Hebrews 7
1 [Now I will say more about] this [man] Melchizedek. He was the king of Salem [city and was] a priest of God, the one who is greater [than anyone else]. He met Abraham who was returning [home] after [he and his men] had defeated the [armies of four] kings [SYN]. Melchizedek [asked God to] bless Abraham.
Hiche Melchizedek hi Salem khopia Leng ahin chule Chungnungpen Pathen thempu ahi. Abraham'in lengho douna agal asat chu ajoa ahung kile chun Melchizedek hin akimupin chule phatthei bohna apen ahi.
2 Then Abraham gave to him one tenth of all [the spoils he] took after winning [the battle. Melchizedek’s name] means firstly ‘king [who rules] righteously’, and since Salem means ‘peace’, he was the ‘king [who rules] peacefully’.
Chuphat in Abraham'in galsatna a achomkhom jouse lah a hopsoma hopkhat chu Melchizedek apen ahi. Melchizedek kiti min hi “Thutandih Lengpa chule Salem lengpa kiti hi ‘Chamna lengpa,’” kiseina ahi.
3 [In the Scriptures there is] no [record of who his] father [was], nor [is there any record of who his] mother [was], nor [is there any record of who his] ancestors [were]. There is no [record of when he was] born, nor [is there any record of when he] died. [For these reasons], [it is as though] he continues to be a priest forever, and for this reason he is like God’s Son.
Apa le anu ahilouleh apu apa min kisutna aumpon–apatna umlou, ahilouleh ahinkho kichaina jong aumpoi. Ama tonsot thempu ahin, Pathen Chapa to kilouva ahi.
4 You can realize how great this [man Melchizedek was] from the fact that Abraham, [our famous] ancestor, gave him (a tithe/one tenth) of the spoils [from the battle].
Chuti ahileh hiche Melchizedek hi ichan geiya lena hitam ngaito temin. Israel te mipa, Abraham jaumtahpa chun hiche hi ahet a agalsatnaa athillah hoa kona hopsoma hopkhat apeh jeng hi!
5 According to the laws [God gave Moses], the descendants of [Abraham’s great-grandson] Levi, who were priests, should take tithes from [God’s] people who were their relatives, even though those people also were Abraham’s descendants.
Tun, Mose Dan chun thempuho, Levi son ho, Abraham chilhah jong hiho, chun Israel mipi lah a kona hopsoma khat chu akilah diu angeh in ahi.
6 But this man [Melchizedek], who was not among the descendants [of Levi], took tithes from Abraham. He also [asked God to] bless Abraham, the man to whom [God] promised [many descendants].
Ahin Melchizedek, Levi son hilou chun, Abraham a konin soma khat chu akilah in ahi. Chule Melchizedek chun Pathen thutep ho anachangsa, Abraham chunga phattheina apen ahi.
7 We know for certain that it is the more [important people] who [ask God to] bless the less important people. [And Melchizedek blessed Abraham. So we conclude that Melchizedek was greater than Abraham].
Chule kidoh ngailou hel chu phattheina pepa thaneina chu phattheina changpa sanga chungnung joa ahi.
8 In the case of [the priests who are descendants of Levi], men who some day will die receive tithes. But in the case of [Melchizedek it is as if God] testifies that he was still living, [since there is no record in Scriptures about his death].
Thempuho hopsom donga pangho chu thithei mihem ahiuvin, hiti chun Melchizedek chu amaho sanga chungnungjoa ahi, ijeh inem itileh ama ahing jing ahi.
9 And it was as though Levi himself, and [all the priests descended from him]—who received tithes [from the people]—paid tithes [to Melchizedek]. And when Abraham paid tithes, it [was as though Levi and all the priests descended from him acknowledged that the work Melchizedek did as a priest was greater than the work Levi did],
Hiche banjoma chu, eihon Levi mite som a khat donga pangho chun apuluiyu Abraham'in hopsoma hopkhat anapeh jeh a chu amahon jong Melchizedek chu hopsoma khat chu apeh u ahi.
10 since [the sperm from which all those priests were eventually born] was still in Abraham’s body [EUP] when Melchizedek met Abraham.
Ijeh ham itileh Levi chu anapen loulai jeng vang chun ama hung kon dohna Abraham tibah a chu uma ahin, hichea chu Melchizedek in amaa hopsoma hopkhat analah ahitai.
11 [God] gave his laws to his people at the same time he gave regulations about the priests. So, if what the priests who were descended from Levi did could have provided a way for God to completely [forgive] people [for disobeying those laws], certainly no other priest like Melchizedek would have been necessary. [RHQ] Instead, priests who were descended from Aaron, [Levi’s descendant, would have been adequate].
Hiti chun Levi thempu hina Dana kingapna chun Pathen lunggon chu chamkimsah jou hitaleh Pathen in ipi dia themputna achombeh a Levi le Aaron thalhenga Melchizedek thempuhina tobang chu aphudoh ngaiding ham?
12 [But we know they were not adequate, because a new type of priest like Melchizedek has come]. And since [God] has appointed a new type of priest, he also had to change the regulations [concerning how priests were appointed] {[he appointed priests]}.
Chule thempu hina chu akikhel tah a ahileh phatsahna dan jong chu kikhel ding adoltah ahi.
13 [Jesus], the one about whom I am saying these things, is a descendant of someone else, [not a descendant of Levi]. None of the men from whom Jesus descended ever served as priests [MTY].
Ijeh ham itileh thempu ikihoulimna dingpau hi phung choma ahin, hiche phunga kona chu thempu natong anaum khaloulai ahi.
14 [We know that] since it is obvious that it is from [the tribe of] Judah that our Lord was descended. Moses never said that any of Judah’s descendants would [become] priests.
Keiman kahin seinom chu IPakai chu Judah phunga hungkon ahin, chule Mose chun hiche phunga kona thempu hung umdoh ding anaphapoh hihbeh in ahi.
15 Furthermore, [we know that the priests who were descended from Levi were inadequate, since] it is even more obvious that another priest has appeared who is like Melchizedek.
Hiche kikhelna hi thempu gotchom beh Melchizedek tobang khat hung kilangdoh a ahitai.
16 Jesus became a priest, but not because [he fulfilled] what [God’s] law required [about being a descendant of Levi]. Instead, he has the kind of power that [came from a] life that nothing can destroy (OR, [enabled him to] live [again after he was] killed).
Yeshua thempu hina hi tahsalam dol a Levi phunga mihina ngaichatna pachu hitalouvin, suhmangthei hilou hinna thaneina a konjoh hiya ahi.
17 [We know this] since [God] confirmed it in [the Scripture passage in which he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn g165)
Chule David, Labu jihpan, hiche hi apodoh in, “Nangma tonsot thempu hina Melchizedek a tobang chu nahi,” ati. (aiōn g165)
18 On the one hand, God canceled what he commanded previously [concerning the priests] because it failed in every way to enable anyone [to become all that God intended].
Ahi, thempu hina a kingeh alui chu alhahsama chule pannabei ahitah jeh a achombeh a kikoidoh a ahitai.
19 Remember that no one was able to become all that God intended [by obeying] the laws [that God gave Moses]. On the other hand, [God caused that we could] confidently expect better things [than we could expect by obeying God’s laws]. [He did that by his establishing Christ as priest]. Now by means of [Christ sacrificing himself for us] we can come near to God.
Ijeh ham itileh danthun ima achamkim sahna aumpoi. Hinla tun eihon kinepna phajo ikisonpiuvin, hichea chu eihon Pathen kom inaitheiyu ahi.
20 Furthermore, [when God appointed Christ, it was when God] solemnly declared [that Christ would be a priest] [LIT]. When [God appointed former] priests, it was not by his solemnly declaring [that they would be priests].
Hiche athahbehpa hi kihahselna gimneitah a kibol'a ahi. Aaron son ho chun hiche kihahselna jaotha louva hi thempuna atoh u ahi.
21 However, when he [appointed Christ to be a priest], it was by these words that [the Psalmist wrote in Scripture]: The Lord has solemnly declared [to the Messiah], —and he will not change his mind— “You will be a priest forever!” (aiōn g165)
Hinlah Yeshua chung chang thua kihahselna khat aumin ahi. Ijeh ham itileh Pathen in ajah a aseijin, “Pakaiyin kihahselna chu akilahtai chule akihahselna chu asuhkeh loubeh ding ahi; Nangma tonsot'a thempu nahitai,” ati. (aiōn g165)
22 Because of that, Jesus guarantees that [the new] covenant will be better [than the old one].
Hiche kihahselna jal a hi, Yeshua hin kitepna phajo Pathen to kinei chu aphat atep a panga ahi.
23 And formerly, the priests could not keep serving [as priests], because they all died [PRS]. So there were many priests [to take the place of the ones who died].
Chonna luinoiya chun thempu tampi anaumuvin, thina chun anatohna muna umden theilouna asodoh u hiya ahi.
24 But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
Hinlah Yeshua chu tonsot'a uma ahijeha thempu ahina jong tonsot'a ding ahitai. (aiōn g165)
25 So, he can completely and eternally save those who come to God by [trusting in what Jesus has done for them], since he lives forever to plead [with God] to help them.
Hijeh a chu Aman khatveiya le tonsot geiya dinga Ama jal a Pathen kom hinnaiho thalhenga Pathen koma taopeh dinga Aman huhhing jou theina tha anei ahi.
26 Jesus is the kind of Supreme Priest that we need. He was holy; he did no wrong; he was completely innocent. [God] has now taken him up to the highest heaven separated from [living among] sinners.
Ama thempu chungnung ingaichat u ahina chu Ama athenga le nolna bei, chonsetnen behlou hel ahi. Ama chonsehoa kona chom uma ahin, chule van mun a jabolna sangtah mun changa ahi.
27 [The other] Supreme Priests need to sacrifice [animals] day by day [as well as year by year]. They do this, firstly, [to atone] for their own sins, and then [to atone for other] people [who have sinned]. [But because Jesus never sinned], he does not need to atone for his own sin. The only thing [he needed to do to save people] was to sacrifice himself once!
Thempu chungnung dang tobang ahiloujeh a niseh a kilhaina thilto abol ngaitalou ahi. Amaho chun amasapen tah a amaho chonset jeh a chule aban'a midangho chonsetna jeh a kilhaina asemjiu ahi.
28 [We need a Supreme Priest like] him, because in the laws [that God gave Moses] [PRS] the ones who would be appointed to be priests would be men who tended [to sin easily]. But [God] solemnly [declared] [PRS] after [he had given] his laws [to Moses] that [he would appoint] (his Son/the man who is also God) [to be a Supreme Priest. Now] ([his Son/the man who is also God]) has forever become all that God intends him to be. (aiōn g165)
Danthu chun thempu chung nungho alhendoh jiho chu mihem lhahsam jal a ahi. Hinla Danthu kipehdoh jou nunga chu Pathen in Achapa chu kihahsel puma alhendoh a, chule Achapa chu Tonsot themput chungnung chamkima asem ahitai. (aiōn g165)
