< 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, —
Na saa Melkisedek yi yɛ Salemhene, na ɔsan yɛ Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn sɔfo. Bere a Abraham fi ɔko a okum ahemfo ano reba no, Melkisedek hyiaa no hyiraa no.
2 To whom even a tenth of all Abraham apportioned, first, indeed, when translated, King of Righteousness, but, after that, King of Salem also, which is King of Peace, —
Abraham maa no nʼasade no mu nkyɛmu du mu baako. Melkisedek din no nkyerɛase a edi kan no ne Trenee Hene. Esiane sɛ na ɔyɛ Salem hene no nti, wɔkyerɛɛ ne din no ase sɛ Asomdwoe hene.
3 Without father, without mother, without pedigree, having, neither beginning of days, nor of life an end, but made like unto the Son of God, abideth a priest evermore.
Obi nnim Melkisedek agya, ne na, ne ne mpanyimfo ho asɛm. Saa ara na obi nnim nʼawo ne ne wu nso ho asɛm. Ɔsɛ Onyankopɔn Ba, na ɔda so yɛ ɔsɔfo daadaa.
4 Now consider, how great, this man was, to whom, a tenth, Abraham gave out of the choicest spoils, [Yea Abraham] the Patriarch.
Eyi di ho adanse sɛ na ɔyɛ onipa kɛse a Agya Abraham mpo tumi ma no nʼasade mu nkyɛmu du mu baako.
5 And, they, indeed, from among the sons of Levi who the priesthood receive, have commandment to take tithes of the people, according to the law, that is, of their brethren, although sprung from the loins of Abraham;
Nanso Lewi asefo a wɔyɛ asɔfo no Mmara na ɛhyɛ wɔn sɛ wonnye nkyɛmu du mu baako mfi wɔn ara wɔn nkurɔfo Israelfo a wɔn nso yɛ Abraham asefo no nkyɛn.
6 But, he who deriveth not his pedigree from among them, hath taken tithes of Abraham. And, the holder of the promises, hath he blessed.
Melkisedek nyɛ Lewi aseni, nanso ogyee nkyɛmu du mu baako fii Abraham nkyɛn hyiraa no ma onyaa Onyankopɔn bɔhyɛ no.
7 But, apart from all gainsaying, the less, by the greater, is blessed.
Akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ nea ɔma nhyira so sen nea ogye nhyira.
8 And, here, indeed, dying men take tithes, but, there, one of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
Wɔde nnipa akatua nkyɛmu du mu baako ma asɔfo a wowu, gye Melkisedek a Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se ɔte ase.
9 And—so to say a word—through Abraham, even Levi who taketh tithes hath paid tithes;
Enti nokware, Abraham tuaa nkyɛmu du no, Lewi a nʼasefo gye nkyɛmu du no nso nam Abraham so tuaa bi maa Melkisedek.
10 For, even then, was he, in the loins of his father, when, Melchizedek, met him.
Na wɔnwoo Lewi ɛ, nanso esiane sɛ na ɔhyɛ ne nena Abraham mu saa bere no a Melkisedek hyiaa no no nti na otuae.
11 If indeed, therefore, there had been, a perfecting through means of the Levitical priesthood, —for, the people, thereon, have had based a code of laws, what further need, according to the rank of Melchizedek, for a different priest to be raised up, and, not according to the rank of Aaron, to be designated?
Esiane Lewi asɔfodi nti na wɔde Mmara no maa Israelfo. Ɛno nti sɛ Lewifo asɔfodi no tumi de pɛyɛ brɛ nnipa a, anka ho nhia sɛ wɔbɛfa ɔsɔfo foforo bi sɛ Melkisedek a omfi Aaron abusua mu.
12 For, seeing there is to be a change of the priesthood, of necessity, of law too, a change cometh.
Sɛ ɛba sɛ asɔfodi no sesa a, ɛma ho mmara no nso sesa.
13 For, he as to whom these things are said, with a different tribe, hath taken partnership, from which, no one, hath given attendance at the altar;
Nanso yɛn Awurade a wɔka saa asɛm yi nyinaa fa ne ho no fi abusua foforo mu. Ne busuani biara nnii ɔsɔfo wɔ afɔremuka ho da.
14 For it is, very evident, that out of Judah hath sprung our Lord, —respecting which tribe, concerning priests, nothing did Moses speak,
Ɛyɛ sɛnnahɔ sɛ wɔwoo no too Yuda abusua mu, na Mose kaa asɔfo ho asɛm no nso, wammɔ nʼabusua din da.
15 And, yet more abundantly evident it is—that, according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there is to be raised up, a different priest.
Asɛm no da ne ho adi pefee, efisɛ ɔsɔfo foforo bi aba a ɔte sɛ Melkisedek.
16 Who, not according to a law of commandment dealing with the flesh, hath arisen, but according to the power of an indissoluble life;
Ɔno de, ɛnnam onipa mmara so na wɔhyɛɛ no ɔsɔfo, na mmom wɔnam nkwa a enni awiei tumi so na ɛyɛɛ no ɔsɔfo.
17 For it is witnessed—Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly, according to the rank of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Wobɛyɛ ɔsɔfo akosi daa sɛnea Melkisedek asɔfokwan nhyehyɛe te no.” (aiōn g165)
18 For, a setting aside, doth, indeed, take place, of a foregoing commandment, by reason of its own weakness and unprofitableness, —
Wɔatow mmara dedaw no akyene, efisɛ sintɔ bi wɔ mmara no mu, na so nni mfaso nso,
19 For, the law, perfected, nothing; but there is the superinducing of a better hope, —through which we draw near unto God.
efisɛ Mose Mmara no antumi amma biribiara anni mu, na wɔde anidaso pa bi a yɛnam so bɛn Onyankopɔn aba.
20 And, inasmuch as not apart from oath-taking—
Na wɔanyɛ a ntanka nka ho. Bere a ɔhyɛɛ Aaron asefo asɔfo no, na ntam a ɛte saa nni hɔ.
21 For, they, indeed, apart from oath-taking, have been made priests, but, he, with an oath-taking, through him that was saying unto him—The Lord sware, and will not regret, —Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly (aiōn g165)
Yesu de, ɔnam ntam so bɛyɛɛ ɔsɔfo bere a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Awurade aka ntam; na ɔrensesa nʼadwene a ese, ‘Wobɛyɛ ɔsɔfo daa nyinaa no.’” (aiōn g165)
22 By as much as this, hath, Jesus, become surety of a better covenant also.
Saa ntam yi nti, Yesu gyina mu ma yɛn, na ɛma yɛne Onyankopɔn apam no di mu.
23 And, they, indeed, in greater numbers, have been made priests, because, by reason of death, are they hindered from remaining at hand;
Nsonoe foforo bi nso wɔ hɔ. Na saa asɔfo no dɔɔso, efisɛ na wowuwu a wontumi ntoa wɔn adwuma so.
24 But, he, by reason of his remaining age-abidingly, untransmissible, holdeth, the priesthood. (aiōn g165)
Nanso esiane sɛ Yesu wɔ hɔ daa no nti, ɔwɔ asɔfodi a ɛtena hɔ daa. (aiōn g165)
25 Whence he is able, even to be saving unto the very end, them who approach, through him, unto God; Since he evermore liveth to be interceding in their behalf.
Enti otumi gye wɔn a wɔnam ne so ba Onyankopɔn nkyɛn no nnɛ ne daa, efisɛ, ɔte hɔ daa srɛ Onyankopɔn ma wɔn.
26 For, such a high-priest as this, for us, was [even] suited: Loving, noble, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and become, higher than the heavens;
Yesu ne Ɔsɔfopanyin a ɔboa yɛn wɔ yɛn ahiasɛm mu. Ɔyɛ kronkron. Onni mfomso biara wɔ ne mu, na ɔnyɛ bɔne. Wɔatew no afi nnebɔneyɛfo ho na wɔama no so aboro ɔsoro so.
27 Who hath no daily necessity, like the high-priests, beforehand, over his own sins, to be offering sacrifices, after that, over those, of the people, —for, this, he did once for all when, himself, he offered up.
Ɔnte sɛ asɔfo mpanyin a wɔaka no a, daa afɔre a wɔbɔ no kan no wɔbɔ wɔ wɔn bɔne a wayɛ ho ansa na afei, wabɔ afoforo de no. Ɔbɔɔ afɔre baako pɛ a ɔde ne ho na ɛbɔe.
28 For, the law, constituteth, men, high-priests, having, weakness; but, the word of the oath-taking, which cometh after the law, A Son, age-abidingly, made perfect. (aiōn g165)
Mose Mmara no yi nnipa a wɔmfata sɛ wɔyɛ asɔfo mpanyin, nanso Onyankopɔn bɔ a ɔde ntam kaa ho no a ɛbaa wɔ Mmara no akyi no yii Ɔba no a ɔyɛ pɛ daa nyinaa no. (aiōn g165)
