6 Kepha lezo zinto zilungisiwe ngokunjalo, abapristi bangena njalo etabernakele* lokuqala befeza izinkonzo, 7 kodwa kwelesibili kungena umpristi omkhulu yedwa kanye ngomnyaka, kungengaphandle kwegazi anikela ngalo ngenxa yakhe uqobo nangenxa yezono zabantu, 8 uMoya oNgcwele etshengisa lokhu ukuthi ayikabonakaliswa indlela eya endaweni engcwele, lisemi itabernakele* lokuqala, 9elona lingumfanekiso kulesi sikhathi samanje, okulethwa ngawo iminikelo nemihlatshelo engenakumenza okhonzayo aphelele maqondana nonembeza, 10 kodwa yona kanye nokudla nokuphuza nokugeza okuyizinhlobonhlobo iyizimiso zenyama kuphela ezibekiweyo, kuze kufike isikhathi sokupheleliswa kwezinto.
Umsebenzi kaKristu wobupristi obukhulu

UKristu ungumlamuleli wesivumelwano esisha ngegazi lakhe
15 Ngalokho-ke ungumlamuleli wesivumelwano esisha, kuze kuthi ngokufa okungenxa yokukhululwa eziphambekweni zesivumelwano sokuqala ababiziweyo bazuze ifa eliphakade elathenjiswayo.
16Ngokuba lapho kukhona itestamente*, kufuneka ukuba kubikwe ukufa kowalenzayo; 17ngokuba itestamente* lisebenza sekufiwe, ngokuba alize lingaba namandla esekhona owalenzayo. 18Ngalokho-ke isivumelwano sokuqala asimiswanga ngaphandle kwegazi. 19 Ngokuba isikhulunyiwe imiyalelo yonke ngokomthetho nguMose kubantu bonke, wayesethatha igazi lamathole nelezimbuzi kanye namanzi noboya obubomvu nehisopi*, wafafaza incwadi nabantu bonke, 20 ethi: “Lokhu kuyigazi lesivumelwano aniyale ngaso uNkulunkulu.” 21 Netabernakele* futhi, nezitsha zonke zenkonzo wakufafaza kanjalo ngegazi. 22 Yebo, cishe zonke izinto zihlanjululwa ngegazi ngokomthetho; ngaphandle kokuchitha igazi akukho ukuthethelelwa.
23Njalo-ke kwakudingekile ukuba imifanekiso yokusezulwini ihlanzwe ngalokho, kepha okusezulwini uqobo lwakho kuhlanzwe ngeminikelo emihle kunalena. 24 Ngokuba uKristu kangenanga endaweni engcwele eyenziwe ngezandla, engumfanekiso waleyo okuyiyo ngempela, kepha wangena ezulwini uqobo ukuba manje abonakale ebusweni bukaNkulunkulu ngenxa yethu, 25 kungesikho futhi ukuba azinikele kaningi, njengalokhu umpristi omkhulu engena endaweni engcwele iminyaka ngeminyaka, ephethe igazi elingesilo elakhe; 26uma kwakunjalo wayemelwe ukuhlupheka kaningi selokhu kwasekelwa izwe; kodwa kalokhu ubonakalisiwe kanye ekupheleni kwezikhathi ukuba asuse izono ngokuzinikela kwakhe. 27 Futhi njengalokhu kumiselwe abantu ukuba bafe kanye, emva kwalokhu ukwahlulelwa, 28 kunjalo noKristu, esenikelwe kanye ukuba athwale izono zabaningi, uyakubonakala ngokwesibili ngaphandle kwesono kulabo abamlindeleyo, kube ngukusindiswa.
