Hebrews 7
1 Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of the Most High God. He met Abraham who was returning from defeating the kings and blessed him.
Khohni Pathen kah khosoih, Salem manghai Melkhizedek loh, manghai rhoek tloeknah lamkah aka bal Abraham te a doe tih a uem.
2 Abraham gave him a tithe of all that he had won. Melchizedek's name means “king of right” while king of Salem means “king of peace.”
A cungkuem lamkah parha ah pakhat te khaw Abraham loh anih a boe. Khatben ah lamhma la, duengnah manghai neh Salem manghai khaw a thuingaih coeng. Te tah ngaimongnah manghai ni.
3 We don't have any information about his father or his mother or his family tree. We don't know when he was born or when he died. Like the Son of God he continues as a priest forever.
Pamueh numueh, rhuirhong mueh, a khohnin a tongnah om pawt tih hingnah a bawtnah khaw khueh pawh. Tedae Pathen capa la om tih kumhal ah khosoih la naeh.
4 Think how great this man was for Abraham the patriarch to give him a tithe of what was won in battle.
Patuel Abraham long pataeng a kutbuem khuikah parha pakhat a paek atah anih khaw bahoeng len tila hmu uh.
5 Yes, the sons of Levi who are priests were commanded by the law to receive a tithe from the people, their brothers and sisters, who are descended from Abraham.
Levi ca rhoek long tah a khuikah khosoih te a dang. Olkhueng vanbangla pilnam taengah parha pakhat coi nah olpaek khaw a khueh uh. Tedae Abraham pumpu lamloh ha thoeng boeiloeih tih a manuca la om.
6 But Melchizedek who doesn't share their ancestry received tithes from Abraham, and blessed the one who had God's promises.
Tedae amih kah rhuirhong mueh loh Abraham taengkah parha pakhat a doe tih olkhueh aka dang te a uem.
7 There's no argument that the lesser person is blessed by the one who is greater.
Te dongah a then loh mathoe a uem te boeih pakainah moenih.
8 In the one case tithes are received by men who die, but in the other by one who is said to be living.
Te vaengah hlang duek loh parha pakhat te a dang dae hing tila pahoi a phong pah.
9 So you could say that Levi, the one who receives tithes, has paid tithes through being a descendant of Abraham,
Te phoeiah olka a thui vanbangla Abraham lamlong ni Levi long khaw a doe parha pakhat te a dang.
10 for he was yet to be born from his father when Melchizedek met Abraham.
Melkhizedek loh anih a doe vaengah Levi he a napa kah a pumpu ah ni a om pueng.
11 Now if perfection could have been achieved through the priesthood of Levi (for that's how the law was received), what was the need for another priest to come following the order of Melchizedek, and not following the order of Aaron?
Levi khosoih lamloh hmakhahnah a om tangloeng atah pilnam loh amah soah ol a rhi coeng. Melkhizedek kah aitlaeng bangla a tloe khosoih aka phoe taengah banim a ngoe pueng? Aron kah aitlaeng bangla khue pawt nim?
12 If the priesthood is changed, then the law needs to be changed too.
Khosoih bi te a thovael vaengah olkhueng kah thovaelnah khaw a kueknah om.
13 The one we're talking about comes from a different tribe, a tribe that has never provided priests to serve at the altar.
Amah kawng a thui uh he khaw a tloe koca taengah cabol coeng. Te lamkah te tah hmueihtuk aka ngaithuen moenih.
14 It's clear that our Lord is a descendant of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests coming from this tribe.
Te dongah mamih kah Boeipa te Judah lamkah ha thoeng te lohaa coeng. Tekah koca ham khosoih bi te Moses loh ana thui moenih.
15 What makes it even clearer is when another priest appears who is similar to Melchizedek,
Te phoeiah a cimphan la muep om pueng. Melkhizedek kah mueiloh bangla khosoih a tloe a phoe mak atah.
16 and who didn't become a priest by virtue of his human ancestry but by the power of a life that cannot be ended.
Anih tah pumsa olpaek kah olkhueng dongah om pawt tih aka nguel hingnah kah thaomnah dongah ni a om.
17 That's why it says, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
“Nang tah Melkhizedek kah aitlaeng bangla kumhal ah na khosoih coeng,” tila a phong. (aiōn g165)
18 So the previous rule has been set aside because it was powerless and didn't work,
Olpaek lamhma he tattloel tih a hloo dongah a hnawt a khoe la poeh.
19 (for the law didn't make anything perfect). But now it's been replaced by a better hope by which we can come close to God.
Olkhueng loh soep sak pawt dae ngaiuepnah then ham rhoekbahnah la om. Te nen ni Pathen taengla n'yoei uh.
20 This was not without an oath, even though those who become priests do so without an oath.
Te tlam khaw olhlonah tal aih pawt dae, amih tah olhlonah om muehla khosoih a bi uh ngawn ta.
21 But he became a priest with an oath because God told him, “The Lord has taken a solemn vow and will not change his mind: You are a priest forever.” (aiōn g165)
Tedae te lamloh olhlonah neh amah te, “Boeipa loh a toemngam coeng dongah yut pawt tih kumhal duela na khosoih coeng,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
22 This is how Jesus became the guarantee of an agreed relationship with God that is so much better.
Heyet lamlong tah Jesuh he paipi then kah rhi aka khang la om coeng.
23 There have been many priests because death prevented them from being able to continue;
Te vaengah aka nguel ham te duek loh a kanghalh dongah khosoih la aka om rhoek khaw muep lo uh.
Tedae kumhal duela aka naeh tih a cak la aka om khosoih khaw amah ni. (aiōn g165)
25 As a result he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, living always to plead their case on their behalf.
Te dongah anih lamloh Pathen aka paan rhoek khuek a khang thai bal. A yoeyah la hing ham te amih yueng la huithui coeng.
26 He is exactly the high priest we need: holy and without fault, pure and separate from sinners, and given a place in the highest heavens.
Tebang hlangcim, ommongsitoe, aka cuem, hlangtholh taeng lamloh aka hoep uh, vaan sang la aka om tah mamih kah khosoihham lam khaw rhoep tloe pai.
27 Unlike those human high priests, he doesn't need to offer a daily sacrifice for his sins and then the sins of the people. He did this once, and for everyone, when he offered himself.
Anih tah khosoihham rhoek bangla a kueknah te hnin takuem a khueh moenih. Lamhma kah long tah amah kah tholhnah ham hmueih nawn. Te phoeikah rhoek ni pilnam ham pueng. Hekah long tah amah te bangtlang saii uh tih a nawn.
