1The Law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near [ to worship ]. 1Σκιὰν γὰρ ἔχων ὁ νόμος τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν οὐκ αὐτὴν τὴν εἰκόνα τῶν πραγμάτων κατ’ ἐνιαυτὸν ταῖς αὐταῖς θυσίαις ἃς προσφέρουσιν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς οὐδέποτε δύναται τοὺς προσερχομένους τελειῶσαι
2[If it could], would not the offerings have ceased? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once [for all], [and] would no longer have felt the guilt of [their] sins. 2ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἂν ἐπαύσαντο προσφερόμεναι διὰ τὸ μηδεμίαν ἔχειν ἔτι συνείδησιν ἁμαρτιῶν τοὺς λατρεύοντας ἅπαξ κεκαθαρισμένους
3Instead, those [sacrifices] [are] an annual reminder of sins, 3Ἀλλ’ ἐν αὐταῖς ἀνάμνησις ἁμαρτιῶν κατ’ ἐνιαυτόν
4because [it is] impossible [for the] blood of bulls and of goats to take away sins. 4ἀδύνατον γὰρ αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων ἀφαιρεῖν ἁμαρτίας
5Therefore, when [Christ] came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for me. 5Διὸ εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον λέγει Θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν οὐκ ἠθέλησας Σῶμα δὲ κατηρτίσω μοι
6In burnt offerings and sin [offerings] You took no delight. 6Ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας Οὐκ εὐδόκησας
7Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in [the] scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’” 7Τότε εἶπον Ἰδοὺ ἥκω Ἐν κεφαλίδι βιβλίου γέγραπται περὶ ἐμοῦ Τοῦ ποιῆσαι ὁ Θεός τὸ θέλημά σου
8[In the passage ] above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin [offerings] You did not desire, nor did You delight in [them]” ([although] [they are] required by [the] Law). 8Ἀνώτερον λέγων ὅτι Θυσίας καὶ προσφορὰς καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ ἠθέλησας οὐδὲ εὐδόκησας αἵτινες κατὰ νόμον προσφέρονται
9Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second. 9τότε εἴρηκεν Ἰδοὺ ἥκω τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ θέλημά σου ἀναιρεῖ τὸ πρῶτον ἵνα τὸ δεύτερον στήσῃ
10[And] by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 10ἐν ᾧ θελήματι ἡγιασμένοι ἐσμὲν διὰ τῆς προσφορᾶς τοῦ σώματος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐφάπαξ
11Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 11Καὶ πᾶς μὲν ἱερεὺς ἕστηκεν καθ’ ἡμέραν λειτουργῶν καὶ τὰς αὐτὰς πολλάκις προσφέρων θυσίας αἵτινες οὐδέποτε δύνανται περιελεῖν ἁμαρτίας
12But [when] this [Priest] had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at [the] right hand of God. 12οὗτος δὲ μίαν ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν προσενέγκας θυσίαν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ Θεοῦ
13Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet, 13τὸ λοιπὸν ἐκδεχόμενος ἕως τεθῶσιν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ
14because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are sanctified. 14μιᾷ γὰρ προσφορᾷ τετελείωκεν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς τοὺς ἁγιαζομένους
15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us {about this}. [First] He says: 15Μαρτυρεῖ δὲ ἡμῖν καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον μετὰ γὰρ τὸ εἰρηκέναι
16“This [is] the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares [the] Lord. I will put My Laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.” 16Αὕτη ἡ διαθήκη ἣν διαθήσομαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς μετὰ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐκείνας λέγει Κύριος διδοὺς νόμους μου ἐπὶ καρδίας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν διάνοιαν αὐτῶν ἐπιγράψω αὐτούς
17[Then He adds]: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.” 17Καὶ Τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ μνησθήσομαι ἔτι
18And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin [is] no longer [ needed ]. 18Ὅπου δὲ ἄφεσις τούτων οὐκέτι προσφορὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας
19Therefore, brothers, [since] we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 19Ἔχοντες οὖν ἀδελφοί παρρησίαν εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τῶν ἁγίων ἐν τῷ αἵματι Ἰησοῦ
20by [the] new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body, 20ἣν ἐνεκαίνισεν ἡμῖν ὁδὸν πρόσφατον καὶ ζῶσαν διὰ τοῦ καταπετάσματος τοῦτ’ ἔστιν τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ
21and [since we have] a great High Priest over the house of God, 21καὶ ἱερέα μέγαν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ
22let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, {having} our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and [our] bodies washed with pure water. 22προσερχώμεθα μετὰ ἀληθινῆς καρδίας ἐν πληροφορίᾳ πίστεως ῥεραντισμένοι τὰς καρδίας ἀπὸ συνειδήσεως πονηρᾶς καὶ λελουσμένοι τὸ σῶμα ὕδατι καθαρῷ
23Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised [is] faithful. 23Κατέχωμεν τὴν ὁμολογίαν τῆς ἐλπίδος ἀκλινῆ πιστὸς γὰρ ὁ ἐπαγγειλάμενος
24And let us consider how to spur one another {on} to love and good deeds. 24καὶ κατανοῶμεν ἀλλήλους εἰς παροξυσμὸν ἀγάπης καὶ καλῶν ἔργων
25Let us not neglect meeting together, as some [have made a] habit, but let us encourage [one another], and all [the] more as you see the Day approaching. 25μὴ ἐγκαταλείποντες τὴν ἐπισυναγωγὴν ἑαυτῶν καθὼς ἔθος τισίν ἀλλὰ παρακαλοῦντες καὶ τοσούτῳ μᾶλλον ὅσῳ βλέπετε ἐγγίζουσαν τὴν ἡμέραν
26[If] we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains, 26Ἑκουσίως γὰρ ἁμαρτανόντων ἡμῶν μετὰ τὸ λαβεῖν τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν τῆς ἀληθείας οὐκέτι περὶ ἁμαρτιῶν ἀπολείπεται θυσία
27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and raging fire that will consume [all] adversaries. 27φοβερὰ δέ τις ἐκδοχὴ κρίσεως καὶ πυρὸς ζῆλος ἐσθίειν μέλλοντος τοὺς ὑπεναντίους
28Anyone who rejected [the] Law of Moses died without mercy on [the testimony of] two or three witnesses. 28ἀθετήσας τις νόμον Μωϋσέως χωρὶς οἰκτιρμῶν ἐπὶ δυσὶν ἢ τρισὶν μάρτυσιν ἀποθνήσκει
29How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished [who] has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 29πόσῳ δοκεῖτε χείρονος ἀξιωθήσεται τιμωρίας ὁ τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ καταπατήσας καὶ τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης κοινὸν ἡγησάμενος ἐν ᾧ ἡγιάσθη καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τῆς χάριτος ἐνυβρίσας
30For we know Him who said, “Vengeance [is] Mine; I will repay,” and again, “[The] Lord will judge His people.” 30Οἴδαμεν γὰρ τὸν εἰπόντα Ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω καὶ πάλιν Κρινεῖ Κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ
31[It is] a fearful thing to fall into [the] hands of [the] living God. 31φοβερὸν τὸ ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς χεῖρας Θεοῦ ζῶντος
32Remember the early days that you were in the light, when you endured a great conflict in the face of suffering. 32Ἀναμιμνῄσκεσθε δὲ τὰς πρότερον ἡμέρας ἐν αἷς φωτισθέντες πολλὴν ἄθλησιν ὑπεμείνατε παθημάτων
33Sometimes you were publicly exposed to ridicule and persecution; at other times you were partners with those who [were] so treated. 33τοῦτο μὲν ὀνειδισμοῖς τε καὶ θλίψεσιν θεατριζόμενοι τοῦτο δὲ κοινωνοὶ τῶν οὕτως ἀναστρεφομένων γενηθέντες
34You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you yourselves had a better and permanent possession. 34καὶ γὰρ τοῖς δεσμίοις συνεπαθήσατε καὶ τὴν ἁρπαγὴν τῶν ὑπαρχόντων ὑμῶν μετὰ χαρᾶς προσεδέξασθε γινώσκοντες ἔχειν ἑαυτοὺς κρείττονα* ὕπαρξιν καὶ μένουσαν
35So {do} not throw away your confidence; [it] holds a great reward. 35Μὴ ἀποβάλητε οὖν τὴν παρρησίαν ὑμῶν ἥτις ἔχει μεγάλην μισθαποδοσίαν
36You need to persevere, so that after you have done God’s will, you will receive what He has promised. 36ὑπομονῆς γὰρ ἔχετε χρείαν ἵνα τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ ποιήσαντες κομίσησθε τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν
37For, “In just a little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay. 37ἔτι γὰρ Μικρὸν ὅσον ὅσον ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἥξει καὶ οὐ χρονίσει
38But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he shrinks back, I {will take} no pleasure in him.” 38ὁ δὲ δίκαιός μου ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται καὶ ἐὰν ὑποστείληται οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν αὐτῷ
39But we are not of [those who] shrink back [and] are destroyed, but of [those who have] faith [and] preserve [their] souls. 39Ἡμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐσμὲν ὑποστολῆς εἰς ἀπώλειαν ἀλλὰ πίστεως εἰς περιποίησιν ψυχῆς
