Hibulu 7
1 Amo Melegisedege da Saleme (wali dio da Yelusaleme) moilai bai bagade hina bagade dunu esalu. E da Gode Bagadedafa amo Ea gobele salasu dunu esalu. A: ibalaha: me da hina bagade dunu fi biyaduyale gala fane legele, buhagili manoba, Melegisedege da e yosia: i. E da Gode da A: ibalaha: mema hahawane ima: ne sia: i.
This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2 Amanoba, A:ibalaha: me ea gegenana liligi lai huluane mogili, nabuane hamone, afadafa Melegisedegema i. (Melegisedege ea dio dawa: loma: ne da “Ida: iwane Ouligisu.” Amola e da Saleme moilai bai bagadega ouligisu esalebeba: le, ea dio dawa: loma: ne eno da “Olofosu hina bagade.”)
and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness.” Then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”
3 Melegisedege ea ame, ea ada amola ea siba fi, bai huluane hame dedeiba: le ninia hame dawa: E da habogala lalelegei amola habogala bogoi, ninia hame dawa: E da Gode Eagofe amo ea fedege agoane diala. Ea gobele salasu dunu hawa: hamosu da mae dagole, eso huluane dialalalumu.
Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.
4 Amaiba: le, dawa: ma! Melegisedege da mimogo dunu bagade ba: sa. Ninia aowalali eda bagade, A:ibalaha: me, e da gegebeba: le liligi lai amo mogili, nabuane agoane fifili, la: idi afadafa ema i.
Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.
5 Isala: ili fi ganodini, Sema agoane dedei diala. Musa: gobele salasu dunu ea dio amo Lifai amo egaga fi, ilia da ilia fi dunu (amo amola ilia da A: ibalaha: me ea manolali) amoma liligi mogili nabuane agoane fifili, afadafa lamu.
Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.
6 Melegisedege da Lifai ea mano hame. Be e da A: ibalaha: me (ema Gode da hahawane dogolegele iasu imunu ilegele sia: i) ema ea liligi mogili, nabuane agoane fifili, afadafa (daide 1/10) lai.
But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7 Dunu afae da eno dunuma Gode da hahawane ima: ne sia: musa: gasa defele galea, e da mimogo dunu esala. Amola nowa dunu e da ilima iaha, amo dunu da ea hou baligisa, amo ninia noga: le dawa:
And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 Isala: ili fi dunu ilia da gobele salasu dunu (hobea bogomu dunu) ilima liligi mogili, nabuane fifili, la: idi afadafa iaha. Be Gode Sia: Dedei defele, Melegisedege ea hou da fedege agoane, eso huluane esalalalumu dunu da “daide” laha.
In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.
9 Amola fedege agoane, A:ibalaha: me da Melegisedegema “daide” iabeba: le, Lifai (amo ea mano da wali “daide” laha) da amo “daide” Melegisedegema i dagoi.
And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.
10 Lifai da amo esoga hame lalelegeiba: le, e da fedege agoane, ea aowalali ada A: ibalaha: me amo ea da: i hodo ganodini dialu. Amanoba, A:ibalaha: me da Melegisedege gousa: lalu, “daide” ema i.
For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.
11 Gode da Lifai ea mano da gobele salasu dunu hawa: hamomusa: ilegeiba: le, amo baiga E da Sema amo Isala: ili fi ilima i. Be Lifai gobele salasu dunu ilia hawa: hamosu da ida: idafa ba: loba, eno gobele salasu dunu amo da Elane ea mano hame be Melegisedege ea fi dunu agoane ba: su Dunu, amo eno misunu da bai hamedeidafa agoai ba: la: loba.
Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?
12 Bai Gode da gobele salasu dunu fi afadenesea, E da Sema amola afadenemu.
For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.
13 Amo liligi huluane dedei da ninia Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu Ea hou olelesa. Amola E da fi hisu amo ganodini lalelegei. Ea fi amo ganodini, dunu afae da gobele salasu dunu hawa: hamosu hamedafa hamoi.
He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
14 Yesu Gelesu da Yuda fi amo ganodini lalelegei. Mousese da gobele salasu dunu ilia hou oleleloba, e da Yuda fi hamedafa sia: i.
For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.
15 Amaiba: le ninia wali noga: le ba: sa. Gobele salasu dunu Hisu, Melegisedege agoane, da misi dagoi.
And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
16 Gode da osobo bagade Sema mae dawa: le, be eso huluane mae bogole Fifi Ahoanusu amo ea gasaga, Yesu Gelesu Gobele Salasu dunu ilegei dagoi.
one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.
17 Bai Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Na da Di Gobele Salasu Dunu eso huluane esalalaloma: ne, ilegei dagoi. Di da Melegisedege ea fi gobele salasu dunu agoane ba: mu.” (aiōn g165)
For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Amaiba: le, musa: Sema da gasa hameba: le amola hamedei agoane ba: beba: le, Gode da amo Sema fadegai dagoi.
So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
19 Bai Mousese ea Sema da liligi afadenene bu ida: iwane hamomusa: hame dawa: i. Be Gode da gaheabolo logo amoga ninia Godema gadenene misunusa: dawa: , amo hahamoi dagoi.
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
20 Amola Gode da amo gaheabolo Sema, amo Ea Dioba: le dafawane ilegele hamomu sia: i. Osobo bagade dunu ilia da gobele salasu dunu hamomusa: gini, Gode Ea Dioba: le dafawane ilegele hamomu hame sia: i.
And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
21 Be Gode da Yesu Gobele Salasu Dunu ilegele, E da Hi Dioba: le dafawane hamomu sia: i, amane, “Hina Gode da Hi Dioba: le dafawane hamomu sia: beba: le, E da Ea asigi dawa: su hamedafa afadenemu. Di da Gobele Salasu Dunu eso huluane esalalaloma: ne hamoi dagoi.” (aiōn g165)
but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’” (aiōn g165)
22 Yesu Ea hou da hisuba: le, E da Sema gaheabolo amoma ouligibiba: le, gaheabolo Sema da musa: Sema amo baligisa ninia dawa:
Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 Eno liligi amola da hisu ba: sa. Musa: gobele salasu dunu da bogosu dawa: beba: le, eso huluane hawa: hamonanumu hamedei agoane ba: i. Amaiba: le, gobele salasu dunu bagohame da hawa: hamosu.
Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
24 Be Yesu da mae bogole, eso huluane esalalalusu dawa: Amaiba: le, E da hame bogomuba: le, Ea Gobele Salasu hawa: hamosu da hamedafa dagomu. (aiōn g165)
But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood. (aiōn g165)
25 Amaiba: le, E da Ea fi dunu fidimusa: , Godema sia: ne gadolalawane eso huluane mae bogole esalalalebeba: le, E da wali amola eso huluane, dunu ilia Ema madelagiba: le Godema mabe dunu, amo dafawane gaga: musa: dawa:
Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.
26 Amaiba: le, ninia fidisu huluanedafa amo hamomusa: , Yesu da Gobele Salasu Ouligisu Dunu defele esala. E da hadigi. Ea hou amo ganodini, ledo o wadela: i hou hamedafa ba: sa. Gode da Yesu wadela: i hou dunu amoga afafane, mu amo baligimusa: lale gadoi dagoi.
Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
27 E da gobele salasu dunu eno agoane hame. E da musa: gobele salasu dunu defele eso huluane musa: ea wadela: i hou amo gogolema: ne olofosu amola fa: no ea fi dunu ilia wadela: i hou amo gogolema: ne olofosu, amo hamoma: ne gobele salasu hamomusa: da Ema hamedei. Bai E da wadela: i hou hamedafa dawa: Be E da gobele salasu afadafa fawane, bu eno mae hamoma: ne, Ea da: i hodo gobele salasu agoane i dagoi.
Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.
28 Mousese ea Sema dawa: le, osobo bagade dunu (dafasu dawa: dunu) ilia da gobele salasu Ouligisu dunu ilegesa. Be Gode Ea hahawane imunu ilegele sia: i liligi (amo E da Ea Dioba: le dafawane hamomu sia: i), amo da Sema amoga fa: no misi. Amo dawa: le, Gode da Egefedafa amo da ida: iwane logo dibi amoga doaga: i dagoi Dunu, Ema Gobele Salasu Ouligisudafa ilegei dagoi. (aiōn g165)
For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever. (aiōn g165)
