Ŵaebulania 7
1 Melikisedeki ŵaliji mwenye jwa musi wa Salemu ni jwambopesi jwa Akunnungu Ŵakulu. Che Iblahimu paŵaujaga kungondo kuŵauleje mamwenye kula, ŵasimene ni Melikisedeki ni Melikisedeki ŵampele upile che Iblahimu.
It was this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.
2 Che Iblahimu nombe ŵampele liunjili lya kakumi lya indu iŵaijigele kungondo. Malumbo ga liina Melikisedeki gali “Mwenye jwakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu”, ni sooni mwenye jwa ku Salemu malumbo gakwe “Mwenye jwa chitendewele.”
It was to him that Abraham gave a tenth of everything. His name “Melchizedek” means “king of righteousness.” His other title is “king of Salem,” that is, “king of peace.”
3 Ngapagwa papalembekwe Mmalembo ga Akunnungu liina lya atatigwe Melikisedeki atamuno liina lya achikulugwe, ngapagwa jwakwimanyilila ŵapagwile chakachi atamuno ŵawile chakachi. Nombewo akulandana ni Mwana jwa Akunnungu, jwelejo chapunde kuŵa Jwambopesi kwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
He is without father, without mother, without ancestors, with neither beginning of days nor end of life. Instead, he resembles the Son of God, because he remains a priest forever.
4 Nipele, nnoleje yatite kuŵa jwankulu mundu jo. Ambuje ŵetu che Iblahimu ŵampele liunjili lya kakumi lya indu iŵaijigele kungondo.
See how great this man was to whom the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the things that he had taken in battle.
5 Tukumanyilila kuti malajisyo gakuti ŵanache ŵa che Lawi ŵaŵaliji ŵambopesi ni ŵakusachilwa kupochela liunjili lya kakumi kutyochela kwa ŵandu ŵa Isilaeli, ŵaali achalongo achinjao, nachiŵamuno ni ŵanyawo ali uŵelesi u che Iblahimu.
The sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have a command from the law to collect tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, even though they, too, have come from Abraham's body.
6 Melikisedeki nganaŵa mundu jwa lukosyo lu che Lawi nambo ŵajigele liunjili lya kakumi kutyochela ku che Iblahimu ni sooni ŵampele upile che Iblahimu juŵapegwilwe chilanga ni Akunnungu.
But Melchizedek, whose descent was not traced from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him, the one who had the promises.
7 Nambo pangapangwa makani gati jwankulungwa ni jwakumpa upile jwannandi.
There is no denying that the lesser person is blessed by the greater person.
8 Ŵambopesi ŵakwigala liunjili lya kumi ŵala ali ŵandu ŵachawe lyuŵa limo, nambo che Melikisedeki juŵapochele liunjili lya kakumi akuŵalanjilwa umboni kuti ali jwanjumi mpela yagakuti Malembelo ga Akunnungu
In this case, mortal men receive tithes, but in that case it is testified that he lives on.
9 Nipele, tukukombola kusala kuti che Iblahimu paŵatyosisye liunjili lya kakumi, namose che Lawi juŵaliji jwa uŵelesi u che Iblahimu pamo ni uŵelesi wao, ŵatyosisye liunjili lya kakumi.
And, in a manner of speaking, Levi, who received tithes, also paid tithes through Abraham,
10 Pakuŵa ikuŵechetekwa kuti Melikisedeki paŵasimene ni che Iblahimu, che Lawi ŵaliji akanaŵe kupagwa, ŵaliji mmiasi ja ambujegwe che Iblahimu.
because Levi was in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
11 Kopochela mu umbopesi wa Ŵalawi ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli ŵapegwilwe lilajisyo. Sambano iŵaga masengo ga umbopesi u che Lawi gamalile ngakukasachilwe kutyochela umbopesi wine waukuyiye umbopesi wa Melikisedeki ni ngaŵa umbopesi u che Haluni.
Now if perfection were possible through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the manner of Melchizedek, and not be considered to be after the manner of Aaron?
12 Pakuŵa pakukutyochela kupisyangana kwa chimbopesi, ikuŵajila kugagalausya malajisyo.
For when the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed.
13 Ni Ambuje ŵetu jwakuŵechetwa mu yeleyo ali jwa lukosyo lwine, nganapagwa namose jumo jwa lukosyo lwao juŵatumichile pa chilisa nti jwambopesi.
For the one about whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
14 Pakuŵa ikumanyika kuti Ambuje ŵetu ŵatyochele mu lukosyo lwa Yuda ni yankati lukosyo lo che Musa nganaŵecheta chindu chachili chose yankati umbopesi.
Now clearly, it is from Judah that our Lord was born, a tribe that Moses never mentioned concerning priests.
15 Sooni achi chikumanyika mwakupunda, kuti jwambopesi jwine jwakulandana ni Melikisedeki akopochele.
What we say is clearer yet if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek.
16 Jwele nganatendekwa aŵe jwambopesi kwa malajisyo ga ŵandu, nambo kwa machili ga umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
It was not based on the law of fleshly descent that he became a priest, but instead was based on the power of an everlasting life.
17 Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gaŵalanjile umboni wati, “Mmwejo ndi Jwambopesi mpela wautite pakuŵa umbopesi wa Melikisedeki.” (aiōn g165)
For scripture witnesses about him: “You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Kwayele, alila lilajisyo lya kalakala lyaŵichikwe pambali, pakuŵa lyaliji lyakulepetala nombelyo lyaliji lyangali chindu,
For the former regulation is set aside because it is weak and useless,
19 pakuŵa malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ngagakukombola kupanganya chindu chiŵe chakumalilwa. Nambo sambano peuto pakwe, kuichisye chilolelo chambone nnope ni kwa litala lya chilolelo cho, tukukombola kwaŵandichila Akunnungu.
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, through which we come near to God.
20 Kupunda yeleyo, apano chipali chilumbilo cha Akunnungu. Nambo ŵandu ŵane wo ŵatendekwe kuŵa ŵambopesi pangali chilumbilo.
And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath,
21 Nambo Che Yesu atendekwe Jwambopesi nkulumbila, katema Akunnungu paŵansalile, “Ambuje alumbile ni ngasagalausya ‘Mmwejo ni jwambopesi kwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.’” (aiōn g165)
but he became a priest when God said to him, “The Lord has sworn and he will not change his mind: 'You are a priest forever.'” (aiōn g165)
22 Kwa ligongo lya chilumbilo chi, Che Yesu atendekwe chimanyisyo chachikulosya kuti isyene tukwete lilangano lyalili lyambone mwakupunda.
By this also Jesus has given the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 Sooni ŵambopesi ŵane ŵajinji ŵa lilangano lya kalakala, chiwa chalekasisye kwendelechela kupanganya masengo.
The former priests were many in number, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
24 Nambo Che Yesu nganaŵa mpela ŵanyawo ni akutama moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni umbopesi wakwe ngaukukombola kupegwa mundu jwine. (aiōn g165)
But because Jesus continues to live forever, he has a permanent priesthood. (aiōn g165)
25 Ligongo li akupakombola kwakulupusya kusyene ŵelewo ŵakwaŵandichila Akunnungu kwa litala lyao pakuŵa akutama moŵa gose kuti ŵapopeleleje kwa Akunnungu.
Therefore he is also able to save completely those who approach God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
26 Pakuŵa twasachilwe uweji tukole Jwambopesi Jwankulu jwanti nyi, yaani jwali jwanswela, jwangali chileŵo namose sambi ni jwalekangenywe ni ŵandu ŵa sambi, ni kunyakulikwa mwinani kupunda kwinani.
For such a high priest is suitable for us. He is sinless, blameless, pure, separated from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens.
27 Jwelejo ngakulandana ni ŵambopesi achakulu ŵane ŵakusachilwa kutyosya mbopesi kila lyuŵa, kaje akutaga mbopesi kwa sambi syakwe nsyene, ni sooni kwa sambi sya ŵandu. Pakuŵa jwelejo ŵatesile kamo pe kwakatema kose paŵalityosisye nsyene kuwa.
He does not need, unlike the high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He did this once for all, when he offered himself.
28 Malajisyo ga che Musa gakwasagula ŵandu ŵakulepetala kuŵa ŵambopesi achakulu, nambo lilangano lya Akunnungu liŵaŵisile kwa kulumbila ni sooni lilyaiche mu nyuma mwa malajisyo lyambisile Mwana, jwatendekwe jwamalilwe kwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn g165)
For the law appoints as high priests men who have weaknesses. But the word of the oath, which came after the law, appointed a Son, who has been made perfect forever. (aiōn g165)
