Hebrews 10

World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
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.
1Umbram enim habens lex futurorum bonorum, non ipsam imaginem rerum: per singulos annos, eisdem ipsis hostiis quas offerunt indesinenter, numquam potest accedentes perfectos facere:
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?
2alioquin cessassent offerri: ideo quod nullam haberent ultra conscientiam peccati, cultores semel mundati:
3But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
3sed in ipsis commemoratio peccatorum per singulos annos fit.
4For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
4Impossibile enim est sanguine taurorum et hircorum auferri peccata.
5Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.
5Ideo ingrediens mundum dicit: Hostiam et oblationem noluisti: corpus autem aptasti mihi:
6You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
6holocautomata pro peccato non tibi placuerunt.
7Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’”
7Tunc dixi: Ecce venio: in capite libri scriptum est de me: Ut faciam, Deus, voluntatem tuam.
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),
8Superius dicens: Quia hostias, et oblationes, et holocautomata pro peccato noluisti, nec placita sunt tibi, quæ secundum legem offeruntur,
9then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
9tunc dixi: Ecce venio, ut faciam, Deus, voluntatem tuam: aufert primum, ut sequens statuat.
10by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
10In qua voluntate sanctificati sumus per oblationem corporis Jesu Christi semel.
11Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often 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 he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,
12hic autem unam pro peccatis offerens hostiam, in sempiternum sedet in dextera Dei,
13from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
13de cetero exspectans donec ponantur inimici ejus scabellum pedum ejus.
14For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
14Una enim oblatione, consummavit in sempiternum sanctificatos.
15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
15Contestatur autem nos et Spiritus Sanctus. Postquam enim dixit:
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,
16Hoc autem testamentum, quod testabor ad illos post dies illos, dicit Dominus, dando leges meas in cordibus eorum, et in mentibus eorum superscribam eas:
17“I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”
17et peccatorum, et iniquitatum eorum jam non recordabor amplius.
18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
18Ubi autem horum remissio: jam non est oblatio pro peccato.
19Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
19Habentes itaque, fratres, fiduciam in introitu sanctorum in sanguine Christi,
20by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
20quam initiavit nobis viam novam, et viventem per velamen, id est, carnem suam,
21and having a great priest over God’s house,
21et sacerdotem magnum super domum Dei:
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,
22accedamus cum vero corde in plenitudine fidei, aspersi corda a conscientia mala, et abluti corpus aqua munda,
23let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
23teneamus spei nostræ confessionem indeclinabilem (fidelis enim est qui repromisit),
24Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,
24et consideremus invicem in provocationem caritatis, et bonorum operum:
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.
25non deserentes collectionem nostram, sicut consuetudinis est quibusdam, sed consolantes, et tanto magis quanto videritis appropinquantem diem.
26For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
26Voluntarie enim peccantibus nobis post acceptam notitiam veritatis, jam non relinquitur pro peccatis hostia,
27but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
27terribilis autem quædam exspectatio judicii, et ignis æmulatio, quæ consumptura est adversarios.
28A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
28Irritam quis faciens legem Moysi, sine ulla miseratione duobus vel tribus testibus moritur:
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?
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 belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. 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.
32But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:
32Rememoramini autem pristinos dies, in quibus illuminati, magnum certamen sustinuistis passionum:
33partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
33et in altero quidem opprobriis et tribulationibus spectaculum facti: in altero autem socii taliter conversantium effecti.
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.
34Nam et vinctis compassi estis, et rapinam bonorum vestrorum cum gaudio suscepistis, cognoscentes vos habere meliorem et manentem substantiam.
35Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
35Nolite itaque amittere confidentiam vestram, quæ magnam habet remunerationem.
36For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
36Patientia enim vobis necessaria est: ut voluntatem Dei facientes, reportetis promissionem.
37“In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.
37Adhuc enim modicum aliquantulum, qui venturus est, veniet, et non tardabit.
38But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has 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 to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
39Nos autem non sumus subtractionis filii in perditionem, sed fidei in acquisitionem animæ.
