* 更美之约的大祭司
* 更美之约的大祭司
§2
* 来8:1 我们所讲的事，其中第一要紧的，就是我们有这样的大祭司，已经坐在天上至大者宝座的右边，
§3
*Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
§4
* 来8:2 在圣所，就是真帐幕里，作执事；这帐幕是主所支的，不是人所支的。
§5
*A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
§6
* 来8:3 凡大祭司都是为献礼物和祭物设立的，所以这位大祭司也必须有所献的。
§7
*For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
§8
* 来8:4 他若在地上，必不得为祭司，因为已经有照律法献礼物的祭司。
§9
*For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
§10
* 来8:5 他们供奉的事本是天上事的形状和影像，正如摩西将要造帐幕的时候，蒙上帝警戒他，说：‘你要谨慎，作各样的物件都要照着在山上指示你的样式。’
§11
*Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
§12
* 来8:6 如今耶稣所得的职任是更美的，正如他作更美之约的中保；这约原是凭更美之应许立的。
§13
*But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
§14
* 来8:7 那前约若没有瑕疵，就无处寻求后约了。
§15
*For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
§16
* 来8:8 所以主指着他的百姓说（或作：所以主指前约的缺欠说）：日子将到，我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约，
§17
*For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
§18
* 来8:9 不像我拉着他们祖宗的手，领他们出埃及的时候，与他们所立的约。因为他们不恒心守我的约，我也不理他们。这是主说的。
§19
*Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
§20
* 来8:10 主又说：那些日子以后，我与以色列家所立的约乃是这样：我要将我的律法放在他们里面，写在他们心上；我要作他们的上帝；他们要作我的子民。
§21
*For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
§22
* 来8:11 他们不用各人教导自己的乡邻和自己的弟兄，说：你该认识主；因为他们从最小的到至大的，都必认识我。
§23
*And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
§24
* 来8:12 我要宽恕他们的不义，不再记念他们的罪愆。
§25
*For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
§26
* 来8:13 既说新约。就以前约为旧了；但那渐旧渐衰的，就必快归无有了。
§27
*In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
