Hebrews 10

Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
1Umbram enim habens lex futurorum bonorum, non ipsam imaginem rerum: per singulos annos, eisdem ipsis hostiis quas offerunt indesinenter, numquam potest accedentes perfectos facere:
2If it could, would not the offerings have ceased? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt the guilt of their sins.
2alioquin cessassent offerri: ideo quod nullam haberent ultra conscientiam peccati, cultores semel mundati:
3Instead, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins,
3sed in ipsis commemoratio peccatorum per singulos annos fit.
4because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
4Impossibile enim est sanguine taurorum et hircorum auferri peccata.
5Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.
5Ideo ingrediens mundum dicit: Hostiam et oblationem noluisti: corpus autem aptasti mihi:
6In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.
6holocautomata pro peccato non tibi placuerunt.
7Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’”
7Tunc dixi: Ecce venio: in capite libri scriptum est de me: Ut faciam, Deus, voluntatem tuam.
8In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law).
8Superius dicens: Quia hostias, et oblationes, et holocautomata pro peccato noluisti, nec placita sunt tibi, quæ secundum legem offeruntur,
9Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.
9tunc dixi: Ecce venio, ut faciam, Deus, voluntatem tuam: aufert primum, ut sequens statuat.
10And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
10In qua voluntate sanctificati sumus per oblationem corporis Jesu Christi semel.
11Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
11Et omnis quidem sacerdos præsto est quotidie ministrans, et easdem sæpe offerens hostias, quæ numquam possunt auferre peccata:
12But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.
12hic autem unam pro peccatis offerens hostiam, in sempiternum sedet in dextera Dei,
13Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet,
13de cetero exspectans donec ponantur inimici ejus scabellum pedum ejus.
14because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified.
14Una enim oblatione, consummavit in sempiternum sanctificatos.
15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:
15Contestatur autem nos et Spiritus Sanctus. Postquam enim dixit:
16“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”
16Hoc autem testamentum, quod testabor ad illos post dies illos, dicit Dominus, dando leges meas in cordibus eorum, et in mentibus eorum superscribam eas:
17Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”
17et peccatorum, et iniquitatum eorum jam non recordabor amplius.
18And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.
18Ubi autem horum remissio: jam non est oblatio pro peccato.
19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
19Habentes itaque, fratres, fiduciam in introitu sanctorum in sanguine Christi,
20by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,
20quam initiavit nobis viam novam, et viventem per velamen, id est, carnem suam,
21and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
21et sacerdotem magnum super domum Dei:
22let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
22accedamus cum vero corde in plenitudine fidei, aspersi corda a conscientia mala, et abluti corpus aqua munda,
23Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.
23teneamus spei nostræ confessionem indeclinabilem (fidelis enim est qui repromisit),
24And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds.
24et consideremus invicem in provocationem caritatis, et bonorum operum:
25Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
25non deserentes collectionem nostram, sicut consuetudinis est quibusdam, sed consolantes, et tanto magis quanto videritis appropinquantem diem.
26If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,
26Voluntarie enim peccantibus nobis post acceptam notitiam veritatis, jam non relinquitur pro peccatis hostia,
27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.
27terribilis autem quædam exspectatio judicii, et ignis æmulatio, quæ consumptura est adversarios.
28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
28Irritam quis faciens legem Moysi, sine ulla miseratione duobus vel tribus testibus moritur:
29How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
29quanto magis putatis deteriora mereri supplicia qui Filium Dei conculcaverit, et sanguinem testamenti pollutum duxerit, in quo sanctificatus est, et spiritui gratiæ contumeliam fecerit?
30For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”
30Scimus enim qui dixit: Mihi vindicta, et ego retribuam. Et iterum: Quia judicabit Dominus populum suum.
31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
31Horrendum est incidere in manus Dei viventis.
32Remember the early days that you were in the light. In those days, you endured a great conflict in the face of suffering.
32Rememoramini autem pristinos dies, in quibus illuminati, magnum certamen sustinuistis passionum:
33Sometimes you were publicly exposed to ridicule and persecution; at other times you were partners with those who were so treated.
33et in altero quidem opprobriis et tribulationibus spectaculum facti: in altero autem socii taliter conversantium effecti.
34You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you yourselves had a better and permanent possession.
34Nam et vinctis compassi estis, et rapinam bonorum vestrorum cum gaudio suscepistis, cognoscentes vos habere meliorem et manentem substantiam.
35So do not throw away your confidence; it holds a great reward.
35Nolite itaque amittere confidentiam vestram, quæ magnam habet remunerationem.
36You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.
36Patientia enim vobis necessaria est: ut voluntatem Dei facientes, reportetis promissionem.
37For, “In just a little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay.
37Adhuc enim modicum aliquantulum, qui venturus est, veniet, et non tardabit.
38But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he shrinks back, I will take no pleasure in him.”
38Justus autem meus ex fide vivit: quod si subtraxerit se, non placebit animæ meæ.
39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
39Nos autem non sumus subtractionis filii in perditionem, sed fidei in acquisitionem animæ.
