Hebru 7
1 Melkhizedek teh Salem siangpahrang, ka lentoe poung Cathut e vaihma lah ao. Abraham ni taran a tuk teh tânae hoi bout a ban nah Melkhizedek ni a dawn teh yawhawi a poe.
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 Abraham ni taran kutnaw koehoi a thokhai e, hnopainaw pueng pung hra pung touh Melkhizedek koe a poe. Apasuekpoung lah Melkhizedek tie teh ‘lannae Siangpahrang tinae doeh. Apâhni lah Salem siangpahrang lah ao dawkvah ‘lungmawngnae siangpahrang tinae lah ao.
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 Ahni teh a manu a na pa tawn hoeh, a miphun tawn hoeh, a khenae hoi a duenae hai tawn hoeh. Ahni teh Cathut e capa patetlah ao teh, a yungyoe vaihma lah ao.
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 Mintoe Abraham ni a hmu e hnopainaw pung hra pung touh a poe teh hete tami teh banghloimaw a lentoe tie hah pouk awh haw.
Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.
5 Vaihma lah rawi e Levih canaw teh Abraham e miphun lah ao. A hmaunawnghanaw kut dawk hoi kâpoelawk patetlah pung hra pung touh coe thainae a tawn awh. Ahnimanaw teh Abraham koehoi ka tho e a hmaunawnghanaw lah ao awh.
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 Hatei, ahnimae miphun lah kaawm hoeh e hote bawi ni Abraham koehoi pung hra pung touh a coe teh, lawkkamnae ka coe e Abraham hah yawhawinae a poe.
But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7 Kacue niyah kanaw yawhawinae a poe e hah oun hanelah awm hoeh.
And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 Hothloilah, atuvah kadout thai e taminaw ni pung hra pung touh a coe awh. Hatei, hatnae tueng dawk teh a hring telah kapanuekkhaikung ni pung hra pung touh a coe e lah ao.
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 Hahoi, pung hra pung touh ka coe e Levih haiyah Abraham koehoi pung hra pung touh a poe toe telah ti thai awh.
And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Melkhizedek ni Abraham a kâhmo navah Levih teh a na pa e atak thung vah ao rah.
For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.
11 Hahoi, Levih miphun koehoi ka tho e vaihma phun hoi kâkuen lah taminaw ni kâlawk hah coe awh dawkvah, hote phun lahoi kuepcingnae koe phat thai pawiteh, Aron patetlah e laipalah, Melkhizedek patetlah e a tho hane bangkongmaw a panki rah.
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 Vaihma miphun kâthung pawiteh kâlawk hai kâthung laipalah awm thai hoeh.
For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.
13 Bangkongtetpawiteh, dei tangcoung e ni a takhi e Bawipa teh, thuengnae thaw ka tawk boihoeh rae miphun hoi a kâkuet
He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
14 Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimae Bawipa teh Judah miphun dawk hoi a tâco tie teh a kamceng. Hote miphun teh vaihma hoi a kâkuet telah Mosi ni kam touh hai dei boihoeh.
For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.
15 Hahoi, Melkhizedek patetlah alouke vaihma teh, yo awm toung pawiteh, vaihma miphun a kâthung toe tie hoe a kamceng.
And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
16 Hote vaihma teh kâpoelawk lahoi rawi e tho hoeh, yungyoe hringnae bahu lahoi rawi e doeh.
one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.
17 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh Melkhizedek patetlah yungyoe e vaihma lah na o, telah a kampangkhai. (aiōn g165)
For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Kâlawk teh a thayoun teh kuepnae a poe thai hoeh dawkvah, takhoe e lah ao toe.
So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
19 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kâlawk ni apipatet hai lannae koe phat sak thai hoeh. Hatei atuvah hoe ka talue e ngaihawinae a tho dawkvah, maimouh teh hote ngaihawinae lahoi Cathut koe rek hnai awh.
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
20 Ahnimouh teh thoebonae lah awm laipalah vaihma lah ao awh.
And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
21 Jisuh teh thoebonae awm laipalah vaihma lah awm hoeh. Cathut ni nang teh Melkhizedek patetlah yungyoe vaihma lah na o telah thoe a bo teh, a lung bout a kâthung hoeh e patetlah Jisuh ni thoebonae lahoi vaihma lah ao e patetlah, (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 hoe kahawi e lawkkam kacaksakkung lah ao.
Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 Ahnimouh haiyah a due awh teh, thaw pou a tawk thai awh hoeh dawkvah, tami moikapap vaihma lah ao awh.
Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood. (aiōn g165)
25 Hatdawkvah, apipatet hai thoseh, Jisuh lahoi Cathut koe kahnai e hah a rungngang thai katang. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa teh ahnimouh hane pahrennae hei hanlah a yungyoe poe a hring.
Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.
26 Hot patetlah e Vaihma Kacue teh a thoung teh khinnae tawn hoeh, tamikayonnaw hoi kamyawng hoeh. Kalvannaw pueng hlak a rasanghnawn dawkvah maimouh han lah a kamcu.
Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
27 Alouke vaihma kacuenaw teh ama hane yon thuengnae thoseh, taminaw hane yon thuengnae thoseh, hnintangkuem a sak e patetlah hote Bawipa teh ama hanlah yon thuengnae sak ngai hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, amahoima vai touh hoi thuengnae a sak teh hote thaw teh a cum toe.
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 Kâlawk niteh yon ka tawn e tami hah vaihma kacue lah a rawi. Hatei, kâlawk hnukkhu vah ka tho e thoebo lawk niteh a yungyoe kakuep e Capa doeh a rawi. (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)
