Hebrews 7
1 It was this Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and gave him his blessing;
Ri Melquisedec are jun nim taqanel rech ri tinimit Salem xuqujeꞌ chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq rech ri nimalaj Dios, xpe chukꞌulaxik xuqujeꞌ chutewechiꞌj ri Abraham are xechꞌektaj kanoq ri e taqanelabꞌ rumal
2 and it was to him that Abraham allotted a tithe of all the spoil. The meaning of his name is ‘king of righteousness,’ and besides that, he was also king of Salem, which means ‘king of peace.’
ri Abraham xuya ri lajujil rech ronojel ri xuꞌchꞌeka loq pa ri chꞌoꞌj che ri Melquisedec. Ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Melquisedec kel kubꞌij taqanel rech sukꞌal xuqujeꞌ taqanel rech ri tinimit Salem, ri kel kubꞌij taqanel rech jaꞌmaril.
3 There is no record of his father, or mother, or lineage, nor again of any beginning of his days, or end of his life. In this he resembles the Son of God, and stands before us as a priest whose priesthood is continuous.
Man kꞌo jun etaꞌmaninaq jawjeꞌ xepe wi ri utat unan, man e kꞌo ta ratiꞌt uꞌmam, xuqujeꞌ man etaꞌmatal jampaꞌ xchapleꞌtaj loq ri ukꞌaslemal xuqujeꞌ jampaꞌ kakꞌisik, jun chꞌawenel cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, kajunumataj rukꞌ ri uKꞌojol ri Dios, ri kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq.
4 Consider, then the importance of this Melchizedek, to whom even the patriarch Abraham himself gave a tithe of the choicest spoils.
Qas chiwilampeꞌ chi ri Melquisedec sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij, rumal riꞌ ri Abraham xuya ri lajuj re ronojel ri xuꞌchꞌeka loq pa ri chꞌoꞌj che.
5 Those descendants of Levi, who are from time to time appointed to the priesthood, are directed to collect tithes from the people in accordance with the Law – that is from their own kindred, although they also are descended from Abraham.
Qas tzij wi, ri e rijaꞌl ri Leví ri kakikꞌamawaꞌj uqꞌabꞌ ri ubꞌanik ri chꞌawem cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, ri taqanik kubꞌij chi taqal chike kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri lajuj re ri kichꞌekoj ri tinimit, pa juleꞌ taq tzij chik pune we winaq riꞌ alaxik kukꞌ ri nikꞌaj chik e rijaꞌl xuqujeꞌ ri Abraham.
6 But Melchizedek, although not of this lineage, received tithes from Abraham, and gave his blessing to the man who had God’s promises.
Ri Melquisedec kꞌut, rumal che ri man rijaꞌl ta ri Leví, xukꞌamawaꞌj ri lajuj re ri xuꞌchꞌeka loq ri Abraham pa ri chꞌoꞌj kꞌa te riꞌ xutewechiꞌj ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios rumal chi areꞌ ubꞌim loq we jastaq riꞌ che.
7 Now no one can dispute that it is the superior who blesses the inferior.
Qas tzij wi qetaꞌm chi ri winaq ri kayoꞌw tewechibꞌal are nim cho ri kakꞌamawaꞌnik ri tewechibꞌal.
8 In the one case the tithes are received by people who are mortal; in the other case by one about whom there is the statement that his life still continues.
Ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios ri kekꞌamawaꞌnik ri lajuj re ri kichꞌekoj ri winaq, e winaq ri xa kekamik, are kꞌu ri Melquisedec kꞌaslik, rumal cher ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik man kubꞌij taj chi ri Melquisedec xkamik.
9 Moreover, in a sense, even Levi, who is the receiver of the tithes, has, through Abraham, paid tithes;
Kuyaꞌo kaqabꞌij chi ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios kamik, ri e rijaꞌl ri Leví, xkiya xuqujeꞌ ri lajuj re ri kichꞌekoj che ri Melquisedec, rumal cher are ri Abraham xtojow pa kibꞌiꞌ aꞌreꞌ.
10 for Levi was still in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
Rumal cher konojel ri e rijaꞌl ri Leví e rijaꞌl ri Abraham. Pune kꞌamajaꞌ kekꞌojiꞌk are xuriq ri Abraham ri Melquisedec, e kꞌo wi loq che ri Abraham.
11 If, then, perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood – and it was under this priesthood that the people received the Law – why was it still necessary that a priest of a different order should appear, a priest of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?
Are ri Dios xyoꞌwik ri taqanik chike ri tinimit Israel. We taqanik riꞌ xbꞌanik rumal cher xchomax rij chi ri e rijaꞌl ri Leví keꞌkitoꞌ ri winaq rech kuꞌx sukꞌ. Xa kꞌu rumal cher man xekwin taj ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios xkibꞌan waꞌ we riꞌ, tzi choqꞌaqꞌ wi chi xpe jun kꞌakꞌ chꞌawenel cho ri Dios: jun chꞌawenel cho ri Dios ri man rijaꞌl taj ri Aarón xane rijaꞌl ri Melquisedec.
12 With the change of the priesthood a change of the Law became a necessity.
Rumal cher we kakꞌexetaj ri chꞌawenel cho ri Dios, kakꞌexetaj xuqujeꞌ ri taqanik.
13 And he of whom all this is said belonged to quite a different tribe, no member of which has ever served at the altar.
Qas tzij, are Jesús we katzijox rij chi riꞌ, Areꞌ upetik chike jupuq winaq chik ri man patanijinaq taj cho ri tzujbꞌal.
14 For it is plain that our Lord had sprung from the tribe of Judah, though of that tribe Moses said nothing about their being priests.
Tzi qꞌalaj chi ri Ajawxel chike ri jupuq winaq Judá upetik wi, ri taqanik kubꞌij chi man kuya taj kape jun chꞌawenel cho ri Dios chike we winaq riꞌ.
15 All this becomes even yet plainer when we remember that a new priest has appeared, resembling Melchizedek,
Sibꞌalaj man kꞌax taj uchomaxik we kaqakoj pa kwenta chi we chꞌawenel cho ri Dios ri tajin kaqatzijoj rij, kajunumataj rukꞌ ri Melquisedec.
16 and that he was appointed, not under a Law regulating only earthly matters, but by virtue of a life beyond the reach of death;
Man kajunumataj ta kꞌut kukꞌ nikꞌaj chꞌawenelabꞌ chik, rumal cher man xchaꞌ taj rumal chi kape chike jupuq kꞌyaqalik winaq, xane xchaꞌik rumal cher kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq.
17 for that is the meaning of the declaration – ‘You are for all time a priest of the order of Melchizedek.’ (aiōn g165)
Kaqꞌalajisax kꞌut pa ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik are kubꞌij: At at chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq chibꞌe qꞌij saq, jetaq ri Melquisedec. (aiōn g165)
18 On the one hand, we have the abolition of a previous regulation as being both inefficient and useless
Xaq jeriꞌ ri utaqanik ri Moisés xqꞌatiꞌk rumal cher man kꞌo ta xutayij.
19 (for the Law never brought anything to perfection); and, on the other hand, we have the introduction of a better hope, which enables us to draw near to God.
Rumal cher ri taqanik, man xkwin taj xubꞌan sukꞌ chike ri winaq. Rumal kꞌu riꞌ xokisax chi loq jun kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx ri kakwinik kujuqebꞌisaj rukꞌ ri Dios.
20 Then again, the appointment of this new priest was ratified by an oath, which is not so with the Levitical priests,
Ri Dios xubꞌan jun chꞌekom tzij kukꞌ chi kuya wi na jun kichꞌawenel cho ri Dios man jetaq ta ri e kꞌo kanoq nabꞌe. Ri nikꞌaj e chꞌawenelabꞌ ri e kꞌo kanoq nabꞌe are xoꞌkik man xbꞌan ta chꞌekom tzij kukꞌ.
21 but his appointment was ratified by an oath, when God said to him – ‘The Lord has sworn, and will not change, “You are a priest for all time.”’ (aiōn g165)
Are xok ri Cristo che chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, ri Dios xubꞌan jun chꞌekom tzij rukꞌ Areꞌ, rumal cher pa ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Ri Ajawxel xubꞌan jun chꞌekom tzij man kakꞌexen ta wi ri uchomanik: “At at chꞌawenel wi chibꞌe qꞌij saq, jetaq ri Melquisedec.” (aiōn g165)
22 And the oath shows the corresponding superiority of the covenant of which Jesus is appointed the surety.
Rumal riꞌ are ri Jesús yoꞌwinaq kuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx chi kꞌo jun jeꞌl chꞌekom tzij ri uyoꞌm ri Dios chaqe.
23 Again, new Levitical priests are continually being appointed, because death prevents their remaining in office;
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi chꞌawenelabꞌ xaq kakikꞌex kibꞌ chubꞌanik ri kipatan rumal chi kekamik.
24 but Jesus remains for all time, and therefore the priesthood that he holds will never pass to another. (aiōn g165)
Ri Jesús rumal che ri maj ukamik, are wa chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, ri kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq. (aiōn g165)
25 And that is why he is able to save perfectly those who come to God through him, living for ever, as he does, to intercede of their behalf.
Rumal kꞌu riꞌ ri Jesús kakwinik kuꞌkol konojel ri keqebꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Areꞌ kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq chubꞌanik chꞌawem pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri winaq amaqꞌel.
26 This was the high priest that we needed – holy, innocent, spotless, withdrawn from sinners, exalted above the highest heaven,
Rumal cher ri Jesús are kinimal chꞌawenelabꞌ ri kajawataj chaqe. Rumal cher ri Jesús man kꞌo taj umak, man kꞌo ta chꞌulujil che Areꞌ, xuqujeꞌ man kachiꞌl ta aꞌjmakibꞌ xane yaꞌtal nim uqꞌij cho ri kaj.
27 one who has no need to offer sacrifices daily as those high priests have, first for their own sins, and then for those of the people. For this he did once and for all, when he offered himself as the sacrifice.
Man kajunumataj ta kukꞌ ri nikꞌaj e kinimaꞌqil taq chꞌawenelabꞌ chik. Ri Jesús man kutzuj ta sipanik qꞌij chi qꞌij rumal ri umak, kꞌa te riꞌ rumal kimak ri tinimit, xane Areꞌ xutzuj jun sipanik xa junmul chibꞌe qꞌij saq, are ri ukꞌaslemal.
28 The Law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the words of God’s oath, which was later than the Law, name the Son as, for all time, the perfect priest. (aiōn g165)
Qas tzij wi, ri taqanik kuꞌchaꞌ achyabꞌ ri xaq kebꞌaqꞌoꞌtik rech kuꞌxik e kinimaꞌqil ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios, are kꞌu ri chꞌekom tzij ri xbꞌanik are yaꞌom chik ri taqanik are xuchaꞌo ri Kꞌojolaxel rech kok che kinimaꞌqil chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, are wa ri bꞌantal sukꞌ che, chibꞌe qꞌij saq. (aiōn g165)
