< 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.

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’.

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.

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].
ಅತಏವಾಸ್ಮಾಕಂ ಪೂರ್ವ್ವಪುರುಷ ಇಬ್ರಾಹೀಮ್ ಯಸ್ಮೈ ಲುಠಿತದ್ರವ್ಯಾಣಾಂ ದಶಮಾಂಶಂ ದತ್ತವಾನ್ ಸ ಕೀದೃಕ್ ಮಹಾನ್ ತದ್ ಆಲೋಚಯತ|
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.
ಯಾಜಕತ್ವಪ್ರಾಪ್ತಾ ಲೇವೇಃ ಸನ್ತಾನಾ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥಾನುಸಾರೇಣ ಲೋಕೇಭ್ಯೋಽರ್ಥತ ಇಬ್ರಾಹೀಮೋ ಜಾತೇಭ್ಯಃ ಸ್ವೀಯಭ್ರಾತೃಭ್ಯೋ ದಶಮಾಂಶಗ್ರಹಣಸ್ಯಾದೇಶಂ ಲಬ್ಧವನ್ತಃ|
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].
ಕಿನ್ತ್ವಸೌ ಯದ್ಯಪಿ ತೇಷಾಂ ವಂಶಾತ್ ನೋತ್ಪನ್ನಸ್ತಥಾಪೀಬ್ರಾಹೀಮೋ ದಶಮಾಂಶಂ ಗೃಹೀತವಾನ್ ಪ್ರತಿಜ್ಞಾನಾಮ್ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಣಮ್ ಆಶಿಷಂ ಗದಿತವಾಂಶ್ಚ|
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].
ಅಪರಂ ಯಃ ಶ್ರೇಯಾನ್ ಸ ಕ್ಷುದ್ರತರಾಯಾಶಿಷಂ ದದಾತೀತ್ಯತ್ರ ಕೋಽಪಿ ಸನ್ದೇಹೋ ನಾಸ್ತಿ|
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].
ಅಪರಮ್ ಇದಾನೀಂ ಯೇ ದಶಮಾಂಶಂ ಗೃಹ್ಲನ್ತಿ ತೇ ಮೃತ್ಯೋರಧೀನಾ ಮಾನವಾಃ ಕಿನ್ತು ತದಾನೀಂ ಯೋ ಗೃಹೀತವಾನ್ ಸ ಜೀವತೀತಿಪ್ರಮಾಣಪ್ರಾಪ್ತಃ|
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],
ಅಪರಂ ದಶಮಾಂಶಗ್ರಾಹೀ ಲೇವಿರಪೀಬ್ರಾಹೀಮ್ದ್ವಾರಾ ದಶಮಾಂಶಂ ದತ್ತವಾನ್ ಏತದಪಿ ಕಥಯಿತುಂ ಶಕ್ಯತೇ|
10 since [the sperm from which all those priests were eventually born] was still in Abraham’s body [EUP] when Melchizedek met Abraham.
ಯತೋ ಯದಾ ಮಲ್ಕೀಷೇದಕ್ ತಸ್ಯ ಪಿತರಂ ಸಾಕ್ಷಾತ್ ಕೃತವಾನ್ ತದಾನೀಂ ಸ ಲೇವಿಃ ಪಿತುರುರಸ್ಯಾಸೀತ್|
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].

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]}.
ಯತೋ ಯಾಜಕವರ್ಗಸ್ಯ ವಿನಿಮಯೇನ ಸುತರಾಂ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥಾಯಾ ಅಪಿ ವಿನಿಮಯೋ ಜಾಯತೇ|
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].

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.
ವಸ್ತುತಸ್ತು ಯಂ ವಂಶಮಧಿ ಮೂಸಾ ಯಾಜಕತ್ವಸ್ಯೈಕಾಂ ಕಥಾಮಪಿ ನ ಕಥಿತವಾನ್ ತಸ್ಮಿನ್ ಯಿಹೂದಾವಂಶೇಽಸ್ಮಾಕಂ ಪ್ರಭು ರ್ಜನ್ಮ ಗೃಹೀತವಾನ್ ಇತಿ ಸುಸ್ಪಷ್ಟಂ|
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.

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).

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 )
ಯತ ಈಶ್ವರ ಇದಂ ಸಾಕ್ಷ್ಯಂ ದತ್ತವಾನ್, ಯಥಾ, "ತ್ವಂ ಮಕ್ಲೀಷೇದಕಃ ಶ್ರೇಣ್ಯಾಂ ಯಾಜಕೋಽಸಿ ಸದಾತನಃ| " (aiōn )
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].
ಅನೇನಾಗ್ರವರ್ತ್ತಿನೋ ವಿಧೇ ದುರ್ಬ್ಬಲತಾಯಾ ನಿಷ್ಫಲತಾಯಾಶ್ಚ ಹೇತೋರರ್ಥತೋ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥಯಾ ಕಿಮಪಿ ಸಿದ್ಧಂ ನ ಜಾತಮಿತಿಹೇತೋಸ್ತಸ್ಯ ಲೋಪೋ ಭವತಿ|
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.
ಯಯಾ ಚ ವಯಮ್ ಈಶ್ವರಸ್ಯ ನಿಕಟವರ್ತ್ತಿನೋ ಭವಾಮ ಏತಾದೃಶೀ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠಪ್ರತ್ಯಾಶಾ ಸಂಸ್ಥಾಪ್ಯತೇ|
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].
ಅಪರಂ ಯೀಶುಃ ಶಪಥಂ ವಿನಾ ನ ನಿಯುಕ್ತಸ್ತಸ್ಮಾದಪಿ ಸ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನಿಯಮಸ್ಯ ಮಧ್ಯಸ್ಥೋ ಜಾತಃ|
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 )
ಯತಸ್ತೇ ಶಪಥಂ ವಿನಾ ಯಾಜಕಾ ಜಾತಾಃ ಕಿನ್ತ್ವಸೌ ಶಪಥೇನ ಜಾತಃ ಯತಃ ಸ ಇದಮುಕ್ತಃ, ಯಥಾ,
22 Because of that, Jesus guarantees that [the new] covenant will be better [than the old one].
"ಪರಮೇಶ ಇದಂ ಶೇಪೇ ನ ಚ ತಸ್ಮಾನ್ನಿವರ್ತ್ಸ್ಯತೇ| ತ್ವಂ ಮಲ್ಕೀಷೇದಕಃ ಶ್ರೇಣ್ಯಾಂ ಯಾಜಕೋಽಸಿ ಸದಾತನಃ| " (aiōn )
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].
ತೇ ಚ ಬಹವೋ ಯಾಜಕಾ ಅಭವನ್ ಯತಸ್ತೇ ಮೃತ್ಯುನಾ ನಿತ್ಯಸ್ಥಾಯಿತ್ವಾತ್ ನಿವಾರಿತಾಃ,
24 But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn )
ಕಿನ್ತ್ವಸಾವನನ್ತಕಾಲಂ ಯಾವತ್ ತಿಷ್ಠತಿ ತಸ್ಮಾತ್ ತಸ್ಯ ಯಾಜಕತ್ವಂ ನ ಪರಿವರ್ತ್ತನೀಯಂ| (aiōn )
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.
ತತೋ ಹೇತೋ ರ್ಯೇ ಮಾನವಾಸ್ತೇನೇಶ್ವರಸ್ಯ ಸನ್ನಿಧಿಂ ಗಚ್ಛನ್ತಿ ತಾನ್ ಸ ಶೇಷಂ ಯಾವತ್ ಪರಿತ್ರಾತುಂ ಶಕ್ನೋತಿ ಯತಸ್ತೇಷಾಂ ಕೃತೇ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನಾಂ ಕರ್ತ್ತುಂ ಸ ಸತತಂ ಜೀವತಿ|
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.

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!

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 )
