1Ko eni, naʻe maʻu moʻoni foki ʻe he ʻuluaki fuakava ʻae ngaahi ngaue fakaʻeiki, pea mo e potu tapu kuo ʻo māmani.
1The former indeed had also justifications of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
2He naʻe langa ʻae ʻuluaki fale fehikitaki; ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tuʻunga maama, mo e ʻaiʻanga meʻa, mo e mā ʻoe ʻao; ʻaia naʻe ui ko e potu tapu.
2For there was a tabernacle made the first, wherein were the candlesticks, and the table, and the setting forth of loaves, which is called the holy.
3Pea naʻe ʻi loto ʻi hono ua ʻoe puipui, ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻaia ʻoku ui ko e potu toputapu;
3And after the second veil, the tabernacle, which is called the holy of holies:
4Naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ipu koula ʻaiʻanga afi, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava naʻe ʻuʻufi takatakai ʻaki ʻae koula, ʻaia naʻe ai ʻae ipu koula naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mana, mo e tokotoko ʻo ʻElone naʻe moto, mo e ongo maka lafalafa ʻoe fuakava;
4Having a golden censer, and the ark of the testament covered about on every part with gold, in which was a golden pot that had manna, and the rod of Aaron, that had blossomed, and the tables of the testament.
5Pea naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi ai ʻae ongo selupi ʻoe nāunau naʻe fakamalu ʻae nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa; ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te mau faʻa fakamatala kotoa pē eni.
5And over it were the cherubims of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: of which it is not needful to speak now particularly.
6Pea kuo pehē hono teuteu ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni, pea hū maʻuaipē ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ki he ʻuluaki fale fehikitaki, ʻo fai ai ʻenau ngaahi ngaue.
6Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests indeed always entered, accomplishing the offices of sacrifices.
7Ka ko hono ua, naʻe ngata ʻi he taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻo liunga taha pe, ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē, ka naʻe ʻikai taʻehatoto, ʻaia ne ne ʻatu maʻana, mo e fai hala ʻae kakai:
7But into the second, the high priest alone, once a year: not without blood, which he offereth for his own, and the people’s ignorance:
8Ko e fakaʻilo eni ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, naʻe teʻeki ai ke fakahā ʻae hala ki he potu tapu, ʻi he kei tuʻu ʻae ʻuluaki fale fehikitaki:
8The Holy Ghost signifying this, that the way into the holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the former tabernacle was yet standing.
9ʻAia ko e fakatātā ki he kuonga ko ia, pea naʻe ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki mo e ngaahi feilaulau, ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa fai ia ke fakahaohaoa ʻae loto ʻo ia naʻe fai ki ai;
9Which is a parable of the time present: according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered, which can not, as to the conscience, make him perfect that serveth, only in meats and in drinks,
10Ko e ngaahi meʻakai mo inu pe, mo e ngaahi fufulu kehekehe, mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni fakasino, naʻe fokotuʻu kaeʻoua ke hoko ʻae kuonga ʻoe fakafoʻou.
10And divers washings, and justices of the flesh laid on them until the time of correction.
11Ka ʻi he hoko mai ʻa Kalaisi, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ʻoe ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻe hoko, ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoku lahi hake mo haohaoa ʻaupito naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻaki ʻae nima, ko hono ʻuhinga, ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe māmani;
11But Christ, being come an high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, that is, not of this creation:
12Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi he toto ʻoe fanga kosi mo e ʻuhikiʻi pulu, ʻa ʻene hū ʻo liunga taha pe ki he potu tapu, ka ʻi hono taʻataʻa ʻoʻona, kuo ne lavaʻi ʻae huhuʻi taʻengata.
12Neither by the blood of goats, or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption.
13He kapau naʻe fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻae taʻemaʻa ki he fakamaʻa ʻoe sino, ʻi he luluku ʻaki ʻae toto ʻoe fanga pulu tangata mo e fanga kosi, mo e efu ʻoe pulu fefine:
13For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh:
14E fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe fakamaʻa homou loto mei he ngaahi ngaue mate ʻe he taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisi, ʻaia naʻa ne feilaulau ʻaki ia taʻehanomele ʻi he Laumālie taʻengata ki he ʻOtua, ke mou tauhi ʻae ʻOtua moʻui?
14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?
15Pea ko e meʻa eni kuo hoko ai ia ko e fakalaloa ʻoe fuakava foʻou, kae fai ʻi he pekia ʻae totongi ki he ngaahi angahala naʻe fai ʻi he ʻuluaki fuakava, pea maʻu ʻekinautolu kuo ui ʻae talaʻofa ʻoe nofoʻanga taʻengata.
15And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death, for the redemption of those transgressions, which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
16He ka ʻi ai ha fuakava, ʻoku totonu ke ʻi ai foki mo e mate ʻo ia ʻoku ne fakamoʻoni ʻae fuakava.
16For where there is a testament, the death of the testator must of necessity come in.
17He ʻoku mālohi ʻae fuakava ko e hili ʻae mate: ka ʻi he kei moʻui ʻae fakamoʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito hano mālohi.
17For a testament is of force, after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the testator liveth.
18Ko ia naʻe ʻikai fakamoʻoni ʻae ʻuluaki fuakava ka ʻi he toto pe.
18Whereupon neither was the first indeed dedicated without blood.
19He kuo leaʻaki ʻe Mōsese ʻae fekau kotoa pē ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki he fono, pea toʻo ʻe ia ʻae toto ʻoe fanga ʻuhikiʻi pulu mo e fanga kosi, fakataha mo e vai, mo e fulufuluʻi sipi kulokula, mo e ʻisope, ʻo ne luluku ʻaki ʻae tohi, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē,
19For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
20ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e toto eni ʻoe fuakava ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.”
20Saying: This is the blood of the testament, which God hath enjoined unto you.
21Pea naʻa ne luluku foki ʻaki ʻae toto ʻae fale fehikitaki, mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻaki ʻae ngaue.
21The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the ministry, in like manner, he sprinkled with blood.
22Pea kuo mei ʻosi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi hono fakamaʻa ʻaki ʻae toto ʻo fakatatau ki he fono; pea ka ʻikai lilingi ʻae toto ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamolemole.
22And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood: and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
23Ko ia naʻe totonu ai ke fakamaʻa ʻaki eni ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ʻi he langi; ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻi he langi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ʻoku lelei lahi hake.
23It is necessary therefore that the patterns of heavenly things should be cleansed with these: but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24He naʻe ʻikai hū ʻa Kalaisi ki he potu tapu naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ʻae nima, ʻaia ko e fakatātā pe ki he moʻoni; ka ki he loto langi, ke ne fakahā eni ia ʻi he ʻao ʻae ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko kitautolu.
24For Jesus is not entered into the holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us.
25Pea naʻe ʻikai foki ke ne feilaulau ʻaki ia ʻo liunga lahi, ʻo hangē ko e hū ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi ki he potu tapu ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē mo e toto kehe;
25Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holies, every year with the blood of others:
26He ka ne pehē, Ta ʻe liunga lahi ʻene mamahi talu hono fakatupu ʻo māmani: ka ko eni, kuo ne fakahā ia ʻo tuʻo taha ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ke ne ʻave ʻae angahala ʻi he feilaulau ʻaki ia ʻe ia.
26For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the world: but now once at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the destruction of sin, by the sacrifice of himself.
27Pea hangē kuo pau ke mate ʻo tuʻo taha ʻae kakai, kae hili ia ko e fakamaau:
27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment:
28Pea pehē foki, kuo feilaulau ʻaki ʻa Kalaisi ʻo liunga taha, ke ne fua ʻae ngaahi hia ʻae tokolahi; pea ʻe fakahā ia ko hono liunga ua, kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻamanaki kiate ia, ki he fakamoʻui, ka ʻe ʻikai ke ʻave ʻae angahala.
28So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many; the second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation.
