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,
ουτοσ γαρ ο μελχισεδεκ βασιλευσ σαλημ ιερευσ του θεου του υψιστου ο συναντησασ αβρααμ υποστρεφοντι απο τησ κοπησ των βασιλεων και ευλογησασ αυτον
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;
ω και δεκατην απο παντων εμερισεν αβρααμ πρωτον μεν ερμηνευομενοσ βασιλευσ δικαιοσυνησ επειτα δε και βασιλευσ σαλημ ο εστιν βασιλευσ ειρηνησ
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.
απατωρ αμητωρ αγενεαλογητοσ μητε αρχην ημερων μητε ζωησ τελοσ εχων αφωμοιωμενοσ δε τω υιω του θεου μενει ιερευσ εισ το διηνεκεσ
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the most valuable plunder.
θεωρειτε δε πηλικοσ ουτοσ ω και δεκατην αβρααμ εδωκεν εκ των ακροθινιων ο πατριαρχησ
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,
και οι μεν εκ των υιων λευι την ιερατειαν λαμβανοντεσ εντολην εχουσιν αποδεκατουν τον λαον κατα τον νομον τουτ εστιν τουσ αδελφουσ αυτων καιπερ εξεληλυθοτασ εκ τησ οσφυοσ αβρααμ
6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
ο δε μη γενεαλογουμενοσ εξ αυτων δεδεκατωκεν τον αβρααμ και τον εχοντα τασ επαγγελιασ ευλογηκεν
7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
χωρισ δε πασησ αντιλογιασ το ελαττον υπο του κρειττονοσ ευλογειται
8 Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
και ωδε μεν δεκατασ αποθνησκοντεσ ανθρωποι λαμβανουσιν εκει δε μαρτυρουμενοσ οτι ζη
9 We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
και ωσ εποσ ειπειν δια αβρααμ και λευι ο δεκατασ λαμβανων δεδεκατωται
10 for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
ετι γαρ εν τη οσφυι του πατροσ ην οτε συνηντησεν αυτω ο μελχισεδεκ
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?
ει μεν ουν τελειωσισ δια τησ λευιτικησ ιερωσυνησ ην ο λαοσ γαρ επ αυτη νενομοθετητο τισ ετι χρεια κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ ετερον ανιστασθαι ιερεα και ου κατα την ταξιν ααρων λεγεσθαι
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
μετατιθεμενησ γαρ τησ ιερωσυνησ εξ αναγκησ και νομου μεταθεσισ γινεται
13 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
εφ ον γαρ λεγεται ταυτα φυλησ ετερασ μετεσχηκεν αφ ησ ουδεισ προσεσχηκεν τω θυσιαστηριω
14 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
προδηλον γαρ οτι εξ ιουδα ανατεταλκεν ο κυριοσ ημων εισ ην φυλην ουδεν περι ιερωσυνησ μωυσησ ελαλησεν
15 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
και περισσοτερον ετι καταδηλον εστιν ει κατα την ομοιοτητα μελχισεδεκ ανισταται ιερευσ ετεροσ
16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
οσ ου κατα νομον εντολησ σαρκικησ γεγονεν αλλα κατα δυναμιν ζωησ ακαταλυτου
17 for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
μαρτυρει γαρ οτι συ ιερευσ εισ τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ (aiōn g165)
18 For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
αθετησισ μεν γαρ γινεται προαγουσησ εντολησ δια το αυτησ ασθενεσ και ανωφελεσ
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
ουδεν γαρ ετελειωσεν ο νομοσ επεισαγωγη δε κρειττονοσ ελπιδοσ δι ησ εγγιζομεν τω θεω
20 Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath,
και καθ οσον ου χωρισ ορκωμοσιασ οι μεν γαρ χωρισ ορκωμοσιασ εισιν ιερεισ γεγονοτεσ
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)
ο δε μετα ορκωμοσιασ δια του λεγοντοσ προσ αυτον ωμοσεν κυριοσ και ου μεταμεληθησεται συ ιερευσ εισ τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ (aiōn g165)
22 Accordingly Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
κατα τοσουτον κρειττονοσ διαθηκησ γεγονεν εγγυοσ ιησουσ
23 Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
και οι μεν πλειονεσ εισιν γεγονοτεσ ιερεισ δια το θανατω κωλυεσθαι παραμενειν
ο δε δια το μενειν αυτον εισ τον αιωνα απαραβατον εχει την ιερωσυνην (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.
οθεν και σωζειν εισ το παντελεσ δυναται τουσ προσερχομενουσ δι αυτου τω θεω παντοτε ζων εισ το εντυγχανειν υπερ αυτων
26 For such a high priest was indeed fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
τοιουτοσ γαρ ημιν επρεπεν αρχιερευσ οσιοσ ακακοσ αμιαντοσ κεχωρισμενοσ απο των αμαρτωλων και υψηλοτεροσ των ουρανων γενομενοσ
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.
οσ ουκ εχει καθ ημεραν αναγκην ωσπερ οι αρχιερεισ προτερον υπερ των ιδιων αμαρτιων θυσιασ αναφερειν επειτα των του λαου τουτο γαρ εποιησεν εφαπαξ εαυτον ανενεγκασ
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)
ο νομοσ γαρ ανθρωπουσ καθιστησιν αρχιερεισ εχοντασ ασθενειαν ο λογοσ δε τησ ορκωμοσιασ τησ μετα τον νομον υιον εισ τον αιωνα τετελειωμενον (aiōn g165)
