Hebrews 7
1 For this Melchisedech was king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him:
Melkizedek sia nye Salem fia kple nunɔlagã na Mawu, Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la. Esi Abraham trɔ tso aʋagbedzi, afi si wòɖu fia geɖewo dzi le gbɔna la, Melkizedek va kpee, eye wòyrae.
2 To whom also Abraham divided the tithes of all: who first indeed by interpretation, is king of justice: and then also king of Salem, that is, king of peace:
Le esia megbe la, Abraham tsɔ nu siwo katã wòtsɔ tso aʋagbedzi gbɔe la ƒe ewolia nɛ. Melkizedek ƒe ŋkɔa gɔmee nye “Dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe fia.” Eye eya kee nye Ŋutifafafia, elabena du si me wònye fia lee nye Salem si gɔmee nye “Ŋutifafa.”
3 Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but likened unto the Son of God, continueth a priest for ever.
Fofo kple dada mele Melkizedek si o, eye nuŋlɔɖi aɖeke meli tso tɔgbuiawo ŋuti o. Dzigbe alo kugbe meli nɛ o, ale eƒe agbe ɖeko wòle abe Mawu Vi la tɔ ene, ame si nye nunɔla tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.
4 Now consider how great this man is, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave tithes out of the principal things.
Mibu ale si wònye gãe la ŋuti kpɔ. Abraham, xɔsetɔwo fofo gɔ̃ hã tsɔ eƒe afunyinuwo ƒe ewolia nɛ!
5 And indeed they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is to say, of their brethren: though they themselves also came out of the loins of Abraham.
Azɔ la, se la bia tso Levi ƒe viwo ame siwo nye nunɔlawo la si be woaxɔ nu ewolia le woƒe dukɔmeviwo si, ame siwo nye wo nɔviwo, togbɔ be wo nɔviawo nye Abraham ƒe dzidzimeviwo hã.
6 But he, whose pedigree is not numbered among them, received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
Ke ŋutsu sia, Melkizedek, menye Levi ƒe dzidzimevi o, ke hã la, exɔ nu ewolia le Abraham si, eye wòyra eya ame si xɔ Mawu ƒe ŋugbedodoawo
7 And without all contradiction, that which is less, is blessed by the better.
abe ale si ame sia ame nya ene la, zi geɖe la, ame si naa yayra la kɔna wua ame si yram wòle.
8 And here indeed, men that die, receive thithes: but there he hath witness, that he liveth.
Ame siwo nye nunɔlawo esi woxɔ nu ewolia la nye amegbetɔwo; ŋutilã kple ʋu si kuna. Ke hena Melkizedek ya la, wogblɔ le eŋuti be egale agbe.
9 And (as it may be said) even Levi who received tithes, paid tithes in Abraham:
Míate ŋu agblɔ le Levi, ame si xɔ nu ewolia ŋuti gɔ̃ hã be exe nu ewolia to Abraham dzi,
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedech met him.
elabena esi Melkizedek do go Abraham la, Levi nɔ tɔgbuia, Abraham ƒe alime; womekpɔ dzii o.
11 If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law, ) what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?
Elabena to Levi ƒe viwo ƒe nunɔladɔwɔwɔ dzi, wona se la Israelviwo. Azɔ la, nenye be Leviviwo ƒe nunɔladɔwɔwɔ ɖe wòde blibo la, magahiã be woatsɔ nunɔla bubu vɛ o, ame si nye nunɔla le Melkizedek ƒe ɖoɖo nu, ke menye le Aron ƒe ɖoɖo nu o.
12 For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law.
Elabena ne tɔtrɔ va nunɔlaɖuɖu ŋuti la, ele be tɔtrɔ nava Se la hã me.
13 For he, of whom these things are spoken, is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar.
Eya ame si ŋu wogblɔ nu siawo katã le la tso to bubu me, eye ame aɖeke metso to ma me kpɔ subɔ abe nunɔla ene le vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ o,
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
elabena eme kɔ ƒãa be míaƒe Aƒetɔ la dzɔ tso Yuda ƒe to la me, eye ku ɖe to ma ŋuti la, Mose megblɔ nya aɖeke ku ɖe woƒe nunɔlaɖuɖu ŋuti o.
15 And it is yet far more evident: if according to the similitude of Melchisedech there ariseth another priest,
Eye nu si míegblɔ la, me agakɔ ɖe edzi wu ne nunɔla bubu abe Melkizedek ene va ɖo,
16 Who is made not according to the law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life:
ame si va zu nunɔla, menye to ɖoɖo si wowɔ da ɖi ku ɖe eƒe dzɔtsoƒe ŋuti o, ke boŋ ku ɖe ŋusẽ si le agbe si mekuna o la ŋuti.
17 For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)
Psalmoŋlɔla ɖe nu sia fia mi kɔtɛe esi wògblɔ tso Kristo ŋuti bena, “Wòe nye nunɔla le Melkizedek ƒe ɖoƒe nu tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.” (aiōn g165)
18 There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof:
Wotsɔ ɖoɖo gbãtɔ si wowɔ la da ɖe aga, elabena egbɔdzɔ, eye menyo na naneke o
19 (For the law brought nothing to perfection, ) but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.
(elabena Mose ƒe Se la mate ŋu awɔ naneke wòade blibo o), eye azɔ la, wohe mɔkpɔkpɔ yeye vɛ to esi dzi míate ŋu ate ɖe Mawu ŋu kpokploe.
20 And inasmuch as it is not without an oath, (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath;
Mawu ƒe atamkaka kpe ɖe esiawo katã ŋu, ke ame bubuwo ya ɖua nunɔla atamkakamanɔmee,
21 But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever.) (aiōn g165)
ke Yesu ya ɖu nunɔla to Mawu ƒe atamkaka me, elabena Mawu gblɔ nɛ bena, “Aƒetɔ la ka atam, eye matrɔ eƒe susu o, ‘Wò la, nunɔlae nènye tegbetegbe.’” (aiōn g165)
22 By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
Le atamkaka sia ta la, Yesu va zu nubabla si nyo wu sãa la ƒe kpeɖodzinu.
23 And the others indeed were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue:
Vovototo bubu si le nunɔla mawo kple Yesu domee nye be nunɔla mawo sɔ gbɔ, elabena woku eye womagate ŋu ayi woƒe dɔ dzi o,
gake Yesu ya le agbe tegbetegbe. Seɖoƒe meli na eya ƒe nunɔladɔ o. (aiōn g165)
25 Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us.
Eya ta ŋusẽ le esi be wòaɖe ame siwo va Mawu gbɔ to eya amea dzi la blibo, elabena ele agbe tegbee le nya xɔm ɖe akɔ na wo.
26 For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
Ekema Yesue nye nunɔlagã ma si kpɔa míaƒe hiahiãwo gbɔ, ame si le kɔkɔe, kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele eŋu o, ame si le dzadzɛe, ame si woɖe ɖe aga tso nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo gbɔ, eye wokɔe ɖe dzi gbɔ dziƒowo ŋui.
27 Who needeth not daily (as the other priests) to offer sacrifices first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, in offering himself.
Mele abe nunɔlagã bubuwo ene o, elabena mehiã be wòasa vɔ gbe sia gbe, gbã ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta, eye evelia, ɖe ame bubuwo tɔ ta o. Esa vɔ ɖe woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta zi ɖeka hena ɣeyiɣiawo katã, esi wòtsɔ eɖokui hena.
28 For the law maketh men priests, who have infirmity: but the word of the oath, which was since the law, the Son who is perfected for evermore. (aiōn g165)
Elabena Mose ƒe Se la tɔ asi ame siwo nye gbɔdzɔgbɔdzɔtɔwo la dzi be woanye nunɔlagãwo, ke Mawu ƒe atamkaka si va ɖe se la yome la tɔ asi Via dzi, ame si wòwɔ wòde blibo tegbetegbe. (aiōn g165)
