1He ko e meʻa ʻi he maʻu ʻe he fono ʻae ʻata pe ʻoe ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻe hoko, kae ʻikai ko hono tatau moʻoni ʻoe ngaahi meʻa, ʻoka ʻikai faʻa fai ia ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau ko ia ʻoku nau faʻa ʻatu ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē, ke fakahaohaoaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai ki ai.
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.
2He ka ne pehē, ʻikai kuo tuku hono feilaulauʻaki? He koeʻuhi koe kau lotu kuo fakamaʻa ʻo tuʻo taha, ʻe ʻikai te nau kei ongoʻi loto ʻae angahala.
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.
3Ka ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau ko ia ʻoku ai ʻae fakamanatu ki he angahala ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē.
3Instead, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins,
4He ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito mafai ke ʻave ʻae angahala ʻe he toto ʻoe fanga pulu mo e fanga kosi.
4because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe ia, ʻi heʻene hāʻele mai ki māmani, “Ko e feilaulau mo e meʻa foaki naʻe ʻikai te ke finangalo ki ai, ka kuo ke teuteu ʻae sino moʻoku:
5Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.
6Ko e ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻoku ʻikai te ke fiemālie ai.
6In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.
7Peau toki pehē, ‘ʻE ʻOtua, vakai, ʻoku ou haʻu ke fai ho finangalo: he kuo tohi ʻi he tohi tākai ʻiate au.’”
7Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’”
8Pea ʻi heʻene fuofua pehē mai, “Ko e feilaulau mo e meʻa foaki mo e feilaulau tutu mo e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala, naʻe ʻikai te ke finangalo ki ai,” pe fiemālie ai ʻaia ʻoku ʻatu ʻo fakatatau ki he fono;
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).
9Pea toki pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻOtua, vakai, ʻoku ou haʻu ke fai ho finangalo.” ʻOku ne ʻave ʻae ʻuluaki, ka ne fokotuʻumaʻu hono ua.
9Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.
10Pea ko e finangalo ko ia ʻoku fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ai ʻakitautolu, ʻi he feilaulau ʻaki ʻae sino ʻo Sisu Kalaisi ʻo liunga taha pe.
10And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11Pea ʻoku tuʻu ʻae taulaʻeiki kotoa pē ʻi he ʻaho fulipē ʻo tauhi, mo feilaulau ʻaki ʻo liunga lahi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau pe ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa fai ke ʻave ʻae angahala:
11Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12Ka ko ia, kuo hili ʻene ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ʻe taha koeʻuhi ko e angahala, pea nofo ia ʻo taʻengata ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻOtua;
12But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.
13Pea talu mei ai, mo ʻene ʻamanaki, kaeʻoua ke ngaohi hono ngaahi fili ko hono tuʻungavaʻe.
13Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet,
14He ko e feilaulau pe taha kuo ne fakahaohaoa ai ʻo taʻengata ʻakinautolu kuo fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi.
14because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified.
15ʻAia ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kitautolu: he kuo hili ʻene muʻaki lea mai,
15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:
16“Ko e fuakava eni ʻaia te u fai mo kinautolu ʻoka hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u ʻai ʻeku ngaahi fekau ki honau loto, pea te u tohi ia ʻi honau laumālie;
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.”
17Pea “ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala mo ʻenau ngaahi hia, ʻe ʻikai te u kei manatuʻi.”
17Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”
18Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae fakamolemole ʻo ia, ʻe ʻikai ha kei feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala.
18And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.
19Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻapaʻapangofua ʻetau hū ki he potu tapu ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻo Sisu,
19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
20ʻI he hala foʻou pea moʻui, ʻaia kuo ne fakatapui moʻotautolu, ʻi he puipui, ʻaia ko hono sino;
20by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,
21Pea ʻi he ai mo e fungani taulaʻeiki ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua;
21and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22Ke tau ʻunuʻunu atu ʻi he loto moʻoni mo e ʻamanaki mālohi ʻoe tui, kuo luluku hotau loto mei he ʻatamai kovi, pea fakamaʻa mo hotau sino ʻaki ʻae vai maʻa.
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.
23Ke tau puke maʻu ʻae fakahā ʻoe tau tui ʻo taʻengaueue; (he ʻoku moʻoni ia kuo ne fakaʻilo;)
23Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.
24Pea tau fetokangaʻaki ke fefakaʻaiʻaiʻaki ʻakitautolu ki he ʻofa mo e ngaahi ngaue lelei:
24And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds.
25Ke ʻoua naʻa siʻaki ʻekitautolu ʻe tau faʻa fakataha ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he niʻihi; kae feakonakiʻaki ʻakimoutolu : pea ʻāsili ai, ko hoʻomou ʻilo ʻoku ofi mai ʻae ʻaho.
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.
26He kapau te tau angahala ka ko hotau loto, ka kuo hili ʻetau maʻu ʻae ʻilo ʻoe moʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai kei toe ha feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala,
26If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,
27Ka ko e ʻamanaki fakailifia ki he fakamaau mo e houhau vela, ʻaia ʻe fakaʻauha ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fili.
27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.
28Ko ia naʻa ne maumauʻi ʻae fono ʻa Mōsese, naʻe mate taʻefakamolemolea ʻi he fakamoʻoni ʻe toko ua pe toko tolu:
28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29Pea ʻoku mou pehē, ʻe fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe tautea ʻe taau ke hoko kiate ia, kuo ne malaki hifo ʻae ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ne ui ʻae taʻataʻa ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia naʻe fakamaʻa ʻaki ia, ko e meʻa taʻemaʻa, pea kuo ne fai fakamamahi ki he Laumālie ʻoe ʻaloʻofa?
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?
30He ʻoku tau ʻilo ia ʻaia kuo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻae tautea, te u totongi ʻeau.” Pea toe pehē, “E fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai.”
30For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”
31Ko e meʻa fakailifia ke tō ki he nima ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui.
31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32Ka mou fakamanatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa, ne hili homou fakamāmangia, pea ne mou kātaki ʻae taʻu lahi ʻoe ngaahi mamahi;
32Remember the early days that you were in the light. In those days, you endured a great conflict in the face of suffering.
33Ko e niʻihi, ʻi hono ngaohi ʻakimoutolu ko e siofiaʻanga ʻi he ngaahi manuki mo e ngaahi fakamamahi; pea ko e niʻihi, ʻi hoʻomou kaumeʻa mo kinautolu naʻe pehē ʻa honau ngaohi.
33Sometimes you were publicly exposed to ridicule and persecution; at other times you were partners with those who were so treated.
34He naʻa mou manavaʻofa kiate au ʻi hoku ngaahi haʻi, pea naʻa mou tali fiefia ʻae maumau ʻo hoʻomou koloa, ko hoʻomou ʻilo ʻoku mou maʻu ʻi he langi ʻae koloa lelei lahi hake pea tolonga.
34You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you yourselves had a better and permanent possession.
35Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa siʻaki hoʻomou tui, ʻaia ʻoku lahi hono totongi lelei.
35So do not throw away your confidence; it holds a great reward.
36He ʻoku taau mo kimoutolu ʻae faʻa kātaki, koeʻuhi ka hili hoʻomou fai ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ke mou maʻu ʻae talaʻofa.
36You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.
37“Koeʻuhi ʻe toetoe siʻi pe, pea ko ia ʻoku haʻu, ʻe haʻu pe, pea ʻe ʻikai fakatuai.
37For, “In just a little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay.
38Pea ko eni, ʻE moʻui ʻae tonuhia ʻi he tui, ka, ʻOka fakaholomui ia, ʻe ʻikai fiemālie hoku laumālie kiate ia.”
38But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he shrinks back, I will take no pleasure in him.”
39Ka ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻonautolu ʻoku fakaholomui ki he malaʻia; kae ʻonautolu ʻoku tui ki he fakamoʻui ʻoe laumālie.
39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
