< Hebru 7 >
1 Khohni Pathen kah khosoih, Salem manghai Melkhizedek loh, manghai rhoek tloeknah lamkah aka bal Abraham tea doe tih a uem.
For this Melchisedec, King of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from smiting the kings, and blessed him;
2 A cungkuem lamkah parha ah pakhatte khaw Abraham loh aniha boe. Khatbenah lamhma la, duengnah manghai neh Salem manghai khawa thuingaih coeng. Te tah ngaimongnah manghai ni.
to whom Abraham gave also the tenth portion of all; first being interpreted King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;
3 Pamueh numueh, rhuirhong mueh, a khohnina tongnah om pawttih hingnaha bawtnah khaw khueh pawh. Tedae Pathen capa la omtih kumhal ah khosoih la naeh.
without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually.
4 Patuel Abraham long pataenga kutbuem khuikah parha pakhata paek atah anih khaw bahoeng len tila hmu uh.
Now consider how great this [personage] was, to whom [even] the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the spoils.
5 Levi carhoek long tah a khuikah khosoih tea dang. Olkhueng vanbangla pilnam taengah parha pakhat coinah olpaek khaw a khueh uh. Tedae Abraham pumpu lamloh ha thoeng boeiloeihtih a manuca la om.
And they indeed from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is from their brethren, though these are come out of the loins of Abraham:
6 Tedae amih kah rhuirhong mueh loh Abraham taengkah parha pakhat a doe tih olkhueh aka dang tea uem.
but he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.
7 Te dongah a then loh mathoea uem te boeih pakainah moenih.
But beyond all gainsaying, the inferior is blessed by the better.
8 Te vaengah hlang duek loh parha pakhat te a dang dae hing tila pahoia phong pah.
And here dying men receive tithes; but there [one] of whom the witness is that he lives;
9 Te phoeiah olka a thui vanbangla Abraham lamlong ni Levi long khawa doe parha pakhat te a dang.
and, so to speak, through Abraham, Levi also, who received tithes, has been made to pay tithes.
10 Melkhizedek loh aniha doe vaengah Levi he a napa kaha pumpu ah ni a om pueng.
For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.
11 Levi khosoih lamloh hmakhahnaha om tangloeng atah pilnam loh amah soah ol a rhi coeng. Melkhizedek kah aitlaeng banglaa tloe khosoih aka phoe taengah banima ngoe pueng? Aron kah aitlaeng bangla khue pawt nim?
If indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the people had their law given to them in connexion with it, what need [was there] still that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after the order of Aaron?
12 Khosoih bi tea thovael vaengah olkhueng kah thovaelnah khawa kueknah om.
For, the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a change of law also.
13 Amah kawnga thui uh he khaw a tloe koca taengah cabol coeng. Te lamkah te tah hmueihtuk aka ngaithuen moenih.
For he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of which no one has [ever] been attached to the service of the altar.
14 Te dongah mamih kah Boeipa te Judah lamkah ha thoeng te lohaa coeng. Tekah koca ham khosoih bi te Moses loh ana thui moenih.
For it is clear that our Lord has sprung out of Juda, as to which tribe Moses spake nothing as to priests.
15 Te phoeiaha cimphan la muep om pueng. Melkhizedek kah mueiloh bangla khosoiha tloea phoe mak atah.
And it is yet more abundantly evident, since a different priest arises according to the similitude of Melchisedec,
16 Anih tah pumsa olpaek kah olkhueng dongah om pawt tih aka nguel hingnah kah thaomnah dongah ni a om.
who has been constituted not according to law of fleshly commandment, but according to power of indissoluble life.
17 “Nang tah Melkhizedek kah aitlaeng bangla kumhal ahna khosoih coeng,” tilaa phong. (aiōn )
For it is borne witness, Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn )
18 Olpaek lamhma he tattloel tiha hloo dongah a hnawt a khoe la poeh.
For there is a setting aside of the commandment going before for its weakness and unprofitableness,
19 Olkhueng loh soep sak pawt dae ngaiuepnah then ham rhoekbahnah la om. Te nen ni Pathen taengla n'yoei uh.
(for the law perfected nothing, ) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God.
20 Te tlam khaw olhlonah tal aih pawt dae, amih tah olhlonah om muehla khosoiha bi uh ngawn ta.
And by how much [it was] not without the swearing of an oath;
21 Tedae te lamloh olhlonah neh amah te, “Boeipaloh a toemngam coeng dongah yut pawttih kumhal duela na khosoih coeng,” a ti nah. (aiōn )
(for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent [of it], Thou [art] priest for ever [according to the order of Melchisedec]; ) (aiōn )
22 Heyet lamlong tah Jesuh he paipi then kah rhi aka khang la om coeng.
by so much Jesus became surety of a better covenant.
23 Te vaengah aka nguel ham te duekloh a kanghalh dongah khosoih la aka omrhoek khaw muep lo uh.
And they have been many priests, on account of being hindered from continuing by death;
24 Tedae kumhal duela aka naeh tih a cak la aka om khosoih khaw amah ni. (aiōn )
but he, because of his continuing for ever, has the priesthood unchangeable. (aiōn )
25 Te dongah anih lamloh Pathen aka paan rhoek khueka khang thai bal. A yoeyah la hing hamte amih yueng la huithui coeng.
Whence also he is able to save completely those who approach by him to God, always living to intercede for them.
26 Tebang hlangcim, ommongsitoe, aka cuem, hlangtholh taeng lamloh aka hoep uh, vaan sang la aka om tah mamih kah khosoihham lam khaw rhoep tloe pai.
For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and become higher than the heavens:
27 Anih tah khosoihhamrhoek banglaa kueknahte hnin takuema khueh moenih. Lamhma kah long tah amah kah tholhnah ham hmueih nawn. Te phoeikah rhoek ni pilnam ham pueng. Hekah long tah amahte bangtlang saii uh tih a nawn.
who has not day by day need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for his own sins, then [for] those of the people; for this he did once for all [in] having offered up himself.
28 Olkhueng loh vawtthoeknah aka om hlangte khosoihhamlaa tuek. Tedae olkhueng hnukah olhlonah ol loh capa te kumhal duelaa soep sak coeng. (aiōn )
For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which [is] after the law, a Son perfected for ever. (aiōn )
