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 a bụ eze Salem, bụrụkwa onye nchụaja Chineke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu. Ọ zutere Ebraham mgbe o si na mmeri o meriri ọtụtụ ndị eze ahụ na-alọghachi, gọziekwa ya.
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:
Ebraham nyekwara ya otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri nke ihe niile. Ihe mbụ aha ya pụtara bụ, “eze ezi omume,” ọzọkwa bụ “eze nke Salem,” nke pụtara, “eze udo.”
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.
O nweghị nna, o nwekwaghị nne, nke ọ na-enwe agbụrụ. O nweghị mmalite nke ụbọchị a mụrụ ya, maọbụ ọgwụgwụ ndụ, e mere ya dị ka Ọkpara Chineke. Ọ na-anọgide bụrụ onye nchụaja ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
4 Now consider how great this man is, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave tithes out of the principal things.
Leenụ otu o siri bụrụ onye dị ukwuu, ọ bụladị Ebraham bụ nna nna anyị nyere ya otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri site nʼihe ọ kwatara nʼagha!
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.
Ma otu ọ dị, iwu kwadoro ka ụmụ Livayị bụ ndị ghọrọ ndị nchụaja na-anakọta otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri site nʼaka ndị ọzọ, ya bụ, site nʼaka ndị ụmụnna ha ndị Izrel, nʼagbanyeghị na ụmụnna ha ndị ahụ bụkwa ụmụ ụmụ Ebraham.
6 But he, whose pedigree is not numbered among them, received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
Ma nwoke a bụ onye na-esiteghị nʼagbụrụ naara otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri site nʼaka Ebraham ma gọziekwa ya bụ onye ahụ nke natara nkwa ahụ.
7 And without all contradiction, that which is less, is blessed by the better.
O nweghị ịrụrịta ụka ọbụla dị ya, na onye dị ukwuu na-agọzi onye dị nta.
8 And here indeed, men that die, receive thithes: but there he hath witness, that he liveth.
Nʼotu aka ahụ, ndị na-anata otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri bụ mmadụ na-anwụ anwụ, ma nʼaka nke ọzọ, onye na-anata ya bụ onye ahụ e kwupụtara na ọ na-adị ndụ.
9 And (as it may be said) even Levi who received tithes, paid tithes in Abraham:
Mmadụ pụrụ isi na Livayị onye natara otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri kwụrụ otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ya site nʼaka Ebraham.
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedech met him.
Nʼihi na mgbe Melkizedek zutere ya, ọ ka nọ nʼafọ nna nna ya.
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?
Ọ bụrụ na a pụrụ ime ka mmadụ zuo oke site nʼọnọdụ ndị nchụaja ndị Livayị, nʼihi na ọ bụ site nʼiwu e nyere ndị mmadụ ka e ji hiwee ọnọdụ ndị nchụaja. Olee uru ọ bara ka onye nchụaja ọzọ bịa, dị ka usoro Melkizedek si dị, na-abụghị dị ka usoro nke Erọn?
12 For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law.
Ebe a gbanwere ọnọdụ ndị nchụaja, nʼotu aka ahụ, a ghaghị ịgbanwekwa iwu.
13 For he, of whom these things are spoken, is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar.
Nʼihi na onye ahụ e kwuru ihe ndị a banyere ya sitere nʼagbụrụ ọzọ, nke ọ dịbeghị onye ọbụla sitere na ya rụrụ ọrụ dị nʼebe ịchụ aja.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
Ọ bụ ihe a mara nke ọma na Onyenwe anyị si nʼagbụrụ Juda pụta, Mosis nʼonwe ya akpọtụghị agbụrụ ahụ aha mgbe ọ na-ekwu banyere ndị nchụaja.
15 And it is yet far more evident: if according to the similitude of Melchisedech there ariseth another priest,
E meela ka a ghọta okwu anyị na-ekwu nke ọma, mgbe onye nchụaja ọzọ yiri Melkizedek pụtara.
16 Who is made not according to the law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life:
Onye ghọrọ onye nchụaja ma ọ bụghị site nʼusoro iwu nke ọmụmụ ndị nchụaja, kama site nʼike dị na ndụ nke na-apụghị ịla nʼiyi.
17 For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)
Nʼihi na-agbara akaebe banyere ya, sị, “Gị onwe gị, bụ onye nchụaja ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, dị ka usoro Melkizedek si dị.” (aiōn g165)
18 There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof:
Nʼotu aka ahụ, e wezugala usoro iwu ochie ahụ nʼihi adịghị ike ya na nʼihi abaghị uru ya
19 (For the law brought nothing to perfection, ) but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.
(nʼihi na iwu ahụ emeghị ka ihe ọbụla zuo oke), ma nʼaka nke ọzọ, e webatala olileanya ka mma, bụ nke anyị na-esite na ya bịaruo Chineke nso.
20 And inasmuch as it is not without an oath, (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath;
Ma e ji ịṅụ iyi mee ka ọnọdụ onyeisi nchụaja a guzosie ike. O nweghị iyi a ṅụrụ mgbe ndị ọzọ ghọrọ ndị nchụaja.
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)
Ma onye nke a ghọrọ onye nchụaja site nʼịṅụ iyi mgbe onye ahụ gwara ya, “Onyenwe anyị aṅụọla iyi, ọ gaghị agbanwe obi ya, ‘Ị bụ onye nchụaja ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’” (aiōn g165)
22 By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
Nʼihi nke a, Jisọs aghọọla onye na-akwagide ọgbụgba ndụ ka mma.
23 And the others indeed were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue:
Ihe ọzọ, ndị nchụaja nke ochie ahụ dị ọtụtụ nʼọnụọgụgụ nʼihi na ọnwụ gbochiri ha ịga nʼihu nʼọrụ ha.
Ya mere, ebe ọ na-adị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ọ na-abụkwa onyeisi nchụaja mgbe niile. (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.
Ya mere o nwere ike ịzọpụta ruo mgbe niile ndị ahụ na-abịakwute Chineke site na ya, nʼihi na ọ na-adị ndụ ruo mgbe niile ịrịọ arịrịọ nʼihi ha.
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;
Ya mere, ọ dị mkpa na anyị ga-enwe onyeisi nchụaja dị otu a, bụ onye dị nsọ, na onye na-enweghị ntụpọ, na onye dị ọcha, na onye e kewapụrụ site nʼebe ndị mmehie nọ, ma buliekwa ya elu karịa nʼeluigwe.
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.
Ọ dịghị ka ndịisi nchụaja ndị ọzọ, nʼihi na ọ dịghị mkpa na ọ ga-achụ aja kwa ụbọchị, nʼihi mmehie nke aka ya, na nʼihi mmehie nke ndị ọzọ. Naanị otu aja nke dịrị mgbe niile ka ọ chụrụ maka mmehie mgbe o weere onwe ya nye dị ka aja.
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)
Nʼihi na iwu na-ahọpụta dị ka ndịisi nchụaja ndị mmadụ na-adịghị ike. Ma okwu nke ịṅụ iyi ahụ, nke na-eso iwu nʼazụ, họpụtara Ọkpara, onye e mere ka o zuo oke ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. (aiōn g165)
