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.
I Melkizedeke ‘nio, nimpanjaka’ i Salema, mpisoron’ Añahare Andindimoneñey, ie ty nifanalaka amy Abraàme nimpoly amy nandrebaha’e i mpanjaka rey naho nitata’e,
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.”
le nitolora’ i Abraàme ty fahafolo’ ze he’ey—ie atao Mpanjakan-kavantañañe hey, ty amy dika i tahina’ey, vaho Mpanjaka’ i Salema ndra Mpanjakam-panintsiñañe;
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.
ie tsy aman-drae, tsy aman-drene, tsy aman-toñon-droae, tsy aman’ androm-pifotora’e, tsy amam-pitamperan-kaveloñe, fe nampanahafeñe amy Anan’ Añaharey, mitoetse ho mpisoroñe nainai’e tsy modo.
4 See how great this man was to whom the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the things that he had taken in battle.
Haraharao heike ty hara’ elahi’ indatiy kanao nitolora’ i Abraàme raentika ty faha-folo’ o kinopa’eo.
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.
Le toe lilie’ i Hake o tarira’ i Levy norizan-ko mpisoroñeo ty hanontoñe am’ondatio, toe amo longo’eo, i faha-foloy, ie boak’ am-pisafoa’ i Abraàme.
6 But Melchizedek, whose descent was not traced from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him, the one who had the promises.
Le i tsy toñoneñe aman-droae’ iareoy ty nandrambe ty faha-folo amy Abraàme vaho nitata i nampitamàñey.
7 There is no denying that the lesser person is blessed by the greater person.
Tsy kalafo te mitata ty zay ty zoke.
8 In this case, mortal men receive tithes, but in that case it is testified that he lives on.
Naho atoy re le rambese’ ondaty mbe hihomakeo i faha-foloy, fe i añey ro taroñeñe te veloñe.
9 And, in a manner of speaking, Levi, who received tithes, also paid tithes through Abraham,
Aa ie tsaraeñey, i Levy mpandrambe i fahafoloy, ro nandoa ty faha-folo añamy Abraàme,
10 because Levi was in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
amy t’ie tampisafoan-droae’e ao te nifanalaka amy Melkizedeke.
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?
Aa naho nahafonitse ty fisoroña’ i Levy (toe ama’e ty nandrambesa’ ondatio Hake) le inoñe amy zao ty ipaiañe mpisoroñe hitroatse amy famosora’ i Melkizedekey, fa tsy amy famosora’ i Aroney?
12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed.
Aa kanao vaoeñe i famosorañey, tsy mahay tsy vaoeñe ka t’i Hake.
13 For the one about whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
Amy te foko hafa i tsaraeñey, le tsy ama’e ty nitoron-kitrely.
14 Now clearly, it is from Judah that our Lord was born, a tribe that Moses never mentioned concerning priests.
Toe fohiñe te tarira’ i Joda i Talèn-tika, fe tsy nisaontsie’ i Mosè fisoroñañe t’i Joda,
15 What we say is clearer yet if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek.
miha-malange te mpisoroñe manahak’ i Melkizedeke ty nitroatse,
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.
ie tsy nanoeñe am-pepè’ i Hake ty am-panoñonan-drae, fa an-kaozaran-kaveloñe tsy modo.
17 For scripture witnesses about him: “You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
Ty hoe ty nitaroñe’e: Mpisoroñe nainai’e irehe Amy famosora’ i Melkizedekey. (aiōn g165)
18 For the former regulation is set aside because it is weak and useless,
Toe miha-modo i fepetse taoloy ami’ty hamavazoa’e naho ty tsy fahalefea’e,
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, through which we come near to God.
(amy te tsy eo ty nahatafetere’ i Hake), fe nipoteake ty fitamàn-tsoa, hitotofan-tika aman’ Añahare;
20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath,
mbore nanoeñe am-panta,
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)
(toe tsy fanoeñ’ am-panta o mpisoroñeo, f’itoy ro am-panta, ie nanoeñe ty hoe: Toe nifanta t’Iehovà vaho tsy hihotike: Mpisoroñe nainai’e irehe.) (aiōn g165)
22 By this also Jesus has given the guarantee of a better covenant.
Antsake t’ie ho fañina soa, amy te mitsoak’ aze t’Iesoa.
23 The former priests were many in number, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
Maro i mpisoroñe rezay, ie tsy mijadoñe am-pitoloña’e fa agadon-kavilasy.
Fa itìañe ka, kanao mitoloñe nainai’e, ro am-pisoroñañe tsy ifandimbezañe. (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.
Izay ty talim-pahahenefa’e rombake do’e o mitotok’ aman’ Añahare añama’eo, ie veloñe nainai’e hihalaly ho a iareo.
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.
Mañeva an-tika i Mpisorombey zay: ie masiñe, tsy aman-tahiñe, tsy aman-kila, miavak’ amo aman-kakeoo, vaho nonjoneñe ambone’ o likerañeo.
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.
Ie tsy mipay boak’ andro, manahake o mpisoroñe taoloo, ty hañenga soroñe ho amo tahi’eo hey vaho ho amo hakeo’ ondatio. Fa nanoe’e indraik’ avao ie nañenga i fañòva’ey.
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)
Oriza’ i Hake t’indaty aman-kila ho mpisorom-bey; fe i tsara am-panta sinokitse tafara’ i Hake ty nañorizañe i Anake nifonireñe ho nainai’ey. (aiōn g165)
