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.
Melikizedeki ayu kaweriti mfalumi gwa Salemu, na mtambika gwa Mlungu Mkulu. Aburahamu pakaweriti kankuwuya kulawa mng'ondu kuwalaga wafalumi, Melikizedeki kaliwoniti na yomberi na kamtekelera.
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’.
Na Aburahamu kampanana shintu sha lilongu lya vintu vyoseri vyakaweriti navi palii. Mana ya litawu lya Melikizedeki ndo Mfalumi yakatenda maheri na toziya yomberi kaweriti Mfalumi gwa Salemu, litawu lyakuwi viraa lyana mana ya Mfalumi gwa ponga.
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.
Kahera Tati na kahera mawu na kahera lukolu, kahera lyanjiru ama upeleru wa ukomu wakuwi. Kalifana na Mwana gwa Mlungu na kendereya kuwera mtambika mashaka goseri.
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].
Su mmuwona muntu ayu ntambu yakaweriti mkulu, mbuyi gwetu Aburahamu kamupananiti shintu sha lilongu lya vintu vyoseri vyakalopoliti munkondu.
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.
Shiyiwuku sha Lawi yawawera watambika, walekiziwa Mumalagaliru Mlungu gakamupananiti Musa kutola shintu sha lilongu lya vintu vyoseri kulawa kwa walongu wawu Israeli, ata handa na womberi wawera washiyiwuku sha Aburahamu.
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].
Kumbiti Melikizedeki kaweriti ndiri gwa lukolu lwa Lawi, ata hangu kankiti shintu sha lilongu lya vintu vyoseri kulawa kwa Aburahamu na kamtekeleriti yomberi yakaweriti kapananwa malagilu ga Mlungu.
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].
Kwahera shashatika ata shididini handa yakamtekelera ndo mkulu kuliku ulii yakatekelerwa.
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].
Kwa ntambu yimu shintu sha lilongu lya vintu vyoseri vyankwa na wantu yawalikala ndiri mashaka goseri na kwa ntambu yamonga shintu sha lilongu lya vintu vyoseri vyankwa na muntu yatuwera na ukapitawu handa kana ukomu.
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],
Su tudaha kutakula hangu, handa Aburahamu pakalaviyiti shintu sha lilongu, Lawi mweni na shiyiwuku shakuwi shanka pahala pa lilongu, kalaviyiti shintu sha lilongu kupitira Aburahamu.
10 since [the sperm from which all those priests were eventually born] was still in Abraham’s body [EUP] when Melchizedek met Abraham.
Toziya Lawi kaweriti mushunu sha mbuyi gwakuwi Aburahamu, shipindi Melikizedeki pakaliwoniti na Aburahamu.
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].
Kulawirana na utambika wa Walawi, wantu wa Israeli wapananitwi Malagaliru. Vinu handa utambika wa Walawi meuweri ndiri na likosa, meuweri ndiri kayi mafiliru ga kulawira utambika umonga wa ntambu yingi, uwera ndiri gambira utambika wa Aruni kumbiti uwera gambira utambika wa Melikizedeki.
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]}.
Toziya shiyiwuku sha utambika pashigalambuka, malagaliru nageni gagalambuki viraa.
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].
Toziya yomberi yakatakuliritwi muaga kaweriti mtenda pamuhera na likabira lyamonga, ndolyeni kwahera ata yumu gwa likabila ali yakapatiti kupatendera pashitalawanda sha kutambikira.
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.
Imanikana kuwera Mtuwa gwetu kiwukiti mulikabila lya Yuda lweni Musa kalikanta ndiri pakaweriti kankutakulira watambika.
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.
Na vinu shapaweru nentu toziya mtambika gwa ntambu yumonga ulii yakalifana na Melikizedeki kalawiriti.
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).
Yomberi katenditwi ndiri mtambika kwa kwiwuka kwa nshimba, kumbiti kiwukiti kupitira likakala lya ukomu wahera upeleru.
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)
Toziya ukapitawu wa yomberi ulanguziya kuwera, “Gwenga gwa mtambika gwa mashaka goseri, handa utambika wa Melikizedeki.” (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].
Su kwa ntambu yimu lilagaliru ligona lilii liwusiwa toziya liweriti lyahera makakala na liwatanga ndiri wantu.
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.
Toziya Lilagaliru Mlungu lyakampananiti Musa, liweza ndiri kumalalira shintu shoseri, su kwa ntambu yimonga litumbiru liherepa nentu, kupitira litumbiru ali tuweza kuwera pakwegera na Mlungu.
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].
Litumbiru ali lilanguziitwi ndo lyanakaka kwa lirapu, wamonga walii pawatenditwi watambika, watenditwi ndiri kwa lirapu.
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)
Kumbiti Yesu katenditwi mtambika kwa lirapu toziya ya galii Mlungu gakamgambiriti “Mtuwa kalirapa, hapeni kagalambuli nfiru yakuwi, ‘Gwenga gwa mtambika gwa mashaka goseri.’” (aiōn g165)
22 Because of that, Jesus guarantees that [the new] covenant will be better [than the old one].
Toziya ya aga, Yesu kawera mzamana gwa lipatanu lyaliwera liherepa nentu.
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].
Kayi watambika awa waweriti wavuwa na toziya waweriti wantu yawahowa, waweziti ndiri kwendeleya na lihengu lyawu.
24 But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
Kumbiti Yesu kahanda womberi ndiri, yomberi kalikala mashaka goseri, Utambika wakuwi uwuka ndiri kwakuwi. (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.
Hangu yomberi kadaha mashaka goseri kuwalopoziya nakamu woseri yawamgendera Mlungu kwa njira yakuwi, toziya yomberi kalikala shipindi shoseri pakawaluwira kwa Mlungu.
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.
Su shiweriti shitwatira sha mana nentu kwa twenga kuwera na Mtambika mkulu gambira ayu na Mnanagala na kahera likosa, kawera mnanaga, kasegwa na yawawera na vidoda na kawera kumpindi ya pampindi.
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!
Kawera ndiri gambira watambika wakulu wamonga, yomberi kafiruwa ndiri kulaviya litambiku kila lishaka, kwanja toziya ya vidoda vyakuwi mweni gambira womberi, shakapanu toziya ya vidoda vya wantu, yomberi katenda hangu kwa mala yimu hera, kwajili ya wantu woseri, kalilaviyiti mweni kwa mala yimu hera kwa shipindi shoseri.
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)
Malagaliru Mlungu gakamupananiti Musa, gawasyagula wantu yawawera legulegu kuwera watambika wakulu, kumbiti shilii shakatakuliti Mlungu kwa lirapu, shashisokiti kala pa Malagaliru ga Musa, gamsyagula Mwana yakatenditwi kuwera pota likosa mashaka goseri. (aiōn g165)
