عِبرانِيّين 7

١ 1 لِأَنَّ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ هَذَا، مَلِكَ سَالِيمَ، كَاهِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، ٱلَّذِي ٱسْتَقْبَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَاجِعًا مِنْ كَسْرَةِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ وَبَارَكَهُ،

For this Malki-Zedeq, king of Shalim, priest of God Most High, who met Avraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

٢ 2 ٱلَّذِي قَسَمَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عُشْرًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. ٱلْمُتَرْجَمَ أَوَّلًا «مَلِكَ ٱلْبِرِّ»، ثُمَّ أَيْضًا «مَلِكَ سَالِيمَ» أَيْ «مَلِكَ ٱلسَّلَامِ»

to whom also Avraham divided "a tenth part of everything" (being first, by interpretation, king of righteousness, and then also king of Shalim, which is king of peace;

٣ 3 بِلَا أَبٍ، بِلَا أُمٍّ، بِلَا نَسَبٍ. لَا بَدَاءَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَهُ وَلَا نِهَايَةَ حَيَاةٍ، بَلْ هُوَ مُشَبَّهٌ بِٱبْنِ ٱللهِ. هَذَا يَبْقَى كَاهِنًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.

٤ 4 ثُمَّ ٱنْظُرُوا مَا أَعْظَمَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْآبَاءِ، عُشْرًا أَيْضًا مِنْ رَأْسِ ٱلْغَنَائِمِ!

Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Avraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the most valuable plunder.

٥ 5 وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ بَنِي لَاوِي، ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْخُذُونَ ٱلْكَهَنُوتَ، فَلَهُمْ وَصِيَّةٌ أَنْ يُعَشِّرُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ بِمُقْتَضَى ٱلنَّامُوسِ، أَيْ إِخْوَتَهُمْ، مَعَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا مِنْ صُلْبِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ.

They indeed of the sons of Lewi who receive the priest's office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the Law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Avraham,

٦ 6 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ نَسَبٌ مِنْهُمْ قَدْ عَشَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ ٱلْمَوَاعِيدُ!

but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Avraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.

٧ 7 وَبِدُونِ كُلِّ مُشَاجَرَةٍ: ٱلْأَصْغَرُ يُبَارَكُ مِنَ ٱلْأَكْبَرِ،

But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.

٨ 8 وَهُنَا أُنَاسٌ مَائِتُونَ يَأْخُذُونَ عُشْرًا، وَأَمَّا هُنَاكَ فَٱلْمَشْهُودُ لَهُ بِأَنَّهُ حَيٌّ.

Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.

٩ 9 حَتَّى أَقُولُ كَلِمَةً: إِنَّ لَاوِي أَيْضًا ٱلْآخِذَ ٱلْأَعْشَارَ قَدْ عُشِّرَ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ.

We can say that through Avraham even Lewi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ بَعْدُ فِي صُلْبِ أَبِيهِ حِينَ ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ.

for he was yet in the body of his father when Malki-Zedeq met him.

١١ 11 فَلَوْ كَانَ بِٱلْكَهَنُوتِ ٱللَّاوِيِّ كَمَالٌ - إِذِ ٱلشَّعْبُ أَخَذَ ٱلنَّامُوسَ عَلَيْهِ - مَاذَا كَانَتِ ٱلْحَاجَةُ بَعْدُ إِلَى أَنْ يَقُومَ كَاهِنٌ آخَرُ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ؟ وَلَا يُقَالُ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ هَارُونَ.

Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Malki-Zedeq, and not be called after the order of Ahrun?

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ تَغَيَّرَ ٱلْكَهَنُوتُ، فَبِالضَّرُورَةِ يَصِيرُ تَغَيُّرٌ لِلنَّامُوسِ أَيْضًا.

For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.

١٣ 13 لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي يُقَالُ عَنْهُ هَذَا كَانَ شَرِيكًا فِي سِبْطٍ آخَرَ لَمْ يُلَازِمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُ ٱلْمَذْبَحَ.

For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

١٤ 14 فَإِنَّهُ وَاضِحٌ أَنَّ رَبَّنَا قَدْ طَلَعَ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ عَنْهُ مُوسَى شَيْئًا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْكَهَنُوتِ.

For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Yehudah, about which tribe Mushe spoke nothing concerning priests.

١٥ 15 وَذَلِكَ أَكْثَرُ وُضُوحًا أَيْضًا إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى شِبْهِ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ يَقُومُ كَاهِنٌ آخَرُ،

This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Malki-Zedeq there arises another priest,

١٦ 16 قَدْ صَارَ لَيْسَ بِحَسَبِ نَامُوسِ وَصِيَّةٍ جَسَدِيَّةٍ، بَلْ بِحَسَبِ قُوَّةِ حَيَاةٍ لَا تَزُولُ.

who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:

١٧ 17 لِأَنَّهُ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ: «كَاهِنٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ». (aiōn g165)

for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Malki-Zedeq." (aiōn g165)

١٨ 18 فَإِنَّهُ يَصِيرُ إِبْطَالُ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ ٱلسَّابِقَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ضَعْفِهَا وَعَدَمِ نَفْعِهَا،

For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

١٩ 19 إِذِ ٱلنَّامُوسُ لَمْ يُكَمِّلْ شَيْئًا. وَلَكِنْ يَصِيرُ إِدْخَالُ رَجَاءٍ أَفْضَلَ بِهِ نَقْتَرِبُ إِلَى ٱللهِ.

(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

٢٠ 20 وَعَلَى قَدْرِ مَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِدُونِ قَسَمٍ،

Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath,

٢١ 21 لِأَنَّ أُولَئِكَ بِدُونِ قَسَمٍ قَدْ صَارُوا كَهَنَةً، وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَبِقَسَمٍ مِنَ ٱلْقَائِلِ لَهُ: «أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَلَنْ يَنْدَمَ، أَنْتَ كَاهِنٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ». (aiōn g165)

for they indeed have been made priests without an oath, but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.'" (aiōn g165)

٢٢ 22 عَلَى قَدْرِ ذَلِكَ، قَدْ صَارَ يَسُوعُ ضَامِنًا لِعَهْدٍ أَفْضَلَ.

Accordingly Yeshua has become the guarantor of a better covenant.

٢٣ 23 وَأُولَئِكَ قَدْ صَارُوا كَهَنَةً كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَنْعِهِمْ بِٱلْمَوْتِ عَنِ ٱلْبَقَاءِ،

Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.

٢٤ 24 وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَمِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ يَبْقَى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لَهُ كَهَنُوتٌ لَا يَزُولُ. (aiōn g165)

But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable. (aiōn g165)

٢٥ 25 فَمِنْ ثَمَّ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلتَّمَامِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَقَدَّمُونَ بِهِ إِلَى ٱللهِ، إِذْ هُوَ حَيٌّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ لِيَشْفَعَ فِيهِمْ.

Therefore he is also able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

٢٦ 26 لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَلِيقُ بِنَا رَئِيسُ كَهَنَةٍ مِثْلُ هَذَا، قُدُّوسٌ بِلَا شَرٍّ وَلَا دَنَسٍ، قَدِ ٱنْفَصَلَ عَنِ ٱلْخُطَاةِ وَصَارَ أَعْلَى مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ،

For such a high priest was indeed fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

٢٧ 27 ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ ٱضْطِرَارٌ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِثْلُ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ أَنْ يُقَدِّمَ ذَبَائِحَ أَوَّلًا عَنْ خَطَايَا نَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ عَنْ خَطَايَا ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّهُ فَعَلَ هَذَا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، إِذْ قَدَّمَ نَفْسَهُ.

who does not need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

٢٨ 28 فَإِنَّ ٱلنَّامُوسَ يُقِيمُ أُنَاسًا بِهِمْ ضَعْفٌ رُؤَسَاءَ كَهَنَةٍ. وَأَمَّا كَلِمَةُ ٱلْقَسَمِ ٱلَّتِي بَعْدَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ فَتُقِيمُ ٱبْنًا مُكَمَّلًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. (aiōn g165)

For the Law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the Law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected. (aiōn g165)
