Hebrews 7
1 iwayi hi malkisadak ichu salem irji ukon gye iwandi astra ni ibrahim arji ni bubu taku baba ichu bari nikima ati lulu yoniwu
It was this Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and gave him his blessing;
2 ibrahim a nuh toh nitu vukpintrame a fea indema hi malkisadak itutre kima andi ichu dindi tokima ichu salem tutre ki ahi ichu kau u chuwo
and it was to him that Abraham allotted a tithe of all the spoil. The meaning of his name is ‘king of righteousness,’ and besides that, he was also king of Salem, which means ‘king of peace.’
3 ana he ni itina ana heni yina anaheni gyirzina anaheni mumla zrena a heni kle nrli na wawu ahi chu ukase kase wwu he to vrerji
There is no record of his father, or mother, or lineage, nor again of any beginning of his days, or end of his life. In this he resembles the Son of God, and stands before us as a priest whose priesthood is continuous.
4 ziza a tob minko iwandi idji yi aheni wua iti utiti mbu ibrahim anu ri nimyi iwlou ni kpi iwandi aka fe umegye uma ni bubu taku uma
Consider, then the importance of this Melchizedek, to whom even the patriarch Abraham himself gave a tithe of the choicest spoils.
5 ngarli igirji iawi iwandi ba kpa ndu biti ndu trairji bahe nitre iwandi arji ni bubuu blatrerija andi dubakpa iri ni myi iwloa niwondji wato niwo imrli vayimba isra lawa koda ike bahem gyizji Ibrahim me
Those descendants of Levi, who are from time to time appointed to the priesthood, are directed to collect tithes from the people in accordance with the Law – that is from their own kindred, although they also are descended from Abraham.
6 wawu malkisadak ana he ni gyrji lawi na akpa iri ni myi iwolu niwo Ibrahim nati lulu yoniwu wawu iwandi aheni youyua
But Melchizedek, although not of this lineage, received tithes from Abraham, and gave his blessing to the man who had God’s promises.
7 ana gbra sromana tsitsa mba ni kpa lulu niwo iwandi ahinikon ni wa
Now no one can dispute that it is the superior who blesses the inferior.
8 iwayi hi trendji biwandi bakpa iri nimyi wlon niviri uloba kwu ama ni kauli ri indji iwandi akpa iri ni myi wlon mbubu ibrahim andi ba vrinka har ye luwa
In the one case the tithes are received by people who are mortal; in the other case by one about whom there is the statement that his life still continues.
9 ngarli nitu tre lawi indji iwandi ani kpari ni myi wloa ndu wawu me nu ibrahim zaka
Moreover, in a sense, even Levi, who is the receiver of the tithes, has, through Abraham, paid tithes;
10 lawi ahe myi biwandi tsatson ibrahim ninton iwandi malkisadak aye kbu tu ni ibrahim
for Levi was still in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
11 zizaa ani bi mudu kiwa kle ni myi firistanci bi iwaiyawa to ina bi iwandi firist aye nitu kpe uti otli biwu malkisadak bana tre nitu kpi uti Haruna na?
If, then, perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood – and it was under this priesthood that the people received the Law – why was it still necessary that a priest of a different order should appear, a priest of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?
12 kongya ninton iwandi ba vuba ba sru ni kanka tokima me ibla tre ni he ni kanka
With the change of the priesthood a change of the Law became a necessity.
13 indji iwandi batretre biyi nituma a hidji uwgburunka iwandi idiori na taba kukurlini koshshi trarji
And he of whom all this is said belonged to quite a different tribe, no member of which has ever served at the altar.
14 iwayi heni kirji ji itumbu irji ni myi igrji yaluza nigrji iwandi musa na taba yoba nitu tre firistoci bana
For it is plain that our Lord had sprung from the tribe of Judah, though of that tribe Moses said nothing about their being priests.
15 ikpewandi kizitrea aheni kirji ndi idan frist ri aba shishi malkisadak
All this becomes even yet plainer when we remember that a new priest has appeared, resembling Melchizedek,
16 iwandi hi frist sisama anahi frist iwandi a wlude nitu andi ka ida ugrji mirli adamu a na aheni myi frist biwandi bana shabrjiana
and that he was appointed, not under a Law regulating only earthly matters, but by virtue of a life beyond the reach of death;
for that is the meaning of the declaration – ‘You are for all time a priest of the order of Melchizedek.’ (aiōn g165)
18 doka ufari ba kauzi ni kosari don ahi sanko iwandi ana bina
On the one hand, we have the abolition of a previous regulation as being both inefficient and useless
19 domi tro na kamaita kperina ama kpen yosron dindi mko shishi iwandi nituma ki fenkon uhu trairji
(for the Law never brought anything to perfection); and, on the other hand, we have the introduction of a better hope, which enables us to draw near to God.
20 iwayi iyosron ndidima anadi se shirjina don firisloci bimu bana shirjina
Then again, the appointment of this new priest was ratified by an oath, which is not so with the Levitical priests,
but his appointment was ratified by an oath, when God said to him – ‘The Lord has sworn, and will not change, “You are a priest for all time.”’ (aiōn g165)
22 nibubu kima yesu anu kpan yeme na la sekpah
And the oath shows the corresponding superiority of the covenant of which Jesus is appointed the surety.
23 ngarli ikwu azu firistociba nitin har kase kase iwayimba sa fristochi gbugbwu iri ni kogwori
Again, new Levitical priests are continually being appointed, because death prevents their remaining in office;
but Jesus remains for all time, and therefore the priesthood that he holds will never pass to another. (aiōn g165)
25 nitu tukima aheni ngblegle u gbujbu iwandi ahe hwuye hwuye nirji ni u me ngarli don ahe ni sisre asi briirji nitu mba
And that is why he is able to save perfectly those who come to God through him, living for ever, as he does, to intercede of their behalf.
26 nitu iri bikima nikhon ni myi bi tindu ni korji wawuyi bini ta ana he ni latrena uka ti meme tsatrama iwandi aheni hrah uimyi bii latre ahe ni shushuluwa wuu
This was the high priest that we needed – holy, innocent, spotless, withdrawn from sinners, exalted above the highest heaven,
27 ana hem gbujbuna na binkohn nindu rji ba iwandi ba sruyi nivi nivi ni mumla ma ahi mtu latre utu mba kimba ngarli nitutatre ndji wawuu ama vrerji ati tombaimkpu ri megye ana youygah niko nygah ni yanda kpe wandi akba tuma nya
one who has no need to offer sacrifices daily as those high priests have, first for their own sins, and then for those of the people. For this he did once and for all, when he offered himself as the sacrifice.
28 nitu blatre iwandi indji biwandi ba gazawa nikohn firistoci ama itre shirji iwandi ayeni kokwon blatre anu iwandi wawuyi nison kase kase (aiōn g165)
The Law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the words of God’s oath, which was later than the Law, name the Son as, for all time, the perfect priest. (aiōn g165)
