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.
Ehaliesho o Melkizedeki, omwana wa Salemu, Odimi wa Ngolobhe yali mwanya, yakhomene no Abrahamu afumile abhahude amwene wasaya.
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’.
Abrahamu apiye umo esehemu yakumi kila hantu hali afyolele itawa lyakwe “O Melkizedeki” emaana yakwe” omwene owelyoli” nantele “mwene owa Salemu” yalimwene owatenganu.”
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.
Sagali no Baba, sagalinamaye, sagalinapafi, saliwahwande owisiku wala owamalezye okhalo gwakwe. Badala yakwe asagala dimi wewila, nashi omwana wa Ngolobhe.
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].
Eshi sebhelele omntu ono sahali gosi. Opafi wetu o Abrahamu apie evintu vyakumi evinza vya ejile wibho.
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.
Lyoli, eshikholo sha Bhalawi bhabhaposheye, ehofesiezya dimi bhaline ndajizyo afume hushelia abhonganye emohukumi afume whabhantu abhawa Izraeli amwabho, pamoja aje abhene nantele. Nantele shikholo afumewha Abrahamu.
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].
Lelo Omelkizedeki, yashele sgali shikholo shabho, afume wa Bhalawi, aposheye emoeyakumi afume wha Abrahamu nawasaya omwene yali no lusobhezo.
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].
Hepo sepakhanwa aje omntu ododo asaywa no gosi.
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].
Whijambeli omntu aposhela emo hukumi abhafwe isikulimo, lelo wijambo elya mwabho omo yaposheye emo eya kumi, wha Abrahamu yayangwa sekhala.
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],
Eshamana ayanje, oLawi yaposheye emoeya kumi nantele asombile, emoyakumi wha Abrahamu,
10 since [the sperm from which all those priests were eventually born] was still in Abraham’s body [EUP] when Melchizedek met Abraham.
afwatanaje oLawi alimsana wa baba wakwe, oAbrahamu wakhatiowa Melkizedeki nakhomene no Abramu.
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].
Eshi nkashe whawezehene ashilile wakuhani wa Lawi, (pansiyakwe abhantu bhaposhela endajizyo), whali awhanzeshi sana whakuhani owenje abhoshe yali mfano wa Melkizedeki, sio akwiziwe apanjilile wa Haruni?
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]}.
Eshi owudimi kashele ugaluhane, sepalini lazima esheliya yape agaluhane.
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].
Gamogaga mambo ega gayangwilwe gagali makabela aganje, afume mwamwene nomoyalongwilwe pashiputo.
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.
Eshi pigule aje Ogosi wetu afumile Yuda elyaje oMusa saga aliyanjile ahusu adimi.
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.
Ega gatiyanga mazi hasa nkashele odimi uwenje abhabhoneshe yalengene nashi Melkizedeki.
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).
Odimi ono opya sagali omoyali dimi widala elyendajizyo zyazihusiana ne shikholo shamntu, lelo humsingi owe nguvu yekhalo gashelesegawezizye ananchishe.
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)
Esho ensimbo zilombelela ayanje omwene: “Awe ulidimi wila nashi ofwano wa Melkizedeki.” (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].
Whahuje indajizyo yehatangulie ehabhewhelwe panshenje afwatanaje alibhinu sawhanziwa.
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.
Esho endajizyo sagaehabhombile lya lyonti eshi kamilifu. Pesho whali odandamazu owinza eshi tihuzubhilila Ongolobhe.
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].
Naodandamu obhu ogwinza segwabhoneshe bila guyanje, endapo wheli adimi abhinji sagabhalapile endapo shashonti.
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)
Lelo Ongolobhe ahejile endapo nayangaga ahusu oYesu, “Ogosi alapile sagaabhadilisye ensebho zyakwe.' awe dimi hani (aiōn g165)
22 Because of that, Jesus guarantees that [the new] covenant will be better [than the old one].
Nantele oYesu ayenzele ajeabhe zamana yeagano bora.
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].
Lyoli efwa eziga adimi aje bhagaje dime wila. Ilifwatanaje bhali hale adimi abhinji awhandeomo nantele owamwabho.
24 But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
Lelo oYesu akhala wila, adimi wakwe seugaluhana. (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.
Nantele omwene awezya ogolosu amalezezye abhaule bhabhahumweteha Ongolobhe ashilile afwatane omwene akalahani nalapute whabhene.
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.
Esho odimi ogosi oweshi ahwanziwa huliti yasagali nembibhi sagali nenongwa zelu ayepilehwa bhibhi, alimwanya ashile emwanya.
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!
Omwene yali nagahwanze nashi adimi ogosi, afumie ilumbuko ensiku zyonti kwanza humbibhi zyakwe mwenyewe.
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)
Hundajizyo bhabhewha abhante bhabhali abha bhinu abhebhadimi agosi lakini izuelye shilapo, lyalyahenzele sesele endajizo abheshele oMwana, yabhewelwe abhemtakatifu owawila. (aiōn g165)
