1The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,1Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We have such a high priest, one who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
2and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.2a minister in the sanctuary and the true tabernacle that the Lord, not man, set up.
3And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. So this one too had to have something to offer.
4Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.4Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.
5The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”5The place where they serve is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he says, "See that you make everything according to the design shown to you on the mountain."
6Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.6But now Jesus has obtained a superior ministry, since the covenant that he mediates is also better and is enacted on better promises.
7For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.7For if that first covenant had been faultless, no one would have looked for a second one.
8But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.8But showing its fault, God says to them, "Look, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will complete a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
9It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord.9"It will not be like the covenant that I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant and I had no regard for them, says the Lord.
10For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.10"For this is the covenant that I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and I will inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God and they will be my people.
11No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.11"And there will be no need at all for each one to teach his countryman or each one to teach his brother saying, 'Know the Lord,' since they will all know me, from the least to the greatest.
12For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”12"For I will be merciful toward their evil deeds, and their sins I will remember no longer."
13By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.13When he speaks of a new covenant, he makes the first obsolete. Now what is growing obsolete and aging is about to disappear.
