Hebrews 7
1 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,
Hae Melkhizedik loe Salem siangpahrang ah oh moe, kasang koek Sithaw ih qaima ah oh, siangpahrangnawk hum pacoengah kamlaem Abraham to anih mah hnuk naah tahamhoihaih a paek;
2 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.”
Abraham mah anih khaeah hato thungah maeto paek; hmaloe koekah anih ih ahmin thuih koehhaih loe toenghaih Siangpahrang, tiah oh, to pacoengah Salem Siangpahrang loe angdaehhaih Siangpahrang, tiah doeh kawk ih to oh;
3 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.
amno kaom ai, ampa kaom ai, acaeng anghumhaih kawng doeh katawn ai, amtonghaih ni kaom ai, kaboeng thaih hinghaih doeh katawn ai; Sithaw Capa baktih toengah, dungzan qaima ah oh poe.
4 Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.
Hae kami loe kawkruk maw len, tito poek oh, Cunkung Abraham mah mataeng doeh a lak ih hmuennawk hato thungah maeto anih khaeah paek.
5 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.
Qaima toksah Levi caanawk loe Abraham atii hoi tacawt kami ah oh o, kaminawk loe angmacae ih nawkamya ah oh o; toe kaalok baktiah nihcae khae hoi hato thungah maeto lakthaihaih akaa to tawnh o.
6 But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
Toe Anih loe Levi caa ah om ai, toe Abraham khae hoiah hato thungah maeto a lak moe, lokkamhaih kahnuh Abraham to tahamhoihaih paek.
7 And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
Palunghaenghaih tawn ai, kalen kue mah ni kathoeng kue hanah tahamhoihaih to paek.
8 In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.
Hae ah loe kadueh thaih kaminawk mah hato thungah maeto lak o; ho ah loe Anih loe hing, tiah thuih ih Melkhizedik mah ni hato thungah maeto lak.
9 And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.
Hato thungah maeto la kami Levi loe Abraham rang hoiah hato thungah maeto paek, tiah thuih han oh.
10 For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.
Abraham mah Melkhizedik to hnuk naah, Levi loe ampa ih takpum thungah ni oh vop.
11 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?
Levinawk mah qaima toksakhaih rang hoiah akoephaih hnu o nahaeloe, (anih khae hoiah ni kaminawk mah kaalok to hnuk o) tipongah Aaron baktiah kawk ai ah, Melkhizedik baktiah kalah qaima angzoh han angai vop loe?
12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.
Qaima angthlaeng pongah, kaalok doeh angthlaeng han oh.
13 He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
Hae hmuennawk pongah thuih ih Anih loe kalah acaeng kami ah oh, to acaeng thung hoiah loe mi doeh hmaicam ah toksah o vai ai vop.
14 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.
Aicae Angraeng loe Judah kaminawk thung hoiah ni tacawt, tito amtueng; toe Mosi mah to kaminawk thung hoiah kaom han koi qaima toksakhaih kawng to thui ai.
15 And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
Melkhizedik baktiah kaom kalah qaima to tacawt nahaeloe, qaima acaeng angthlaeng ving boeh, tito amtueng boeh.
16 one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.
Anih loe taksa koehhaih daan baktiah angzo ai, kaboeng kanghmang tha kacak hinghaih hoiah ni angzoh.
Nang loe Melkhizedik baktiah, dungzan qaima ah na oh, tiah thuih ih lok to oh. (aiōn g165)
18 So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
Kaom hmaloe kaalok loe thazok moe, atho om ai pongah, takhoe ving boeh.
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
Kaalok mah loe akoephaih tidoeh paek ai, toe kahoih kue oephaih to ohsak, to oephaih rang hoiah ni aicae mah Sithaw khaeah anghnaih o.
20 And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
Anih loe lokkamhaih om ai ah qaima tok to sah ai:
21 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)
(kalah qaimanawk loe to baktih lokkamhaih sah ai ah qaima tok to sak o; toe Melkhizedik mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Nang loe dungzan qaima ah na oh, tiah Sithaw mah anih khaeah lokkamhaih sak boeh pongah, anih loe qaima tok to sak, Angraeng mah sak ih lokkamhaih loe amkhrai mak ai: ) (aiōn g165)
22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
Jesu mah loe kahoih kue kacak lokmaihaih to sak.
23 Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
Nihcae loe duekhaih mah kae pongah qaima pop o parai:
toe hae Kami loe hing poe pongah, amkhrai thai ai qaima ah oh. (aiōn g165)
25 Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.
To pongah Sithaw khaeah angzo kaminawk to Anih rang hoiah pahlong thaih, nihcae han toksak pae hanah Anih loe dungzan ah hing poe.
26 Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
To tiah kaom Qaima loe coek koi om ai, ciimcai, amhnong ai, kazae kaminawk thung hoiah amhoe moe, van pongah a sang kue;
27 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.
kalah qaimanawk loe angmacae zaehaih baktih toengah angmah hanah zae angbawnhaih sak hmaloe pacoengah, nithokkruek kaminawk hanah angbawnhaih sak pae han angaih, toe anih loe nithokkruek angbawnhaih sak han angai ai, Anih loe angmah hoi angmah angpaek naah vaito ah a sak king boeh.
28 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)
Kaalok mah loe thacak ai kaminawk ni qaima tok to saksak, toe kaalok pacoengah angzo lokkamhaih mah loe, dungzan ah kakoep Capa to ni a saksak. (aiōn g165)
