9:1

Ειχε μεν ουν και η πρωτη δικαιωματα λατρειας το τε αγιον κοσμικον

Now even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, a sanctuary of this world.

9:2

σκηνη γαρ κατεσκευασθη η πρωτη εν η η τε λυχνια και η τραπεζα και η προθεσις των αρτων ητις λεγεται Αγια

For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein were the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the Holy place.

9:3

μετα δε το δευτερον καταπετασμα σκηνη η λεγομενη Αγια αγιων

And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;

9:4

χρυσουν εχουσα θυμιατηριον και την κιβωτον της διαθηκης περικεκαλυμμενην παντοθεν χρυσιω εν η σταμνος χρυση εχουσα το μαννα και η ραβδος Ααρων η βλαστησασα και αι πλακες της διαθηκης

having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

9:5

υπερανω δε αυτης Χερουβιν δοξης κατασκιαζοντα το ιλαστηριον περι ων ουκ εστιν νυν λεγειν κατα μερος

and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.

9:6

Τουτων δε ουτως κατεσκευασμενων εις μεν την πρωτην σκηνην δια παντος εισιασιν οι ιερεις τας λατρειας επιτελουντες

Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services;

9:7

εις δε την δευτεραν απαξ του ενιαυτου μονος ο αρχιερευς ου χωρις αιματος ο προσφερει υπερ εαυτου και των του λαου αγνοηματων

but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people:

9:8

Τουτο δηλουντος του Πνευματος του Αγιου μηπω πεφανερωσθαι την των αγιων οδον ετι της πρωτης σκηνης εχουσης στασιν

the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing;

9:9

ητις παραβολη εις τον καιρον τον ενεστηκοτα καθ ην δωρα τε και θυσιαι προσφερονται μη δυναμεναι κατα συνειδησιν τελειωσαι τον λατρευοντα

which is a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect,

9:10

μονον επι βρωμασιν και πομασιν και διαφοροις βαπτισμοις δικαιωματα σαρκος μεχρι καιρου διορθωσεως επικειμενα

being only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

9:11

Χριστος δε παραγενομενος αρχιερευς των γενομενων αγαθων δια της μειζονος και τελειοτερας σκηνης ου χειροποιητου τουτ εστιν ου ταυτης της κτισεως

But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

9:12

ουδε δι αιματος τραγων και μοσχων δια δε του ιδιου αιματος εισηλθεν εφαπαξ εις τα αγια αιωνιαν λυτρωσιν ευραμενος

nor 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.

¹

9:13

Ει γαρ το αιμα τραγων και ταυρων και σποδος δαμαλεως ραντιζουσα τους κεκοινωμενους αγιαζει προς την της σαρκος καθαροτητα

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiled, sanctify unto the cleanness of the flesh:

9:14

ποσω μαλλον το αιμα του Χριστου ος δια Πνευματος αιωνιου εαυτον προσηνεγκεν αμωμον τω Θεω καθαριει την συνειδησιν ημων απο νεκρων εργων εις το λατρευειν Θεω ζωντι

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

9:15

Και δια τουτο διαθηκης καινης μεσιτης εστιν οπως θανατου γενομενου εις απολυτρωσιν των επι τη πρωτη διαθηκη παραβασεων την επαγγελιαν λαβωσιν οι κεκλημενοι της αιωνιου κληρονομιας

And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

9:16

Οπου γαρ διαθηκη θανατον αναγκη φερεσθαι του διαθεμενου

For where a testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him that made it.

9:17

διαθηκη γαρ επι νεκροις βεβαια επει μηποτε ισχυει οτε ζη ο διαθεμενος

For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth.

9:18

Οθεν ουδε η πρωτη χωρις αιματος ενκεκαινισται

Wherefore even the first covenant hath not been dedicated without blood.

9:19

λαληθεισης γαρ πασης εντολης κατα τον νομον υπο Μωυσεως παντι τω λαω λαβων το αιμα των μοσχων και των τραγων μετα υδατος και εριου κοκκινου και υσσωπου αυτο τε το βιβλιον και παντα τον λαον εραντισεν

For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses unto 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,

9:20

λεγων Τουτο το αιμα της διαθηκης ης ενετειλατο προς υμας ο Θεος

saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you-ward.

9:21

Και την σκηνην δε και παντα τα σκευη της λειτουργιας τω αιματι ομοιως εραντισεν

Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he sprinkled in like manner with the blood.

9:22

και σχεδον εν αιματι παντα καθαριζεται κατα τον νομον και χωρις αιματεκχυσιας ου γινεται αφεσις

And according to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

9:23

Αναγκη ουν τα μεν υποδειγματα των εν τοις ουρανοις τουτοις καθαριζεσθαι αυτα δε τα επουρανια κρειττοσιν θυσιαις παρα ταυτας

It 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.

9:24

ου γαρ εις χειροποιητα εισηλθεν αγια Χριστος αντιτυπα των αληθινων αλλ εις αυτον τον ουρανον νυν εμφανισθηναι τω προσωπω του Θεου υπερ ημων

For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:

9:25

ουδ ινα πολλακις προσφερη εαυτον ωσπερ ο αρχιερευς εισερχεται εις τα αγια κατ ενιαυτον εν αιματι αλλοτριω

nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;

9:26

Επει εδει αυτον πολλακις παθειν απο καταβολης κοσμου νυνι δε απαξ επι συντελεια των αιωνων εις αθετησιν της αμαρτιας δια της θυσιας αυτου πεφανερωται

else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

9:27

Και καθ οσον αποκειται τοις ανθρωποις απαξ αποθανειν μετα δε τουτο κρισις

And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment;

9:28

ουτως και ο Χριστος απαξ προσενεχθεις εις το πολλων ανενεγκειν αμαρτιας εκ δευτερου χωρις αμαρτιας οφθησεται τοις αυτον απεκδεχομενοις εις σωτηριαν

so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation.
