Epistola ad Hebraeos

Umbram enim habens lex futurorum bonorum, non ipsam imaginem rerum: per singulos annos, eisdem ipsis hostiis quas offerunt indesinenter, numquam potest accedentes perfectos facere:

For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, by the selfsame sacrifices which they offer continually every year, can never make the comers thereunto perfect.

Umbra nam habente lege es bono, non ipso imagine de res: per singulo annos, idem ipso hostias que offer indesinenter, nunquam pote accede perfecto facere:

alioquin cessassent offerri: ideo quod nullam haberent ultra conscientiam peccati, cultores semel mundati:

For then they would have ceased to be offered: because the worshippers once cleansed should have no conscience of sin any longer.

Alioqui(n) cessa offer: ideo quod nullo habe ultra conscientia de peccato, cultores semel munda:

sed in ipsis commemoratio peccatorum per singulos annos fit.

But in them there is made a commemoration of sins every year:

Sed in ipso commemoratione de peccatos per singulo annos fi.

Impossibile enim est sanguine taurorum et hircorum auferri peccata.

For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sin should be taken away.

Impossibile nam es sanguine de tauros et de hircos aufer peccatos.

Ideo ingrediens mundum dicit: Hostiam et oblationem noluisti: corpus autem aptasti mihi:

Wherefore, when he cometh into the world he saith: Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me.

Ideo ingredior mundo dic: hostia et oblatione ne vol: corpore autem apta ad me:

holocautomata pro peccato non tibi placuerunt.

Holocausts for sin did not please thee.

Holocauta pro peccato non ad te place.

Tunc dixi: Ecce venio: in capite libri scriptum est de me: Ut faciam, Deus, voluntatem tuam.

Then said I: Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written of me: that I should do thy will, O God.

Tunc dic: ecce veni: in capite de libro scripto es de me: ut Deo, fac, voluntate tuo.

Superius dicens: Quia hostias, et oblationes, et holocautomata pro peccato noluisti, nec placita sunt tibi, quæ secundum legem offeruntur,

In saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are offered according to the law.

Superius dicente: quia hostias, et oblationes, et holocauta pro peccato ne vol, nec place es ad te, que secundo lege offer,

tunc dixi: Ecce venio, ut faciam, Deus, voluntatem tuam: aufert primum, ut sequens statuat.

Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: He taketh away the first, that he may establish that which followeth.

Tunc dic: ecce veni, ut Deo, fac, voluntate tuo: aufer primo, ut sequente statue.

In qua voluntate sanctificati sumus per oblationem corporis Jesu Christi semel.

In the which will, we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once.

In quo voluntate sanctifica es per oblatione de corpore de Iesu de Christo semel.

Et omnis quidem sacerdos præsto est quotidie ministrans, et easdem sæpe offerens hostias, quæ numquam possunt auferre peccata:

And every priest indeed standeth daily ministering and often offering the same sacrifices which can never take away sins.

Et omni quidem sacerdote praesta es quotidie ministra, et idem saepe offer hostias, que nunquam pote aufer peccatos:

hic autem unam pro peccatis offerens hostiam, in sempiternum sedet in dextera Dei,

But this man, offering one sacrifice for sins, for ever sitteth on the right hand of God,

Hoc autem uno pro peccatos offer hostia, in sempiterno sede in dextera de Deo,

de cetero exspectans donec ponantur inimici ejus scabellum pedum ejus.

From henceforth expecting until his enemies be made his footstool.

De cetero expecta usque que inimicos de illo pone scabello de pedes de illo.

Una enim oblatione, consummavit in sempiternum sanctificatos.

For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Uno nam oblatione, consumma in sempiterno sanctifica.

Contestatur autem nos et Spiritus Sanctus. Postquam enim dixit:

And the Holy Ghost also doth testify this to us. For after that he said:

Contesta autem nos et Spiritu Sancto. Postquam nam dic:

Hoc autem testamentum, quod testabor ad illos post dies illos, dicit Dominus, dando leges meas in cordibus eorum, et in mentibus eorum superscribam eas:

And this is the testament which I will make unto them after those days, saith the Lord. I will give my laws in their hearts and on their minds will I write them:

Hoc autem testamento, quod testor ad illos post dies illos, dic Domino, danda leges meo in cordes de illos, et in mentes de illos superscriba illas:

et peccatorum, et iniquitatum eorum jam non recordabor amplius.

And their sins and iniquities I will remember no more.

Et de peccatos, et de iniquitates de illos jam non recordor ample.

Ubi autem horum remissio: jam non est oblatio pro peccato.

Now, where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin.

Ubi autem de hoc remissione: jam non oblatione es pro peccato.

Habentes itaque, fratres, fiduciam in introitu sanctorum in sanguine Christi,

Having therefore, brethren, a confidence in the entering into the holies by the blood of Christ:

Habe itaque, fratres, fiducia in introitu sancto in sanguine de Christo,

quam initiavit nobis viam novam, et viventem per velamen, id est, carnem suam,

A new and living way which he hath dedicated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh:

Quam initia ad nos via novo, et vive per velamine, id es, carne suo,

et sacerdotem magnum super domum Dei:

And a high priest over the house of God:

Et sacerdote magna super domo de Deo:

accedamus cum vero corde in plenitudine fidei, aspersi corda a conscientia mala, et abluti corpus aqua munda,

Let us draw near with a true heart, in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with clean water.

Accede cum vero corde in plenitudine de fide, asperge cordes ab conscientia malo, et ablue corpore aqua mundo,

teneamus spei nostræ confessionem indeclinabilem (fidelis enim est qui repromisit),

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering (for he is faithful that hath promised):

Tene de spe nostro confessione indeclinabile (fideli nam qui repromitte es),

et consideremus invicem in provocationem caritatis, et bonorum operum:

And let us consider one another, to provoke unto charity and to good works:

Et considera invicem in provocatione de caritate, et bono de operes:

non deserentes collectionem nostram, sicut consuetudinis est quibusdam, sed consolantes, et tanto magis quanto videritis appropinquantem diem.

Not forsaking our assembly, as some are accustomed: but comforting one anther, and so much the more as you see the day approaching.

Non desere collectione nostro, sicut de consuetudine es ad uno, sed consola, et tanto magis quanto vide appropinqua die.

Voluntarie enim peccantibus nobis post acceptam notitiam veritatis, jam non relinquitur pro peccatis hostia,

For if we sin wilfully after having the knowledge of the truth, there is now left no sacrifice for sins:

Ad voluntario nam pecca ad nos post accipe notitia de veritate, jam non relinque pro peccatos hostia,

terribilis autem quædam exspectatio judicii, et ignis æmulatio, quæ consumptura est adversarios.

But a certain dreadful expectation of judgment, and the rage of a fire which shall consume the adversaries.

Terribili autem uno exspectatione de iudicio, et igni aemulatione, que consume es adversario.

Irritam quis faciens legem Moysi, sine ulla miseratione duobus vel tribus testibus moritur:

A man making void the law of Moses dieth without any mercy under two or three witnesses:

Irrito qui faciente lege de Moysi, sine ullo miseratione duo vel tre teste more:

quanto magis putatis deteriora mereri supplicia qui Filium Dei conculcaverit, et sanguinem testamenti pollutum duxerit, in quo sanctificatus est, et spiritui gratiæ contumeliam fecerit?

How much more, do you think he deserveth worse punishments, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God and hath esteemed the blood of the testament unclean, by which he was sanctified, and hath offered an affront to the Spirit of grace?

Quanto magis puta deteriore mereor supplicios qui conculca Filio de Deo, et sanguine de testamento pollue duc, in quo sanctifica es, et ad spiritu de gratia contumelia fac?

Scimus enim qui dixit: Mihi vindicta, et ego retribuam. Et iterum: Quia judicabit Dominus populum suum.

For we know him that hath said: Vengeance belongeth to me, and I will repay. And again: The Lord shall judge his people.

Sci nam qui dic: ad me vindicta, et me retribue. Et iterum: quia Domino iudica populo suo.

Horrendum est incidere in manus Dei viventis.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Horre es incide in manus de Deo vive.

Rememoramini autem pristinos dies, in quibus illuminati, magnum certamen sustinuistis passionum:

But call to mind the former days, wherein, being illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions.

Rememora autem pristino dies, in que illumina, magna certamine sustine de passiones:

et in altero quidem opprobriis et tribulationibus spectaculum facti: in altero autem socii taliter conversantium effecti.

And on the one hand indeed, by reproaches and tribulations, were made a gazingstock; and on the other, became companions of them that were used in such sort.

Et in altero quidem opprobrios et tribulationes spectaculo fac: in altero autem socios taliter conversor efficie.

Nam et vinctis compassi estis, et rapinam bonorum vestrorum cum gaudio suscepistis, cognoscentes vos habere meliorem et manentem substantiam.

For you both had compassion on them that were in bands and took with joy the being stripped of your own goods, knowing that you have a better and a lasting substance.

Nam et vince compeda es, et rapina de bono vestro cum gaudio suscipe, cognosce vos habere bono et mane substantia.

Nolite itaque amittere confidentiam vestram, quæ magnam habet remunerationem.

Do not therefore lose your confidence which hath a great reward.

Ne vol itaque amitte confidentia vestro, que magna habe remuneratione.

Patientia enim vobis necessaria est: ut voluntatem Dei facientes, reportetis promissionem.

For patience is necessary for you: that, doing the will of God, you may receive the promise.

Patientia nam ad vos necessaria es: ut voluntate de Deo fac, reporte promissione.

Adhuc enim modicum aliquantulum, qui venturus est, veniet, et non tardabit.

For yet a little and a very little while, and he that is to come will come and will not delay.

Adhuc nam modico aliquantulum, qui veni es, veni, et non tarda.

Justus autem meus ex fide vivit: quod si subtraxerit se, non placebit animæ meæ.

But my just man liveth by faith: but if he withdraw himself, he shall not please my soul.

Iusto autem meo ex fide vive: quod si subtrahe se, non place ad anima meo.

Nos autem non sumus subtractionis filii in perditionem, sed fidei in acquisitionem animæ.

But we are not the children of withdrawing unto perdition, but of faith to the saving of the soul.

Nos autem non es de subtractione de filio in perditione, sed de fide in acquisitione de anima.
