Καί And καθ ̓ to ὅσον as much as οὐ not χωρίς apart from ὁρκωμοσίας· an oath, οἱ those ones μέν truly γάρ for χωρίς without ὁρκωμοσίας an oath εἰσίν are ἱερεῖς priests γεγονότες, becoming, ὁ [He] δέ however μετά with ὁρκωμοσίας an oath, διά through τοῦ the [One] λέγοντος saying πρός to αὐτόν· Him: Ὤμοσεν Has sworn Κύριος [the] Lord, καί and οὐ not μεταμεληθήσεται· will change His mind, Σύ You [are] ἱερεύς a priest εἰς to τόν the αἰῶνα. age.’” Κατά By τοσοῦτο so much καί also κρείττονος of a better διαθήκης covenant γέγονεν has become ἔγγυος [the] guarantee Ἰησοῦς.

Καί And οἱ those μέν indeed πλείονες many εἰσίν are γεγονότες having become ἱερεῖς priests, διά because of τό - θανάτῳ by death κωλύεσθαι being prevented from παραμένειν· continuing. ὁ - δέ But διά because of τό the μένειν abiding αὐτόν of Him εἰς to τόν the αἰῶνα age, ἀπαράβατον a permanent ἔχει He holds τήν - ἱερωσύνην· priesthood, ὅθεν wherefore καί also, σῴζειν to save εἰς to τό the παντελές uttermost δύναται He is able, τούς those προσερχομένους drawing near δι ̓ through αὐτοῦ Him τῷ - Θεῷ, to God, πάντοτε always ζῶν living εἰς for τό - ἐντυγχάνειν to intercede ὑπέρ for αὐτῶν. them.

Τοιοῦτος Such γάρ indeed ἡμῖν for us καί also ἔπρεπεν was fitting ἀρχιερεύς, a high priest, ὅσιος holy, ἄκακος innocent, ἀμίαντος, undefiled, κεχωρισμένος having been separated ἀπό from τῶν - ἁμαρτωλῶν sinners, καί and ὑψηλότερος higher τῶν than the οὐρανῶν heavens γενόμενος, having become, ὅς who οὐ not ἔχει has καθ ̓ every ἡμέραν day ἀνάγκην, need, ὥσπερ as οἱ the ἀρχιερεῖς, high priests, πρότερον first ὑπέρ for τῶν the ἰδίων own ἁμαρτιῶν sins, θυσίας sacrifices ἀναφέρειν to offer up, ἔπειτα then τῶν for those τοῦ of the λαοῦ· people; τοῦτο this γάρ for ἐποίησεν He did ἐφάπαξ once for all, ἑαυτόν Himself ἀνενέγκας. having offered up. ὁ The νόμος law γάρ for ἀνθρώπους men καθίστησιν appoints ἀρχιερεῖς as high priests, ἔχοντας having ἀσθένειαν, weakness; ὁ the λόγος word δέ however τῆς of the ὁρκωμοσίας oath, τῆς which [is] μετά after τόν the νόμον law, Υἱόν a Son εἰς to τόν the αἰῶνα age, τετελειωμένον. having been perfected.

Κεφάλαιον [The] sum δέ now ἐπί of τοῖς the things λεγομένοις, being spoken of [is that] τοιοῦτον such ἔχομεν we have, ἀρχιερέα, a high priest ὅς who ἐκάθισεν sat down ἐν at δεξιᾷ [the] right hand τοῦ of the θρόνου throne τῆς of the Μεγαλωσύνης Majesty ἐν in τοῖς the οὐρανοῖς, heavens, τῶν in the ἁγίων holy places λειτουργός a minister, καί and τῆς in the σκηνῆς tabernacle τῆς - ἀληθινῆς, true, ἥν which ἔπηξεν has pitched ὁ the Κύριος, Lord, οὐ not ἄνθρωπος. man. Πᾶς Every γάρ for ἀρχιερεύς high priest, εἰς in order τό - προσφέρειν to offer δῶρα gifts τέ both, καί and θυσίας sacrifices, καθίσταται· is appointed; ὅθεν wherefore [it was] ἀναγκαῖον necessary ἔχειν to have τὶ something καί also τοῦτον [for] this One ὅ that προσενέγκῃ. He might offer. εἰ If μέν certainly οὖν then ἦν He were ἐπί on γῆς, earth, οὐδ ̓ not even ἄν - ἦν would He be ἱερεύς, a priest, ὄντων there being τῶν those προσφερόντων offering κατά according to νόμον law τά the δῶρα· gifts, οἵτινες who ὑποδείγματι a copy καί and σκιᾷ shadow λατρεύουσιν serve τῶν of the ἐπουρανίων, heavenly, καθώς as κεχρημάτισται was divinely instructed Μωϋσῆς Moses, μέλλων being about ἐπιτελεῖν to complete τήν the σκηνήν· tabernacle. Ὅρα See that,” γάρ for φησίν, He says, Ποιήσεις you shall make πάντα all things κατά according to τόν the τύπον pattern τόν - δειχθέντα having been shown σοι you ἐν in τῷ the ὄρει· mountain.” Νυνί Now, δέ however, διαφορωτέρας more excellent τέτυχεν He has obtained λειτουργίας, a ministry, ὅσῳ as much as καί also κρείττονος of a better ἐστίν He is διαθήκης covenant μεσίτης, [the] mediator, ἥτις which ἐπί upon κρείττοσιν better ἐπαγγελίαις promises νενομοθέτηται. has been enacted.

Τούτων These things δέ now οὕτως thus κατεσκευασμένων having been prepared, εἰς into μέν indeed τήν the πρώτην first σκηνήν tabernacle διά at all times παντός everything εἰσίασιν enter οἱ the ἱερεῖς priests, τάς the λατρείας sacred services ἐπιτελοῦντες, accomplishing. εἰς [Enters] into δέ however τήν the δευτέραν second, ἅπαξ once τοῦ in the ἐνιαυτοῦ year μόνος only, ὁ the ἀρχιερεύς, high priest, οὐ not χωρίς without αἵματος blood, ὅ which προσφέρει he offers ὑπέρ for ἑαυτοῦ himself καί and τῶν the τοῦ of the λαοῦ people ἀγνοημάτων, sins of ignorance. Τοῦτο By this δηλοῦντος was signifying τοῦ the Πνεύματος Spirit τοῦ - Ἁγίου, Holy μήπω [that] not yet πεφανερῶσθαι has been made manifest τήν the τῶν into the ἁγίων holy places ὁδόν way, ἔτι still τῆς the πρώτης first σκηνῆς tabernacle ἐχούσης having στάσιν, a standing, ἥτις which [is] παραβολή a symbol εἰς for τόν the καιρόν time τόν - ἐνεστηκότα, present, καθ ̓ in ἥν which δῶρα gifts τέ both καί and θυσίαι sacrifices προσφέρονται are offered, μή not δυνάμεναι being able κατά in regard to συνείδησιν conscience τελειῶσαι to make perfect τόν the [one] λατρεύοντα, worshiping, μόνον [consisting] only ἐπί in βρώμασιν foods καί and πόμασιν drinks καί and διαφόροις various βαπτισμοῖς, washings, δικαιώματα ordinances σαρκός of [the] flesh, μέχρι until καιροῦ [the] time διορθώσεως of reformation ἐπικείμενα. being imposed.
