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 having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things; by the selfsame sacrifices which they offer continually every year, can never make the comers thereunto perfect:
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.
2For then they would have ceased to be offered: because the worshippers once cleansed should have no conscience of sin any longer:
3Ka ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau ko ia ʻoku ai ʻae fakamanatu ki he angahala ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē.
3But in them there is made a commemoration of sins every year.
4He ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito mafai ke ʻave ʻae angahala ʻe he toto ʻoe fanga pulu mo e fanga kosi.
4For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sin should be taken away.
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:
5Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me:
6Ko e ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻoku ʻikai te ke fiemālie ai.
6Holocausts for sin did not please thee.
7Peau toki pehē, ‘ʻE ʻOtua, vakai, ʻoku ou haʻu ke fai ho finangalo: he kuo tohi ʻi he tohi tākai ʻiate au.’”
7Then said I: Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written of me: that I should do thy 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 saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which 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 said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: he taketh away the first, that he may establish that which followeth.
10Pea ko e finangalo ko ia ʻoku fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ai ʻakitautolu, ʻi he feilaulau ʻaki ʻae sino ʻo Sisu Kalaisi ʻo liunga taha pe.
10In the which will, we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once.
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:
11And every priest indeed standeth daily ministering, and often offering 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 this man offering one sacrifice for sins, for ever sitteth on the right hand of God,
13Pea talu mei ai, mo ʻene ʻamanaki, kaeʻoua ke ngaohi hono ngaahi fili ko hono tuʻungavaʻe.
13From henceforth expecting, until his enemies be made his footstool.
14He ko e feilaulau pe taha kuo ne fakahaohaoa ai ʻo taʻengata ʻakinautolu kuo fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi.
14For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15ʻAia ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kitautolu: he kuo hili ʻene muʻaki lea mai,
15And the Holy Ghost also doth testify this to us. For after that he said:
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;
16And this is the testament which I will make unto them after those days, saith the Lord. I will give my laws in their hearts, and on their minds will I write them:
17Pea “ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala mo ʻenau ngaahi hia, ʻe ʻikai te u kei manatuʻi.”
17And their sins and iniquities I will remember no more.
18Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae fakamolemole ʻo ia, ʻe ʻikai ha kei feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala.
18Now where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin.
19Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻapaʻapangofua ʻetau hū ki he potu tapu ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻo Sisu,
19Having therefore, brethren, a confidence in the entering into the holies by the blood of Christ;
20ʻI he hala foʻou pea moʻui, ʻaia kuo ne fakatapui moʻotautolu, ʻi he puipui, ʻaia ko hono sino;
20A new and living way which he hath dedicated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
21Pea ʻi he ai mo e fungani taulaʻeiki ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua;
21And a high 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 true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with clean water.
23Ke tau puke maʻu ʻae fakahā ʻoe tau tui ʻo taʻengaueue; (he ʻoku moʻoni ia kuo ne fakaʻilo;)
23Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering (for he is faithful that hath promised),
24Pea tau fetokangaʻaki ke fefakaʻaiʻaiʻaki ʻakitautolu ki he ʻofa mo e ngaahi ngaue lelei:
24And let us consider one another, to provoke unto charity and to good works:
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.
25Not forsaking our assembly, as some are accustomed; but comforting one another, and so much 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,
26For if we sin wilfully after having the knowledge of the truth, there is now left no sacrifice for sins,
27Ka ko e ʻamanaki fakailifia ki he fakamaau mo e houhau vela, ʻaia ʻe fakaʻauha ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fili.
27But a certain dreadful expectation of judgment, and the rage of a fire which shall consume the adversaries.
28Ko ia naʻa ne maumauʻi ʻae fono ʻa Mōsese, naʻe mate taʻefakamolemolea ʻi he fakamoʻoni ʻe toko ua pe toko tolu:
28A man making void the law of Moses, dieth without any mercy under 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, do you think he deserveth worse punishments, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath esteemed the blood of the testament unclean, by which he was sanctified, and hath offered an affront to 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 that hath said: Vengeance belongeth to me, and I will repay. And again: The Lord shall 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;
32But call to mind the former days, wherein, being illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions.
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.
33And on the one hand indeed, by reproaches and tribulations, were made a gazingstock; and on the other, became companions of them that were used in such sort.
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.
34For you both had compassion on them that were in bands, and took with joy the being stripped of your own goods, knowing that you have a better and a lasting substance.
35Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa siʻaki hoʻomou tui, ʻaia ʻoku lahi hono totongi lelei.
35Do not therefore lose your confidence, which hath 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.
36For patience is necessary for you; that, doing the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37“Koeʻuhi ʻe toetoe siʻi pe, pea ko ia ʻoku haʻu, ʻe haʻu pe, pea ʻe ʻikai fakatuai.
37For yet a little and a very little while, and he that is to come, 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 just man liveth by faith; but if he withdraw himself, he shall not please my soul.
39Ka ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻonautolu ʻoku fakaholomui ki he malaʻia; kae ʻonautolu ʻoku tui ki he fakamoʻui ʻoe laumālie.
39But we are not the children of withdrawing unto perdition, but of faith to the saving of the soul.
