< 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,
Melikisedeki mwenuyo avi nkosi wa Salemu, na Mteta mkulu wa Chapanga mweavi kunani neju. Ibulahimu peawuyayi kuhuma ku ngondo kweavakomili vankosi, Melikisedeki akonganiki nayu, namwene Melikisedeki ammotisi,
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),
na Ibulahimu ampelili lilundu la kumi pa vindu vyoha vyeanyagili kungondo. Mana ya liina Meilikisedeki, “Nkosi mbwina palongolo Chapanga,” Muni avi Nkosi wa Salemu liina laki mewa mana yaki “Nkosi wa uteke.”
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.
Avi lepi na dadi amala mau mewa avi lepi na lukolo, kawaka mundu mweimanya avelekiwi ndali amala afwili ndali. Iwanangana na Mwana wa Chapanga, na iyendelela kuvya Mteta Mkulu magono goha gangali mwishu.
4 And see how great this one [is], to whom Abraham the patriarch also gave a tenth out of the best of the spoils,
Hinu, mhololela mundu uyu cheavili mkulu. Hati Gogo witu Ibulahimu ampelili lilundu la kumi pa vindu vyoha vyeanyagili ku ngondo.
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;
Kulandana na Mihilu ya Chapanga, yikuvahamula vachiveleku va Lawi ndi vamteta vakulu va Chapanga, viganikiwa kupokela lilundu limonga pagati ya kumi kuhuma kwa valongo vavi vandu va Isilaeli, pamonga vene valongo vavi ndi vachiveleku va Ibulahimu.
6 and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and he has blessed him having the promises,
Nambu Melikisedeki mwenuyu avi lepi wa Chiveleku cha Lawi, nambu apokili lilundu la kumi kuhuma kwa Ibulahimu, kavili ammotisi mwene mweapewili lilagizu na Chapanga.
7 and apart from all controversy, the less is blessed by the better—
Na timanyili bwina kuvya mkulu ndi mweakummotisa mdebe.
8 and here, indeed, men who die receive tithes, and there [he] who is testified to that he was living,
Kangi mu lijambu lenili vakulu va kuteta va Chapanga vevipokela lilundu la kumi, ndi vandu vevifwa, nambu Melikisedeki mweapokili lilundu la kumi yijoveka kuvya ifwa lepi.
9 and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, has paid tithes,
Kangi, tihotola kujova kuvya, Ibulahimu peawusili lilundu la kumi, mewawa Lawi pamonga vachiveleku vaki ndi vevipokela lilundu la kumi mewa Lawi awusili lilundu la kumi ndava muni avi chiveleku cha Ibulahimu.
10 for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchizedek met him.
Ndava Melikisedeki peakonganiki na Ibulahimu, Lawi avi akona kuvelekewa, avi akona muhiga ya dadi waki.
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?
Vandu va Isilaeli vapewili malagizu mumkingisa wa uteta wa Valawi. Ngati lihengu la uteta lavi kamilifu, ngayiganikiwi lepi kuhumila mteta yungi wa Chapanga mweiwanangana na Melikisedeki, na lepi Aloni.
12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, a change comes of the Law,
Ndava muni uteta wa Chapanga wakang'anamuka, malagizu na gene mewawa ging'anamuka.
13 for He of whom these things are said in another tribe has had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar,
Na Bambu witu ndi mambu goha getijova ndava yaki, avi wa likabila lingi na kawaka hati mmonga wa likabila laki mweahengili pa lusanja lwa luteta ngati mteta Chapanga.
14 for [it is] evident that out of Judah has arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
Timanyili hotohoto kuvya Bambu witu ihuma mu likabila la Yuda, Musa aliluwili lepi peajovili kuuvala lukolo lwenulo mu mambu ga vamteta va Chapanga.
15 And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
Kangi lijambu lenili lilangisa hotohoto neju, malovi aga, ahumalili mteta yungi mweavi ngati Melikisedeki.
16 who did not come according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,
Mwene akitiwi lepi mteta wa Chapanga kwa malagizu na malagizu ga chimundu, nambu kwa makakala ga wumi wangali mwishu.
17 for He testifies, “You [are] a priest—throughout the age, according to the order of Melchizedek”; (aiōn )
Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Veve ndi Mteta wa Chapanga wa magono goha gangali mwishu ngati cheuvili uteta wa Melikisedeki.” (aiōn )
18 for an annulling indeed comes of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness
Hinu, mhilu wula wa kadeni yavikiwi pamuhana ndava yangali makakala na yangafaya chindu.
19 (for nothing did the Law perfect), and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
Muni Malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa gangahotola kukamilisa lijambu loloha. Nambu hinu, pandu paki pavikiwi huvalila yabwina neju yeyihotosa kumhegelela Chapanga papipi.
20 And inasmuch as [it is] not apart from oath
Neju ya genago, apa pavi na chilapu cha Chapanga. Lukumbi vala vangi pavakitiwi vamteta va Chapanga pangali chilapu chochoha.
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 )
Nambu Yesu ahengiwi kuvya Mteta kwa chilapu lukumbi Chapanga peamjovili, “Bambu alapili, kangi ing'anamuka lepi maholo gaki, ‘Veve ndi mteta wa Chapanga magono goha gangali mwishu.’” (aiōn )
22 by so much also has Jesus become guarantee of a better covenant,
Hinu, ndava ya kulapa kwenuko, Yesu ndi ulangisu wa chakaka wa kutilangisa tivii na huvalila ya lilaganu labwina neju.
23 and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;
Kangi kwavi na vamteta vangi vamahele va lilaganu la kadeni, vangahotola kuyendelela na lihengu lavi ndava vafwili.
24 and He, because of His remaining throughout the age, has the inviolable priesthood, (aiōn )
Nambu Yesu itama magono goha gangali mwishu, na uteta waki wihotoleka lepi kupewa mundu yungi. (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.
Ndava yeniyo, mwene ihotola kuvasangula voha vevakumhambila Chapanga kwa njila yaki, ndava itama magono goha gangali mwishu, muni avayupila kwa Chapanga.
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,
Muni taganikiwi kuvya na Mteta Mkulu ngati mwenuyu mweavi Msopi na angabuda na mwangambudila Chapanga. Mweabaguliwi kutali na vevakumbudila Chapanga, na mweatoliwi kunani neju kwa Chapanga.
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;
Mwene avi lepi ngati vamteta vakulu vangi, iganikiwa lepi kuwusa luteta lwa kuhinjwa hinyama kila ligono, ndava ya kubuda kwaki mwene kavili ndava ya kubuda kwa vandu vangi. Mwene ajiwusili kuvya luteta mala yimonga ndu mu lukumbi lwoha.
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 )
Malagizu ga Musa gakuvahagula vandu vangolongondi kuvya vamteta vakulu va Chapanga, nambu malagizu ga Chapanga gahengili kwa chilapu chechibwela palongolo ya malagizu, gamhagwili Mwana mweakitiwi mkamilifu magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōn )
