Etsali olya li lya dhikwa ngeyi moshinyanga shoka hashi thikilwa nosha li hashi ithanwa Ehala Eyapuki. 3 Konima yetopolitho etiyali okwa li ku na oshinyanga shoka hashi ithanwa Uuyapukilela. 4 Moshinyanga shika oshitiyali omwa li oshiyambelo shoshingoli shokufikila iitsinino, noshiketha shehangano shi na oshisha shoshingoli koombinga adhihe. Moshiketha shehangano omwa li mu na oshuma shoshingoli shi na omanna, nondhimbo yaAron ya li ya tutuma oonyapi oontalala, niipelende iyali yomamanya, moka mwa li mwa nyolelwa oohapu dhompango. 5 Kombanda yoshiketha okwa li ku na aakerubi ye na eadhimo, taa holola okukalapo kwaKalunga. Omawawa gawo oga li ga siikile ehala mpoka oondjo hadhi dhimwa po. Ihe ethimbo ndika halyo lyokufatulula iinima ayihe nawa. 6 Iinima mbika ayihe sho ya pwa okulongekidhwa, aayambi oya kala haa yi esiku kehe muuyapuki okulonga iilonga yuuyambi. 7 Ihe muuyapukielela ohamu yi omuyambi omukuluntu awike lumwe aluke momumvo. Oye oha yi mo nombinzi, e yi yambele Kalunga omolwoondjo dhe mwene nomolwoondjo ndhoka aantu ye dhi ninga mokwaashiwo. 8 Momalongekidho ngaka agehe Ombepo Ondjapuki otu ulukile lela aantu kutya ompito yokuya muuyapukielela itayi vulu okweeguluka, manga etsali lyotango li li po natango. 9 Ndika olyo efano tali ulike ethimbo lyongashingeyi. Shika otashi ti, omagano nomayambo giinamwenyo ngoka haga yambelwa Kalunga, itaga vulu okugundjilika omwenyo gwaangoka ta hedha kuKalunga. 10 Oge na sha owala nokulya nokunwa nomayelitho gi ili nogi ili gopalongelokalunga. Ogo agehe omautho gokombanda ge li po ashike okathimbo, sigo ethimbo ndyoka Kalunga ta ka shitulula iinima ayihe.
11 Ihe Kristus, omuyambi omukuluntu, okwe ya noku na uuwanawa auhe wiinima mbika tu wete. Etsali moka ta yakula, oli na esimano enene nolya gwana, kali shi oshinima shomeshito ndika. 12 Ano Kristus sho a pitile metsali, okwa yi lumwe aluke muuyapukielela. Ina ya mo okuyamba nombinzi yiikombo noyoontana, ihe okwa yi mo nombinzi ye mwene nokwe tu longele ekulilo lyaaluhe. 13 Ombinzi yiikombo noyoontsezi ohayi shashaminwa aantu mboka ya yono, nosho wo omutoko gwoontana ohagu gundwa kombanda yawo, notayi ya yelitha koonyata dhawo. 14 Ano unene ombinzi yaKristus otayi yelitha eiyuvo lyetu kiilonga iiwinayi, opo tu longele Kalunga omunamwenyo. Oshoka Kristus okwi igandja ye mwene kuKalunga koonkondo dhOmbepo yaaluhe, a ninge eyambo lya gwana lya pwa.
15 Osho ngeyi Kristus okwa longekidha ehangano epe, opo mboka yi ithanwa kuKalunga, ya vule okutaamba omayambeko gaaluhe ngoka Kalunga e ga uvaneka. Shika otashi vulika, oshoka eso lye olya mangulula aantu komayono gawo, manga ya li mehangano lyotango.
16 Mpoka pu na euvaneko lyuuthiga, otali kolekwa keso lyomuuvaneki. 17 Oshoka euvaneko lyuuthiga itali kwatha sha, manga omuuvaneki e na omwenyo, ihe otali longo owala ngele a si. 18 Onkee ano nehangano lyotango wo olya kolekwa ashike nokulongitha ombinzi. 19 Tango Moses okwa lombwele aantu iipango ayihe, ngaashi yi li membo lyompango. Opo ihe okwa kutha ombinzi yoontana noyiikombo nomeya e ta shashamine noshisopi nomafufu omatiligane embo lyompango nosho wo aantu ayehe. 20 Okwa ti: “Ombinzi ndjika otayi koleke ehangano ndyoka Kalunga e mu lombwele, mu vulike kulyo.” 21 Pamukalo nguka Moses okwa shashamine wo ombinzi kombanda yetsali nokiinima ayihe mbyoka hayi longithwa melongelokalunga. 22 Eeno, konyala ayihe yi yelithwe pampango kombinzi. Noondjo wo ohadhi dhimwa po owala, uuna pwa tika ombinzi.
Eyambo lyaKristus otali kutha po oondjo
23 Iinima mbika yokombanda yevi oyo efano lyaambiyaka yomegulu, onkee oyi na okuyelithwa pamukalo nguka. Ihe iinima yomegulu otayi yelithwa nomayambo ge vule ngaka. 24 Oshoka Kristus ina ya muuyapuki wa tungwa kaantu, mboka u li efano lyuuyapuki wo wene. Oye okwa yi megulu lyolyene, moka te tu popile koshipala shaKalunga. 25 Omuyambimukuluntu gwopaJuda oha yi omumvo kehe muuyapukielela nombinzi yiinamwenyo. Ihe Kristus ini igandja ye mwene olwindji. 26 Oshoka ando osho sha li ngawo, nena ando Kristus okwa li e na okuhepekwa olwindji okuza keshito lyuuyuni. Ihe okwa holoka lumwe aluke, pehulilo lyomathimbo, e ti igandja ye mwene, opo a kuthe po oondjo sigo aluhe. 27 Aantu ayehe oye na okusa lumwe aluke, e taku ya ihe epangulo lyaKalunga. 28 Pamukalo nguka Kristus okwa gandjwa wo, a ninge eyambo lumwe aluke, opo a kuthe po oondjo dhaantu. Oye ota ka holoka olutiyali, hakukutha po oondjo, ihe okuhupitha mboka ye mu tegelela.
Earthly and Heavenly Worship
1 The first covenant had rules for worship and a place made for worship as well. 2 A tent was put up, the outer one, which was called the Holy Place. In it were the lampstand and the table with the bread offered to God. 3 Behind the second curtain was the tent called the Most Holy Place. 4 In it were the gold altar for the burning of incense and the Covenant Box all covered with gold and containing the gold jar with the manna in it, Aaron's stick that had sprouted leaves, and the two stone tablets with the commandments written on them. 5 Above the Box were the winged creatures representing God's presence, with their wings spread over the place where sins were forgiven. But now is not the time to explain everything in detail.
6 This is how those things have been arranged. The priests go into the outer tent every day to perform their duties, 7 but only the high priest goes into the inner tent, and he does so only once a year. He takes with him blood which he offers to God on behalf of himself and for the sins which the people have committed without knowing they were sinning. 8 The Holy Spirit clearly teaches from all these arrangements that the way into the Most Holy Place has not yet been opened as long as the outer tent still stands. 9 This is a symbol which points to the present time. It means that the offerings and animal sacrifices presented to God cannot make the worshiper's heart perfect, 10 since they have to do only with food, drink, and various purification ceremonies. These are all outward rules, which apply only until the time when God will establish the new order.
11 But Christ has already come as the High Priest of the good things that are already here. The tent in which he serves is greater and more perfect; it is not a tent made by human hands, that is, it is not a part of this created world. 12 When Christ went through the tent and entered once and for all into the Most Holy Place, he did not take the blood of goats and bulls to offer as a sacrifice; rather, he took his own blood and obtained eternal salvation for us. 13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a burnt calf are sprinkled on the people who are ritually unclean, and this purifies them by taking away their ritual impurity. 14 Since this is true, how much more is accomplished by the blood of Christ! Through the eternal Spirit he offered himself as a perfect sacrifice to God. His blood will purify our consciences from useless rituals, so that we may serve the living God.
15 For this reason Christ is the one who arranges a new covenant, so that those who have been called by God may receive the eternal blessings that God has promised. This can be done because there has been a death which sets people free from the wrongs they did while the first covenant was in effect.
16 In the case of a will it is necessary to prove that the person who made it has died, 17 for a will means nothing while the person who made it is alive; it goes into effect only after his death. 18 That is why even the first covenant went into effect only with the use of blood. 19 First, Moses proclaimed to the people all the commandments as set forth in the Law. Then he took the blood of bulls and goats, mixed it with water, and sprinkled it on the book of the Law and all the people, using a sprig of hyssop and some red wool. 20 He said, “This is the blood which seals the covenant that God has commanded you to obey.” 21 In the same way Moses also sprinkled the blood on the Sacred Tent and over all the things used in worship. 22 Indeed, according to the Law almost everything is purified by blood, and sins are forgiven only if blood is poured out.
Christ's Sacrifice Takes Away Sins
23 Those things, which are copies of the heavenly originals, had to be purified in that way. But the heavenly things themselves require much better sacrifices. 24 For Christ did not go into a Holy Place made by human hands, which was a copy of the real one. He went into heaven itself, where he now appears on our behalf in the presence of God. 25 The Jewish high priest goes into the Most Holy Place every year with the blood of an animal. But Christ did not go in to offer himself many times, 26 for then he would have had to suffer many times ever since the creation of the world. Instead, now when all ages of time are nearing the end, he has appeared once and for all, to remove sin through the sacrifice of himself. 27 Everyone must die once, and after that be judged by God. 28 In the same manner Christ also was offered in sacrifice once to take away the sins of many. He will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are waiting for him.
