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--
Merukizeddeeki yali kabaka w’e Ssaalemi, era yali kabona wa Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo. Ibulayimu bwe yali ng’ava mu lutalo mwe yattira bakabaka, Merukizeddeeki n’amusisinkana, n’amusabira omukisa.
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:
Ne Ibulayimu n’awa Merukizeddeeki ekitundu eky’ekkumi ekya byonna bye yanyaga. Okusooka erinnya Merukizeddeeki litegeeza nti Kabaka ow’Obutuukirivu. Ate era litegeeza kabaka w’e Ssaalemi ekitegeeza nti ye kabaka ow’emirembe.
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.
Merukizeddeeki taliiko kitaawe oba nnyina. Ennaku ze teziriiko ntandikwa wadde enkomerero, era n’obulamu bwe tebukoma. Asigala kabona emirembe gyonna, ng’Omwana wa Katonda.
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.
Kale mulabe Merukizeddeeki oyo nga bwe yali omukulu! Ibulayimu jjajjaffe yamuwa ekimu eky’ekkumi ekya byonna bye yanyaga.
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.
N’abo abazzukulu ba Leevi abaaweebwa obwakabona, balagirwa okusoloozanga ekimu eky’ekkumi ng’etteeka bwe ligamba, newaakubadde nga baava mu ntumbwe za Ibulayimu, kwe kugamba nti nabo baganda baabwe.
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.
Naye oyo ataabalibwa mu kika kyabwe, yafuna ekimu eky’ekkumi okuva eri Ibulayimu, Merukizeddeeki n’asabira omukisa oyo eyalina ebyasuubizibwa.
7 And beyond all dispute it is always the inferior who is blessed by the superior.
Tewali kubuusabuusa omukulu y’asabira omuto omukisa.
8 Moreover here frail mortal men receive tithes: there one receives them about whom there is evidence that he is alive.
Mu ngeri emu, ekimu eky’ekkumi kiweebwa eri abantu abafa, naye mu ngeri endala, kiweebwa eri oyo akakasibwa nga mulamu.
9 And Levi too--if I may so speak--pays tithes through Abraham:
Noolwekyo ka tugambe nti okuyita mu Ibulayimu, ne Leevi aweebwa ekimu eky’ekkumi, naye yawaayo ekimu eky’ekkumi.
10 for Levi was yet in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met Abraham.
Yali akyali mu ntumbwe za jjajjaawe, Merukizeddeeki bwe yamusisinkana.
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?
Kale singa okutuukirira kwaliwo lwa bwakabona obw’Ekileevi, kubanga abantu baaweebwa amateeka nga gasinzira ku bwo, kiki ekyetaaza kabona omulala okuva mu lubu lwa Merukizeddeeki, mu kifo ky’okuva mu lubu lwa Alooni?
12 For when the priesthood changes, a change of Law also of necessity takes place.
Kubanga bwe wabaawo okukyusibwa mu bwakababona, era kiba kyetaagisa n’okukyusa mu mateeka.
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.
Oyo ayogerwako ebigambo ebyo wa kika kirala omutaavanga muntu eyali aweerezaako ku Kyoto.
14 For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.
Kubanga kimanyiddwa nga Mukama waffe yava mu Yuda ekika Musa ky’ataayogerako bigambo bya bwakabona.
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,
Era kitegeerekeka nga wazeewo Kabona omulala mu kifaananyi kya Merukizeddeeki,
16 and hold His office not in obedience to any temporary Law, but by virtue of an indestructible Life.
atassibwawo ng’amateeka ag’ebiragiro eby’omubiri bwe gali, wabula ng’amaanyi bwe gali ag’obulamu obutaggwaawo.
17 For the words are in evidence, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
Kubanga Kristo ayogerwako nti, “Oli kabona okutuusa emirembe gyonna ng’olubu lwa Merukizeddeeki bwe luli.” (aiōn g165)
18 On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code because it was weak and ineffective--
Ekiragiro ekyasooka kijjululwa olw’obunafu n’olw’obutagasa bwakyo,
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.
kubanga amateeka tegaliiko kye gatuukiriza, wabula essubi erisinga obulungi, mwe tuyita okusemberera Katonda.
20 And since it was not without an oath being taken--
Era kino tekyakolebwa watali kirayiro. Waliwo abaafuulibwa bakabona awatali kirayiro,
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)
naye ye yafuulibwa kabona mu kirayiro, ng’ayita mu oyo amwogerako nti, “Mukama yalayira era tagenda kwejjusa: ‘Oli kabona emirembe gyonna.’” (aiōn g165)
22 so much the more also is the Covenant of which Jesus has become the guarantor, a better covenant.
Yesu kyeyava afuuka omuyima w’endagaano esinga obulungi.
23 And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:
Bangi abaafuulibwa bakabona kubanga baafanga ne basikirwa.
24 but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass to any successor. (aiōn g165)
Naye olwokubanga Yesu abeerera emirembe gyonna, alina obwakabona obutakyukakyuka. (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.
Era kyava ayinza okulokolera ddala abajja eri Katonda ku bubwe, kubanga abeera mulamu ennaku zonna okubawolereza.
26 Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this--holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men and exalted above the heavens;
Noolwekyo Kabona Asinga Obukulu afaanana bw’atyo ye yatusaanira, omutukuvu, ataliiko musango, wadde ebbala, eyayawulibwa okuva ku abo abalina ebibi, era eyagulumizibwa okusinga eggulu,
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.
ataliiko kye yeetaaga ekya buli lunaku, nga bakabona abakulu abalala, okusooka okuwangayo ssaddaaka olw’ebibi bye ye, n’oluvannyuma olw’ebyo eby’abantu abalala. Ekyo yakikola omulundi gumu, bwe yeewaayo yennyini.
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)
Amateeka gaalondanga abantu okuba Bakabona Abasinga Obukulu n’obunafu bwabwe, naye ekigambo eky’ekirayiro, ekyaddirira amateeka, kironda Omwana eyatuukirira okutuusa emirembe gyonna. (aiōn g165)
