10:1
Σκιὰν γὰρ ἔχων ὁ νόμος τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν, οὐκ αὐτὴν τὴν εἰκόνα τῶν πραγμάτων, κατ’ ἐνιαυτὸν ταῖς αὐταῖς θυσίαις αἷς προσφέρουσιν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς οὐδέποτε δύναται τοὺς προσερχομένους τελειῶσαι·
Umbram enim habens lex futurorum bonorum, non ipsam imaginem rerum : per singulos annos, eisdem ipsis hostiis quas offerunt indesinenter, numquam potest accedentes perfectos facere :
እስመ ጽላሎታ ይእቲ ኦሪት ለእንተ ትመጽእ ሠናይት እስመ ኢኮነት ለሊሃ ወበእንተ ዝንቱ አመ ያበውኡ መሥዋዕተ ዘልፈ በኵሉ ዓመት ኢይክል ለሊሁ ግሙራ ፈጽሞ ለእለ ያበውእዎ።
For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
10:2
ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἂν ἐπαύσαντο προσφερόμεναι, διὰ τὸ μηδεμίαν ἔχειν ἔτι συνείδησιν ἁμαρτιῶν τοὺς λατρεύοντας ἅπαξ κεκαθαρισμένους;
alioquin cessassent offerri : ideo quod nullam haberent ultra conscientiam peccati, cultores semel mundati :
ወእመ አኮሰ እምአዕረፉ እምዘይሠውዑ እስመ ይሰሪ ሎሙ ኀጢአቶሙ ለእለ ይሠውዑ ወያነጽሖሙ በምዕር።
Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?
10:3
ἀλλ’ ἐν αὐταῖς ἀνάμνησις ἁμαρτιῶν κατ’ ἐνιαυτόν,
sed in ipsis commemoratio peccatorum per singulos annos fit.
አላ ዳእሙ ቦሙ ዘይገብሩ ተዝካረ ኀጢአት በበ ዓመት በውእቱ መሥዋዕት።
But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
10:4
ἀδύνατον γὰρ αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων ἀφαιρεῖν ἁμαρτίας.
Impossibile enim est sanguine taurorum et hircorum auferri peccata.
እስመ ኢይክል ደመ ላሕም ወጠሊ ይኅድግ ኀጢአተ።
For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
10:5
διὸ εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον λέγει, θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν οὐκ ἠθέλησας, σῶμα δὲ κατηρτίσω μοι·
Ideo ingrediens mundum dicit : Hostiam et oblationem noluisti : corpus autem aptasti mihi :
ወበእንተዝ አመ ይመጽእ ውስተ ዓለም ይቤ «መሥዋዕተ ወቍርባነ ኢፈቀድከ አላ አልበስከኒ ሥጋ።
Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.
10:6
ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ ηὐδόκησας·
holocautomata pro peccato non tibi placuerunt.
መሥዋዕተ ዘበእንተ ኀጢአት ኢሠመርከ።
You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
10:7
τότε εἶπον, ἰδοὺ ἥκω, ἐν κεφαλίδι βιβλίου γέγραπται περὶ ἐμοῦ, τοῦ ποιῆσαι, ὁ θεός, τὸ θέλημά σου.
Tunc dixi : Ecce venio : in capite libri scriptum est de me : Ut faciam, Deus, voluntatem tuam.
ውእተ ጊዜ እቤ ነየ መጻእኩ ውስተ ርእሰ መጽሐፍ ተጽሕፈ በእንቲኣየ ከመ እግበር ፈቃደከ መከርኩ አምላክየ።»
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’”
10:8
ἀνώτερον λέγων ὅτι θυσίας καὶ προσφορὰς καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ ἠθέλησας οὐδὲ ηὐδόκησας, αἵτινες κατὰ νόμον προσφέρονται,
Superius dicens : Quia hostias, et oblationes, et holocautomata pro peccato noluisti, nec placita sunt tibi, quae secundum legem offeruntur,
መልዕልቶ ይቤ መሥዋዕተ ወቍርባነ ኢፈቀድኩ ዘበእንተ ኀጢአት ኢሠመርኩ ዘይሠውዑ በሕገ ኦሪት ብሂሎ።
Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law),
10:9
τότε εἴρηκεν, ἰδοὺ ἥκω τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ θέλημά σου. ἀναιρεῖ τὸ πρῶτον ἵνα τὸ δεύτερον στήσῃ·
tunc dixi : Ecce venio, ut faciam, Deus, voluntatem tuam : aufert primum, ut sequens statuat.
ወእምዝ ይቤ ነየ መጻእኩ ከመ እግበር ፈቃደከ አምላኪየ ወዝ ቃል ይነሥት ቀዳማየ ከመ ያቅም ደኃራየ።
then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
10:10
ἐν ᾧ θελήματι ἡγιασμένοι ἐσμὲν διὰ τῆς προσφορᾶς τοῦ σώματος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐφάπαξ.
In qua voluntate sanctificati sumus per oblationem corporis Jesu Christi semel.
ከመ ንትቀደስ በሥምረቱ በቍርባነ ሥጋሁ ለኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ዘኮነ በምዕር።
by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
10:11
Καὶ πᾶς μὲν ἱερεὺς ἕστηκεν καθ’ ἡμέραν λειτουργῶν καὶ τὰς αὐτὰς πολλάκις προσφέρων θυσίας, αἵτινες οὐδέποτε δύνανται περιελεῖν ἁμαρτίας.
Et omnis quidem sacerdos praesto est quotidie ministrans, et easdem saepe offerens hostias, quae numquam possunt auferre peccata :
ወኵሉ ሊቀ ካህናት ይቀውም ኵሎ አሚረ ወይሠውዕ ኪያሃ ክመ መሥዋዕተ እንተ ለግሙራ ኢትክል አንጽሖ ኀጢአት።
Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
10:12
οὗτος δὲ μίαν ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν προσενέγκας θυσίαν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ,
hic autem unam pro peccatis offerens hostiam, in sempiternum sedet in dextera Dei,
ወውእቱሰ ምዕረ ሦዐ መሥዋዕተ እንተ ለዝሉፉ በእንተ ኀጢአትነ ወነበረ በየማነ እግዚአብሔር።
but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,
10:13
τὸ λοιπὸν ἐκδεχόμενος ἕως τεθῶσιν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ·
de cetero exspectans donec ponantur inimici ejus scabellum pedum ejus.
ወይጸንሕ እንከ እስከ ይገብኡ ጸላእቱ ታሕተ መከየደ እገሪሁ።
from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
10:14
μιᾷ γὰρ προσφορᾷ τετελείωκεν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς τοὺς ἁγιαζομένους.
Una enim oblatione, consummavit in sempiternum sanctificatos.
አሐተ መሥዋዕተ ገብረ እንተ ለግሙራ ለእለ ይትቄደሱ።
For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
10:15
μαρτυρεῖ δὲ ἡμῖν καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον· μετὰ γὰρ τὸ εἰρηκέναι,
Contestatur autem nos et Spiritus Sanctus. Postquam enim dixit :
ወሰማዕትነ መንፈስ ቅዱስ።
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
10:16
αὕτη 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,
Hoc autem testamentum, quod testabor ad illos post dies illos, dicit Dominus, dando leges meas in cordibus eorum, et in mentibus eorum superscribam eas :
እምድኅረ ይቤ ዛቲ ሥርዐት እንተ እሠርዕ ሎሙ እምድኅረ እማንቱ መዋዕል ይቤ እግዚአብሔር «እወዲ ሕግየ ውስተ ልቦሙ ወእጽሕፎ ውስተ ኅሊናሆሙ።»
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;” then he says,
10:17
καὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ μνησθήσομαι ἔτι.
et peccatorum, et iniquitatum eorum jam non recordabor amplius.
«ወኢይዜከር እንከ ኀጢአቶሙ ወአበሳሆሙ።»
“I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”
10:18
ὅπου δὲ ἄφεσις τούτων, οὐκέτι προσφορὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας.
Ubi autem horum remissio : jam non est oblatio pro peccato.
ወእምከመሰ ይትኀደግ ከመዝ አልቦ እንከ መሥዋዕት በእንተ ኀጢአት።
Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
10:19
Ἔχοντες οὖν, ἀδελφοί, παρρησίαν εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τῶν ἁγίων ἐν τῷ αἵματι Ἰησοῦ,
Habentes itaque, fratres, fiduciam in introitu sanctorum in sanguine Christi,
ብነ አኀዊነ ሞገስ ውስተ በኣትነ ቤተ መቅደስ በደሙ ለኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ።
Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
10:20
ἣν ἐνεκαίνισεν ἡμῖν ὁδὸν πρόσφατον καὶ ζῶσαν διὰ τοῦ καταπετάσματος, τοῦτ’ ἔστιν τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ,
quam initiavit nobis viam novam, et viventem per velamen, id est, carnem suam,
እስመ ሐደሰ ለነ ፍኖተ ጽድቅ ወሕይወት ግብተ በመንጦላዕተ ሥጋሁ።
by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
10:21
καὶ ἱερέα μέγαν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ,
et sacerdotem magnum super domum Dei :
ካህን ዐቢይ ለቤተ እግዚአብሔር።
and having a great priest over God’s house,
10:22
προσερχώμεθα μετὰ ἀληθινῆς καρδίας ἐν πληροφορίᾳ πίστεως, ῥεραντισμένοι τὰς καρδίας ἀπὸ συνειδήσεως πονηρᾶς
accedamus cum vero corde in plenitudine fidei, aspersi corda a conscientia mala, et abluti corpus aqua munda,
ንቅረብ እንከ በልበ ጽድቅ ወበሃይማኖት ፍጹም ምእመን እንዘ ንጹሕ ልብነ ወንጹሓን ንሕነ እምግባረ እከይ ወኅፁብ ሥጋነ በማይ ንጹሕ።
let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water,
10:23
καὶ λελουσμένοι τὸ σῶμα ὕδατι καθαρῷ, κατέχωμεν τὴν ὁμολογίαν τῆς ἐλπίδος ἀκλινῆ, πιστὸς γὰρ ὁ ἐπαγγειλάμενος,
teneamus spei nostrae confessionem indeclinabilem (fidelis enim est qui repromisit),
ናጽንዕ እንከ አሚነ ወተስፋነ ዘኢያንቀለቅል፥ ዘእንበለ ነውር እስመ ጻድቅ ዘአሰፈወነ።
let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
10:24
καὶ κατανοῶμεν ἀλλήλους εἰς παροξυσμὸν ἀγάπης καὶ καλῶν ἔργων,
et consideremus invicem in provocationem caritatis, et bonorum operum :
ወንትቀሐው ምስለ ቢጽነ በተፋቅሮ ወበምግባረ ሠናይ።
Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,
10:25
μὴ ἐγκαταλείποντες τὴν ἐπισυναγωγὴν ἑαυτῶν, καθὼς ἔθος τισίν, ἀλλὰ παρακαλοῦντες, καὶ τοσούτῳ μᾶλλον ὅσῳ βλέπετε ἐγγίζουσαν τὴν ἡμέραν.
non deserentes collectionem nostram, sicut consuetudinis est quibusdam, sed consolantes, et tanto magis quanto videritis appropinquantem diem.
ወኢንኅድግ ማኅበረነ ዘከመ ይለምዱ ካልኣን ዳእሙ ንትገሠጽ እስመ ንሬኢ ዘከመ ትቀርብ ዕለት።
not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
10:26
Ἑκουσίως γὰρ ἁμαρτανόντων ἡμῶν μετὰ τὸ λαβεῖν τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν τῆς ἀληθείας, οὐκέτι περὶ ἁμαρτιῶν ἀπολείπεται θυσία,
Voluntarie enim peccantibus nobis post acceptam notitiam veritatis, jam non relinquitur pro peccatis hostia,
ወለእመ በግብር ንኤብስ እምድኅረ አእመርናሃ ለጽድቅ አልቦ እንከ መሥዋዕት በእንተ ኀጢአት።
For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
10:27
φοβερὰ δέ τις ἐκδοχὴ κρίσεως καὶ πυρὸς ζῆλος ἐσθίειν μέλλοντος τοὺς ὑπεναντίους.
terribilis autem quaedam exspectatio judicii, et ignis aemulatio, quae consumptura est adversarios.
አላ ጽኑሕ ግሩም ደይን ወእሳት ዘቅንአት ዘይበልዖሙ ለከሓድያን።
but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
10:28
ἀθετήσας τις νόμον Μωϋσέως χωρὶς οἰκτιρμῶν ἐπὶ δυσὶν ἢ τρισὶν μάρτυσιν ἀποθνῄσκει·
Irritam quis faciens legem Moysi, sine ulla miseratione duobus vel tribus testibus moritur :
ወለእመ ቦ ዘስሕተ እምኦሪተ ሙሴ እምከመ ክልኤቱ ወእመ አኮ ሠለስቱ ሰማዕት ዘለፍዎ ይመውት ወኢይምሕርዎ።
A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
10:29
πόσῳ 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;
quanto magis putatis deteriora mereri supplicia qui Filium Dei conculcaverit, et sanguinem testamenti pollutum duxerit, in quo sanctificatus est, et spiritui gratiae contumeliam fecerit ?
እፎ እንከ ፈድፋደ ይደልዎ ይትኰነን ዘተካየዶ ለወልደ እግዚአብሔር ወአርኰሰ ደመ ሥርዐት ዘቦቱ ተቀደሰ ከመ ደመ ኵሉ ሰብእ ወዘጸአለ መንፈሰ ጸጋሁ።
How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
10:30
οἴδαμεν γὰρ τὸν εἰπόντα, ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις, ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω· καὶ πάλιν, κρινεῖ κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
Scimus enim qui dixit : Mihi vindicta, et ego retribuam. Et iterum : Quia judicabit Dominus populum suum.
ነአምሮ ለዘይቤ «አነ እትቤቀል ወአነ እትፈደይ ይቤ እግዚአብሔር» ወካዕበ ይቤ «እስመ ይኴንን እግዚአብሔር ሕዝቦ።»
For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
10:31
φοβερὸν τὸ ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς χεῖρας θεοῦ ζῶντος.
Horrendum est incidere in manus Dei viventis.
ወጥቀ ግሩም ወዲቅ ውስተ እደ እግዚአብሔር ሕያው።
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
10:32
Ἀναμιμνῄσκεσθε δὲ τὰς πρότερον ἡμέρας, ἐν αἷς φωτισθέντες πολλὴν ἄθλησιν ὑπεμείνατε παθημάτων,
Rememoramini autem pristinos dies, in quibus illuminati, magnum certamen sustinuistis passionum :
ተዘከሩ መዋዕለ ዘቀዲሙ ዘአመ አጥመቁክሙ ዘከመ ተዐገሥክሙ ብዙኀ ሕማመ።
But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:
10:33
τοῦτο μὲν ὀνειδισμοῖς τε καὶ θλίψεσιν θεατριζόμενοι, τοῦτο δὲ κοινωνοὶ τῶν οὕτως ἀναστρεφομένων γενηθέντες·
et in altero quidem opprobriis et tribulationibus spectaculum facti : in altero autem socii taliter conversantium effecti.
ወተጽእልክሙ ወሣቀዩክሙ ወተሣለቁ ላዕሌክሙ ወቦ ዘተሳተፍክምዎሙ ምስለ እለ ከመዝ ኮኑ።
partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
10:34
καὶ γὰρ τοῖς δεσμίοις συνεπαθήσατε, καὶ τὴν ἁρπαγὴν τῶν ὑπαρχόντων ὑμῶν μετὰ χαρᾶς προσεδέξασθε, γινώσκοντες ἔχειν ἑαυτοὺς κρείσσονα ὕπαρξιν καὶ μένουσαν.
Nam et vinctis compassi estis, et rapinam bonorum vestrorum cum gaudio suscepistis, cognoscentes vos habere meliorem et manentem substantiam.
ወኀበርክሙ ሕማመ ምስሌየ በመዋቅሕትየ ወበተበርብሮ ንዋይክሙ በትፍሥሕት ዘተወከፍክሙ እስመ ተአምሩ ከመ ብክሙ ንዋይ ዘይኄይስ ዘይነብር ለዓለም በሰማያት።
For you both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.
10:35
μὴ ἀποβάλητε οὖν τὴν παρρησίαν ὑμῶν, ἥτις ἔχει μεγάλην μισθαποδοσίαν,
Nolite itaque amittere confidentiam vestram, quae magnam habet remunerationem.
ኢትግድፉ እንከ ሞገሰክሙ እንተ ባቲ ትረክቡ ብዙኀ ዕሴተክሙ ዐቢየ።
Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
10:36
ὑπομονῆς γὰρ ἔχετε χρείαν ἵνα τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ ποιήσαντες κομίσησθε τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν.
Patientia enim vobis necessaria est : ut voluntatem Dei facientes, reportetis promissionem.
ወባሕቱ ትዕግሥተ ትፈቅዱ ከመ ገቢረክሙ ፈቃደ እግዚአብሔር ትርከቡ ተስፋክሙ።
For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
10:37
ἔτι γὰρ μικρὸν ὅσον ὅσον, ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἥξει καὶ οὐ χρονίσει·
Adhuc enim modicum aliquantulum, qui venturus est, veniet, et non tardabit.
እስመ ዓዲ ኅዳጥ መዋዕል ወይበጽሕ ዘይመጽእ ወኢይጐነዲ።
“In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.
10:38
ὁ δὲ δίκαιός μου ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται, καὶ ἐὰν ὑποστείληται, οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν αὐτῷ.
Justus autem meus ex fide vivit : quod si subtraxerit se, non placebit animae meae.
ወጻድቅሰ በአሚን የሐዩ ወእመሰ ተመይጠ ኢትሠምሮ ነፍስየ።
But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”
10:39
ἡμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐσμὲν ὑποστολῆς εἰς ἀπώλειαν, ἀλλὰ πίστεως εἰς περιποίησιν ψυχῆς.
Nos autem non sumus subtractionis filii in perditionem, sed fidei in acquisitionem animae.
ንሕነሰ ኢይደልወነ ንትመየጥ ድኅሬነ ለሕርትምና ዘእንበለ ለሃይማኖት እንተ ይእቲ ሕይወተ ነፍስነ።
But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
