In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Indem er sagt: "Ein neues", macht das erste alt. Was aber alt und überjahrt ist, das ist nahe bei seinem Ende.
Diciendo, Nuevo pacto, dio por viejo al primero; y lo que es dado por viejo y se envejece, cerca está de desvanecerse.
Al decir «nuevo», ha hecho antiguo al primero; y lo que se hace antiguo y envejece está cerca de desaparecer.
En disant: une alliance nouvelle, il a déclaré la première ancienne; or, ce qui est ancien, ce qui a vieilli, est près de disparaître.
Dicendo un nuovo patto, egli ha anticato il primiero; or quello ch’è anticato, ed invecchia, è vicino ad essere annullato
Dizendo Nova aliança, envelheceu a primeira. Ora, o que foi tornado velho, e se envelhece, perto está de acabar.
既然上帝提到「新的約」,那麼第一個約就成為舊的了;而那漸舊漸衰的必然很快消逝了。
