< Hebrews 7 >

1 For this Melchi-sedec was King of Salem, the Priest of the most high God, who met Abraham, as he returned 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 gaue the tithe of all things: who first is by interpretation King of righteousnes: after that, he is 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 kinred, and hath neither beginning of his dayes, neither ende of life: but is likened vnto the Sonne of God, and continueth a Priest for euer.
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 Nowe consider how great this man was, vnto whome euen the Patriarke Abraham gaue the tithe of the spoyles.
Mibu ale si wònye gãe la ŋuti kpɔ. Abraham, xɔsetɔwo fofo gɔ̃ hã tsɔ eƒe afunyinuwo ƒe ewolia nɛ!
5 For verely they which are the childre of Leui, which receiue the office of the Priesthode, haue a commandement to take, according to the Law, tithes of the people (that is, of their bethren) though they came out of ye loynes 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 kindred is not couted among them, receiued 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 the lesse is blessed of the greater.
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 men that die, receiue tithes: but there he receiueth them, of whome it is witnessed, that he liueth.
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 to say as the thing is, Leui also which receiueth tithes, payed 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 hee was yet in the loynes of his father Abraham, when Melchi-sedec met him.
elabena esi Melkizedek do go Abraham la, Levi nɔ tɔgbuia, Abraham ƒe alime; womekpɔ dzii o.
11 If therefore perfection had bene by the Priesthoode of the Leuites (for vnder it the Lawe was established to the people) what needed it furthermore, that another Priest should rise after the order of Melchi-sedec, and not to be called after 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 if the Priesthood be changed, then of necessitie must there be a change of the Lawe.
Elabena ne tɔtrɔ va nunɔlaɖuɖu ŋuti la, ele be tɔtrɔ nava Se la hã me.
13 For hee of whome these things are spoken, perteineth vnto another tribe, whereof no man serued at 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 euident, that our Lord sprung out of Iuda, concerning the which tribe Moses spake nothing, touching the Priesthood.
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 a more euident thing, because that after the similitude of Melchi-sedec, there is risen vp another Priest,
Eye nu si míegblɔ la, me agakɔ ɖe edzi wu ne nunɔla bubu abe Melkizedek ene va ɖo,
16 Which is not made Priest after the Law of the carnal commandement, but after the power of the endlesse 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 hee testifieth thus, Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchi-sedec. (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 For the commandement that went afore, is disanulled, because of the weakenes thereof, and vnprofitablenes.
Wotsɔ ɖoɖo gbãtɔ si wowɔ la da ɖe aga, elabena egbɔdzɔ, eye menyo na naneke o
19 For the Law made nothing perfite, but the bringing in of a better hope made perfite, whereby we drawe neere vnto 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 for as much as it is not without an othe (for these are made Priestes without an othe:
Mawu ƒe atamkaka kpe ɖe esiawo katã ŋu, ke ame bubuwo ya ɖua nunɔla atamkakamanɔmee,
21 But this is made with an othe by him that said vnto him, The Lord hath sworne, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchi-sedec) (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 Iesus made a suretie of a better Testament.
Le atamkaka sia ta la, Yesu va zu nubabla si nyo wu sãa la ƒe kpeɖodzinu.
23 And among them many were made Priests, because they were not suffered to endure, by the reason of death.
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,
24 But this man, because hee endureth euer, hath a Priesthood, which cannot passe from one to another. (aiōn g165)
gake Yesu ya le agbe tegbetegbe. Seɖoƒe meli na eya ƒe nunɔladɔ o. (aiōn g165)
25 Wherefore, hee is able also perfectly to saue them that come vnto God by him, seeing he euer liueth, to make intercession for them.
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 such an hie Priest it became vs to haue, which is holy, harmelesse, vndefiled, separate from sinners, and made hier then the heauens:
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 Which needeth not daily as those hie Priests to offer vp sacrifice, first for his owne sinnes, and then for the peoples: for that did he once, when he offered vp himselfe.
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 hie Priestes, which haue infirmitie: but the word of the othe that was since the Lawe, maketh the Sonne, who is consecrated for euermore. (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)
