1	Certainly, the former also had the justifications of worship and a holy place for that age.	Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly place of holiness.	Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.
2	For a tabernacle was made at first, in which were the lampstand, and the table, and the bread of the Presence, which is called Holy.	For a tent was prepared, the first section, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence. It is called the Holy Place.	A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place.
3	Then, beyond the second veil, was the tabernacle, which is called the Holy of Holies,	Behind the second curtain was a second section called the Most Holy Place,	Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,
4	having a golden censer, and the ark of the testament, covered all around and on every part with gold, in which was a golden urn containing manna, and the rod of Aaron which had blossomed, and the tablets of the testament.	having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron’s staff that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.	which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
5	And over the ark were the Cherubim of glory, overshadowing the propitiatory. There is not enough time to speak about each of these things.	Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.	Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory, overshadowing the atonement cover. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
6	Yet truly, once such things were placed together, in the first part of the tabernacle, the priests were, indeed, continually entering, so as to carry out the duties of the sacrifices.	These preparations having thus been made, the priests go regularly into the first section, performing their ritual duties,	When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly into the outer room to carry on their ministry.
7	But into the second part, once a year, the high priest alone entered, not without blood, which he offered on behalf of the neglectful offenses of himself and of the people.	but into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people.	But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.
8	In this way, the Holy Spirit is signifying that the way to what is most holy was not yet made manifest, not while the first tabernacle was still standing.	By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing	The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning.
9	And this is a parable for the present time. Accordingly, those gifts and sacrifices that are offered are not able, as concerns the conscience, to make perfect those things that serve only as food and drink,	(which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,	This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper.
10	as well as the various washings and justices of the flesh, which were imposed upon them until the time of correction.	but deal only with food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.	They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings—external regulations applying until the time of the new order.
11	But Christ, standing as the High Priest of future good things, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, one not made by hand, that is, not of this creation,	But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)	But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation.
12	entered once into the Holy of Holies, having obtained eternal redemption, neither by the blood of goats, nor of calves, but by his own blood.	he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.	He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.
13	For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the ashes of a calf, when these are sprinkled, sanctify those who have been defiled, in order to cleanse the flesh,	For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh,	The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.
14	how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the Holy Spirit has offered himself, immaculate, to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, in order to serve the living God?	how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.	How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
15	And thus he is the Mediator of the new testament, so that, by his death, he intercedes for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament, so that those who have been called may receive the promise of an eternal inheritance.	Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.	For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
16	For where there is a testament, it is necessary for the death of the one who testifies to intervene.	For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.	In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it,
17	For a testament is confirmed by death. Otherwise, it as yet has no force, as long as the one who testifies lives.	For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.	because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.
18	Therefore, indeed, the first was not dedicated without blood.	Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.	This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.
19	For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to the entire people, he took up the blood of calves and goats, with water and with scarlet wool and hyssop, and he sprinkled both the book itself and the entire people,	For when every commandment of the law had been declared 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,	When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.
20	saying: “This is the blood of the testament which God has commanded for you.”	saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.”	He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”
21	And even the tabernacle, and all the vessels for the ministry, he similarly sprinkled with blood.	And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.	In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies.
22	And nearly everything, according to the law, is to be cleansed with blood. And without the shedding of blood, there is no remission.	Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.	In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23	Therefore, it is necessary for the examples of heavenly things to be cleansed, just as, indeed, these things were. Yet the heavenly things are themselves better sacrifices than these.	Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.	It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24	For Jesus did not enter by means of holy things made with hands, mere examples of the true things, but he entered into Heaven itself, so that he may appear now before the face of God for us.	For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.	For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.
25	And he did not enter so as to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters into the Holy of Holies each year, with the blood of another.	Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own,	Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.
26	Otherwise, he would need to have suffered repeatedly since the beginning of the world. But now, one time, at the consummation of the ages, he has appeared in order to destroy sin though his own sacrifice.	for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.	Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27	And in the same manner as it has been appointed for men to die one time, and after this, to be judged,	And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,	Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,
28	so also Christ was offered, one time, in order to empty the sins of so many. He shall appear a second time without sin, for those who await him, unto salvation.	so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.	so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
