新约--希伯来书(Hebrews)--第 8 章
8:1 我们所讲的事，其中第一要紧的，就是我们有这样的大祭司，已经坐在天上至大者宝座的右边，
Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
8:2 在圣所，就是真帐幕里，作执事。这帐幕是主所支的，不是人所支的。
A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
8:3 凡大祭司都是为献礼物和祭物设立的。所以这位大祭司也必须有所献的。
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
8:4 他若在地上，必不得为祭司，因为已经有照律法献礼物的祭司。
For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
8:5 他们供奉的事，本是天上事的形状和影像，正如摩西将要造帐幕的时候，蒙神警戒他，说，你要谨慎，作各样的物件，都要照着在山上指示你的样式。
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
8:6 如今耶稣所得的职任是更美的，正如他作更美之约的中保。这约原是凭更美之应许立的。
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
8:7 那前约若没有瑕疵，就无处寻求后约了。
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8:8 所以主指责他的百姓说，（或作所以主指前约的缺欠说）日子将到，我要与以色列家，和犹大家，另立新约。
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
8:9 不像我拉着他们祖宗的手，领他们出埃及的时候，与他们所立的约。因为他们不恒心守我的约，我也不理他们。这是主说的。
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
8:10 主又说，那些日子以后，我与以色列家所立的约乃是这样。我要将我的律法放在他们里面，写在他们心上，我要作他们的神，他们要作我的子民。
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
8:11 他们不用各人教导自己的乡邻，和自己的弟兄，说，你该认识主。因为他们从最小的到至大的，都必认识我。
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
8:12 我要宽恕他们的不义，不再记念他们的罪愆。
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
8:13 既说新约，就以前约为旧了。但那渐旧渐衰的，就必快归无有了。
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
