namelijk de eerste, in welken was de kandelaar, en de tafel, en de toonbroden, welke genaamd wordt het heilige; 3Maar achter het tweede voorhangsel was de tabernakel, genaamd het heilige der heiligen; 4Hebbende een gouden wierookvat, en de ark des verbonds, alom met goud overdekt, in welke was de gouden kruik, daar het Manna in was, en de staf van Aaron, die gebloeid had, en de tafelen des verbonds. 5En boven over deze ark waren de cherubijnen der heerlijkheid, die het verzoendeksel beschaduwden; van welke dingen wij nu van stuk tot stuk niet zullen zeggen. 6Deze dingen nu, aldus toebereid zijnde, zo gingen wel de priesters in den eersten tabernakel, te allen tijde, om de gods diensten te volbrengen; 7Maar in den tweeden tabernakel ging alleen de hogepriester, eenmaal des jaars, niet zonder bloed, hetwelk hij offerde voor zichzelven en voor des volks misdaden. 8Waarmede de Heilige Geest dit beduidde, dat de weg des heiligdoms nog niet openbaar gemaakt was, zolang de eerste tabernakel nog stand had; 9Welke was een afbeelding voor dien tegenwoordigen tijd, in welken gaven en slachtofferen geofferd werden, die dengene, die de dienst pleegde, niet konden heiligen naar het geweten; 10Bestaande alleen in spijzen, en dranken, en verscheidene wassingen en rechtvaardigmakingen des vleses, tot op den tijd der verbetering opgelegd. 11Maar Christus, de Hogepriester der toekomende goederen, gekomen zijnde, is door den meerderen en volmaakten tabernakel, niet met handen gemaakt, dat is, niet van dit maaksel, 12Noch door het bloed der bokken en kalveren, maar door Zijn eigen bloed, eenmaal ingegaan in het heiligdom, een eeuwige verlossing teweeggebracht hebbende. 13Want indien het bloed der stieren en bokken, en de as der jonge koe, besprengende de onreinen, hen heiligt tot de reinigheid des vleses; 14Hoeveel te meer zal het bloed van Christus, Die door den eeuwigen Geest Zichzelven Gode onstraffelijk opgeofferd heeft, uw geweten reinigen van dode werken, om den levende God te dienen? 15En daarom is Hij de Middelaar des nieuwen testaments, opdat, de dood daartussen gekomen zijnde, tot verzoening der overtredingen, die onder het eerste testament waren, degenen, die geroepen zijn, de beloftenis der eeuwige erve ontvangen zouden. 16Want waar een testament is, daar is het noodzaak, dat de dood des testamentmakers tussen kome; 17Want een testament is vast in de doden, dewijl het nog geen kracht heeft, wanneer de testamentmaker leeft. 18Waarom ook het eerste niet zonder bloed is ingewijd. 19Want als al de geboden, naar de wet van Mozes, tot al het volk uitgesproken waren, nam hij het bloed der kalveren en bokken, met water, en purperen wol, en hysop, besprengde beide het boek zelf, en al het volk, 20Zeggende: Dit is het bloed des testaments, hetwelk God aan ulieden heeft geboden. 21En hij besprengde desgelijks ook den tabernakel, en al de vaten van den dienst met het bloed. 22En alle dingen worden bijna door bloed gereinigd naar de wet, en zonder bloedstorting geschiedt geen vergeving. 23Zo was het dan noodzaak, dat wel de voorbeeldingen der dingen, die in de hemelen zijn, door deze dingen gereinigd werden, maar de hemelse dingen zelve door betere offeranden dan deze. 24Want Christus is niet ingegaan in het heiligdom, dat met handen gemaakt is, hetwelk is een tegenbeeld van het ware, maar in den hemel zelven, om nu te verschijnen voor het aangezicht van God voor ons; 25Noch ook, opdat Hij Zichzelven dikwijls zou opofferen, gelijk de hogepriester alle jaar in het heiligdom ingaat met vreemd bloed; 26(Anders had Hij dikwijls moeten lijden van de grondlegging der wereld af) maar nu is Hij eenmaal in de voleinding der eeuwen geopenbaard, om de zonde te niet te doen, door Zijnzelfs offerande. 27En gelijk het den mensen gezet is, eenmaal te sterven, en daarna het oordeel; 28Alzo ook Christus, eenmaal geofferd zijnde, om veler zonden weg te nemen, zal ten anderen male zonder zonde gezien worden van degenen, die Hem verwachten tot zaligheid.
