Tyndale TYN
New International Version NIV
1 For the lawe which hath but the shadowe of good thynges to come and not the thynges in their awne fassion can never with ye sacryfises which they offer yere by yere continually make the comers thervnto parfayte.
1
The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
2 For wolde not then those sacrifises have ceased to have bene offered because that the offerers once pourged shuld have had no moare conscieces of sinnes.
2
Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.
3 Neverthelesse in those sacrifises is ther mencion made of synnes every yeare.
3
But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.
4 For it is vnpossible that the bloud of oxen and of gotes shuld take awaye synnes.
4
It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Wherfore when he commeth into the worlde he sayth: Sacrifice and offeringe thou woldest not have: but a bodie hast thou ordeyned me.
5
Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me;
6 In sacrifices and synne offerynges thou hast no lust.
6
with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased.
7 Then I sayde: Lo I come in the chefest of the boke it is written of me that I shuld doo thy will o god.
7
Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll— I have come to do your will, my God.’ ”
8 Above when he had sayed sacrifice and offerynge and burnt sacrifices and synne offerynges thou woldest not have nether hast alowed (which yet are offered by the lawe)
8
First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law.
9 and then sayde: Lo I come to do thy will o god: he taketh awaye the fyrst to stablisshe the latter.
9
Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified by the offeringe of the body of Iesu Christe once for all.
10
And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every prest is redy dayly ministrynge and ofte tymes offereth one maner of offerynge which can never take awaye synnes.
11
Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12 But this man after he had offered one sacrifyce for synnes sat him doune for ever on the right honde of god
12
But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
13 and from hence forth tarieth till his foes be made his fotestole.
13
and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.
14 For with one offerynge hath he made parfecte for ever them yt are sanctified.
14
For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
15 And ye holy goost also beareth vs recorde of this even when he tolde before:
15
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
16 This is the testament that I will make vnto them after those dayes sayth the lorde. I will put my lawes in their hertes and in their mynde I will write them
16
“This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”
17 and their synnes and iniquyties will I remember no moare.
17
Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”
18 And where remission of these thinges is there is no moare offerynge for synne.
18
And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
19 Seynge brethren that by the meanes of the bloud of Iesu we maye be bolde to enter into that holy place
19
Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
20 by the newe and livynge waye which he hath prepared for vs through the vayle that is to saye by his flesshe.
20
by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,
21 And seynge also that we have an hye prest which is ruler over ye housse of god
21
and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22 let vs drawe nye with a true herte in a full fayth sprynckeled in oure hertes from an evyll conscience and wesshed in oure bodies with pure water
22
let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
23 and let vs kepe the profession of oure hope with oute waveringe (for he is faythfull that promysed)
23
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
24 and let vs consyder one another to provoke vnto love and to good workes:
24
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,
25 and let vs not forsake the felishippe that we have amoge oure selves as the maner of some is: but let vs exhorte one another and that so moche the more because ye se that the daye draweth nye.
25
not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
