< Hebrews 7 >
1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham turning back from the striking 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 divided a tenth of all (first, indeed, being interpreted, “King of righteousness,” and then 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 genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and having been like the Son of God, remains 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 And see how great this one [is], to whom Abraham the patriarch also gave a tenth out of the best 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 those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, have a command to take tithes from the people according to the Law, that is, their brothers, even though they came forth 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 and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and he has blessed him having 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 apart from all controversy, the less is blessed by 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, indeed, men who die receive tithes, and there [he] who is testified to that he was living,
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 so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, has paid tithes,
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 the father when Melchizedek met him.
pamba te, tango Melishisedeki akutanaki na Abrayami, Levi azalaki nanu kati na mokongo ya koko na ye, Abrayami.
11 If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood—for the people under it had received law—what further need, according to the order of Melchizedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to 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, of necessity also, a change comes of the Law,
Nzokande, lokola bonganga-Nzambe ebongwani, mobeko mpe esengeli kobongwana.
13 for He of whom these things are said in another tribe has had part, of whom no one 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 out of Judah has arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spoke 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 more abundantly most evident, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
Likambo oyo tozali kolobela ekomi lisusu polele koleka awa Nganga-Nzambe mosusu abimi, Nganga-Nzambe oyo akokani na Melishisedeki;
16 who did not come according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to 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 testifies, “You [are] a priest—throughout the age, according to the order of Melchizedek”; (aiōn )
Pamba te, tala litatoli oyo baloba na tina na Ye: « Ozali Nganga-Nzambe mpo na libela, kolanda molongo ya Melishisedeki. » (aiōn )
18 for an annulling indeed comes of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness
Boye, Nzambe alongolaki mobeko ya liboso mpo ete ezalaki makasi te mpe ezalaki na tina te.
19 (for nothing did the Law perfect), and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to 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 [it is] not apart from oath
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 indeed apart from oath have become priests, and He [became priest] with an oath through Him who is saying to Him, “The LORD swore, and will not regret, You [are] a priest throughout the age, according to the order of Melchizedek”), (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 also has Jesus become guarantee of a better covenant,
Ezali na nzela ya seleka yango nde Yesu akoma ndanga ya boyokani oyo eleki motuya.
23 and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;
Mpe lisusu, Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki kokitana ebele, pamba te kufa ezalaki kopekisa bango kosala mosala na bango libela na libela.
24 and He, because of His remaining throughout the age, has the inviolable priesthood, (aiōn )
Kasi mpo ete Yesu azali na bomoi seko na seko, Bonganga-Nzambe na Ye ezali mpo na libela. (aiōn )
25 from where also He is able to save to the very end, those coming through Him to God—ever living 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 also such a Chief Priest was fitting for us—holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and having become 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 has no daily necessity, as the chief priests, to first offer up sacrifice for His own sins, then for those of the people; for this He did once, having 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 appoints men [as] chief priests, having weakness, but the word of the oath that [is] after the Law [appoints] the Son having been perfected throughout the age. (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 )
