< 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;
Melishisedeki azalaki mokonzi ya Salemi mpe Nganga-Nzambe ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo. Ezali Melishisedeki nde akendeki kokutana na Abrayami, wana Abrayami azali kozonga sima na ye kolonga bakonzi; mpe ezali Melishisedeki nde apambolaki Abrayami.
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;
Abrayami apesaki ye eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo azwaki lokola bomengo ya bitumba. Kombo ya Melishisedeki elakisi « mokonzi ya bosembo. » Azali lisusu mokonzi ya Salemi; elingi koloba: mokonzi ya kimia.
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.
Azalaki na tata te, mama te, bakoko te, mokolo ya mbotama te, mpe mokolo ya kufa te; azalaki lokola Mwana na Nzambe, mpe azali Nganga-Nzambe mpo na libela.
4 Now consider how great this man [was], unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
Botala ndenge nini Melishisedeki azalaki moto monene mpo ete ezala Abrayami, koko na biso, apesa ye eteni ya zomi ya bomengo na ye ya bitumba!
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:
Solo, Mibeko ya Moyize etindaki bana ya Levi, oyo bakomi Banganga-Nzambe kozwa biteni ya zomi epai ya bandeko na bango, bato ya Isalaele, oyo bazali mpe bato ya libota ya Abrayami.
6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
Kasi Melishisedeki oyo azalaki kutu moto ya libota ya Levi te azwaki eteni ya zomi ya Abrayami, mpe apambolaki moto oyo Nzambe apesaki bilaka.
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
Nzokande, tembe ezali te ete ezali moto oyo azali na se nde azwaka lipamboli kowuta na moto oyo aleki ye.
8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
Botala lisusu: na ngambo moko, ezali bato oyo bakufaka nde bazali kozwa biteni ya zomi; kasi na ngambo mosusu, kolanda Makomi, ezali moto na bomoi.
9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
Boye, na mokuse, tokoki koloba ete Levi oyo azwaka biteni ya zomi afutaki eteni ya zomi epai ya Melishisedeki na nzela ya Abrayami;
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
pamba te, tango Melishisedeki akutanaki na Abrayami, Levi azalaki nanu kati na mokongo ya koko na ye, Abrayami.
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?
Boye, soki bato oyo bazwaki mobeko bakokaki kokoma ya kokoka na nzela ya bonganga-Nzambe ya Balevi, mpo na nini kotia Nganga-Nzambe mosusu, kolanda molongo ya Melishisedeki, kasi kolanda molongo ya Aron te?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
Nzokande, lokola bonganga-Nzambe ebongwani, mobeko mpe esengeli kobongwana.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
Pamba te makambo yango etali Nganga-Nzambe oyo azali ya libota ya Levi te, kasi ya libota oyo moto na yango moko te atikala kosala na etumbelo.
14 For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
Toyebi malamu ete Nkolo na biso azali ya libota ya Yuda, mpe Moyize atikalaki koloba eloko moko te na tina na bonganga-Nzambe ya libota ya Yuda.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
Likambo oyo tozali kolobela ekomi lisusu polele koleka awa Nganga-Nzambe mosusu abimi, Nganga-Nzambe oyo akokani na Melishisedeki;
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
akomi Nganga-Nzambe kolanda mibeko ya bomoto te, kasi kolanda nguya ya bomoi oyo ezali na suka te.
17 For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn )
Pamba te, tala litatoli oyo baloba na tina na Ye: « Ozali Nganga-Nzambe mpo na libela, kolanda molongo ya Melishisedeki. » (aiōn )
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
Boye, Nzambe alongolaki mobeko ya liboso mpo ete ezalaki makasi te mpe ezalaki na tina te.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
Solo, Mibeko ya Moyize ebongisaki eloko moko te. Kasi elikya ya malamu koleka epesameli biso, elikya oyo, na nzela na yango, topusanaka pene ya Nzambe.
20 And inasmuch as not without an oath [he was made priest]:
Makambo wana nyonso esalemaki na nzela ya seleka oyo Nzambe akataki. Nzokande, mpo na Balevi, Nzambe akataki ata seleka te mpo ete bakoma Banganga-Nzambe.
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 )
Kasi Yesu akomaki Nganga-Nzambe na nzela ya seleka, tango Nzambe alobaki na Ye: « Nkolo akati seleka, mpe akobongola mokano na Ye te: ‹ Ozali Nganga-Nzambe mpo na libela. › » (aiōn )
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
Ezali na nzela ya seleka yango nde Yesu akoma ndanga ya boyokani oyo eleki motuya.
23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
Mpe lisusu, Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki kokitana ebele, pamba te kufa ezalaki kopekisa bango kosala mosala na bango libela na libela.
24 But this [man], because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. (aiōn )
Kasi mpo ete Yesu azali na bomoi seko na seko, Bonganga-Nzambe na Ye ezali mpo na libela. (aiōn )
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.
Yango wana azali na makoki ya kobikisa libela, bato oyo bapusanaka pene ya Nzambe na nzela na Ye, mpo ete azali tango nyonso na bomoi mpo na kobondelaka Nzambe na tina na bango.
26 For such an high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
Boye, Yesu nde azali Mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, oyo abongi mpo na biso: azali Bule, asala ata mabe moko te, azali peto, akabwana na bato ya masumu, mpe Nzambe atombola Ye penza likolo koleka Likolo,
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.
azali na posa te, lokola bakonzi mosusu ya Banganga-Nzambe, ya kotumbaka mbeka mokolo na mokolo mpo na masumu na Ye moko liboso, mpe, na sima, mpo na masumu ya bato, pamba te atumbaki mbeka yango mpo na masumu na bango mbala moko mpo na libela tango amikabaki Ye moko.
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 )
Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, oyo batiami na nzela ya Mibeko ya Moyize, bazali bato na bolembu; kasi Mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo Nzambe atie na nzela ya maloba ya seleka, oyo eyaki sima na Mibeko ya Moyize, azali Mwana na Ye moko, oyo azali ya kokoka mpo na libela. (aiōn )
