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,
śālamasya rājā sarvvoparisthasyeśvarasya yājakaśca san yo nṛpatīnāṁ māraṇāt pratyāgatam ibrāhīmaṁ sākṣātkṛtyāśiṣaṁ gaditavān,
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;
yasmai cebrāhīm sarvvadravyāṇāṁ daśamāṁśaṁ dattavān sa malkīṣedak svanāmno'rthena prathamato dharmmarājaḥ paścāt śālamasya rājārthataḥ śāntirājo bhavati|
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.
aparaṁ tasya pitā mātā vaṁśasya nirṇaya āyuṣa ārambho jīvanasya śeṣaścaiteṣām abhāvo bhavati, itthaṁ sa īśvaraputrasya sadṛśīkṛtaḥ, sa tvanantakālaṁ yāvad yājakastiṣṭhati|
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the most valuable plunder.
ataevāsmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣa ibrāhīm yasmai luṭhitadravyāṇāṁ daśamāṁśaṁ dattavān sa kīdṛk mahān tad ālocayata|
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,
yājakatvaprāptā leveḥ santānā vyavasthānusāreṇa lokebhyo'rthata ibrāhīmo jātebhyaḥ svīyabhrātṛbhyo daśamāṁśagrahaṇasyādeśaṁ labdhavantaḥ|
6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
kintvasau yadyapi teṣāṁ vaṁśāt notpannastathāpībrāhīmo daśamāṁśaṁ gṛhītavān pratijñānām adhikāriṇam āśiṣaṁ gaditavāṁśca|
7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
aparaṁ yaḥ śreyān sa kṣudratarāyāśiṣaṁ dadātītyatra ko'pi sandeho nāsti|
8 Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
aparam idānīṁ ye daśamāṁśaṁ gṛhlanti te mṛtyoradhīnā mānavāḥ kintu tadānīṁ yo gṛhītavān sa jīvatītipramāṇaprāptaḥ|
9 We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
aparaṁ daśamāṁśagrāhī levirapībrāhīmdvārā daśamāṁśaṁ dattavān etadapi kathayituṁ śakyate|
10 for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
yato yadā malkīṣedak tasya pitaraṁ sākṣāt kṛtavān tadānīṁ sa leviḥ pitururasyāsīt|
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?
aparaṁ yasya sambandhe lokā vyavasthāṁ labdhavantastena levīyayājakavargeṇa yadi siddhiḥ samabhaviṣyat tarhi hāroṇasya śreṇyā madhyād yājakaṁ na nirūpyeśvareṇa malkīṣedakaḥ śreṇyā madhyād aparasyaikasya yājakasyotthāpanaṁ kuta āvaśyakam abhaviṣyat?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
yato yājakavargasya vinimayena sutarāṁ vyavasthāyā api vinimayo jāyate|
13 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
aparañca tad vākyaṁ yasyoddeśyaṁ so'pareṇa vaṁśena saṁyuktā'sti tasya vaṁśasya ca ko'pi kadāpi vedyāḥ karmma na kṛtavān|
14 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
vastutastu yaṁ vaṁśamadhi mūsā yājakatvasyaikāṁ kathāmapi na kathitavān tasmin yihūdāvaṁśe'smākaṁ prabhu rjanma gṛhītavān iti suspaṣṭaṁ|
15 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
tasya spaṣṭataram aparaṁ pramāṇamidaṁ yat malkīṣedakaḥ sādṛśyavatāpareṇa tādṛśena yājakenodetavyaṁ,
16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
yasya nirūpaṇaṁ śarīrasambandhīyavidhiyuktayā vyavasthāyā na bhavati kintvakṣayajīvanayuktayā śaktyā bhavati|
17 for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
yata īśvara idaṁ sākṣyaṁ dattavān, yathā, "tvaṁ maklīṣedakaḥ śreṇyāṁ yājako'si sadātanaḥ|" (aiōn g165)
18 For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
anenāgravarttino vidhe durbbalatāyā niṣphalatāyāśca hetorarthato vyavasthayā kimapi siddhaṁ na jātamitihetostasya lopo bhavati|
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
yayā ca vayam īśvarasya nikaṭavarttino bhavāma etādṛśī śreṣṭhapratyāśā saṁsthāpyate|
20 Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath,
aparaṁ yīśuḥ śapathaṁ vinā na niyuktastasmādapi sa śreṣṭhaniyamasya madhyastho jātaḥ|
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)
yataste śapathaṁ vinā yājakā jātāḥ kintvasau śapathena jātaḥ yataḥ sa idamuktaḥ, yathā,
22 Accordingly Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
"parameśa idaṁ śepe na ca tasmānnivartsyate| tvaṁ malkīṣedakaḥ śreṇyāṁ yājako'si sadātanaḥ|" (aiōn g165)
23 Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
te ca bahavo yājakā abhavan yataste mṛtyunā nityasthāyitvāt nivāritāḥ,
kintvasāvanantakālaṁ yāvat tiṣṭhati tasmāt tasya yājakatvaṁ na parivarttanīyaṁ| (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.
tato heto rye mānavāsteneśvarasya sannidhiṁ gacchanti tān sa śeṣaṁ yāvat paritrātuṁ śaknoti yatasteṣāṁ kṛte prārthanāṁ karttuṁ sa satataṁ jīvati|
26 For such a high priest was indeed fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
aparam asmākaṁ tādṛśamahāyājakasya prayojanamāsīd yaḥ pavitro 'hiṁsako niṣkalaṅkaḥ pāpibhyo bhinnaḥ svargādapyuccīkṛtaśca syāt|
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.
aparaṁ mahāyājakānāṁ yathā tathā tasya pratidinaṁ prathamaṁ svapāpānāṁ kṛte tataḥ paraṁ lokānāṁ pāpānāṁ kṛte balidānasya prayojanaṁ nāsti yata ātmabalidānaṁ kṛtvā tad ekakṛtvastena sampāditaṁ|
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)
yato vyavasthayā ye mahāyājakā nirūpyante te daurbbalyayuktā mānavāḥ kintu vyavasthātaḥ paraṁ śapathayuktena vākyena yo mahāyājako nirūpitaḥ so 'nantakālārthaṁ siddhaḥ putra eva| (aiōn g165)
