Hebrews 7
1 Now this Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. When Abraham was returning from the slaughter of the kings, Melchizedek met him and blessed him,
A O ua Melekisedeka la hoi, ke alii o Salema, he kahuna no ke Akua kiekie loa, oia hoi ka i halawai pu me Aberahama i kona hoi ana mai mai ka luku ana'ku i na'lii, a hoomaikai iho la ia ia.
2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of all the spoils. His name means “king of righteousness,” but he is also “king of Salem,” which means, “king of peace.”
Ia ia hoi i haawi aku ai o Aberahama i ka hapaumi o na mea a pau: ma ka unuhi olelo ana, o kona inoa mua ke Alii o ka pono, alaila ke Alii o Salema ia, o ke ano oia, ke Alii e maluhia ai.
3 He is without father, without mother, and without genealogy; there is no beginning to his days or end to his life. But resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.
Aole ona makuakane, aohe makuwahine, aole kuauhau, aohe kumu o kona mau la, aole oki kona ola ana; aka, ua hoohalikeia me ke Keiki a ke Akua, e noho kahuua mau ana.
4 Consider how great this man must be, that even Abraham the patriarch gave him a tenth of the spoils.
Ano la hoi, e hoomanao i ke ano kiekie o ua kanaka la, ia ia i haawi aku ai o Aberahama ka makualii i ka hapaumi o ka waiwai pio.
5 Now the law commands the sons of Levi who receive the priestly office to collect tithes from the people, that is, their brothers, even though their brothers are also descended from Abraham.
A o na mamo a Levi, ka poe i lawe i ka oihana a ke kahuna, ua kauohaia mai lakou ma ke kanawai e lawe i ka hapaumi o ka waiwai o kanaka, o ko lakou poe hoahanau, a ua hele mai no nae lakou mai loko mai o ko Aberahama puhaka:
6 But Melchizedek, who was not among the descendants of Levi, received a tithe from Abraham. He also blessed Abraham, who had received the promises.
Aka, o ka mea i kuauhau ole ia, mai laila mai, oia ka i lawe i ka hapaumi o ko Aberahama waiwai, a ua hoomaikai aku hoi i ka mea nona na olelo mua.
7 It is beyond all dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.
A he mea hoopaapaa ole ia keia, ua hoomaikaiia'ku ka mea i emi iho e ka mea i oi aku.
8 In the one case, tithes are received by mortal men, but in the other case, they are received by one who is attested to be living.
Maanei hoi, ua loaa ka hapaumi o ka waiwai i kanaka e make ana; aka, malaila i ka mea i oleloia mai ai, e ola ana ia.
9 One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham.
Oia hoi, ina e hiki ia'u ke olelo penei, o Levi hoi, o ka mea i loaa ia ia ka hapaumi o ka waiwai, oia kekahi i haawi aku i ka hapaumi o ka waiwai iloko o Aberahama.
10 For Levi was still in the loins of his ancestor Abraham when Melchizedek met him.
No ka mea, maloko no oia o ka puhaka o kona kupuna i ka wa i halawai ai o Melekisedeka me ia.
11 Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under this priesthood the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek rather than the order of Aaron?
A, ina i loaa ka mea e pono ai ma ka oihana kahuna a Levi, (ua haawi pu ia mai ke kanawai i kanaka me ia, ) heaha la anei hoi ko laila hemahema e ku hou ai kekahi kahuna e mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka, aole hoi i kapaia mamuli o ke ano o Aarona?
12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed.
Aka, i kahuliia ka oihana kahuna, he pono no hoi e kahuliia ke kanawai.
13 Now he of whom these things are spoken belongs to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
No ka mea, o ka mea nona keia mau mea i oleloia ai, no ka ohana e no ia, aole kekahi o lakou i malama ma ke kuahu.
14 For it is clear that our Lord arose from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priesthood.
Ua akaka no ka puka ana o ka Haku, mai loko mai o Iuda, ka ohana i olelo ole ia'i no ka oihana kahuna e Mose.
15 Now this point becomes even more clear when there arises another priest like Melchizedek,
A ua akaka loa ae kela mea, i ke kupu ana o kekahi kahuna e, e like me Melekisedeka,
16 one who has become a priest, not through a legal requirement concerning physical descent, but through the power of an endless life.
I hooliloia pela, aole make kanawai o ko ke kino, aka, ma ka mana o ke ola e mau loa ana.
Ua hooiaio mai no hoi ia, He kahuna mau loa oe mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka. (aiōn g165)
18 The former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and ineffectiveness
Ua waikoia'o no kela kanawai mua, no kona nawaliwali, a me kona pono ole.
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
Aole ma ke kanawai, i pono loa ai kekahi mea, aka, ma ka hookomo ana i ka manaolana maikai ae, ka mea e kookokoke aka ai kakou i ke Akua.
20 And none of this happened without an oath. Aaron's descendants become priests without an oath,
A no ka mea hoi, aole me ka hoohiki ole ana,
21 but Jesus was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘Yoʋ are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.’” (aiōn g165)
(No ka mea, ua hooliloia'e kela poe i kahuna, me ka hoohiki ole, aka, oia nei me ka hoohiki ana e ka mea nana i olelo ia ia, Ua hoohiki ka Haku, aole hoi ia e lole hou ae, He kahuna mau loa oe mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka; ) (aiōn g165)
22 Accordingly, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
Ma ia mea hoi i lilo ai o Iesu i panai no ka berita maikai ae.
23 Now the former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office;
A, o kela poe kahuna he lehulehu lakou, no ka mea, aole i haawiia mai e mau lakou, no ka make;
Aka, oia nei, no kona mau loa ana, he oihana kahuna lilo ole kana. (aiōn g165)
25 Therefore he is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
No ia mea, e hiki mau ai ia ia ke hoola i ka poe i hele mai i ke Akua ma ona la, no kona ola mau loa ana e uwao ana no lakou.
26 It was fitting for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
Oia ke ano o ke kahuna e pono ai kakou, ka mea hemolele, hewa ole, maemae wale, kaawale hoi i na lawehala, a i hookiekieia'e hoi maluna o ua lani;
27 He has no need, like the other high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all when he offered up himself.
Aole hoi i ku ia ia ke kaumaha ana i ka mohai i kela la i keia la, e like me ua mau kahuna nui la, no ko lakou mau hewa ponoi mamua, alaila no ko na kanaka hewa; no ka mea, hookahi wale no kana hana ana ia mea, i kona wa i kaumaha ai ia ia iho.
28 For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son, who has been made perfect forever. (aiōn g165)
Na ke kanawai hoi i hoolilo i kanakanawaliwali i kahuna nui; aka, na ka olelo o ka hoohiki ana, ka mea mahope mai o ke kanawai, i hoolilo i ke Keiki, ka mea i hoohemolele mau loa ia'ku. (aiōn g165)
