1 Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary.
Εῖχε-μὲν-οῦν-[-καὶ-]-η-πρώτη-δικαιώματα-λατρείας-τό-τε-άγιον-κοσμικόν-.-
2 For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary;
σκηνὴ-γὰρ-κατεσκευάσθη-η-πρώτη-εν-ῆ-ή-τε-λυχνία-καὶ-η-τράπεζα-καὶ-η-πρόθεσις-τῶν-άρτων-,-ήτις-λέγεται-Άγια-·-
3 and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All,
μετὰ-δὲ-τὸ-δεύτερον-καταπέτασμα-σκηνὴ-η-λεγομένη-Άγια-Αγίων-,-
4 which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;
χρυσοῦν-έχουσα-θυμιατήριον-καὶ-τὴν-κιβωτὸν-τῆς-διαθήκης-περικεκαλυμμένην-πάντοθεν-χρυσίω-,-εν-ῆ-στάμνος-χρυσῆ-έχουσα-τὸ-μάννα-καὶ-η-ράβδος-Ααρὼν-η-βλαστήσασα-καὶ-αι-πλάκες-τῆς-διαθήκης-,-
5 and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.
υπεράνω-δὲ-αυτῆς-Χερουβεὶν-δόξης-κατασκιάζοντα-τὸ-ιλαστήριον-·-περὶ-ῶν-ουκ-έστιν-νῦν-λέγειν-κατὰ-μέρος-.-
6 Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services.
Τούτων-δὲ-ούτως-κατεσκευασμένων-,-εις-μὲν-τὴν-πρώτην-σκηνὴν-διὰ-παντὸς-εισίασιν-οι-ιερεῖς-τὰς-λατρείας-επιτελοῦντες-,-
7 But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance;
εις-δὲ-τὴν-δευτέραν-άπαξ-τοῦ-ενιαυτοῦ-μόνος-ο-αρχιερεύς-,-ου-χωρὶς-αίματος-,-ὸ-προσφέρει-υπὲρ-εαυτοῦ-καὶ-τῶν-τοῦ-λαοῦ-αγνοημάτων-,-
8 the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.
τοῦτο-δηλοῦντος-τοῦ-πνεύματος-τοῦ-αγίου-,-μήπω-πεφανερῶσθαι-τὴν-τῶν-αγίων-οδὸν-έτι-τῆς-πρώτης-σκηνῆς-εχούσης-στάσιν-,-
9 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience—
ήτις-παραβολὴ-εις-τὸν-καιρὸν-τὸν-ενεστηκότα-,-καθ᾿-ὴν-δῶρά-τε-καὶ-θυσίαι-προσφέρονται-μὴ-δυνάμεναι-κατὰ-συνείδησιν-τελειῶσαι-τὸν-λατρεύοντα-,-
10 concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.
μόνον-επὶ-βρώμασιν-καὶ-πόμασιν-καὶ-διαφόροις-βαπτισμοῖς-,-δικαιώματα-σαρκὸς-μέχρι-καιροῦ-διορθώσεως-επικείμενα-.-
11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.
Χριστὸς-δὲ-παραγενόμενος-αρχιερεὺς-τῶν-γενομένων-αγαθῶν-διὰ-τῆς-μείζονος-καὶ-τελειοτέρας-σκηνῆς-ου-χειροποιήτου-,-τοῦτ᾿-έστιν-ου-ταύτης-τῆς-κτίσεως-,-
12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
ουδὲ-δι᾿-αίματος-τράγων-καὶ-μόσχων-διὰ-δὲ-τοῦ-ιδίου-αίματος-,-εισῆλθεν-εφάπαξ-εις-τὰ-άγια-,-αιωνίαν-λύτρωσιν-ευράμενος-.-
13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,
ει-γὰρ-τὸ-αῖμα-τράγων-καὶ-ταύρων-καὶ-σποδὸς-δαμάλεως-ραντίζουσα-τοὺς-κεκοινωμένους-αγιάζει-πρὸς-τὴν-τῆς-σαρκὸς-καθαρότητα-,-
14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
πόσω-μᾶλλον-τὸ-αῖμα-τοῦ-Χριστοῦ-,-ὸς-διὰ-πνεύματος-αιωνίου-εαυτὸν-προσήνεγκεν-άμωμον-τῶ-θεῶ-,-καθαριεῖ-τὴν-συνείδησιν-ημῶν-απὸ-νεκρῶν-έργων-εις-τὸ-λατρεύειν-θεῶ-ζῶντι-.-
15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Καὶ-διὰ-τοῦτο-διαθήκης-καινῆς-μεσίτης-εστίν-,-όπως-θανάτου-γενομένου-εις-απολύτρωσιν-τῶν-επὶ-τῆ-πρώτη-διαθήκη-παραβάσεων-τὴν-επαγγελίαν-λάβωσιν-οι-κεκλημένοι-τῆς-αιωνίου-κληρονομίας-.-
16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
όπου-γὰρ-διαθήκη-,-θάνατον-ανάγκη-φέρεσθαι-τοῦ-διαθεμένου-·-
17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.
διαθήκη-γὰρ-επὶ-νεκροῖς-βεβαία-,-επεὶ-μήποτε-ισχύει-ότε-ζῆ-ο-διαθέμενος-.-
18 Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood.
όθεν-ουδὲ-η-πρώτη-χωρὶς-αίματος-εγκεκαίνισται-·-
19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
λαληθείσης-γὰρ-πάσης-εντολῆς-κατὰ-τὸν-νόμον-υπὸ-Μωυσέως-παντὶ-τῶ-λαῶ-,-λαβὼν-τὸ-αῖμα-τῶν-μόσχων-μετὰ-ύδατος-καὶ-ερίου-κοκκίνου-καὶ-υσσώπου-αυτό-τε-τὸ-βιβλίον-καὶ-πάντα-τὸν-λαὸν-εράντισεν-,-
20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.”
λέγων-,-Τοῦτο-τὸ-αῖμα-τῆς-διαθήκης-ῆς-ενετείλατο-πρὸς-υμᾶς-ο-θεός-·-
21 Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.
καὶ-τὴν-σκηνὴν-δὲ-καὶ-πάντα-τὰ-σκεύη-τῆς-λειτουργίας-τῶ-αίματι-ομοίως-εράντισεν-.-
22 And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
καὶ-σχεδὸν-εν-αίματι-πάντα-καθαρίζεται-κατὰ-τὸν-νόμον-,-καὶ-χωρὶς-αιματεκχυσίας-ου-γίνεται-άφεσις-.-
23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Ανάγκη-οῦν-τὰ-μὲν-υποδείγματα-τῶν-εν-τοῖς-ουρανοῖς-τούτοις-καθαρίζεσθαι-,-αυτὰ-δὲ-τὰ-επουράνια-κρείττοσιν-θυσίαις-παρὰ-ταύτας-.-
24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;
ου-γὰρ-εις-χειροποίητα-εισῆλθεν-άγια-Χριστός-,-αντίτυπα-τῶν-αληθινῶν-,-αλλ᾿-εις-αυτὸν-τὸν-ουρανόν-,-νῦν-εμφανισθῆναι-τῶ-προσώπω-τοῦ-θεοῦ-υπὲρ-ημῶν-·-
25 not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another—
ουδ᾿-ίνα-πολλάκις-προσφέρη-εαυτόν-,-ώσπερ-ο-αρχιερεὺς-εισέρχεται-εις-τὰ-άγια-κατ᾿-ενιαυτὸν-εν-αίματι-αλλοτρίω-,-
26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
επεὶ-έδει-αυτὸν-πολλάκις-παθεῖν-απὸ-καταβολῆς-κόσμου-·-νυνὶ-δὲ-άπαξ-επὶ-συντελεία-τῶν-αιώνων-εις-αθέτησιν-[-τῆς-]-αμαρτίας-διὰ-τῆς-θυσίας-αυτοῦ-πεφανέρωται-.-
27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
καὶ-καθ᾿-όσον-απόκειται-τοῖς-ανθρώποις-άπαξ-αποθανεῖν-,-μετὰ-δὲ-τοῦτο-κρίσις-,-
28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
ούτως-καὶ-ο-Χριστός-,-άπαξ-προσενεχθεὶς-εις-τὸ-πολλῶν-ανενεγκεῖν-αμαρτίας-,-εκ-δευτέρου-χωρὶς-αμαρτίας-οφθήσεται-τοῖς-αυτὸν-απεκδεχομένοις-εις-σωτηρίαν-.-
