< 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,
ཤཱལམསྱ རཱཛཱ སཪྻྭོཔརིསྠསྱེཤྭརསྱ ཡཱཛཀཤྩ སན྄ ཡོ ནྲྀཔཏཱིནཱཾ མཱརཎཱཏ྄ པྲཏྱཱགཏམ྄ ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམཾ སཱཀྵཱཏྐྲྀཏྱཱཤིཥཾ གདིཏཝཱན྄,
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”,
ཡསྨཻ ཙེབྲཱཧཱིམ྄ སཪྻྭདྲཝྱཱཎཱཾ དཤམཱཾཤཾ དཏྟཝཱན྄ ས མལྐཱིཥེདཀ྄ སྭནཱམྣོ྅རྠེན པྲཐམཏོ དྷརྨྨརཱཛཿ པཤྩཱཏ྄ ཤཱལམསྱ རཱཛཱརྠཏཿ ཤཱནྟིརཱཛོ བྷཝཏི།
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.
ཨཔརཾ ཏསྱ པིཏཱ མཱཏཱ ཝཾཤསྱ ནིརྞཡ ཨཱཡུཥ ཨཱརམྦྷོ ཛཱིཝནསྱ ཤེཥཤྩཻཏེཥཱམ྄ ཨབྷཱཝོ བྷཝཏི, ཨིཏྠཾ ས ཨཱིཤྭརཔུཏྲསྱ སདྲྀཤཱིཀྲྀཏཿ, ས ཏྭནནྟཀཱལཾ ཡཱཝད྄ ཡཱཛཀསྟིཥྛཏི།
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
ཨཏཨེཝཱསྨཱཀཾ པཱུཪྻྭཔུརུཥ ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམ྄ ཡསྨཻ ལུཋིཏདྲཝྱཱཎཱཾ དཤམཱཾཤཾ དཏྟཝཱན྄ ས ཀཱིདྲྀཀ྄ མཧཱན྄ ཏད྄ ཨཱལོཙཡཏ།
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,
ཡཱཛཀཏྭཔྲཱཔྟཱ ལེཝེཿ སནྟཱནཱ ཝྱཝསྠཱནུསཱརེཎ ལོཀེབྷྱོ྅རྠཏ ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམོ ཛཱཏེབྷྱཿ སྭཱིཡབྷྲཱཏྲྀབྷྱོ དཤམཱཾཤགྲཧཎསྱཱདེཤཾ ལབྡྷཝནྟཿ།
6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
ཀིནྟྭསཽ ཡདྱཔི ཏེཥཱཾ ཝཾཤཱཏ྄ ནོཏྤནྣསྟཐཱཔཱིབྲཱཧཱིམོ དཤམཱཾཤཾ གྲྀཧཱིཏཝཱན྄ པྲཏིཛྙཱནཱམ྄ ཨདྷིཀཱརིཎམ྄ ཨཱཤིཥཾ གདིཏཝཱཾཤྩ།
7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
ཨཔརཾ ཡཿ ཤྲེཡཱན྄ ས ཀྵུདྲཏརཱཡཱཤིཥཾ དདཱཏཱིཏྱཏྲ ཀོ྅པི སནྡེཧོ ནཱསྟི།
8 Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
ཨཔརམ྄ ཨིདཱནཱིཾ ཡེ དཤམཱཾཤཾ གྲྀཧླནྟི ཏེ མྲྀཏྱོརདྷཱིནཱ མཱནཝཱཿ ཀིནྟུ ཏདཱནཱིཾ ཡོ གྲྀཧཱིཏཝཱན྄ ས ཛཱིཝཏཱིཏིཔྲམཱཎཔྲཱཔྟཿ།
9 We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
ཨཔརཾ དཤམཱཾཤགྲཱཧཱི ལེཝིརཔཱིབྲཱཧཱིམྡྭཱརཱ དཤམཱཾཤཾ དཏྟཝཱན྄ ཨེཏདཔི ཀཐཡིཏུཾ ཤཀྱཏེ།
10 for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
ཡཏོ ཡདཱ མལྐཱིཥེདཀ྄ ཏསྱ པིཏརཾ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄ ཏདཱནཱིཾ ས ལེཝིཿ པིཏུརུརསྱཱསཱིཏ྄།
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?
ཨཔརཾ ཡསྱ སམྦནྡྷེ ལོཀཱ ཝྱཝསྠཱཾ ལབྡྷཝནྟསྟེན ལེཝཱིཡཡཱཛཀཝརྒེཎ ཡདི སིདྡྷིཿ སམབྷཝིཥྱཏ྄ ཏརྷི ཧཱརོཎསྱ ཤྲེཎྱཱ མདྷྱཱད྄ ཡཱཛཀཾ ན ནིརཱུཔྱེཤྭརེཎ མལྐཱིཥེདཀཿ ཤྲེཎྱཱ མདྷྱཱད྄ ཨཔརསྱཻཀསྱ ཡཱཛཀསྱོཏྠཱཔནཾ ཀུཏ ཨཱཝཤྱཀམ྄ ཨབྷཝིཥྱཏ྄?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
ཡཏོ ཡཱཛཀཝརྒསྱ ཝིནིམཡེན སུཏརཱཾ ཝྱཝསྠཱཡཱ ཨཔི ཝིནིམཡོ ཛཱཡཏེ།
13 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
ཨཔརཉྩ ཏད྄ ཝཱཀྱཾ ཡསྱོདྡེཤྱཾ སོ྅པརེཎ ཝཾཤེན སཾཡུཀྟཱ྅སྟི ཏསྱ ཝཾཤསྱ ཙ ཀོ྅པི ཀདཱཔི ཝེདྱཱཿ ཀརྨྨ ན ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄།
14 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
ཝསྟུཏསྟུ ཡཾ ཝཾཤམདྷི མཱུསཱ ཡཱཛཀཏྭསྱཻཀཱཾ ཀཐཱམཔི ན ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཏསྨིན྄ ཡིཧཱུདཱཝཾཤེ྅སྨཱཀཾ པྲབྷུ རྫནྨ གྲྀཧཱིཏཝཱན྄ ཨིཏི སུསྤཥྚཾ།
15 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
ཏསྱ སྤཥྚཏརམ྄ ཨཔརཾ པྲམཱཎམིདཾ ཡཏ྄ མལྐཱིཥེདཀཿ སཱདྲྀཤྱཝཏཱཔརེཎ ཏཱདྲྀཤེན ཡཱཛཀེནོདེཏཝྱཾ,
16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
ཡསྱ ནིརཱུཔཎཾ ཤརཱིརསམྦནྡྷཱིཡཝིདྷིཡུཀྟཡཱ ཝྱཝསྠཱཡཱ ན བྷཝཏི ཀིནྟྭཀྵཡཛཱིཝནཡུཀྟཡཱ ཤཀྟྱཱ བྷཝཏི།
17 for it is testified, "You are a priest for the age (aiōn ), according to the order of Melchizedek."
ཡཏ ཨཱིཤྭར ཨིདཾ སཱཀྵྱཾ དཏྟཝཱན྄, ཡཐཱ, "ཏྭཾ མཀླཱིཥེདཀཿ ཤྲེཎྱཱཾ ཡཱཛཀོ྅སི སདཱཏནཿ། " (aiōn )
18 For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
ཨནེནཱགྲཝརྟྟིནོ ཝིདྷེ དུརྦྦལཏཱཡཱ ནིཥྥལཏཱཡཱཤྩ ཧེཏོརརྠཏོ ཝྱཝསྠཡཱ ཀིམཔི སིདྡྷཾ ན ཛཱཏམིཏིཧེཏོསྟསྱ ལོཔོ བྷཝཏི།
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
ཡཡཱ ཙ ཝཡམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ ནིཀཊཝརྟྟིནོ བྷཝཱམ ཨེཏཱདྲྀཤཱི ཤྲེཥྛཔྲཏྱཱཤཱ སཾསྠཱཔྱཏེ།
20 Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
ཨཔརཾ ཡཱིཤུཿ ཤཔཐཾ ཝིནཱ ན ནིཡུཀྟསྟསྨཱདཔི ས ཤྲེཥྛནིཡམསྱ མདྷྱསྠོ ཛཱཏཿ།
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 ), according to the order of Melchizedek.'"
ཡཏསྟེ ཤཔཐཾ ཝིནཱ ཡཱཛཀཱ ཛཱཏཱཿ ཀིནྟྭསཽ ཤཔཐེན ཛཱཏཿ ཡཏཿ ས ཨིདམུཀྟཿ, ཡཐཱ,
22 By so much, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
"པརམེཤ ཨིདཾ ཤེཔེ ན ཙ ཏསྨཱནྣིཝརྟྶྱཏེ། ཏྭཾ མལྐཱིཥེདཀཿ ཤྲེཎྱཱཾ ཡཱཛཀོ྅སི སདཱཏནཿ། " (aiōn )
23 Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
ཏེ ཙ བཧཝོ ཡཱཛཀཱ ཨབྷཝན྄ ཡཏསྟེ མྲྀཏྱུནཱ ནིཏྱསྠཱཡིཏྭཱཏ྄ ནིཝཱརིཏཱཿ,
24 But he, because he lives for the age (aiōn ), has his priesthood unchangeable.
ཀིནྟྭསཱཝནནྟཀཱལཾ ཡཱཝཏ྄ ཏིཥྛཏི ཏསྨཱཏ྄ ཏསྱ ཡཱཛཀཏྭཾ ན པརིཝརྟྟནཱིཡཾ། (aiōn )
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.
ཏཏོ ཧེཏོ ཪྻེ མཱནཝཱསྟེནེཤྭརསྱ སནྣིདྷིཾ གཙྪནྟི ཏཱན྄ ས ཤེཥཾ ཡཱཝཏ྄ པརིཏྲཱཏུཾ ཤཀྣོཏི ཡཏསྟེཥཱཾ ཀྲྀཏེ པྲཱརྠནཱཾ ཀརྟྟུཾ ས སཏཏཾ ཛཱིཝཏི།
26 For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
ཨཔརམ྄ ཨསྨཱཀཾ ཏཱདྲྀཤམཧཱཡཱཛཀསྱ པྲཡོཛནམཱསཱིད྄ ཡཿ པཝིཏྲོ ྅ཧིཾསཀོ ནིཥྐལངྐཿ པཱཔིབྷྱོ བྷིནྣཿ སྭརྒཱདཔྱུཙྩཱིཀྲྀཏཤྩ སྱཱཏ྄།
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.
ཨཔརཾ མཧཱཡཱཛཀཱནཱཾ ཡཐཱ ཏཐཱ ཏསྱ པྲཏིདིནཾ པྲཐམཾ སྭཔཱཔཱནཱཾ ཀྲྀཏེ ཏཏཿ པརཾ ལོཀཱནཱཾ པཱཔཱནཱཾ ཀྲྀཏེ བལིདཱནསྱ པྲཡོཛནཾ ནཱསྟི ཡཏ ཨཱཏྨབལིདཱནཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཏད྄ ཨེཀཀྲྀཏྭསྟེན སམྤཱདིཏཾ།
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 ) who has been perfected.
ཡཏོ ཝྱཝསྠཡཱ ཡེ མཧཱཡཱཛཀཱ ནིརཱུཔྱནྟེ ཏེ དཽརྦྦལྱཡུཀྟཱ མཱནཝཱཿ ཀིནྟུ ཝྱཝསྠཱཏཿ པརཾ ཤཔཐཡུཀྟེན ཝཱཀྱེན ཡོ མཧཱཡཱཛཀོ ནིརཱུཔིཏཿ སོ ྅ནནྟཀཱལཱརྠཾ སིདྡྷཿ པུཏྲ ཨེཝ། (aiōn )
