Hebrews 7
1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
This for Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, (who *N(k)O*) having met with Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and having blessed him,
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
to whom also a tenth of all apportioned Abraham, first indeed being translated king of righteousness then however also king of Salem, which is king of peace,
3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
Without father, without mother, without genealogy, neither beginning of days nor of life end having, made like however as the Son of God he remains a priest unto all time.
4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
do consider now how great this one [was], to whom even a tenth Abraham gave out of the best spoils the patriarch.
5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
And those indeed out from the sons of Levi the priestly office receiving a commandment have to take a tenth from the people according to the law, That is from the brothers of them, though having come out of the loin of Abraham.
6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
The [one] however not tracing his ancestry from them he has collected a tenth (*k*) from Abraham; and the [one who] is having the promises He has blessed.
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
Apart from now all dispute; the inferior by the superior is blessed.
8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
And here indeed tithes dying men receive in that place however it is testified that he lives on.
9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
And so a word to speak; through Abraham also Levi the [one] tithes receiving has paid the tithe.
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
Still for in the loin of [his] father he was when he met with him (*k*) Melchizedek.
11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, ( for under it the people received the law, ) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
If indeed then perfection through the Levitical priesthood were — the people for upon (it has received [the] Law — *N(k)O*) what still need [was there] according to the order of Melchizedek [for] another to arise priest and not according to the order of Aaron to be named?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
When is being changed for the priesthood from necessity also of law a change takes place.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
[He] concerning whom for are spoken these things to a tribe another has belonged to, from which no [one] has served at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
[It is] evident for that out of Judah has sprung the Lord of us as to which a tribe concerning (priests *N(K)O*) no [thing] Moses spoke.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
And more excessive yet evident it is, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek arises a priest another,
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
who not according to a law of a commandment (fleshly *N(k)O*) has been constituted but according to [the] power of a life indestructible;
(It is testified *N(k)O*) for that You [are] a priest to the age according to the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
A putting away indeed for there is while is preceding [the] commandment because of its weakness and uselessness —
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
no [thing] for perfected the law — [the] introduction then of a better hope through which we draw near to God.
20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
And to as much as not apart from an oath.
21 ( For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec: ) (aiōn g165)
those ones truly for without an oath are priests having become, [He] however with an oath through the [One] who is saying to Him: Has sworn [the] Lord and not will change His mind; You [are] a priest to the age (according to the order of Melchizedek; *K*) (aiōn g165)
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
By so much (also *no*) of a better covenant has become [the] guarantee Jesus.
23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
And those indeed many are having become priests because of by death being prevented from continuing;
However because of the abiding of Him to the age a permanent He holds priesthood; (aiōn g165)
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
wherefore also to save to the uttermost He is able those drawing near through Him to God always living for to intercede for them.
26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
Such indeed for us (also *no*) was fitting a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and higher than the heavens having become;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
who not has every day need as the high priests first for [their] own sins sacrifices to offer up then for those of the people; this for He did once for all Himself having offered up.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. (aiōn g165)
The law for men appoints as high priests having weakness, the word however of the oath which [is] after the law a Son to the age perfected. (aiōn g165)
