| 1 | Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. | Now even a first [covenant] had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, [a sanctuary] of this world. | Certamente anche il primo patto ebbe degli ordinamenti per il servizio divino e per il santuario terreno. |
| 2 | For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. | For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein [were] the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the Holy place. | Infatti fu costruito un primo tabernacolo in cui vi erano il candelabro la tavola e i pani della presentazione; esso è chiamato: "Il luogo santo". |
| 3 | And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; | And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies; | Dietro il secondo velo c'era il tabernacolo, detto: "Il luogo santissimo", |
| 4 | Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; | having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron`s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; | che conteneva un turibolo d'oro e l'arca del patto tutta ricoperta d'oro, nella quale si trovava un vaso d'oro contenente la manna, la verga di Aaronne che era germogliata e le tavole del patto. |
| 5 | And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. | and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally. | E sopra l'arca vi erano i cherubini della gloria che adombravano il propiziatorio; di queste cose non possiamo parlarne ora dettagliatamente. |
| 6 | Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. | Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services; | Or essendo queste cose disposte così, i sacerdoti entravano continuamente nel primo tabernacolo, per compiere il servizio divino; |
| 7 | But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: | but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people: | ma nel secondo entrava soltanto il sommo sacerdote una volta all'anno, non senza sangue, che egli offriva per se stesso, e per i peccati d'ignoranza del popolo. |
| 8 | The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: | the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing; | Lo Spirito Santo voleva così dimostrare che la via del santuario non era ancora resa manifesta, mentre sussisteva ancora il primo tabernacolo, |
| 9 | Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; | which [is] a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect, | il quale è una figura per il tempo presente, e voleva indicare che i doni e i sacrifici offerti non potevano rendere perfetto nella coscienza colui che faceva il servizio divino, |
| 10 | Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. | [being] only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation. | trattandosi solo di cibi, di bevande, di varie abluzioni e di ordinamenti carnali, imposti fino al tempo del cambiamento. |
| 11 | But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; | But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, | Ma Cristo, essendo venuto come sommo sacerdote dei beni futuri, attraverso un tabernacolo più grande e più perfetto non fatto da mano d'uomo, cioè non di questa creazione, |
| 12 | Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. | nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption. | entrò una volta per sempre nel santuario, non con sangue di capri e di vitelli, ma col proprio sangue, avendo acquistato una redenzione eterna. |
| 13 | For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: | For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiled, sanctify unto the cleanness of the flesh: | Infatti, se il sangue dei tori e dei capri e la cenere di una giovenca aspersi sopra i contaminati li santifica, purificandoli nella carne, |
| 14 | How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? | how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? | quanto più il sangue di Cristo, che mediante lo Spirito eterno offerse se stesso puro di ogni colpa a Dio, purificherà la vostra coscienza dalle opere morte per servire il Dio vivente! |
| 15 | And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. | And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. | E perciò egli è il mediatore del nuovo patto affinché, essendo intervenuta la morte per il riscatto dalle trasgressioni commesse sotto il primo patto, i chiamati ricevano la promessa dell'eterna eredità. |
| 16 | For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. | For where a testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him that made it. | Poiché dove c'è un testamento, ci deve essere necessariamente anche la morte del testatore. |
| 17 | For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. | For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth. | Il testamento infatti è valido solo dopo la morte di qualcuno, perché non ha alcuna forza mentre vive ancora il testatore. |
| 18 | Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. | Wherefore even the first [covenant] hath not been dedicated without blood. | Per questo neppure il primo fu inaugurato senza sangue. |
| 19 | For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, | For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses unto all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, | Infatti, quando tutti i comandamenti secondo la legge furono proclamati da Mosè a tutto il popolo, egli, preso il sangue dei vitelli e dei capri, con acqua, lana scarlatta e issopo, asperse il libro stesso e tutto il popolo, |
| 20 | Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. | saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you-ward. | dicendo Questo è il sangue del patto che Dio ha ordinato per voi. |
| 21 | Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. | Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he sprinkled in like manner with the blood. | Parimenti con quel sangue egli asperse pure il tabernacolo e tutti gli arredi del servizio divino. |
| 22 | And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. | And according to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission. | E, secondo la legge, quasi tutte le cose sono purificate col sangue; e senza spargimento di sangue non c'è perdono dei peccati. |
| 23 | It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. | It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. | Era dunque necessario che i modelli delle cose celesti fossero purificati con queste cose; ma le cose celesti stesse lo dovevano essere con sacrifici più eccellenti di questi. |
| 24 | For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: | For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us: | Cristo infatti non è entrato in un santuario fatto da mani d'uomo, figura delle cose vere, ma nel cielo stesso per comparire ora davanti alla presenza di Dio per noi, |
| 25 | Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; | nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own; | e non per offrire se stesso più volte, come il sommo sacerdote che entra ogni anno nel santuario con sangue, non suo. |
| 26 | For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. | else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. | altrimenti egli avrebbe dovuto soffrire più volte dalla fondazione del mondo; ma ora, una sola volta, alla fine delle età, Cristo è stato manifestato per annullare il peccato mediante il sacrificio di se stesso. |
| 27 | And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: | And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this [cometh] judgment; | E come è stabilito che gli uomini muoiano una sola volta, e dopo ciò viene il giudizio, |
| 28 | So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. | so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation. | così anche Cristo, dopo essere stato offerto una sola volta per prendere su di sé i peccati di molti, apparirà una seconda volta senza peccato a coloro che lo aspettano per la salvezza. |
