The Epistle of St. Paul to the Hebrews

  Chapter 10  

10:1 For the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things: can never with those same sacrifices which, they offer continually every year, make the comers thereunto perfect:
Umbram enim habens lex futurorum bonorum, non ipsam imaginem rerum: per singulos annos, eisdem ipsis hostiis quas offerunt indesinenter, numquam potest accedentes perfectos facere:

10:2 For then they would have ceased to be offered: because the worshippers once cleansed should have no conscience of sin any longer:
alioquin cessassent offerri: ideo quod nullam haberent ultra conscientiam peccati, cultores semel mundati:

10:3 But in them a remembrance of sins is made every year.
sed in ipsis commemoratio peccatorum per singulos annos fit.

10:4 For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sin should be taken away.
Impossibile enim est sanguine taurorum et hircorum auferri peccata.

10:5 Therefore coming into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldst not: but a body thou hast fitted to me:
Ideo ingrediens mundum dicit: Hostiam et oblationem noluisti: corpus autem aptasti mihi:

10:6 Holocausts for sin did not please thee.
holocautomata pro peccato non tibi placuerunt.

10:7 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 dixi: Ecce venio: in capite libri scriptum est de me: Ut faciam, Deus, voluntatem tuam.

10:8 In saying before: Sacrifices and oblations, and holocausts, for sin thou wouldst not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are offered according to the law.
Superius dicens: Quia hostias, et oblationes, et holocautomata pro peccato noluisti, nec placita sunt tibi, quæ secundum legem offeruntur,

10:9 Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: he taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
tunc dixi: Ecce venio, ut faciam, Deus, voluntatem tuam: aufert primum, ut sequens statuat.

10:10 In which will, we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once.
In qua voluntate sanctificati sumus per oblationem corporis Jesu Christi semel.

10:11 And every priest indeed standeth daily ministering, and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Et omnis quidem sacerdos præsto est quotidie ministrans, et easdem sæpe offerens hostias, quæ numquam possunt auferre peccata:

10:12 But he offering one sacrifice for sins, for ever sitteth on the right hand of God,
hic autem unam pro peccatis offerens hostiam, in sempiternum sedet in dextera Dei,

10:13 From henceforth expecting until his enemies be made his footstool.
de cetero exspectans donec ponantur inimici ejus scabellum pedum ejus.

10:14 For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Una enim oblatione, consummavit in sempiternum sanctificatos.

10:15 And the Holy Ghost also doth testify to us. For after he said:
Contestatur autem nos et Spiritus Sanctus. Postquam enim dixit:

10:16 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 in their minds I will write them:
Hoc autem testamentum, quod testabor ad illos post dies illos, dicit Dominus, dando leges meas in cordibus eorum, et in mentibus eorum superscribam eas:

10:17 And their sins and iniquities I will remember no more.
et peccatorum, et iniquitatum eorum jam non recordabor amplius.

10:18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no more an offering for sin.
Ubi autem horum remissio: jam non est oblatio pro peccato.

10:19 Having therefore, brethren, a confidence in the entering into the sanctuary by the blood of Christ,
Habentes itaque, fratres, fiduciam in introitu sanctorum in sanguine Christi,

10:20 A new and living way, which he hath dedicated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
quam initiavit nobis viam novam, et viventem per velamen, id est, carnem suam,

10:21 And a high priest over the house of God:
et sacerdotem magnum super domum Dei:

10:22 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.
accedamus cum vero corde in plenitudine fidei, aspersi corda a conscientia mala, et abluti corpus aqua munda,

10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering (for he is faithful who hath promised),
teneamus spei nostræ confessionem indeclinabilem (fidelis enim est qui repromisit),

10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto charity and to good works:
et consideremus invicem in provocationem caritatis, et bonorum operum:

10:25 Not forsaking our assembly as some are accustomed, but comforting one another, and so much the more as you see the day approaching.
non deserentes collectionem nostram, sicut consuetudinis est quibusdam, sed consolantes, et tanto magis quanto videritis appropinquantem diem.

10:26 For if we sin wilfully after having received the knowledge of the truth, there is now left no sacrifice for sins,
Voluntarie enim peccantibus nobis post acceptam notitiam veritatis, jam non relinquitur pro peccatis hostia,

10:27 But a certain dreadful expectation of judgment and the rage of a fire, which shall consume the adversaries.
terribilis autem quædam exspectatio judicii, et ignis æmulatio, quæ consumptura est adversarios.

10:28 A man making void the law of Moses, dieth without any mercy under two or three witnesses:
Irritam quis faciens legem Moysi, sine ulla miseratione duobus vel tribus testibus moritur:

10:29 How much more, do you think he deserveth worse punishments, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath esteemed the blood of the testament unclean, with which he was sanctified, and hath offered an outrage to the Spirit of grace?
quanto magis putatis deteriora mereri supplicia qui Filium Dei conculcaverit, et sanguinem testamenti pollutum duxerit, in quo sanctificatus est, et spiritui gratiæ contumeliam fecerit?

10:30 For we know him who hath said: Vengeance is mine, and I will repay. And again: The Lord shall judge his people.
Scimus enim qui dixit: Mihi vindicta, et ego retribuam. Et iterum: Quia judicabit Dominus populum suum.

10:31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Horrendum est incidere in manus Dei viventis.

10:32 But call to mind the former days, wherein, being illuminated, you sustained a great conflict of afflictions,
Rememoramini autem pristinos dies, in quibus illuminati, magnum certamen sustinuistis passionum:

10:33 And on the one part indeed, by reproaches and tribulations made a spectacle: and on the other, made companions of them that were so treated.
et in altero quidem opprobriis et tribulationibus spectaculum facti: in altero autem socii taliter conversantium effecti.

10:34 For you also had compassion on those who were in chains, and received with joy the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and permanent substance.
Nam et vinctis compassi estis, et rapinam bonorum vestrorum cum gaudio suscepistis, cognoscentes vos habere meliorem et manentem substantiam.

10:35 Do not therefore lose your confidence, which hath a great reward.
Nolite itaque amittere confidentiam vestram, quæ magnam habet remunerationem.

10:36 For patience is necessary for you: that doing the will of God, you may receive the promise.
Patientia enim vobis necessaria est: ut voluntatem Dei facientes, reportetis promissionem.

10:37 For yet a very little while, and he that is to come will come, and will not delay.
Adhuc enim modicum aliquantulum, qui venturus est, veniet, et non tardabit.

10:38 But my just man liveth by faith: but if he withdraw himself, he shall not please my soul.
Justus autem meus ex fide vivit: quod si subtraxerit se, non placebit animæ meæ.

10:39 But we are not the children of withdrawing unto perdition, but of faith to the salvation of the soul.
Nos autem non sumus subtractionis filii in perditionem, sed fidei in acquisitionem animæ.
