Di Sanctuary of di First Covenant
Dem waka round the old tent, im rooms and how dem dey enter once every year with blood, to set up the difference: those gifts no fit clean person conscience. Christ enter once with im own blood. As people dey die once and then face judgment, dem offer am once for plenty people.
9 1Now sef di first Covenant get rules for worship and one sanctuary wey dey for earth. 2Dem set up one tent—di first one—wey get di lampstand, di table, and di bread of di Presence; dem dey call am di Holy Place. 3Behind di second curtain na one tent wey dem dey call di Holy of Holies. 4E get di gold incense altar and di ark of di Covenant wey gold cover finish for evriwia, wey hold one gold jar of manna, Aaron im staff wey sprout, and di Covenant tablets. 5For im top, di cherubim of glory spread dia shadow ova di mercy seat—but we no fit yarn all dis tins now.
6As dem arrange evritin like dis, di priests dey enta di first tent evritime, dey do dia sacred work. 7Na only di high priest dey enta di second tent, once for a year, and e no dey enta empty—e must carry blood, wey e dey offer for imsef and for di sins wey di people do wey dem no plan. a a v7 Di high priest dey enta di innermost room only one day evri year — di Day of Atonement — to make tins correct between di people and God. 8Wit dis, di Holy Spirit dey show sey di way go enta di holy places neva open as long as di first tent still dey stand. 9Dis one na symbol for di time wey we dey now. Following dis arrangement, dem dey offer gifts and sacrifices wey no fit make di conscience of di one wey dey worship perfect, 10e just concern food, drink, and different-different washing—na body rules wey dem put till di time wey tins go change.
Christ, di Greater High Priest
11But Christ come as high priest of di good tins wey don come, through di greater and more perfect tent wey hand no build, wey mean sey e no be part of dis creation. 12E enta di sanctuary once for all, no be wit di blood of goats and calves but wit im own blood, and e get redemption wey no dey end. 13For if di blood of goats and bulls, and di ashes of one heifer wey dem sprinkle ontop di people wey no clean, dey make dem holy so dia body go clean, 14how much more di blood of Christ, im wey offer imsef through di eternal Spirit, widout any blemish, to our Papa, go clean our conscience comot from dead works so we go fit serve Papa wey dey live? b b v14 Christ im atonement na di work of all three Persons — Jesus dey offer imsef, our Papa dey receive di offering, and di eternal Spirit dey make di offering work. Di cross no be Papa against di Pikin but our Papa, Pikin, and Holy Spirit dey work together to rescue us. 15Na dis reason make e be di mediator of one new Covenant: one death don redeem people comot from di wrong tins wey dem do under di first Covenant, so dat di ones wey dem call go receive di inheritance wey no dey end wey dem promise. 16For wia will dey involved, dem must confirm sey di one wey make am don die. c c v16 Na di same word dey cover both 'Covenant' and 'will/testament'; for verse 16–17 di writer dey use di will meaning — one will no dey work until di person die. 17For one will dey valid only ova di dead, because e no get power as long as di one wey make am still dey alive. 18Na why even di first Covenant no start widout blood. 19Afta Moses give all di people evri command of di law, e carry di blood of calves and goats, wit water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and e sprinkle am ontop di scroll itsef and ontop all di people, 20e talk sey, “Dis na di blood of di Covenant wey our Papa command for una.”
21Di same way, e sprinkle blood ontop di tent and all di vessels wey dem dey use for worship. 22For true, di law dey purify almost evritin wit blood; and if blood no pour, forgiveness no dey.
23So di copies of heavenly tins suppose clean wit dis kind rites, but di heavenly tins demsef wit sacrifices wey beta pass dis ones. 24For Christ no enta holy places wey man make, wey na copy of di true ones, but e enta heaven itsef, so e go appear now bifor our Papa for us. 25No be to offer imsef again and again, like how di high priest dey enta di holy places evri year wit blood wey no be im own. 26If na so, Christ for suffer plenty times since di time wey world start. But instead, e don appear once, for di climax of di ages, to comot sin by offering imsef as sacrifice. 27And just as e dey set sey people go die once, and afta dat na judgment, 28so Christ, wey dem offer once to carry di sins of plenty people, go appear di second time—no be for sin, but to bring salvation to di ones wey dey wait for am wit strong mind.
