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,
Uyu Melekizedeki walikuba mwami wa Salemu, walikuba kayi shimilumbo wa Lesa wa Ngofu Shonse. Melekizedeki walapula nekuya kukumana ne Abulahamu ne kumuleleka, Abulahamu mpwalikufuma ku nkondo uko nkalakoma bami bana.
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.”
Popelapo Abulahamu walamanta ca likumi pa bintu byonse mbyalikukute ne kupa Melekizedeki. Lina lyakwambeti Melekizedeki lipandulululungeti, “Mwami wa bululami”. Pakwinga Salemu cilapadululunga “lumuno” Ecebo cakendi Melekizedeki lakwiwangeti “Mwami wa lumuno”.
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.
Nkalikukute baishi, nambi banyina, nambi cikokwe, nambi citatiko nambi mapwililisho. Melekizedeki walikubeti Mwanendi Lesa, kayi ni shimilumbo wa muyayaya.
4 Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.
Kamubonani bukulene bwa Melekizedeki! Cikokwe wetu Abulahamu walamupa ca likumi ca bintu byonse mbyalalamuna balwani bakendi.
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.
Kayi beshimilumbo ba mumukowa wa Levi Milawo ya Mose yalabasuminisha kumantapo ca likumi pa bintu mbyobakute Baislayeli, mikowa yabo yalafuma mubukome bwa Abulahamu.
6 But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
Melekizedeki nkalikuba wa mumukowa wa Levi sobwe, necikabeco walamantapo ca likumi pa bintu mbyalikukute Abulahamu, kayi walamuleleka muntuyo walatambula malayano a Lesa.
7 And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
Apa paliya kutonshanya sobwe, uyo lalelekenga nimukulene kupita uyo lalelekwanga.
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.
Beshimilumbo beshikumantapo ca likumi ni bantu beshi kufwa, nomba nendi Melekizedeki ca likumi ncalamanta Mabala alambangeti nimuyumi.
9 And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.
Mpani ng'ambeti, Abulahamu mpwalapa ca likumi, Levi kupitila mu bana bendi abo balikumanta ca likumi, nendi walapa ca likumi,
10 For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.
Pakwinga Levi walikatana asemwa pa cindico Abulahamu mpwalakumana ne Melekizedeki. Pakwinga walikacili mubukome bwa Abulahamu.
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?
Pabushimilumbo bwa Balevi epalikuba pebakwa Milawo ya Lesa njalapa Baislayeli. Lino nekwalikubeti ncito ya beshimilumbo yalikuba yelela kwine, nshinga nekwalabula kuyandiketi shimilumbo naumbi ese, uyo lafumunga mu bushimilumbo bwa Melekizedeki, bwabula kuba bwa Aloni.
12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.
Neco palaba kushinta kwa bushimilumbo, kayi pela kuba kushinta kwa Milawo.
13 He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
Muntu ngotulambanga ni Mwami uyo wabulapo muntu naumbi wa mumukowa wakendi walabapo shimilumbo.
14 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.
Ee, tucinsheti walasemenwa mu mukowa wa Yuda, nomba Mose uliya kuwambapo mukowa uwu mpwalikwamba sha beshimilumbo.
15 And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
Iyi nkani ilanyumfwiki cena, shimilumbo naumbi laboneke uyo ulyeti Melekizedeki.
16 one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.
Lesa walamubika kuba shimilumbo kwakubula kukonkela milawo ne malailile a mikowa yabantu, nsombi kupitila mu ngofu shakendi sha buyumi butapu.
Pakwinga Mabala alambangeti, “Nukabe shimilumbo wa muyayaya, mbuli bushimilumbo bwa Melekizedeki.” (aiōn g165)
18 So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
Neco Milawo yakaindi ilafumupo pakwinga nkayali kukute ngofu, yalikuba yalefuka kayi yabula kwelela.
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
Pakwinga Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose nkayali kucikonsha kululamika bintu byonse sobwe. Lino tulapewa ngotwali kupembelela uyo wela kututwala pepi ne Lesa.
20 And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
Nacimbi kayi nicakwambeti beshimilumbo nabambi mpobali kubikwa kuba beshimilumbo Lesa nkali kulumbilapo sobwe.
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)
Nomba Yesu mpwalaba shimilumbo palaba kulumbila, Lesa walalumbileti, Mwami Lesa walalumbileti, nteti nkashinte muyeyo wakame, “Njobe shimilumbo wa cindi conse.” (aiōn g165)
22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
Neco kupusana uku, kulamubikinga Yesu kuba cishomesho ca cipangano caina kupita.
23 Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
Kupusana nakumbi ni uku kwalikuba beshimilumbo bangi, nsombi lufu elwalikubalisha kupitilisha ncito yabo sobwe.
Nomba nendi Yesu nimuyumi cindi conse, kayi ncito yakendi yakuba shimilumbo nkaituntulukili ku muntu naumbi. (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.
Walibambila kupulusha cakupwililila bantu mbwalatangunininga kuli Lesa kupitila mulyendiye, pakwinga nendi nimuyumi cindi conse kayi ukute kubasengelako kuli Lesa.
26 Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
Ee, Yesu e Shimilumbo Mukulene ngotulayandanga. Waswepa, wabula kantongo kalikonse, nambi bwipishi. Wapusana ne njafwe tobabwipishi, nendi walapundushiwa ne kuya kwikala Kwilu.
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.
Yesu nkalipo eti beshimilumbo bamakulene nabambi, nendi nkalayandikinga kutwala milumbo yabwipishi bwakendi ne bwa bantu nabambi busuba ne busuba. Nendi walatwala mulumbo umo kankanda kamowa cindi ncalalibenga.
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)
Milawo ya Lesa njalapa Mose yalikusuminisha bantu babula kuswepa kuba beshimilumbo bamakulene, nomba cipangano ca Lesa ncalensa kulumbilapo, ico calesa panyuma pa milawo, calabika Mwana walulama kwa muyayaya. (aiōn g165)
