Hebrews 7
1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
Atĩrĩrĩ, Melikisedeki ũcio aarĩ mũthamaki wa Salemu na mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, o Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno. Nĩwe watũngire Iburahĩmu akĩinũka aarĩkia kũhoota athamaki, na akĩmũrathima,
2 to whom also Abraham divided "a tenth part of everything" (being first, by interpretation, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace;
nake Iburahĩmu akĩmũhe gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo ciothe. Rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩgĩtaũrwo mbere nĩ kuuga “mũthamaki wa ũthingu”; ningĩ “mũthamaki wa Salemu” nĩ kuuga “mũthamaki wa thayũ”.
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
Ndaarĩ na ithe kana nyina, kana kĩruka gĩake, na ndaarĩ na kĩambĩrĩria kĩa matukũ kana mũthia wa muoyo wake, nĩ ũndũ ũcio, we ahaana ta Mũrũ wa Ngai, egũtũũra arĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nginya tene.
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the most valuable plunder.
Ta mwĩciirie ũrĩa aarĩ mũnene: Atĩ o na ithe witũ Iburahĩmu nĩamũgaĩire gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo iria aatahĩte!
5 They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the Law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
Na rĩrĩ, watho uugĩte atĩ andũ a rũciaro rwa Lawi arĩa matuĩkaga athĩnjĩri-Ngai metagie gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kuuma kũrĩ andũ, ũguo nĩ kuuga ariũ a ithe wao, o na gwatuĩka ariũ a ithe wao nĩ a rũciaro rwa Iburahĩmu.
6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
No mũndũ ũcio ndaarĩ wa rũciaro rwa Lawi, no nĩamũkĩrire gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kuuma kũrĩ Iburahĩmu, na akĩrathima ũcio werĩirwo ciĩranĩro.
7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
Na hatirĩ nganja atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa mũnini nĩwe ũrathimagwo nĩ ũrĩa mũnene.
8 Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
Tũgakĩona atĩ, mwena ũmwe gĩcunjĩ kĩu gĩa ikũmi kĩũnganagio nĩ andũ arĩa macookaga gũkua, na nĩo Alawii; naguo mwena ũcio ũngĩ, kĩrutagĩrwo mũndũ ũrĩa uumbũrĩtwo ũhoro wake atĩ atũũraga o muoyo.
9 We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
O na mũndũ no oige atĩ Lawi, ũcio ũrutagĩrwo gĩcunjĩ kĩu gĩa ikũmi, we mwene nĩarutire gĩcunjĩ kĩu na njĩra ya Iburahĩmu,
10 for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
tondũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Melikisedeki aacemanirie na Iburahĩmu, Lawi aarĩ mũthiimo-inĩ wa ithe ũcio wa tene.
11 Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Korwo ũkinyanĩru kũna nĩũngĩonekanire na njĩra ya ũthĩnjĩri Ngai wa Alawii-rĩ, (nĩ ũndũ kĩrĩndĩ kĩaheirwo watho na njĩra ĩyo), gwakĩrĩ bata ũngĩ ũrĩkũ gũũke mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũngĩ, ũtariĩ ta Melikisedeki, na ndatuĩke ta wa nyũmba ya Harũni?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
Nĩgũkorwo ũhoro wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũngĩgarũrĩrwo-rĩ, o naguo watho no nginya ũgarũrĩrwo.
13 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
Nake mũndũ ũrĩa maũndũ maya maarĩtio nĩ ũndũ wake oimĩte mũhĩrĩga-inĩ ũngĩ, ũrĩa gũtarĩ mũndũ waguo ũrĩ watungatĩra Ngai kĩgongona-inĩ.
14 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩkũĩkaine wega atĩ Mwathani witũ oimire mũhĩrĩga-inĩ wa Juda, na ha ũhoro wa mũhĩrĩga ũcio-rĩ, Musa ndaigana kuuga ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũkoniĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
15 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
Na rĩrĩ, ũhoro ũrĩa twarĩtie no ũmenyeke wega makĩria angĩkorwo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũngĩ ũtariĩ ta Melikisedeki nĩonekanĩte,
16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
ũrĩa ũtuĩkĩte mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na ti kũringana na mũtugo wa rũciaro rwake, no nĩ tondũ wa ũhoti wa muoyo ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
17 for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
Nĩgũkorwo nĩkuumbũrĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Wee ũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nginya tene, o ta ũrĩa Melikisedeki aatariĩ.” (aiōn g165)
18 For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
Watho wa mbere nĩũtiganĩtwo naguo tondũ ndwarĩ na hinya na ũkaaga bata
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
(nĩgũkorwo watho ndũrĩ ũndũ watũmire wagĩrĩre kũna), no nĩtũheetwo kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩega makĩria kĩrĩa gĩtũhotithagia gũkuhĩrĩria Ngai.
20 Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath,
Na ũndũ ũyũ ndwekirwo hatarĩ mwĩhĩtwa! Andũ acio angĩ nĩmatuĩkaga athĩnjĩri-Ngai hatarĩ mwĩhĩtwa,
21 for they indeed have been made priests without an oath, but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.'" (aiōn g165)
nowe aatuĩkire mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na mwĩhĩtwa, rĩrĩa Ngai aamwĩrire atĩrĩ: “Jehova nĩehĩtĩte, na ndangĩĩricũkwo, akoiga atĩrĩ: ‘Wee ũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nginya tene.’” (aiōn g165)
22 Accordingly Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
Nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ, Jesũ nĩatuĩkĩte mũrũgamĩrĩri wa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa kĩega makĩria.
23 Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
Ningĩ-rĩ, nĩgũkoretwo na athĩnjĩri-Ngai aingĩ ta acio hau mbere, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakuaga magakĩgirio gũthiĩ na mbere na ũtungata ũcio.
No tondũ Jesũ atũũraga muoyo nginya tene-rĩ, ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai wake nĩ wa gũtũũra nginya tene. (aiōn g165)
25 Therefore he is also able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩahotaga kũhonokia kũna arĩa othe mokaga kũrĩ Ngai magereire harĩ we, nĩgũkorwo egũtũũra amathaithanagĩrĩra.
26 For such a high priest was indeed fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
Tondũ nĩ kwagĩrĩire tũgĩe na mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũnene ta ũcio, atũhingagĩrie bata witũ, na akorwo arĩ mũtheru, na atarĩ ũcuuke, kana rĩhia, na aamũranĩtio na ehia, o na agatũũgĩrio igũrũ rĩa igũrũ.
27 who does not need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
We ndekũbatara kũruta magongona mũthenya o mũthenya ta ũrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai anene acio angĩ meekaga, mbere nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make mwene, na thuutha ũcio nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma kĩrĩndĩ. We nĩarutire igongona nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao ihinda o rĩmwe rĩa kũigana hĩndĩ ĩrĩa eerutire we mwene.
28 For the Law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the Law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected. (aiōn g165)
Nĩgũkorwo watho ũtuaga andũ matarĩ hinya athĩnjĩri Ngai anene; no mwĩhĩtwa, ũrĩa wokire thuutha wa watho, nĩwaamũrire Mũriũ, ũrĩa ũtuĩkĩte mwagĩrĩru kũna nginya tene. (aiōn g165)
