Hebrews 7
1 For this man, Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of the Most High God--he who when Abraham was returning after defeating the kings met him and pronounced a blessing on him--
Mèlkisedèk sa a, se te wa peyi Salèm, yon prèt ki t'ap sèvi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Lè Abraram t'ap tounen lakay li, apre li te fin kraze kèk wa nan yon batay, Mèlkisedèk vin kontre l', li ba l' benediksyon.
2 to whom also Abraham presented a tenth part of all--being first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and secondly King of Salem, that is, King of peace:
Lè sa a, Abraram separe ba li yon dizyèm nan tou sa li te pran. Non Mèlkisedèk la gen de sans. Nan yon premye sans, li vle di Wa ki bay jistis la. Men, akòz li te wa peyi Salèm, li gen yon dezyèm sans. Li vle di tou Wa ki bay kè poze a.
3 with no father or mother, and no record of ancestry: having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made a type of the Son of God--this man Melchizedek remains a priest for ever.
Mèlkisedèk sa a, nou pa konn ni papa l', ni manman l', ni okenn nan zansèt li yo. Yo pa di ki bò l' te fèt, ni ki bò l' mouri. Li tankou Pitit Bondye a, li rete prèt pou tout tan.
4 Now think how great this priest-king must have been to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth part of the best of the spoil.
Nou tou wè ki kalite grannèg nonm sa a te ye, pou granpapa nou, Abraram, te ba li yon dizyèm nan tou sa l' te pran nan batay la.
5 And those of the descendants of Levi who receive the priesthood are authorized by the Law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these have sprung from Abraham.
Dapre lalwa Moyiz, se nan ras Levi ase yo chwazi moun ki pou sèvi prèt. Prèt sa yo resevwa lòd pou yo mande pèp la yon dizyèm sou tout bagay, sa vle di, yo mande moun ki sitwayen menm peyi ak yo pou bay yon dizyèm nan tou sa yo genyen. Men, yo tout se pitit pitit Abraram yo ye.
6 But, in this instance, one who does not trace his origin from them takes tithes from Abraham, and pronounces a blessing on him to whom the promises belong.
Mèlkisedèk menm pa t' moun ras Levi. Men malgre sa, Abraram te ba li yon dizyèm nan tou sa li te pran. Sa ki pi rèd ankò, Mèlkisedèk bay moun ki te resevwa pwomès Bondye a benediksyon.
7 And beyond all dispute it is always the inferior who is blessed by the superior.
Moun ki bay benediksyon pi gran pase moun ki resevwa benediksyon. Sa se vre.
8 Moreover here frail mortal men receive tithes: there one receives them about whom there is evidence that he is alive.
Nan ka prèt ras Levi yo, ofrann yon dizyèm lan se pou moun ki gen pou mouri. Men, nan ka Mèlkisedèk la, ladim lan se pou yon moun ki vivan, jan sa ekri nan Liv la.
9 And Levi too--if I may so speak--pays tithes through Abraham:
Gen plis ankò: nou ka di lè Abraram te bay ofrann dizyèm lan, Levi te peye l' tou, li menm Levi ki gen pitit pitit li yo k'ap resevwa ofrann dizyèm lan koulye a.
10 for Levi was yet in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met Abraham.
Paske, nan yon sans, Levi ki pa t' ankò fèt te nan ren granpapa l', Abraram, lè Mèlkisedèk te vin kontre l' la.
11 Now if the crowning blessing was attainable by means of the Levitical priesthood--for as resting on this foundation the people received the Law, to which they are still subject-- what further need was there for a Priest of a different kind to be raised up belonging to the order of Melchizedek instead of being said to belong to the order of Aaron?
Se sou baz travay prèt ras Levi yo Bondye te bay pèp Izrayèl la lalwa Moyiz la. Si travay prèt ras Levi yo te yon travay ki te bon nèt, pa ta gen nesesite menm pou yon lòt prèt ki menm jan ak Mèlkisedèk men ki pa menm jan ak Arawon ta vini.
12 For when the priesthood changes, a change of Law also of necessity takes place.
Lè yo chanje travay prèt la, se pou yo chanje lalwa a tou.
13 He, however, to whom that prophecy refers is associated with a different tribe, not one member of which has anything to do with the altar.
Men, nan tout pawòl sa yo, se sou Seyè a y'ap pale. Men li menm, li soti nan yon lòt branch fanmi, ki pa janm gen pesonn ladan l' ki te konn fè sèvis prèt yo devan lòtèl la.
14 For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.
Sa se bagay tout moun konnen, Jezi te fèt nan branch fanmi Jida. Moyiz pa t' janm bay non sa a lè li t'ap pale sou prèt yo.
15 And this is still more abundantly clear when we read that it is as belonging to the order of Melchizedek that a priest of a different kind is to arise,
Bon, men yon lòt pwen k'ap eklèsi keksyon an plis toujou. Nou wè se yon lòt prèt ki tankou Mèlkisedèk ki vin la a.
16 and hold His office not in obedience to any temporary Law, but by virtue of an indestructible Life.
Yo pa t' fè l' prèt dapre regleman lèzòm: men, se akòz pouvwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an kifè yo fè l' prèt.
17 For the words are in evidence, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Ou prèt pou tout tan menm jan ak Mèlkisedèk. (aiōn g165)
18 On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code because it was weak and ineffective--
Konsa, yo mete ansyen regleman an sou kote, paske li fèb, li pa t' kapab sèvi anyen ankò.
19 for the Law brought no perfect blessing--but on the other hand we have the bringing in of a new and better hope by means of which we draw near to God.
Lalwa Moyiz la pa t' kapab rann anyen bon nèt sou tout pwen. Men, koulye a, yo ban nou yon pi bèl espwa, kifè nou ka pwoche bò kot Bondye.
20 And since it was not without an oath being taken--
Gen yon lòt bagay ankò: Se sèman Bondye te fè a. Bondye te fè lòt yo prèt san l' pa t' fè sèman.
21 for these men hold office without any oath having been taken, but He holds it attested by an oath from Him who said to Him, "The Lord has sworn and will not recall His words, Thou art a Priest for ever" -- (aiōn g165)
Men pou Jezi, Bondye te fè sèman lè li t'ap mete l' prèt, paske li te di: Bondye fè sèman. L'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li: Ou prèt pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
22 so much the more also is the Covenant of which Jesus has become the guarantor, a better covenant.
Konsa, avèk Jezi sa ban nou yon garanti, nou gen yon lòt kontra ak Bondye ki pi bon lontan pase premye a.
23 And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:
Gen yon lòt diferans ankò: Te gen anpil prèt nan lòt kategori a, paske se tout tan yo t'ap mouri. Yon sèl pa t' ka kenbe travay la nèt ale.
24 but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass to any successor. (aiōn g165)
Men, Jezi li menm toujou vivan, li pa janm bezwen renmèt travay prèt la bay okenn lòt moun pou fè l' nan plas li. (aiōn g165)
25 Hence too He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, seeing that He ever lives to plead for them.
Se poutèt sa, depi koulye a, epi pou tout tan, li ka delivre tout moun, l'ap fè yo pwoche bò kot Bondye paske li menm li toujou vivan, l'ap lapriyè Bondye pou yo.
26 Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this--holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men and exalted above the heavens;
Konsa, Jezi se granprèt nou te bezwen an. Li bon nèt, li pa janm fè okenn bagay ki mal, ni okenn peche. Yo mete l' apa, yo wete l' nan mitan moun k'ap fè peche yo. Bondye leve l', li mete l' pi wo pase syèl la.
27 who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing He did once for all when He offered up Himself.
Li pa tankou lòt granprèt yo. Li pa bezwen ap ofri chak jou yon bann bèt pou yo touye pou peche pa l' yo anvan, epi pou peche pèp la apre sa. Li pa nan sa li menm. Li fè yon sèl ofrann fini ak sa lè li te ofri tèt li a.
28 For the Law constitutes men High Priests--men with all their infirmity--but the utterance of the oath, which came later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has been made for ever perfect. (aiōn g165)
Dapre lalwa Moyiz la, se moun ki poko bon nèt yo te mete sèvi granprèt. Men, dapre pawòl sèman Bondye a, pawòl ki vin lontan apre lalwa a, moun Bondye mete granprèt la, se Pitit li a ki te vin bon nèt sou tout pwen pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
