< 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.
ಈ ಮೆಲ್ಕಿಜೆದೇಕನು ಸಾಲೇಮಿನ ಅರಸನೂ ಮಹೋನ್ನತರಾದ ದೇವರ ಯಾಜಕನೂ ಆಗಿದ್ದನು. ರಾಜರನ್ನು ಸೋಲಿಸಿ, ಹಿಂದಿರುಗಿ ಬರುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನನ್ನು ಸಂಧಿಸಿ ಅವನನ್ನು ಆಶೀರ್ವದಿಸಿದನು.
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’.
ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ಎಲ್ಲವುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಹತ್ತರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಭಾಗವನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟನು. ಅವನ ಹೆಸರಿಗೆ ಮೊದಲನೆಯದಾಗಿ, “ನೀತಿರಾಜನು” ಎಂದೂ ತರುವಾಯ “ಸಾಲೇಮಿನ ರಾಜ,” ಅಂದರೆ, “ಸಮಾಧಾನದ ಅರಸನು” ಎಂದರ್ಥ.
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.
ಈ ಮೆಲ್ಕಿಜೆದೇಕನಿಗೆ ತಂದೆಯೂ, ತಾಯಿಯೂ, ವಂಶಾವಳಿಯೂ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಅವನ ಜನ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ಆದಿಯಾಗಲಿ, ಜೀವನಕ್ಕೆ ಅಂತ್ಯವಾಗಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಅವನು ದೇವರ ಪುತ್ರ ಆಗಿರುವವರಿಗೆ ಹೋಲಿಕೆಯಾಗಿರುವ ನಿತ್ಯ ಯಾಜಕನಾಗಿ ಉಳಿಯುತ್ತಾನೆ.
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].
ಮೆಲ್ಕಿಜೆದೇಕನು ಎಷ್ಟು ದೊಡ್ಡವನಾಗಿದ್ದನೆಂದು ಆಲೋಚಿಸಿರಿ. ಮೂಲ ಪಿತೃವಾದ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನು ಗೆದ್ದು ತಂದವುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹತ್ತರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಭಾಗವನ್ನು ಇವನಿಗೇ ಕೊಟ್ಟನಲ್ಲಾ.
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.
ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ಲೇವಿಯ ಮಕ್ಕಳಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾಜಕೋದ್ಯೋಗವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದುವವರು, ಜನರಿಂದ ಅಂದರೆ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನ ವಂಶಸ್ಥರಾಗಿರುವ ತಮ್ಮ ಸಹೋದರರಿಂದಲೇ ದಶಮಭಾಗಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಮೋಶೆಯ ನಿಯಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಪ್ಪಣೆಯಿದೆ.
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].
ಆದರೆ ವಂಶಾವಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರದೆ ಇರುವ ಮೆಲ್ಕಿಜೆದೇಕನು ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನಿಂದ ದಶಮಭಾಗವನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡದ್ದಲ್ಲದೆ, ವಾಗ್ದಾನಗಳನ್ನು ಪಡೆದಿದ್ದ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನನ್ನು ಆಶೀರ್ವದಿಸಿದನು.
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].
ಆಶೀರ್ವಾದ ಹೊಂದುವವನಿಗಿಂತ ಆಶೀರ್ವದಿಸುವವನೇ ದೊಡ್ಡವನು ಎಂಬುದರಲ್ಲಿ ವಿವಾದವಿಲ್ಲ.
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].
ಇಲ್ಲಿ ದಶಮಭಾಗಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿರುವ ಲೇವಿಯರು ಕೇವಲ ಮರ್ತ್ಯ ಮಾನವರು. ಆದರೆ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಮೆಲ್ಕಿಜೆದೇಕನು ಜೀವಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾನೆಂದು ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ ಹೊಂದಿರುವವನು.
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],
ಇದು ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲದೆ ದಶಮಭಾಗಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಲೇವಿಯೂ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನ ಮೂಲಕ ದಶಮಭಾಗಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟ ಹಾಗಾಯಿತು.
10 since [the sperm from which all those priests were eventually born] was still in Abraham’s body [EUP] when Melchizedek met Abraham.
ಹೇಗೆಂದರೆ, ಮೆಲ್ಕಿಜೆದೇಕನು ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನನ್ನು ಸಂಧಿಸಿದಾಗ, ಲೇವಿಯು ತನ್ನ ಪಿತೃ ಆದ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನ ದೇಹದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದನು ಎಂದು ಪರಿಗಣಿಸಬಹುದು.
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].
ಲೇವಿಯರ ಯಾಜಕತ್ವದ ಆಧಾರದ ಮೇಲೆ ಜನರು ನಿಯಮವನ್ನು ಪಡೆದಿದ್ದರು. ಈ ಯಾಜಕತ್ವದ ಮೂಲಕವೇ ಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣತೆಯು ಉಂಟಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ, ಆರೋನನ ಕ್ರಮಾನುಸಾರವಾಗಿರದೆ ಮೆಲ್ಕಿಜೆದೇಕನ ಕ್ರಮದ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಬೇರೊಬ್ಬ ಯಾಜಕನು ಎದ್ದೇಳುವ ಅವಶ್ಯವೇನಿತ್ತು?
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]}.
ಯಾಜಕತ್ವವು ಬದಲಾದಾಗ ನಿಯಮವು ಸಹ ಬದಲಾಗುವುದು ಅಗತ್ಯ.
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].
ಇವು ಯಾರ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದೆಯೋ ಆ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ ಬೇರೊಂದು ಗೋತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರಿದವನು. ಆ ಗೋತ್ರದಿಂದ ಎಂದೂ ಯಾರೂ ಬಲಿಪೀಠದ ಬಳಿ ಸೇವೆ ಮಾಡಿದವರಲ್ಲ.
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.
ಹೀಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಕರ್ತ ಯೇಸು ಯೂದಾ ಗೋತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರಿದವರೆಂದು ತಿಳಿದ ಸಂಗತಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಈ ಗೋತ್ರವನ್ನು ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿ ಮೋಶೆಯು ಯಾಜಕರ ವಿಷಯವಾಗಿ ಏನನ್ನೂ ಹೇಳಲಿಲ್ಲ.
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.
ಮೆಲ್ಕಿಜೆದೇಕನಂತೆ ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬ ಯಾಜಕನು ಏಳುತ್ತಾನೆಂಬುದು ಇನ್ನೂ ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿದೆ.
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).
ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತ ಯೇಸು ಯಾಜಕರಾದುದು ಅಳಿವಿಲ್ಲದ ಜೀವದ ಶಕ್ತಿಗೆ ಅನುಸಾರವಾಗಿದೆಯೇ ಹೊರತು ನಿಯಮಾನುಸಾರವಾದ ದೈಹಿಕ ಹುಟ್ಟಿನಿಂದಲ್ಲ.
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)
ಕರ್ತ ಯೇಸುವಿನ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ, “ನೀನು ಸದಾಕಾಲವೂ, ಮೆಲ್ಕಿಜೆದೇಕನ ಕ್ರಮದ ಯಾಜಕನಾಗಿದ್ದೀ,” ಎಂಬ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿಯಿದೆ. (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].
ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಮೊದಲಿದ್ದ ಆಜ್ಞೆಯು ನಿರ್ಬಲವೂ ನಿಷ್ಪ್ರಯೋಜಕವೂ ಆಗಿರುವ ಕಾರಣದಿಂದ ಅದು ರದ್ದಾಯಿತು.
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.
ಮೋಶೆಯ ನಿಯಮವು ಯಾವುದನ್ನೂ ಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣ ಮಾಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಬದಲಾಗಿ ದೇವರ ಸಮೀಪಕ್ಕೆ ಒಯ್ಯುವಂತೆ ಹೊಸ ಉತ್ತಮ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಗೆ ನಡಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
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].
ಇದಂತೂ ಆಣೆಯಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಆಗಿರುವಂಥದ್ದಲ್ಲ! ಲೇವಿಯರು ಆಣೆಯಿಲ್ಲದೆಯೇ ಯಾಜಕರಾದರು,
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)
ಆದರೆ ಯೇಸು ದೇವರ ಆಣೆಯಿಂದಲೇ ಯಾಜಕರಾದರು. ಹೀಗೆ ದೇವರು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದೇನೆಂದರೆ: “ಕರ್ತ ಆಗಿರುವ ನಾನು ಆಣೆಯಿಟ್ಟು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ನಾನು ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಮನಸ್ಸನ್ನು ಬದಲಾಯಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ‘ನೀನು ಸದಾಕಾಲವೂ ಯಾಜಕನಾಗಿದ್ದೀ.’” (aiōn g165)
22 Because of that, Jesus guarantees that [the new] covenant will be better [than the old one].
ಇದರಿಂದಲೇ ಯೇಸು ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಉತ್ತಮವಾದ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಹೊಣೆಗಾರರಾದರು.
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].
ಒಂದು ಕಡೆ ಆ ಯಾಜಕರು ಮುಂದುವರಿಯದಂತೆ ಮರಣವು ಅಡ್ಡಿಯಾದದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅನೇಕರು ಯಾಜಕರಾಗಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತಿತ್ತು.
24 But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಕಡೆ ಯೇಸುವಾದರೋ ಸದಾಕಾಲ ಇರುವುದರಿಂದ ನಿರಂತರವಾಗಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಯಾಜಕತ್ವವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದವರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. (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.
ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಯೇಸು ತಮ್ಮ ಮೂಲಕ ದೇವರ ಕಡೆ ಬರುವವರನ್ನು ಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ರಕ್ಷಿಸುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಶಕ್ತರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಅವರಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಯೇಸು ವಿಜ್ಞಾಪನೆ ಮಾಡುವುದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಯಾವಾಗಲೂ ಬದುಕುವವರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
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.
ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧರು, ನಿರ್ದೋಷಿ, ನಿಷ್ಕಳಂಕರು, ಪಾಪಿಗಳಿಂದ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕಿಸಲಾದವರೂ ಗಗನ ಮಂಡಲಗಳಿಗಿಂತ ಉನ್ನತಕ್ಕೇರಿದಾತರೂ ಆಗಿರುವ ಇಂಥಾ ಮಹಾಯಾಜಕ ನಮಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
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!
ಮೊದಲು ತನ್ನ ಸ್ವಂತ ಪಾಪಗಳಿಗಾಗಿಯೂ ಯಜ್ಞಾರ್ಪಣೆ ಮಾಡುವ ಆ ಮಹಾಯಾಜಕರಂತೆ ಯೇಸು ಪ್ರತಿದಿನವೂ ಬಲಿ ಸಮರ್ಪಿಸಬೇಕಾದ ಅವಶ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ. ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಇವರು ತಮ್ಮನ್ನೇ ಬಲಿಯಾಗಿ ಸಮರ್ಪಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಾಗ ಅದನ್ನು ಒಂದೇ ಸಾರಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಮುಗಿಸಿದರು.
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)
ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಮೋಶೆಯ ನಿಯಮವು ಬಲಹೀನರಾದ ಮನುಷ್ಯರನ್ನು ಮಹಾಯಾಜಕರನ್ನಾಗಿ ನೇಮಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಮೋಶೆಯ ನಿಯಮದ ತರುವಾಯ ದೇವರ ಆಣೆಯೊಡನೆ ಬಂದ ವಾಕ್ಯವು ನಿತ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣರಾದ ಪುತ್ರನನ್ನೇ ಪ್ರಧಾನಯಾಜಕರನ್ನಾಗಿ ನೇಮಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. (aiōn g165)
