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.
Nokuti Merikizedheki uyu, mambo weSaremi, mupristi waMwari Wekumusoro-soro, wakasangana naAbhurahama achidzoka kubva kunouraya madzimambo, ndokumuropafadza,
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.”
Abhurahama wakamugovera chegumi chezvese; iye pakutanga ari nekuturikirwa mambo wekururama, uye shure kweizvozvo mambo weSaremiwo, ndokuti mambo werugare;
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.
asina baba, asina mai, asina dzinza, asina mavambo amazuva, kana kuguma kweupenyu, asi wakafananidzwa neMwanakomana waMwari, anogara ari mupristi nekusingaperi.
4 See how great this man was to whom the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the things that he had taken in battle.
Zvino rangarirai kuti mukuru sei uyu, teteguru Abhurahama vaakapawo chegumi chezvakapambiwa.
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.
Zvino zvirokwazvo avo vanobva kuvanakomana VaRevhi vakagamuchira basa reupristi vane murairo wekutora chegumi kuvanhu zvichienderana nemurairo, ndiko kuti kuhama dzavo, kunyange vakabva muchiuno chaAbhurahama;
6 But Melchizedek, whose descent was not traced from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him, the one who had the promises.
asi iye dzinza rake risina kuverengerwa kwavari wakagamuchira chegumi kuna Abhurahama, akamuropafadza iye wakange ane zvivimbiso.
7 There is no denying that the lesser person is blessed by the greater person.
Zvino pasina kupikisa kwese, mudiki unoropafadzwa nemukuru.
8 In this case, mortal men receive tithes, but in that case it is testified that he lives on.
Uye pano vanhu vanofa vanogamuchira zvegumi; asi apo, anopupurirwa kuti mupenyu ndiye anogamuchira.
9 And, in a manner of speaking, Levi, who received tithes, also paid tithes through Abraham,
Zvino, kunganzi, kubudikidza naAbhurahama Revhiwo anogamuchira zvegumi wakapa zvegumi;
10 because Levi was in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
nokuti wakange achiri muchiuno chababa, apo Merikizedheki akamuchingamidza.
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?
Naizvozvo, kana kupedzeredzwa kwaivapo neupristi hwaRevhi (nokuti pasi pahwo vanhu rwakapiwa murairo), ko umwe mupristi waifanira kuzomukirei kubva kurudzi rwaMerikizedheki, uye asingaidzwi werudzi rwaAroni?
12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed.
Nokuti kana upristi huchishandurwa, zvinofanirawo kuti kuve neshanduko yemurairo.
13 For the one about whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
Nokuti iye anorehwa zvinhu izvi pamusoro pake ndewerumwe rudzi, rwakange rusina munhu wakashumira paaritari.
14 Now clearly, it is from Judah that our Lord was born, a tribe that Moses never mentioned concerning priests.
Nokuti zviri pachena kuti Ishe wedu wakamuka kuna Judha, rudzi Mozisi rwaasina kumbotaura pamusoro parwo maererano neupristi.
15 What we say is clearer yet if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek.
Uye zvichiri pachena kwazvo kwazvo, kana kuchimuka umwe mupristi sewakatodzana naMerikizedheki,
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.
asina kuitwa nenzira yemurairo wekuraira kwenyama, asi nenzira yesimba reupenyu husingaparadziki.
17 For scripture witnesses about him: “You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
Nokuti anopupura achiti: Iwe uri mupristi nekusingaperi kubva kurudzi rwaMerikizedheki. (aiōn g165)
18 For the former regulation is set aside because it is weak and useless,
Nokuti kuparadzwa kwemurairo wekutanga kwakavapo nekuda kweutera nekusabatsira kwawo;
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, through which we come near to God.
nokuti murairo hauna kupedzeredza chinhu, asi kutangiswa kwetariro iri nani kwakazviita, yatinoswedera nayo kuna Mwari.
20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath,
Uye zvaasina kuitwa pasina mhiko,
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)
(nokuti ivo vakava vapristi pasina mhiko, asi iye nemhiko, kubudikidza naiye wakati kwaari: Ishe wakapika uye haangazvidembi achiti: Iwe uri mupristi nekusingaperi kubva kurudzi rwaMerikizedheki); (aiōn g165)
22 By this also Jesus has given the guarantee of a better covenant.
saizvozvo Jesu wakaitwa rubatso rwesungano inopfuura pakunaka.
23 The former priests were many in number, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
Naivo zvirokwazvo vaiva vapristi vazhinji, nokuti vakadziviswa kugara nekuda kwerufu.
Asi uyu, nokuti anogara nekusingaperi ane upristi husingapfuuri. (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.
Naizvozvo ane simbawo rekuponesa zvakakwana avo vanouya kuna Mwari nemaari, zvaanoraramira kuvareverera nekusingaperi.
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.
Nokuti mupristi mukuru wakadaro ndiye wakatifanira, mutsvene, asina chakaipa, asina kusvibiswa, wakaparadzaniswa nevatadzi, wakakwidzwa kupfuura matenga;
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.
asingafaniri zuva nezuva, sevaya vapristi vakuru, kubaira chibairo pakutanga pamusoro pezvivi zvake pachake, pashure zvevanhu; nokuti wakaita izvozvi kamwe chete, paakazvibaira iye.
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)
Nokuti murairo unogadza vanhu kuva vapristi vakuru, vane utera; asi shoko remhiko, rakatevera murairo, rinogadza Mwanakomana, wakakwana nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
