< 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.
U malkisadak ugino me, ugomo u Salem, Una katuma Ku gomo Asere, desa ma gurna nan ki Ibrahim usurp anikono nan are agomo man no ma nonziko me.
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’.
Ibrahim ma nya me uduk uvat imum desa ma kem, niza numeme, “malkisadik” uguna ugino me, “ugomo Irina ishew,” ugomo u sajem, “agi,” ugomo iriba ishew.
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.
Mazo me inka ba mazo inka co ba, mazo me Ini tini nini kura ba, me Una katuma ka Asere kani uhana umara unee, mazo unu tuba utikun tu nee mazo unu maza ivai. Me nan katuma ka Asere kani uhana umara unee, kasi vana Asere.
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].
Ana me ira nikara ni unu ugino me. Ucokoro anka co uru Ibrahim ma nya uduk utimumu sa ma kenzi vat ahira ani kono.
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.
Barki kadure, nikura ni lawi sa wa kabi katuma ka igino ka anu akatuma ka Asere wazin ni kara ahira u inko utizi ta Asere unu guna ma kabi uduk ahira anu, isra'ila azi ani me.
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].
Barki anime me malkisadak azo ni kura ni lawi nini ba, maka bi uduk ahira ibrahim ma kuri ma nonzoko me, me desa mazin unu iso utize.
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].
Sarkiuhungu utize unu ucin me mani ma kabisa ukalum ahira unu dang desa unanu ume.
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].
Ugino una me andesa wa kabisa ukalum ure uwui udi iri wa wono, are uganiya unu me sa kabisa ukalum ahira ibrahim, mazin in vai uhana ukani me.
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],
Barki u inko utize ti lawi, desa ma kabisa ukalum, me ma nya ukalum ahira ibrahim.
10 since [the sperm from which all those priests were eventually born] was still in Abraham’s body [EUP] when Melchizedek met Abraham.
Barki lawi mara anyo abi robo bi ibrahim uganiya sa malkisadak ma gurna nan ibrahim.
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].
Ania da idake iwu akem umaza anyimo katuma kana akatuma ka Asere ka lawi ya (barki ahira ame ani nya u inko utize), uri me ura ba ure unu katuma ka Asere ma ey unu sanda ugamirka umalkisadak, da a kura abuka ugamirka u haru na ba?
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]}.
Barki ani uganiya sa gamirka anu katuma ku udenge Asere, tize tini kubu me agamirka tini.
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].
Barki unu ugino me sa abuka timumu ti gino me anice nume me una nire nikura nini, unu ugino me azo unu mani sa ma wuzi katuma ahira utunzino anu alau.
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.
Agino ara amasaa mani ugomo Asere ma eh, usuro ani kura ni yahuza, ni lem me sa musa ma buki we anyimo abanga anu katuma ka Asere ba.
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.
Imum besa ti boo ira ama saa, inka ure una katuma ka Asere ma hira kasi malkisadak.
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).
Agino me barki una katima ka Asere azo una katuma ka Asere mani ba sa ma ahira kasi u inko utize tini kura nabu ba, in anime ma cukuno ana katuma ka Asere ini mumon ibezi ubari uzatu umareu.
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)
Barki anyetike ane ani barki me, “uhu una katuma ka Asere kani uhana umara uneee barki ugamirka u malkisadak.'' (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].
Barki u inko utize tu tuba a inki tini anikira barki sa uzatu unika nan uzatu ukatuma.
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.
Barki u inko utize tini kubu udake umaza imum ba. Barki anime u inko iriba iriri urani uhana aje ahira ame ani tidi kem ubiki ahira a Asere.
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].
Barki anime u inko itize tigino me, uda wuna sarki ituni ba, barki we anu agino me ana katuma ka Asere me da zike ire ituniba.
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)
Barki anime Asere awuzi itoni in Yeso unu guna, ''ugomo Asere ma toniko mada ceki me ubasa ume ba, uhu unu katuma ka Asere kani.'' (aiōn g165)
22 Because of that, Jesus guarantees that [the new] covenant will be better [than the old one].
Usuro anime Yeso ma nya imum i kadure nanu buka memeru a u inko utizo.
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].
Un ure ugamirka iwono ira anu katuma ka Asere uhana umara unee, agino ane ani ana katuma wa wa rani uhana umara unee wa in-inde.
24 But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
In anime Yeso ma rani uhana umara unee mazin ina katuma ka meme ada corsa kani ba. (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.
Barki anime mazin katuma ku bura ande sa wa eh eh ahira Asere barki meme, barkin konde uya uwui mazi ini vai, mazinu igizo barki we.
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.
Barki una katuma ka Asere udang ugino me ma rani nan haru. Mazin in madini ba, unu zatu imum bur, mazi lau azauka me sas ahira ana madini, mara anza Asere vat.
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!
Mazo me unyara ire imum ba, sa inyiza u wito unice barki madini mawe me, barki madini nanu vat. Yeso ma wuzi anime da ma kinkin in uye ba, uganiya ma nya nice nume me.
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)
Barki u inko utize ukurzizo are any sa wa sizizi we uguna Ana katuma Asere, abanga itonni age sa a aye aka maru Ku inko utize tini kubu, tizin inde sa ma bari uhana umara unee. (aiōn g165)
