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 to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
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.
2Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?
3Ka ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau ko ia ʻoku ai ʻae fakamanatu ki he angahala ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē.
3But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
4He ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito mafai ke ʻave ʻae angahala ʻe he toto ʻoe fanga pulu mo e fanga kosi.
4For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should 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 he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.
6Ko e ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻoku ʻikai te ke fiemālie ai.
6You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
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, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) 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;
8Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those 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 he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may 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.
10by which will we have been sanctified through the offering 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:
11Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often 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 he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,
13Pea talu mei ai, mo ʻene ʻamanaki, kaeʻoua ke ngaohi hono ngaahi fili ko hono tuʻungavaʻe.
13from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
14He ko e feilaulau pe taha kuo ne fakahaohaoa ai ʻo taʻengata ʻakinautolu kuo fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi.
14For by one offering he has perfected forever 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, for after saying,
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 that I will make with them after those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;” then he says,
17Pea “ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala mo ʻenau ngaahi hia, ʻe ʻikai te u kei manatuʻi.”
17“I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”
18Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae fakamolemole ʻo ia, ʻe ʻikai ha kei feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala.
18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering 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, brothers, boldness to enter into the 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 way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
21Pea ʻi he ai mo e fungani taulaʻeiki ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua;
21and having a great priest over God’s house,
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’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water,
23Ke tau puke maʻu ʻae fakahā ʻoe tau tui ʻo taʻengaueue; (he ʻoku moʻoni ia kuo ne fakaʻilo;)
23let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
24Pea tau fetokangaʻaki ke fefakaʻaiʻaiʻaki ʻakitautolu ki he ʻofa mo e ngaahi ngaue lelei:
24Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and 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 own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting 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 willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a 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 fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour 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 who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word 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 worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has 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 belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. 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;
32But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:
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.
33partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
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 me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.
35Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa siʻaki hoʻomou tui, ʻaia ʻoku lahi hono totongi lelei.
35Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has 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 you need endurance so that, having done 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.
37“In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.
38Pea ko eni, ʻE moʻui ʻae tonuhia ʻi he tui, ka, ʻOka fakaholomui ia, ʻe ʻikai fiemālie hoku laumālie kiate ia.”
38But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has 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 to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
