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.
Ri Melquisedec are jun nim taqanel rech ri tinimit Salem xuqujeꞌ chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq rech ri nimalaj Dios, xpe chukꞌulaxik xuqujeꞌ chutewechiꞌj ri Abraham are xechꞌektaj kanoq ri e taqanelabꞌ rumal
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.”
ri Abraham xuya ri lajujil rech ronojel ri xuꞌchꞌeka loq pa ri chꞌoꞌj che ri Melquisedec. Ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Melquisedec kel kubꞌij taqanel rech sukꞌal xuqujeꞌ taqanel rech ri tinimit Salem, ri kel kubꞌij taqanel rech jaꞌmaril.
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.
Man kꞌo jun etaꞌmaninaq jawjeꞌ xepe wi ri utat unan, man e kꞌo ta ratiꞌt uꞌmam, xuqujeꞌ man etaꞌmatal jampaꞌ xchapleꞌtaj loq ri ukꞌaslemal xuqujeꞌ jampaꞌ kakꞌisik, jun chꞌawenel cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, kajunumataj rukꞌ ri uKꞌojol ri Dios, ri kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq.
4 See how great this man was to whom the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the things that he had taken in battle.
Qas chiwilampeꞌ chi ri Melquisedec sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij, rumal riꞌ ri Abraham xuya ri lajuj re ronojel ri xuꞌchꞌeka loq pa ri chꞌoꞌj che.
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.
Qas tzij wi, ri e rijaꞌl ri Leví ri kakikꞌamawaꞌj uqꞌabꞌ ri ubꞌanik ri chꞌawem cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, ri taqanik kubꞌij chi taqal chike kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri lajuj re ri kichꞌekoj ri tinimit, pa juleꞌ taq tzij chik pune we winaq riꞌ alaxik kukꞌ ri nikꞌaj chik e rijaꞌl xuqujeꞌ ri Abraham.
6 But Melchizedek, whose descent was not traced from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him, the one who had the promises.
Ri Melquisedec kꞌut, rumal che ri man rijaꞌl ta ri Leví, xukꞌamawaꞌj ri lajuj re ri xuꞌchꞌeka loq ri Abraham pa ri chꞌoꞌj kꞌa te riꞌ xutewechiꞌj ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios rumal chi areꞌ ubꞌim loq we jastaq riꞌ che.
7 There is no denying that the lesser person is blessed by the greater person.
Qas tzij wi qetaꞌm chi ri winaq ri kayoꞌw tewechibꞌal are nim cho ri kakꞌamawaꞌnik ri tewechibꞌal.
8 In this case, mortal men receive tithes, but in that case it is testified that he lives on.
Ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios ri kekꞌamawaꞌnik ri lajuj re ri kichꞌekoj ri winaq, e winaq ri xa kekamik, are kꞌu ri Melquisedec kꞌaslik, rumal cher ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik man kubꞌij taj chi ri Melquisedec xkamik.
9 And, in a manner of speaking, Levi, who received tithes, also paid tithes through Abraham,
Kuyaꞌo kaqabꞌij chi ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios kamik, ri e rijaꞌl ri Leví, xkiya xuqujeꞌ ri lajuj re ri kichꞌekoj che ri Melquisedec, rumal cher are ri Abraham xtojow pa kibꞌiꞌ aꞌreꞌ.
10 because Levi was in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
Rumal cher konojel ri e rijaꞌl ri Leví e rijaꞌl ri Abraham. Pune kꞌamajaꞌ kekꞌojiꞌk are xuriq ri Abraham ri Melquisedec, e kꞌo wi loq che ri Abraham.
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?
Are ri Dios xyoꞌwik ri taqanik chike ri tinimit Israel. We taqanik riꞌ xbꞌanik rumal cher xchomax rij chi ri e rijaꞌl ri Leví keꞌkitoꞌ ri winaq rech kuꞌx sukꞌ. Xa kꞌu rumal cher man xekwin taj ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios xkibꞌan waꞌ we riꞌ, tzi choqꞌaqꞌ wi chi xpe jun kꞌakꞌ chꞌawenel cho ri Dios: jun chꞌawenel cho ri Dios ri man rijaꞌl taj ri Aarón xane rijaꞌl ri Melquisedec.
12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed.
Rumal cher we kakꞌexetaj ri chꞌawenel cho ri Dios, kakꞌexetaj xuqujeꞌ ri taqanik.
13 For the one about whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
Qas tzij, are Jesús we katzijox rij chi riꞌ, Areꞌ upetik chike jupuq winaq chik ri man patanijinaq taj cho ri tzujbꞌal.
14 Now clearly, it is from Judah that our Lord was born, a tribe that Moses never mentioned concerning priests.
Tzi qꞌalaj chi ri Ajawxel chike ri jupuq winaq Judá upetik wi, ri taqanik kubꞌij chi man kuya taj kape jun chꞌawenel cho ri Dios chike we winaq riꞌ.
15 What we say is clearer yet if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek.
Sibꞌalaj man kꞌax taj uchomaxik we kaqakoj pa kwenta chi we chꞌawenel cho ri Dios ri tajin kaqatzijoj rij, kajunumataj rukꞌ ri Melquisedec.
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.
Man kajunumataj ta kꞌut kukꞌ nikꞌaj chꞌawenelabꞌ chik, rumal cher man xchaꞌ taj rumal chi kape chike jupuq kꞌyaqalik winaq, xane xchaꞌik rumal cher kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq.
17 For scripture witnesses about him: “You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
Kaqꞌalajisax kꞌut pa ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik are kubꞌij: At at chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq chibꞌe qꞌij saq, jetaq ri Melquisedec. (aiōn g165)
18 For the former regulation is set aside because it is weak and useless,
Xaq jeriꞌ ri utaqanik ri Moisés xqꞌatiꞌk rumal cher man kꞌo ta xutayij.
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, through which we come near to God.
Rumal cher ri taqanik, man xkwin taj xubꞌan sukꞌ chike ri winaq. Rumal kꞌu riꞌ xokisax chi loq jun kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx ri kakwinik kujuqebꞌisaj rukꞌ ri Dios.
20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath,
Ri Dios xubꞌan jun chꞌekom tzij kukꞌ chi kuya wi na jun kichꞌawenel cho ri Dios man jetaq ta ri e kꞌo kanoq nabꞌe. Ri nikꞌaj e chꞌawenelabꞌ ri e kꞌo kanoq nabꞌe are xoꞌkik man xbꞌan ta chꞌekom tzij kukꞌ.
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)
Are xok ri Cristo che chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, ri Dios xubꞌan jun chꞌekom tzij rukꞌ Areꞌ, rumal cher pa ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Ri Ajawxel xubꞌan jun chꞌekom tzij man kakꞌexen ta wi ri uchomanik: “At at chꞌawenel wi chibꞌe qꞌij saq, jetaq ri Melquisedec.” (aiōn g165)
22 By this also Jesus has given the guarantee of a better covenant.
Rumal riꞌ are ri Jesús yoꞌwinaq kuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx chi kꞌo jun jeꞌl chꞌekom tzij ri uyoꞌm ri Dios chaqe.
23 The former priests were many in number, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi chꞌawenelabꞌ xaq kakikꞌex kibꞌ chubꞌanik ri kipatan rumal chi kekamik.
Ri Jesús rumal che ri maj ukamik, are wa chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, ri kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq. (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.
Rumal kꞌu riꞌ ri Jesús kakwinik kuꞌkol konojel ri keqebꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Areꞌ kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq chubꞌanik chꞌawem pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri winaq amaqꞌel.
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.
Rumal cher ri Jesús are kinimal chꞌawenelabꞌ ri kajawataj chaqe. Rumal cher ri Jesús man kꞌo taj umak, man kꞌo ta chꞌulujil che Areꞌ, xuqujeꞌ man kachiꞌl ta aꞌjmakibꞌ xane yaꞌtal nim uqꞌij cho ri kaj.
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.
Man kajunumataj ta kukꞌ ri nikꞌaj e kinimaꞌqil taq chꞌawenelabꞌ chik. Ri Jesús man kutzuj ta sipanik qꞌij chi qꞌij rumal ri umak, kꞌa te riꞌ rumal kimak ri tinimit, xane Areꞌ xutzuj jun sipanik xa junmul chibꞌe qꞌij saq, are ri ukꞌaslemal.
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)
Qas tzij wi, ri taqanik kuꞌchaꞌ achyabꞌ ri xaq kebꞌaqꞌoꞌtik rech kuꞌxik e kinimaꞌqil ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios, are kꞌu ri chꞌekom tzij ri xbꞌanik are yaꞌom chik ri taqanik are xuchaꞌo ri Kꞌojolaxel rech kok che kinimaꞌqil chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, are wa ri bꞌantal sukꞌ che, chibꞌe qꞌij saq. (aiōn g165)
