Hebru 7
1 Khohni Pathen kah khosoih, Salem manghai Melkhizedek loh, manghai rhoek tloeknah lamkah aka bal Abraham te a doe tih a uem.
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,
2 A cungkuem lamkah parha ah pakhat te khaw Abraham loh anih a boe. Khatben ah lamhma la, duengnah manghai neh Salem manghai khaw a thuingaih coeng. Te tah ngaimongnah manghai ni.
to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all, who by interpretation is first King of righteousness, and then also was King of Salem, which is, King of peace,
3 Pamueh numueh, rhuirhong mueh, a khohnin a tongnah om pawt tih hingnah a bawtnah khaw khueh pawh. Tedae Pathen capa la om tih kumhal ah khosoih la naeh.
without father, without mother, without record of descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but likened to the Son of God, remaineth a priest for ever.
4 Patuel Abraham long pataeng a kutbuem khuikah parha pakhat a paek atah anih khaw bahoeng len tila hmu uh.
Consider now how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils.
5 Levi ca rhoek long tah a khuikah khosoih te a dang. Olkhueng vanbangla pilnam taengah parha pakhat coi nah olpaek khaw a khueh uh. Tedae Abraham pumpu lamloh ha thoeng boeiloeih tih a manuca la om.
And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the office of the priesthood have a command to take tithes of the people by the Law, that is, of their brethren, though they have come out of the loins of Abraham;
6 Tedae amih kah rhuirhong mueh loh Abraham taengkah parha pakhat a doe tih olkhueh aka dang te a uem.
but he whose descent is not reckoned from them took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.
7 Te dongah a then loh mathoe a uem te boeih pakainah moenih.
And beyond all contradiction the less is blessed by the greater.
8 Te vaengah hlang duek loh parha pakhat te a dang dae hing tila pahoi a phong pah.
And here indeed men that die receive tithes; but there he of whom it is testified that he liveth.
9 Te phoeiah olka a thui vanbangla Abraham lamlong ni Levi long khaw a doe parha pakhat te a dang.
And so to speak, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham;
10 Melkhizedek loh anih a doe vaengah Levi he a napa kah a pumpu ah ni a om pueng.
for he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
11 Levi khosoih lamloh hmakhahnah a om tangloeng atah pilnam loh amah soah ol a rhi coeng. Melkhizedek kah aitlaeng bangla a tloe khosoih aka phoe taengah banim a ngoe pueng? Aron kah aitlaeng bangla khue pawt nim?
If indeed perfection had been by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people hath received the Law, ) what further need was there that a different priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called alter the order of Aaron?
12 Khosoih bi te a thovael vaengah olkhueng kah thovaelnah khaw a kueknah om.
For if the priesthood is changed, there takes place of necessity a change of the law.
13 Amah kawng a 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 spoken belonged to another tribe, of which no one hath given attendance at 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 well-known that our Lord sprang out of Judah, in regard to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
15 Te phoeiah a cimphan la muep om pueng. Melkhizedek kah mueiloh bangla khosoih a tloe a phoe mak atah.
And it is still more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth a different priest,
16 Anih tah pumsa olpaek kah olkhueng dongah om pawt tih aka nguel hingnah kah thaomnah dongah ni a om.
who hath been made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life.
For it is testified of him, “Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Olpaek lamhma he tattloel tih a hloo dongah a hnawt a khoe la poeh.
For on the one hand there takes place an annulling of the commandment which went before, on account of 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 on the other, the bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God.
20 Te tlam khaw olhlonah tal aih pawt dae, amih tah olhlonah om muehla khosoih a bi uh ngawn ta.
And inasmuch as it was not without an oath that he was made priest,
21 Tedae te lamloh olhlonah neh amah te, “Boeipa loh a toemngam coeng dongah yut pawt tih kumhal duela na khosoih coeng,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
—for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him who said to him, “The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever,”— (aiōn g165)
22 Heyet lamlong tah Jesuh he paipi then kah rhi aka khang la om coeng.
by so much hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.
23 Te vaengah aka nguel ham te duek loh a kanghalh dongah khosoih la aka om rhoek khaw muep lo uh.
And they indeed have been many priests, because they have been prevented from continuing by reason of death;
but he, because he abideth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood; (aiōn g165)
25 Te dongah anih lamloh Pathen aka paan rhoek khuek a khang thai bal. A yoeyah la hing ham te amih yueng la huithui coeng.
wherefore he is able also to save to the utmost those who come to God through him, since he ever liveth to make intercession 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 also became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Anih tah khosoihham rhoek bangla a kueknah te hnin takuem a khueh moenih. Lamhma kah long tah amah kah tholhnah ham hmueih nawn. Te phoeikah rhoek ni pilnam ham pueng. Hekah long tah amah te bangtlang saii uh tih a nawn.
who hath not necessity daily, as the high-priests, to offer up sacrifice first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.
28 Olkhueng loh vawtthoeknah aka om hlang te khosoihham la a tuek. Tedae olkhueng hnukah olhlonah ol loh capa te kumhal duela a soep sak coeng. (aiōn g165)
For the Law maketh men high-priests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the Law, maketh the Son, who is perfected for ever. (aiōn g165)
