< 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--
Jhajhele naha Melkizedeki mfalme ghwa Salemu, Kuhani ghwa K'yara jhaajhele kunani, jhaabhonene ni Abrahamu ik'erebhuka kuhoma kubhakhoma bhafalme na ampelili.
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:
Abrahamu alimpa moja jha kumi jha khila khenu kya amalili kukiteka. Lihina lya muene “Melkizedeki” ndabha jhiake” mfalme ghwa haki” ni kabhele “mfalme ghwa Salemu” ambajhe ndo “mfalme ghwa amani.”
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.
Ajhelepi ni Dadijhe, ajhelepi ni nyinamunu, ajhelepi ni bhazazi ajhelepi ni mwanzo ghwa ligono wala mwishu ghwa maisha gha muene. Badala jhiake ibakila kuhani milele, kama mwana ghwa K'yara.
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.
Henu fikirilayi jinsi munu ojho kyaajhele mbaha. Mzazi ghwa j'hoto Abrahamu ampelili moja jha kumi jha fenu finofu fyaafitolili ku ngondo.
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.
Na bhuhakika lukholo kwa Bhalawi bhabhajhamb'elili ofisi sya kikuhani bhajhele ni amri kuhoma ku sheria kubhonganiya moja jha kumi kuhoma kwa bhanu, ambajho ndo, kuhoma kwa Bhaisraeli bhaj'hinu, pamonga ni kwamba bhene, kabhele, ndo lukholo kuhoma kwa Abrahamu.
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.
Lakini Melkizedeki, ambajhe ajhelepi ni lukholo kuhoma kwa Bhalawi ajhamb'elili moja jha kumi kuhoma kwa Abrahamu, na ambariki, muene ajhele ni ahadi.
7 And beyond all dispute it is always the inferior who is blessed by the superior.
Apu j'hibelekelibhwalepi kwamba munu n'debe ibarikibhwa ni mbaha.
8 Moreover here frail mortal men receive tithes: there one receives them about whom there is evidence that he is alive.
Kwa lijambo e'le munu j'ha ij'hambelela moja j'ha kumi ibetakufwa ligono limonga, lakini kwa lijambo l'enge mjunu j'haapokili moja j'ha kumi kuhoma kwa Abrahamu akajhelekesibhwa kama kyajhiishi.
9 And Levi too--if I may so speak--pays tithes through Abraham:
Ni kwa namna jha kulongela, Lawi j'haaj'hambelili moja j'ha kumi, kabhele al'epili moja j'ha kumi kwa Abrahamu,
10 for Levi was yet in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met Abraham.
kwa ndabha Lawi ajhele mu fiuno fya dadimunu Abrahamu bho Melkizedeki abhonene ni Abrahamu.
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?
Henu kama bhukamilifu bhwawesekene kup'elela bhukuhani bhwa Lawi, (naha pasi a muene bhanu bhij'hamb'elela sheria), kwaj'hele ni lihitaji leleku kwa kuhani j'hongi kutupuka baada jha mfumu ghwa Melkizedeki, na sio kukutibhwa baada jha mpangililu bhwa Haruni?
12 For when the priesthood changes, a change of Law also of necessity takes place.
Henu bhukuhani bhukasanusibhuajhi, ijhelepibudi kabhele sheria nij'hiene kusanisibhwa.
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.
Kwa mmonga ambajhe mambo agha jobhibhu kuhusu likabila l'enge, kuhoma kwa muene ajhelepi jhaadumuili mu madhabahu.
14 For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.
Henu ndo bhuasi kujha Bwana bhitu ahomili mu Yuda, likabila ambalyo Musa alitajilepi kuhusu makuhani.
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,
Ni agha ghatwijobha ndo bhuasi kujha hasa jhikajhiaghe kuhani j'hongi ibetakuhomela kwa mfano ghwa Melkizedeki.
16 and hold His office not in obedience to any temporary Law, but by virtue of an indestructible Life.
Kuhani ojho mpya sio mmonga ambajhe ajhele kuhani panani pa misingi ghya sheria syasihusiana ni bhuzao bhwa munu, lakini mu misingi ghya nghofu ghya maisha ghaghabhwesilepi khonangeka.
17 For the words are in evidence, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn )
Mabadiliku agha ghishuhudila kuhusu muene: “Bhebhe ndo kuhani milele baada jha mfumo bhwa Melkizedeki.” (aiōn )
18 On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code because it was weak and ineffective--
Kwa kujha amri jhaj'halongolili jhabhekibhu palubhafu kwandabha jhajhele dhaifu na j'hifwajheghe lepi.
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.
Naha sheria j'habhombilepi kyokyoha kikamilifu. Isipokujha, kwajhele ni bhujasiri n'nofu kwa aghu tukan'hegela K'yara.
20 And since it was not without an oath being taken--
Ni bhujasiri obho bhunofu bhwahomili lepi bila kulongelelela kiapu, kwa e'le makuhani bhamana bhatolili lepi kiapu kyokyoha.
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 )
Lakini K'yara atolili kiapu bho ajobhili kuhusu Yesu, “Bwana alapili na ibetalepi kusanusya abhuasu gha muene.' bhebhe ndo kuhani milele.” (aiōn )
22 so much the more also is the Covenant of which Jesus has become the guarantor, a better covenant.
Kwa e'le Yesu kabhele ahidili kujha dhamana lya agano linofu.
23 And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:
Kwa hakika, kifo kizuila makuhani kuhudumu milele. Ej'he kwandabha bhaj'hele makuhani bhamehele mmonga baada jha j'hongi.
24 but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass to any successor. (aiōn )
Lakini kwandabha Yesu iishi milele bhukuhani bhwa muene bhwikisanusya lepi. (aiōn )
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.
Henu ni muene kabhele ibhwesya kwa ukamilifu kukamilisya kubhaokola bhabhakan'karibila K'yara kup'et'ela muene, kwa kujha muene iishi daima kwa kusoka kwa ndabha jha bhene.
26 Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this--holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men and exalted above the heavens;
Henu kuhani mbaha ghwa namna ejhe dhambi hatia, n'nofu, j'haatengibhu kuhoma kwa bhenye dhambi, na ajhele panani kuliko mbingu.
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.
Muene ajhelepi ni bhuhitaji, mfano ghwa makuhani bhabhaha, kupisya dhabihu khila ligono, hoti kwa dhambi jha muene, ni baadajhe kwa dhambi sya bhanu. Abhombili naha mara jhimonga kwa bhoha, bho akihomisi muene.
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 )
Kwa sheria akabhasalanu bhadhaifu kujha makuhani bhabhaha, lakini lilobhi lya kiapu, lyalyahidili baada jha sheria, an'teuili Muana, jhaabhombiki kujha n'kamilifu milele. (aiōn )
