希伯来书 第 8 章
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，
1Now 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;
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。
2A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
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。
3For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
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。
4For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
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。」
5Who 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.
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。
6But 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.
7那前约若没有瑕疵，就无处寻求后约了。
7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8所以主指责他的百姓说： 日子将到， 我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约，
8For 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:
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。
9Not 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.
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。
10For 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:
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。
11And 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.
