| [1]For the lawe, hauyng the shadow of good thynges to come, and not the very fashion of the thinges the selues, can neuer with those sacrifices whiche they offer yere by yere continually, make the commers therevnto perfect |
[1]FOR the law had in it a shadow of the good things to come, but was not the essence of the things themselves; hence although the same sacrifices were offered every year, they could not perfect those who offered them. |
| [2]For woulde not then those [sacrifices] haue ceassed to haue ben offred, because that the offerers once pourged, shoulde haue had no more conscience of sinnes |
[2]For if they had once been perfected, they would have ceased from their offerings; for, from henceforth their minds would not have driven them into the sins from which they had once been cleansed. |
| [3]Neuerthelesse, in those (sacrifices) is mention made of sinnes euery yere |
[3]But in those sacrifices they remembered their sins every year. |
| [4]For it is not possible that the blood of Bulles & of Goates shoulde take away sinnes |
[4]For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats could take away sins. |
| [5]Wherfore when he commeth into the worlde, he saith: Sacrifice and offring thou wouldest not haue, but a body hast thou ordeyned me |
[5]Therefore, when he entered into the world, he said: Sacrifices and offerings thou didst not desire, but a body thou hast prepared me: |
| [6]In burnt sacrifices & sinne (offerynges) thou hast had no pleasure |
[6]Burnt offering and sin offering thou has not required. |
| [7]Then sayde I, lo I come (In the begynnyng of the booke it is written of me) to do thy wyll O God |
[7]Then said I, Lo, I come, in the beginning of the books, it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O God. |
| [8]Aboue when he saith, that sacrifice, and offeryng, and burnt offeringes, and sinne [offerynges] thou wouldest not, neither haddest pleasure [therein] (which are offered by the lawe: |
[8]Above when he said: Sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and offerings for sins, thou wouldst not, the very ones which were offered according to the law: |
| [9]Then sayde he, lo I come, to do thy wyll, O God. He taketh away ye first to stablyshe the seconde |
[9]And after that he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. Thus he put an end to the first in order to establish the second. |
| [10]In ye which wyll we are made holy, euen by the offeryng of the body of Iesus Christe once for all |
[10]By this very will, we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. |
| [11]And euery priest standeth dayly ministryng, & offeryng oftentymes the same sacrifices, whiche can neuer take away sinnes |
[11]For every high priest appointed ministered daily, offering the same sacrifices, which had never been able to cleanse sins: |
| [12]But this man, after he hath offered one sacrifice for sinnes, is sit downe for euer on the ryght hande of God |
[12]But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down on the right hand of God for ever. |
| [13]From hencefoorth tarying tyl his foes be made his footstoole |
[13]From henceforth there he will remain until his enemies are placed as a foot-stool under his feet. |
| [14]For with one offeryng hath he made perfite for euer them that are sanctified |
[14]For by one offering he has perfected for ever those who are sanctified. |
| [15]And the holy ghost also beareth vs recorde: For after that he tolde before |
[15]The Holy Spirit is also a witness to us: for he had said before, |
| [16]This is the couenaunt that I wyll make vnto them after those dayes, (sayth the Lorde) geuyng my lawes in their heart, and in their myndes wyl I write them |
[16]This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts. |
| [17]And their sinnes and iniquities wyll I remember no more |
[17]And their iniquities and sins will I remember no more. |
| [18]And where remission of these thinges [is] there [is] no more offering for sinne |
[18]For where there is forgiveness of sins, there is no need for offering for sins. |
| [19]Hauyng therefore brethren, libertie to enter into holy [places] in the blood of Iesus |
[19]Having therefore, my brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, |
| [20]By the new and lyuing way, which he hath prepared for vs through the vayle, that is to say his flesshe |
[20]By a new and living way, which he has made new for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; |
| [21]And [seyng we haue] an hye priest ouer the house of God |
[21]And having a great high priest over the house of God: |
| [22]Let vs drawe nye with a true hearte, in assuraunce of fayth, sprinkeled in our heartes from an euyll conscience, and wasshed in body with pure water |
[22]Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled and cleansed of evil thought, and our bodies washed with pure water. |
| [23]Let vs holde the profession of the hope without waueryng, (for he is faythfull that promised: |
[23]Let us remain firm in the profession of our faith without wavering: for he who has promised us is faithful. |
| [24]And let vs consider one another to prouoke vnto loue and good workes |
[24]And let us consider one another to arouse love and good works: |
| [25]Not forsakyng the assemblyng of our selues together, as the maner of some [is] but exhortyng one (another) and so much the more, as ye see the day approchyng |
[25]Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is customary for some; but exhorting one another: and so much the more when you see that day approaching. |
| [26]For yf we sinne wyllyngly after that we haue receaued the knowledge of the trueth, there remayneth no more sacrifice for sinnes |
[26]For if any man sin willfully after he has received the knowledge of the truth, then there is no more sacrifice to be offered for sins, |
| [27]But a fearefull lokyng for of iudgement, and violent fire, whiche shall deuour the aduersaries |
[27]But he is ready for the fearful judgment and the fiery indignation which shall consume the adversaries. |
| [28]He that despiseth Moyses lawe, dyeth without mercie vnder two or thre witnesses |
[28]He who transgressed the law of Moses, on the word of two or three witnesses; died without mercy: |
| [29]Of howe muche sorer punyshement (suppose ye) shall he be worthy, whiche treadeth vnder foote the sonne of God? and counteth the blood of the couenaut wherein he was sanctified, an vnholye thyng, and doth despite to the spirite of grace |
[29]How much more punishment do you think he will receive who has trodden underfoot the Son of God, and has considered the blood of his covenant, through which he had been sanctified, as ordinary blood and has blasphemed the Spirit of Grace? |
| [30]For we knowe hym that hath sayde, vengeaunce [belongeth] vnto me, I wyl render saith the Lorde: And agayne, the Lorde shall iudge his people |
[30]For we know him who said, Vengeance is mine, and I will repay, saith the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people. |
| [31]It is a fearefull thyng to fall into the handes of the lyuyng God |
[31]It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. |
| [32]Call to remebraunce the former dayes, in the which after ye had receaued light ye endured a great fyght of aduersities |
[32]Remember, therefore, the former days, in which, after you received baptism, you endured a great fight of suffering. |
| [33]Partly whyle ye were made a gasing stocke, both by reproches & afflictions, and partly whyle ye became companions of them whiche were so tossed to & fro |
[33]By reproach and trouble, you were made an object of ridicule; and you have also become companions of those men who have also endured these things. |
| [34]For ye suffred also with my bondes, & toke in woorth the spoylyng of your goodes with gladnesse: knowyng in your selues how that ye haue in heauen a better and an enduryng substaunce |
[34]And you had pity on those who were prisoners, and you took the seizure of your property cheerfully, for you know in yourselves that you have a better and a more enduring possession in heaven. |
| [35]Cast not awaye therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of rewarde |
[35]Do not lose, therefore, the confidence that you have, for it has a great reward. |
| [36]For ye haue neede of pacience, that after ye haue done the wyll of God, ye myght receaue the promise |
[36]For you have need of patience in order that you may do the will of God and receive the promise. |
| [37]For yet a very litle whyle, and he that shall come, wyll come, and wyll not tary |
[37]For the time is all too short, and he who is to come will come, and will not delay. |
| [38]And the iuste shall lyue by fayth: And yf he withdrawe hym selfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in hym |
[38]But the righteous shall live by my faith: and if any draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. |
| [39]We are not of them that withdrawe our selues vnto perdition: but we parteyne vnto fayth, to the wynning of the soule |
[39]But we do not belong to those who draw back to perdition, but to the faith which restores our soul. |
