Na Just Shadow of Wetin Dey Come
The sacrifice wey dem dey do every year na to remind people of sin every year, e no ever remove am. One offering end that one, and the curtain don turn road to enter. So the appeal: draw near, hold tight, dey gather together, no throw your confidence away. E warn strong-strong against person wey dey sin on purpose.
10 1Di law na just shadow of di better tins wey dey come, e no be di true form of dem real tins, so, by di same sacrifice wey dem dey offer year after year wey no dey end, e no fit ever make di people wey dey draw near reach perfect. 2If no be so, dem for don stop to offer am, abi no be so? Because di people wey dey worship, once dem don clean dem, dem no go get mind of sin again. 3But for dis sacrifice dem, e get how e dey remind dem of sin every year. 4Because e impossible for di blood of bull and goat to carry sin comot.
5Naim make, wen Christ come inside di world, e talk say: “Sacrifice and offering no be wetin you want, but body na wetin you prepare for me; a a v5 Dis words from Psalm 40 na for Jesus mout dem put am as e dey come inside di world — di Pikin dey enter body wey dem don prepare to do di will of our Papa.
6“for burnt offering and sin offering you no take pleasure at all. 7Naim I talk say, ‘Look, I don come—for di scroll of di book dem write about me—to do your will, my Papa.’” b b v7 Wen Jesus quote Psalm 40 to talk about how e come inside di world, na di Papa e dey talk to — dis na di Pikin im own words to di One wey send am.
8For up e talk say, “Sacrifice, offering, burnt offering, and sin offering, no be wetin you want or take joy for”—even doh di law require dem, 9naim e talk say, “Look, I don come to do your will.” E dey carry di first one comot make e fit set di second one on ground.
10Na by dis will, dem don make us holy through di offering of di body of Jesus Christ, once for all.
11Every priest dey stand every day, dey serve and dey offer di same sacrifice again and again wey no fit ever carry sin comot. 12But e offer one sacrifice for sin forever, naim e sidon for di right hand of our Papa, 13e dey wait from dat time until dem make im enemies turn stool wey e go put im leg on top. 14Because by one offering e don make di people wey dem dey make holy reach perfect for all time. 15And di Holy Spirit sef dey bear witness give us; because after e don talk say,
16“Dis na di Covenant wey I go make with dem after dem days, na so our Papa talk: I go put my laws for dem heart, and write dem for dem mind.”
17Naim e add say, “And dem sin and dem lawless work, I no go remember dem again.”
18Now wia dem don forgive dis tins, offering for sin no dey again.
Confidence to Come Back Home
19So, my brothers and sisters, since we get confidence to enter di holy places by di blood of Jesus, 20one new, living way wey e open for us through di curtain—im flesh, c c v20 Di curtain bin lock di most holy room for di Temple; di flesh of Jesus na di new curtain, wey dem tear open make we fit waka straight enter. 21and since we get one great priest wey dey over di house of our Papa, 22make we draw near with true-true heart, wey faith don make us sure well well, our heart wey dem sprinkle clean from guilty conscience, and our body wey dem wash with clean water. 23Make we hold di hope wey we dey confess tight tight, wey nutin fit shake, because di One wey promise dey faithful. 24And make we think how we go dey push each other on to love and good work, 25make we no dey lef to gada togeda, as some people don make am dem habit, but make we dey encourage each other—even more as you dey see di Day dey come near.
26Because if we continue to dey sin on purpose after we don receive di knowledge of di truth, sacrifice for sin no dey remain again, 27but na only terrible fear of judgment and fire wey dey burn well well wey go swallow di enemies. 28Anybody wey reject Moses im law dey die without mercy on top di word of two or three witness. 29How much worse punishment, you think say, di person deserve wey trample di Pikin of our Papa for ground, wey treat di blood of di Covenant wey make am holy like say e no holy, and insult di Spirit of grace?
30Because we know di One wey talk say, “Justice na my own; I go pay back,” and again, “Our Papa go judge im people.”
31Na terrible tin to fall inside di hand of di living Papa. d d v31 Our Papa na di living God wey im hand hold fierce love and justice wey person no fit run comot from — e dey truly fearful to fall inside am after you don reject im Pikin and insult im Spirit.
32Remember di early days, wen after dem don open your eye you endure hard struggle with suffering, 33sometime dem dey shame you for public with insult and suffering, sometime you dey stand with di people wey dem dey treat like dat. 34Because you suffer with di prisoners and with joy you accept as dem seize your property, because you know say una yourself get better possession wey go last. 35So no throway your confidence; e carry great reward. 36You need endurance, so that after you don do di will of our Papa, you go fit receive di promise.
37Because still small time “in one very small while, di One wey dey come go come and e no go delay; 38but my correct-and-holy person go live by faith, and if e draw back, my soul no dey take pleasure for am.”
39But we no belong to di people wey dey draw back go inside destruction, but to di people wey get faith and dey save dem soul.
