Hebrews 7
1 It was this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.
A O ua Melekisedeka la hoi, ke alii o Salema, he kahuna no ke Akua kiekie loa, oia hoi ka i halawai pu me Aberahama i kona hoi ana mai mai ka luku ana'ku i na'lii, a hoomaikai iho la ia ia.
2 It was to him that Abraham gave a tenth of everything. His name “Melchizedek” means “king of righteousness.” His other title is “king of Salem,” that is, “king of peace.”
Ia ia hoi i haawi aku ai o Aberahama i ka hapaumi o na mea a pau: ma ka unuhi olelo ana, o kona inoa mua ke Alii o ka pono, alaila ke Alii o Salema ia, o ke ano oia, ke Alii e maluhia ai.
3 He is without father, without mother, without ancestors, with neither beginning of days nor end of life. Instead, he resembles the Son of God, because he remains a priest forever.
Aole ona makuakane, aohe makuwahine, aole kuauhau, aohe kumu o kona mau la, aole oki kona ola ana; aka, ua hoohalikeia me ke Keiki a ke Akua, e noho kahuua mau ana.
4 See how great this man was to whom the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the things that he had taken in battle.
Ano la hoi, e hoomanao i ke ano kiekie o ua kanaka la, ia ia i haawi aku ai o Aberahama ka makualii i ka hapaumi o ka waiwai pio.
5 The sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have a command from the law to collect tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, even though they, too, have come from Abraham's body.
A o na mamo a Levi, ka poe i lawe i ka oihana a ke kahuna, ua kauohaia mai lakou ma ke kanawai e lawe i ka hapaumi o ka waiwai o kanaka, o ko lakou poe hoahanau, a ua hele mai no nae lakou mai loko mai o ko Aberahama puhaka:
6 But Melchizedek, whose descent was not traced from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him, the one who had the promises.
Aka, o ka mea i kuauhau ole ia, mai laila mai, oia ka i lawe i ka hapaumi o ko Aberahama waiwai, a ua hoomaikai aku hoi i ka mea nona na olelo mua.
7 There is no denying that the lesser person is blessed by the greater person.
A he mea hoopaapaa ole ia keia, ua hoomaikaiia'ku ka mea i emi iho e ka mea i oi aku.
8 In this case, mortal men receive tithes, but in that case it is testified that he lives on.
Maanei hoi, ua loaa ka hapaumi o ka waiwai i kanaka e make ana; aka, malaila i ka mea i oleloia mai ai, e ola ana ia.
9 And, in a manner of speaking, Levi, who received tithes, also paid tithes through Abraham,
Oia hoi, ina e hiki ia'u ke olelo penei, o Levi hoi, o ka mea i loaa ia ia ka hapaumi o ka waiwai, oia kekahi i haawi aku i ka hapaumi o ka waiwai iloko o Aberahama.
10 because Levi was in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
No ka mea, maloko no oia o ka puhaka o kona kupuna i ka wa i halawai ai o Melekisedeka me ia.
11 Now if perfection were possible through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the manner of Melchizedek, and not be considered to be after the manner of Aaron?
A, ina i loaa ka mea e pono ai ma ka oihana kahuna a Levi, (ua haawi pu ia mai ke kanawai i kanaka me ia, ) heaha la anei hoi ko laila hemahema e ku hou ai kekahi kahuna e mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka, aole hoi i kapaia mamuli o ke ano o Aarona?
12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed.
Aka, i kahuliia ka oihana kahuna, he pono no hoi e kahuliia ke kanawai.
13 For the one about whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
No ka mea, o ka mea nona keia mau mea i oleloia ai, no ka ohana e no ia, aole kekahi o lakou i malama ma ke kuahu.
14 Now clearly, it is from Judah that our Lord was born, a tribe that Moses never mentioned concerning priests.
Ua akaka no ka puka ana o ka Haku, mai loko mai o Iuda, ka ohana i olelo ole ia'i no ka oihana kahuna e Mose.
15 What we say is clearer yet if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek.
A ua akaka loa ae kela mea, i ke kupu ana o kekahi kahuna e, e like me Melekisedeka,
16 It was not based on the law of fleshly descent that he became a priest, but instead was based on the power of an everlasting life.
I hooliloia pela, aole make kanawai o ko ke kino, aka, ma ka mana o ke ola e mau loa ana.
17 For scripture witnesses about him: “You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
Ua hooiaio mai no hoi ia, He kahuna mau loa oe mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka. (aiōn g165)
18 For the former regulation is set aside because it is weak and useless,
Ua waikoia'o no kela kanawai mua, no kona nawaliwali, a me kona pono ole.
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, through which we come near to God.
Aole ma ke kanawai, i pono loa ai kekahi mea, aka, ma ka hookomo ana i ka manaolana maikai ae, ka mea e kookokoke aka ai kakou i ke Akua.
20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath,
A no ka mea hoi, aole me ka hoohiki ole ana,
21 but he became a priest when God said to him, “The Lord has sworn and he will not change his mind: 'You are a priest forever.'” (aiōn g165)
(No ka mea, ua hooliloia'e kela poe i kahuna, me ka hoohiki ole, aka, oia nei me ka hoohiki ana e ka mea nana i olelo ia ia, Ua hoohiki ka Haku, aole hoi ia e lole hou ae, He kahuna mau loa oe mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka; ) (aiōn g165)
22 By this also Jesus has given the guarantee of a better covenant.
Ma ia mea hoi i lilo ai o Iesu i panai no ka berita maikai ae.
23 The former priests were many in number, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
A, o kela poe kahuna he lehulehu lakou, no ka mea, aole i haawiia mai e mau lakou, no ka make;
Aka, oia nei, no kona mau loa ana, he oihana kahuna lilo ole kana. (aiōn g165)
25 Therefore he is also able to save completely those who approach God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
No ia mea, e hiki mau ai ia ia ke hoola i ka poe i hele mai i ke Akua ma ona la, no kona ola mau loa ana e uwao ana no lakou.
26 For such a high priest is suitable for us. He is sinless, blameless, pure, separated from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens.
Oia ke ano o ke kahuna e pono ai kakou, ka mea hemolele, hewa ole, maemae wale, kaawale hoi i na lawehala, a i hookiekieia'e hoi maluna o ua lani;
27 He does not need, unlike the high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He did this once for all, when he offered himself.
Aole hoi i ku ia ia ke kaumaha ana i ka mohai i kela la i keia la, e like me ua mau kahuna nui la, no ko lakou mau hewa ponoi mamua, alaila no ko na kanaka hewa; no ka mea, hookahi wale no kana hana ana ia mea, i kona wa i kaumaha ai ia ia iho.
28 For the law appoints as high priests men who have weaknesses. But the word of the oath, which came after the law, appointed a Son, who has been made perfect forever. (aiōn g165)
Na ke kanawai hoi i hoolilo i kanakanawaliwali i kahuna nui; aka, na ka olelo o ka hoohiki ana, ka mea mahope mai o ke kanawai, i hoolilo i ke Keiki, ka mea i hoohemolele mau loa ia'ku. (aiōn g165)
