< Hebrews 7 >

1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
Melikisedeki mwenuyo avi nkosi wa Salemu, na Mteta mkulu wa Chapanga mweavi kunani neju. Ibulahimu peawuyayi kuhuma ku ngondo kweavakomili vankosi, Melikisedeki akonganiki nayu, namwene Melikisedeki ammotisi,
2 to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”,
na Ibulahimu ampelili lilundu la kumi pa vindu vyoha vyeanyagili kungondo. Mana ya liina Meilikisedeki, “Nkosi mbwina palongolo Chapanga,” Muni avi Nkosi wa Salemu liina laki mewa mana yaki “Nkosi wa uteke.”
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
Avi lepi na dadi amala mau mewa avi lepi na lukolo, kawaka mundu mweimanya avelekiwi ndali amala afwili ndali. Iwanangana na Mwana wa Chapanga, na iyendelela kuvya Mteta Mkulu magono goha gangali mwishu.
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
Hinu, mhololela mundu uyu cheavili mkulu. Hati Gogo witu Ibulahimu ampelili lilundu la kumi pa vindu vyoha vyeanyagili ku ngondo.
5 They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
Kulandana na Mihilu ya Chapanga, yikuvahamula vachiveleku va Lawi ndi vamteta vakulu va Chapanga, viganikiwa kupokela lilundu limonga pagati ya kumi kuhuma kwa valongo vavi vandu va Isilaeli, pamonga vene valongo vavi ndi vachiveleku va Ibulahimu.
6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
Nambu Melikisedeki mwenuyu avi lepi wa Chiveleku cha Lawi, nambu apokili lilundu la kumi kuhuma kwa Ibulahimu, kavili ammotisi mwene mweapewili lilagizu na Chapanga.
7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
Na timanyili bwina kuvya mkulu ndi mweakummotisa mdebe.
8 Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
Kangi mu lijambu lenili vakulu va kuteta va Chapanga vevipokela lilundu la kumi, ndi vandu vevifwa, nambu Melikisedeki mweapokili lilundu la kumi yijoveka kuvya ifwa lepi.
9 We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
Kangi, tihotola kujova kuvya, Ibulahimu peawusili lilundu la kumi, mewawa Lawi pamonga vachiveleku vaki ndi vevipokela lilundu la kumi mewa Lawi awusili lilundu la kumi ndava muni avi chiveleku cha Ibulahimu.
10 for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
Ndava Melikisedeki peakonganiki na Ibulahimu, Lawi avi akona kuvelekewa, avi akona muhiga ya dadi waki.
11 Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Vandu va Isilaeli vapewili malagizu mumkingisa wa uteta wa Valawi. Ngati lihengu la uteta lavi kamilifu, ngayiganikiwi lepi kuhumila mteta yungi wa Chapanga mweiwanangana na Melikisedeki, na lepi Aloni.
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
Ndava muni uteta wa Chapanga wakang'anamuka, malagizu na gene mewawa ging'anamuka.
13 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
Na Bambu witu ndi mambu goha getijova ndava yaki, avi wa likabila lingi na kawaka hati mmonga wa likabila laki mweahengili pa lusanja lwa luteta ngati mteta Chapanga.
14 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
Timanyili hotohoto kuvya Bambu witu ihuma mu likabila la Yuda, Musa aliluwili lepi peajovili kuuvala lukolo lwenulo mu mambu ga vamteta va Chapanga.
15 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
Kangi lijambu lenili lilangisa hotohoto neju, malovi aga, ahumalili mteta yungi mweavi ngati Melikisedeki.
16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
Mwene akitiwi lepi mteta wa Chapanga kwa malagizu na malagizu ga chimundu, nambu kwa makakala ga wumi wangali mwishu.
17 for it is testified, "You are a priest for the age (aiōn g165), according to the order of Melchizedek."
Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Veve ndi Mteta wa Chapanga wa magono goha gangali mwishu ngati cheuvili uteta wa Melikisedeki.” (aiōn g165)
18 For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
Hinu, mhilu wula wa kadeni yavikiwi pamuhana ndava yangali makakala na yangafaya chindu.
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
Muni Malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa gangahotola kukamilisa lijambu loloha. Nambu hinu, pandu paki pavikiwi huvalila yabwina neju yeyihotosa kumhegelela Chapanga papipi.
20 Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
Neju ya genago, apa pavi na chilapu cha Chapanga. Lukumbi vala vangi pavakitiwi vamteta va Chapanga pangali chilapu chochoha.
21 (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest for the age (aiōn g165), according to the order of Melchizedek.'"
Nambu Yesu ahengiwi kuvya Mteta kwa chilapu lukumbi Chapanga peamjovili, “Bambu alapili, kangi ing'anamuka lepi maholo gaki, ‘Veve ndi mteta wa Chapanga magono goha gangali mwishu.’” (aiōn g165)
22 By so much, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
Hinu, ndava ya kulapa kwenuko, Yesu ndi ulangisu wa chakaka wa kutilangisa tivii na huvalila ya lilaganu labwina neju.
23 Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
Kangi kwavi na vamteta vangi vamahele va lilaganu la kadeni, vangahotola kuyendelela na lihengu lavi ndava vafwili.
24 But he, because he lives for the age (aiōn g165), has his priesthood unchangeable.
Nambu Yesu itama magono goha gangali mwishu, na uteta waki wihotoleka lepi kupewa mundu yungi. (aiōn g165)
25 Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
Ndava yeniyo, mwene ihotola kuvasangula voha vevakumhambila Chapanga kwa njila yaki, ndava itama magono goha gangali mwishu, muni avayupila kwa Chapanga.
26 For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
Muni taganikiwi kuvya na Mteta Mkulu ngati mwenuyu mweavi Msopi na angabuda na mwangambudila Chapanga. Mweabaguliwi kutali na vevakumbudila Chapanga, na mweatoliwi kunani neju kwa Chapanga.
27 who does not need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
Mwene avi lepi ngati vamteta vakulu vangi, iganikiwa lepi kuwusa luteta lwa kuhinjwa hinyama kila ligono, ndava ya kubuda kwaki mwene kavili ndava ya kubuda kwa vandu vangi. Mwene ajiwusili kuvya luteta mala yimonga ndu mu lukumbi lwoha.
28 For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son for the age (aiōn g165) who has been perfected.
Malagizu ga Musa gakuvahagula vandu vangolongondi kuvya vamteta vakulu va Chapanga, nambu malagizu ga Chapanga gahengili kwa chilapu chechibwela palongolo ya malagizu, gamhagwili Mwana mweakitiwi mkamilifu magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōn g165)
