UMelikhizedekhi lo wayeyinkosi yaseSalemu lomphristi kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke. Wahlangabeza u-Abhrahama evela kwehlula amakhosi, wambusisa,

u-Abhrahama wamnika okwetshumi kwakho konke. Okwakuqala, ibizo elithi Melikhizedekhi litsho ukuthi “Nkosi yokulunga”; lokuthi futhi, “Nkosi yaseSalemu” kutsho ukuthi “Nkosi yokuthula.”

Engelayise loba unina, engelamdabuko, engelakuqala kwensuku loba ukuphela kokuphila njengeNdodana kaNkulunkulu uhlezi engumphristi nini lanini.

Ake licabange ukuthi wayemkhulu kangakanani: Lokhokho u-Abhrahama wamnika okwetshumi kwempango!
5 ⲉ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲗⲉⲩⲓ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϭⲓ ⳿ⲛϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲃ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϭⲓ ⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲕⲉⲡⲉⲣ ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧϯⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ.
Khathesi umthetho ufuna abenzalo kaLevi ababa ngabaphristi ukuba baqoqe okwetshumi ebantwini, lokhu kutsho abafowabo lanxa abafowabo beyinzalo ka-Abhrahama.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁϥϭⲓ ⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
Umuntu lo kazange alonde umdabuko wakhe usukela kuLevi kodwa waqoqa okwetshumi ku-Abhrahama njalo wambusisa yena lowo owayelezithembiso.
Kakulakuthandabuza ukuthi umuntu omncinyane ubusiswa ngomkhulu.
Kwesinye isehlakalo, okwetshumi kuthathwa ngabantu abafayo kodwa kwesinye isehlakalo kube ngulowo okuthiwe uyaphila.
Umuntu angatsho lokuthi uLevi oqoqa okwetshumi, wanikela okwetshumi ngo-Abhrahama
ngoba lapho uMelikhizedekhi ehlangabeza u-Abhrahama uLevi wayelokhu esesemzimbeni kakhokho wakhe.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲗⲉⲩⲓⲧⲏ ⲥ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲥ ⲓⲉ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲧⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲏⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲁ⳿ⲁⲣⲱⲛ.
Nxa ukuphelela kwakungatholakala ngobuphristi babaLevi njalo ngempela umthetho owaphiwa abantu wasungula lobobuphristi, pho kungani kwakulokhu kudingeka ukuba omunye umphristi abuye evela emkhondweni kaMelikhizedekhi, engasiwemkhondweni ka-Aroni na?
Ngoba lapho kulokuguqulwa kobuphristi, kufanele kube lokuguqulwa komthetho futhi.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ⲁϥ ϭⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲕⲉⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ ϯ⳿ϩⲑⲏϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣϣⲱⲟⲩϣⲓ.
Yena lowo okutshiwo lezizinto ngaye ngowesinye isizwana njalo kakho owalesosizwana owake wakhonza e-alithareni.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲫ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁ ⲧⲁⲓⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲃ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ.
Ngoba kusobala ukuba iNkosi yethu yadabuka koJuda njalo mayelana lalesosizwana uMosi katshongo lutho ngabaphristi.
Njalo lokhu esesikutshilo kucace kakhulu nxa omunye umphristi onjengoMelikhizedekhi evela,
omunye obe ngumphristi kungayisikho komthetho ngokosendo lwakhe kodwa ngokumayelana lamandla okuphila okungeke kuchithwe.
Ngoba kumenyezelwe ukuthi: “Wena ungumphristi kuze kube nini lanini, emkhondweni kaMelikhizedekhi.” (aiōn g165)
Umthetho wakuqala ubekwe eceleni ngoba wawubuthakathaka njalo ungelasizo
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϫⲉⲕ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϧⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ.
(ngoba umthetho kawenzanga lutho olupheleleyo) ngakho kulethwa ithemba elitsha esisondela ngalo kuNkulunkulu.
Njalo kwakungayisikho ngaphandle kwesifungo! Abanye babangabaphristi kungekho sifungo,
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲑⲏϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲏⲃ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōn g165)
kodwa yena waba ngumphristi ngesifungo lapho uNkulunkulu athi kuye: “INkosi ifungile njalo kayiyikuguqula ingqondo yayo: ‘Wena ungumphristi kuze kube nini lanini.’” (aiōn g165)
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲁⲓⲙⲁⲓⲏ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡ⳿ϣⲧⲱⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲥⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲉⲙⲛⲏ ⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲱϣ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲡ.
Ngenxa yesifungo lesi, uJesu usebe yisiqiniselo sesivumelwano esingcono.
Abaphristi labo sebebanengi njengoba babevinjelwa yikufa ukuba baqhubeke besezikhundleni;
kodwa uJesu uphila kuze kube laphakade, ulobuphristi obuyisimakade. (aiōn g165)

Umphristi omkhulu onjalo wagcwalisa izinswelo zethu, ongongcwele, ongelasici, lohlanzekileyo, lowehlukaniswe lezoni, lophakanyiselwe ngaphezu kwamazulu.

Hatshi njengabanye abaphristi abakhulu, yena kadingi kunikela imihlatshelo insuku zonke, kuqala eyezono zakhe, kulandele owezono zabantu. Wabenzela umhlatshelo wezono zabo kwaba kanye kuphela lapho ezinikela.
