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--
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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, 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.
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 And beyond all dispute it is always the inferior who is blessed by the superior.
Qas tzij wi qetaꞌm chi ri winaq ri kayoꞌw tewechibꞌal are nim cho ri kakꞌamawaꞌnik ri tewechibꞌal.
8 Moreover here frail mortal men receive tithes: there one receives them about whom there is evidence that he is alive.
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 Levi too--if I may so speak--pays 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 for Levi was yet in the loins of his forefather 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 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?
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 changes, a change of Law also of necessity takes place.
Rumal cher we kakꞌexetaj ri chꞌawenel cho ri Dios, kakꞌexetaj xuqujeꞌ ri taqanik.
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.
Qas tzij, are Jesús we katzijox rij chi riꞌ, Areꞌ upetik chike jupuq winaq chik ri man patanijinaq taj cho ri tzujbꞌal.
14 For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with 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 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,
Sibꞌalaj man kꞌax taj uchomaxik we kaqakoj pa kwenta chi we chꞌawenel cho ri Dios ri tajin kaqatzijoj rij, kajunumataj rukꞌ ri Melquisedec.
16 and hold His office not in obedience to any temporary Law, but by virtue of an indestructible 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 the words are in evidence, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order 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 On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code because it was weak and ineffective--
Xaq jeriꞌ ri utaqanik ri Moisés xqꞌatiꞌk rumal cher man kꞌo ta xutayij.
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.
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 since it was not without an oath being taken--
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 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)
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 so much the more also is the Covenant of which Jesus has become the guarantor, a better covenant.
Rumal riꞌ are ri Jesús yoꞌwinaq kuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx chi kꞌo jun jeꞌl chꞌekom tzij ri uyoꞌm ri Dios chaqe.
23 And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi chꞌawenelabꞌ xaq kakikꞌex kibꞌ chubꞌanik ri kipatan rumal chi kekamik.
24 but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass to any successor. (aiōn g165)
Ri Jesús rumal che ri maj ukamik, are wa chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, ri kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq. (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.
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 Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this--holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men and exalted above 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 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.
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 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)
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)
