Hebrews 7
1 For this Melchisedec, King of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from smiting the kings, and blessed him;
śālamasya rājā sarvvōparisthasyēśvarasya yājakaśca san yō nr̥patīnāṁ māraṇāt pratyāgatam ibrāhīmaṁ sākṣātkr̥tyāśiṣaṁ gaditavān,
2 to whom Abraham gave also the tenth portion of all; first being interpreted King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;
yasmai cēbrāhīm sarvvadravyāṇāṁ daśamāṁśaṁ dattavān sa malkīṣēdak svanāmnō'rthēna prathamatō dharmmarājaḥ paścāt śālamasya rājārthataḥ śāntirājō bhavati|
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually.
aparaṁ tasya pitā mātā vaṁśasya nirṇaya āyuṣa ārambhō jīvanasya śēṣaścaitēṣām abhāvō bhavati, itthaṁ sa īśvaraputrasya sadr̥śīkr̥taḥ, sa tvanantakālaṁ yāvad yājakastiṣṭhati|
4 Now consider how great this [personage] was, to whom [even] the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the spoils.
ataēvāsmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣa ibrāhīm yasmai luṭhitadravyāṇāṁ daśamāṁśaṁ dattavān sa kīdr̥k mahān tad ālōcayata|
5 And they indeed from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is from their brethren, though these are come out of the loins of Abraham:
yājakatvaprāptā lēvēḥ santānā vyavasthānusārēṇa lōkēbhyō'rthata ibrāhīmō jātēbhyaḥ svīyabhrātr̥bhyō daśamāṁśagrahaṇasyādēśaṁ labdhavantaḥ|
6 but he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.
kintvasau yadyapi tēṣāṁ vaṁśāt nōtpannastathāpībrāhīmō daśamāṁśaṁ gr̥hītavān pratijñānām adhikāriṇam āśiṣaṁ gaditavāṁśca|
7 But beyond all gainsaying, the inferior is blessed by the better.
aparaṁ yaḥ śrēyān sa kṣudratarāyāśiṣaṁ dadātītyatra kō'pi sandēhō nāsti|
8 And here dying men receive tithes; but there [one] of whom the witness is that he lives;
aparam idānīṁ yē daśamāṁśaṁ gr̥hlanti tē mr̥tyōradhīnā mānavāḥ kintu tadānīṁ yō gr̥hītavān sa jīvatītipramāṇaprāptaḥ|
9 and, so to speak, through Abraham, Levi also, who received tithes, has been made to pay tithes.
aparaṁ daśamāṁśagrāhī lēvirapībrāhīmdvārā daśamāṁśaṁ dattavān ētadapi kathayituṁ śakyatē|
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.
yatō yadā malkīṣēdak tasya pitaraṁ sākṣāt kr̥tavān tadānīṁ sa lēviḥ pitururasyāsīt|
11 If indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the people had their law given to them in connexion with it, what need [was there] still that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after the order of Aaron?
aparaṁ yasya sambandhē lōkā vyavasthāṁ labdhavantastēna lēvīyayājakavargēṇa yadi siddhiḥ samabhaviṣyat tarhi hārōṇasya śrēṇyā madhyād yājakaṁ na nirūpyēśvarēṇa malkīṣēdakaḥ śrēṇyā madhyād aparasyaikasya yājakasyōtthāpanaṁ kuta āvaśyakam abhaviṣyat?
12 For, the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a change of law also.
yatō yājakavargasya vinimayēna sutarāṁ vyavasthāyā api vinimayō jāyatē|
13 For he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of which no one has [ever] been attached to the service of the altar.
aparañca tad vākyaṁ yasyōddēśyaṁ sō'parēṇa vaṁśēna saṁyuktā'sti tasya vaṁśasya ca kō'pi kadāpi vēdyāḥ karmma na kr̥tavān|
14 For it is clear that our Lord has sprung out of Juda, as to which tribe Moses spake nothing as to priests.
vastutastu yaṁ vaṁśamadhi mūsā yājakatvasyaikāṁ kathāmapi na kathitavān tasmin yihūdāvaṁśē'smākaṁ prabhu rjanma gr̥hītavān iti suspaṣṭaṁ|
15 And it is yet more abundantly evident, since a different priest arises according to the similitude of Melchisedec,
tasya spaṣṭataram aparaṁ pramāṇamidaṁ yat malkīṣēdakaḥ sādr̥śyavatāparēṇa tādr̥śēna yājakēnōdētavyaṁ,
16 who has been constituted not according to law of fleshly commandment, but according to power of indissoluble life.
yasya nirūpaṇaṁ śarīrasambandhīyavidhiyuktayā vyavasthāyā na bhavati kintvakṣayajīvanayuktayā śaktyā bhavati|
17 For it is borne witness, Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
yata īśvara idaṁ sākṣyaṁ dattavān, yathā, "tvaṁ maklīṣēdakaḥ śrēṇyāṁ yājakō'si sadātanaḥ|" (aiōn g165)
18 For there is a setting aside of the commandment going before for its weakness and unprofitableness,
anēnāgravarttinō vidhē durbbalatāyā niṣphalatāyāśca hētōrarthatō vyavasthayā kimapi siddhaṁ na jātamitihētōstasya lōpō bhavati|
19 (for the law perfected nothing, ) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God.
yayā ca vayam īśvarasya nikaṭavarttinō bhavāma ētādr̥śī śrēṣṭhapratyāśā saṁsthāpyatē|
20 And by how much [it was] not without the swearing of an oath;
aparaṁ yīśuḥ śapathaṁ vinā na niyuktastasmādapi sa śrēṣṭhaniyamasya madhyasthō jātaḥ|
21 (for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent [of it], Thou [art] priest for ever [according to the order of Melchisedec]; ) (aiōn g165)
yatastē śapathaṁ vinā yājakā jātāḥ kintvasau śapathēna jātaḥ yataḥ sa idamuktaḥ, yathā,
22 by so much Jesus became surety of a better covenant.
"paramēśa idaṁ śēpē na ca tasmānnivartsyatē| tvaṁ malkīṣēdakaḥ śrēṇyāṁ yājakō'si sadātanaḥ|" (aiōn g165)
23 And they have been many priests, on account of being hindered from continuing by death;
tē ca bahavō yājakā abhavan yatastē mr̥tyunā nityasthāyitvāt nivāritāḥ,
kintvasāvanantakālaṁ yāvat tiṣṭhati tasmāt tasya yājakatvaṁ na parivarttanīyaṁ| (aiōn g165)
25 Whence also he is able to save completely those who approach by him to God, always living to intercede for them.
tatō hētō ryē mānavāstēnēśvarasya sannidhiṁ gacchanti tān sa śēṣaṁ yāvat paritrātuṁ śaknōti yatastēṣāṁ kr̥tē prārthanāṁ karttuṁ sa satataṁ jīvati|
26 For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and become higher than the heavens:
aparam asmākaṁ tādr̥śamahāyājakasya prayōjanamāsīd yaḥ pavitrō 'hiṁsakō niṣkalaṅkaḥ pāpibhyō bhinnaḥ svargādapyuccīkr̥taśca syāt|
27 who has not day by day need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for his own sins, then [for] those of the people; for this he did once for all [in] having offered up himself.
aparaṁ mahāyājakānāṁ yathā tathā tasya pratidinaṁ prathamaṁ svapāpānāṁ kr̥tē tataḥ paraṁ lōkānāṁ pāpānāṁ kr̥tē balidānasya prayōjanaṁ nāsti yata ātmabalidānaṁ kr̥tvā tad ēkakr̥tvastēna sampāditaṁ|
28 For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which [is] after the law, a Son perfected for ever. (aiōn g165)
yatō vyavasthayā yē mahāyājakā nirūpyantē tē daurbbalyayuktā mānavāḥ kintu vyavasthātaḥ paraṁ śapathayuktēna vākyēna yō mahāyājakō nirūpitaḥ sō 'nantakālārthaṁ siddhaḥ putra ēva| (aiōn g165)
