< 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;
Khohni Pathen kah khosoih, Salem manghai Melkhizedek loh, manghai rhoek tloeknah lamkah aka bal Abraham te a doe tih a uem.
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;
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 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abides a priest continually.
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 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
Patuel Abraham long pataeng a kutbuem khuikah parha pakhat a paek atah anih khaw bahoeng len tila hmu uh.
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:
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 he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
Tedae amih kah rhuirhong mueh loh Abraham taengkah parha pakhat a doe tih olkhueh aka dang te a uem.
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
Te dongah a then loh mathoe a uem te boeih pakainah moenih.
8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.
Te vaengah hlang duek loh parha pakhat te a dang dae hing tila pahoi a phong pah.
9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receives tithes, paid tithes in 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 in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
Melkhizedek loh anih a doe vaengah Levi he a napa kah a pumpu ah ni a. om pueng.
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?
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 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
Khosoih bi te a thovael vaengah olkhueng kah thovaelnah khaw a kueknah om.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance 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 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
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 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the embodiment of Melchisedec there arises another priest,
Te phoeiah a cimphan la muep om pueng. Melkhizedek kah mueiloh bangla khosoih a tloe a phoe mak atah.
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
Anih tah pumsa olpaek kah olkhueng dongah om pawt tih aka nguel hingnah kah thaomnah dongah ni a om.
17 For he testifies, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn )
“Nang tah Melkhizedek kah aitlaeng bangla kumhal ah na khosoih coeng,” tila a phong. (aiōn )
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
Olpaek lamhma he tattloel tih a hloo dongah a hnawt a khoe la poeh.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
Olkhueng loh soep sak pawt dae ngaiuepnah then ham rhoekbahnah la om. Te nen ni Pathen taengla n'yoei uh.
20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
Te tlam khaw olhlonah tal aih pawt dae, amih tah olhlonah om muehla khosoih a bi uh ngawn ta.
21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord swore and will not repent, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec: ) (aiōn )
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 )
22 By so much was Jesus made a guarantor of a better testament.
Heyet lamlong tah Jesuh he paipi then kah rhi aka khang la om coeng.
23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
Te vaengah aka nguel ham te duek loh a kanghalh dongah khosoih la aka om rhoek khaw muep lo uh.
24 But this man, because he continues ever, has an unchangeable priesthood. (aiōn )
Tedae kumhal duela aka naeh tih a cak la aka om khosoih khaw amah ni. (aiōn )
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.
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 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the 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 Who needs 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.
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.
28 For the law makes men high priests which have infirmity; but the word (logos) of the oath, which was since the law, makes the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. (aiōn )
Olkhueng loh vawtthoeknah aka om hlang te khosoihham la a tuek. Tedae olkhueng hnukah olhlonah ol loh capa te kumhal duela a soep sak coeng. (aiōn )
