< Hebrews 7 >

1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
Melikisedeki ŵaliji mwenye jwa musi wa Salemu ni jwambopesi jwa Akunnungu Ŵakulu. Che Iblahimu paŵaujaga kungondo kuŵauleje mamwenye kula, ŵasimene ni Melikisedeki ni Melikisedeki ŵampele upile che Iblahimu.
2 to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”,
Che Iblahimu nombe ŵampele liunjili lya kakumi lya indu iŵaijigele kungondo. Malumbo ga liina Melikisedeki gali “Mwenye jwakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu”, ni sooni mwenye jwa ku Salemu malumbo gakwe “Mwenye jwa chitendewele.”
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
Ngapagwa papalembekwe Mmalembo ga Akunnungu liina lya atatigwe Melikisedeki atamuno liina lya achikulugwe, ngapagwa jwakwimanyilila ŵapagwile chakachi atamuno ŵawile chakachi. Nombewo akulandana ni Mwana jwa Akunnungu, jwelejo chapunde kuŵa Jwambopesi kwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
Nipele, nnoleje yatite kuŵa jwankulu mundu jo. Ambuje ŵetu che Iblahimu ŵampele liunjili lya kakumi lya indu iŵaijigele kungondo.
5 They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
Tukumanyilila kuti malajisyo gakuti ŵanache ŵa che Lawi ŵaŵaliji ŵambopesi ni ŵakusachilwa kupochela liunjili lya kakumi kutyochela kwa ŵandu ŵa Isilaeli, ŵaali achalongo achinjao, nachiŵamuno ni ŵanyawo ali uŵelesi u che Iblahimu.
6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
Melikisedeki nganaŵa mundu jwa lukosyo lu che Lawi nambo ŵajigele liunjili lya kakumi kutyochela ku che Iblahimu ni sooni ŵampele upile che Iblahimu juŵapegwilwe chilanga ni Akunnungu.
7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
Nambo pangapangwa makani gati jwankulungwa ni jwakumpa upile jwannandi.
8 Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
Ŵambopesi ŵakwigala liunjili lya kumi ŵala ali ŵandu ŵachawe lyuŵa limo, nambo che Melikisedeki juŵapochele liunjili lya kakumi akuŵalanjilwa umboni kuti ali jwanjumi mpela yagakuti Malembelo ga Akunnungu
9 We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
Nipele, tukukombola kusala kuti che Iblahimu paŵatyosisye liunjili lya kakumi, namose che Lawi juŵaliji jwa uŵelesi u che Iblahimu pamo ni uŵelesi wao, ŵatyosisye liunjili lya kakumi.
10 for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
Pakuŵa ikuŵechetekwa kuti Melikisedeki paŵasimene ni che Iblahimu, che Lawi ŵaliji akanaŵe kupagwa, ŵaliji mmiasi ja ambujegwe che Iblahimu.
11 Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Kopochela mu umbopesi wa Ŵalawi ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli ŵapegwilwe lilajisyo. Sambano iŵaga masengo ga umbopesi u che Lawi gamalile ngakukasachilwe kutyochela umbopesi wine waukuyiye umbopesi wa Melikisedeki ni ngaŵa umbopesi u che Haluni.
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
Pakuŵa pakukutyochela kupisyangana kwa chimbopesi, ikuŵajila kugagalausya malajisyo.
13 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
Ni Ambuje ŵetu jwakuŵechetwa mu yeleyo ali jwa lukosyo lwine, nganapagwa namose jumo jwa lukosyo lwao juŵatumichile pa chilisa nti jwambopesi.
14 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
Pakuŵa ikumanyika kuti Ambuje ŵetu ŵatyochele mu lukosyo lwa Yuda ni yankati lukosyo lo che Musa nganaŵecheta chindu chachili chose yankati umbopesi.
15 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
Sooni achi chikumanyika mwakupunda, kuti jwambopesi jwine jwakulandana ni Melikisedeki akopochele.
16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
Jwele nganatendekwa aŵe jwambopesi kwa malajisyo ga ŵandu, nambo kwa machili ga umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
17 for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gaŵalanjile umboni wati, “Mmwejo ndi Jwambopesi mpela wautite pakuŵa umbopesi wa Melikisedeki.” (aiōn g165)
18 For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
Kwayele, alila lilajisyo lya kalakala lyaŵichikwe pambali, pakuŵa lyaliji lyakulepetala nombelyo lyaliji lyangali chindu,
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
pakuŵa malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ngagakukombola kupanganya chindu chiŵe chakumalilwa. Nambo sambano peuto pakwe, kuichisye chilolelo chambone nnope ni kwa litala lya chilolelo cho, tukukombola kwaŵandichila Akunnungu.
20 Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
Kupunda yeleyo, apano chipali chilumbilo cha Akunnungu. Nambo ŵandu ŵane wo ŵatendekwe kuŵa ŵambopesi pangali chilumbilo.
21 (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, “The Lord swore and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’” (aiōn g165)
Nambo Che Yesu atendekwe Jwambopesi nkulumbila, katema Akunnungu paŵansalile, “Ambuje alumbile ni ngasagalausya ‘Mmwejo ni jwambopesi kwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.’” (aiōn g165)
22 By so much, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
Kwa ligongo lya chilumbilo chi, Che Yesu atendekwe chimanyisyo chachikulosya kuti isyene tukwete lilangano lyalili lyambone mwakupunda.
23 Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
Sooni ŵambopesi ŵane ŵajinji ŵa lilangano lya kalakala, chiwa chalekasisye kwendelechela kupanganya masengo.
24 But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable. (aiōn g165)
Nambo Che Yesu nganaŵa mpela ŵanyawo ni akutama moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni umbopesi wakwe ngaukukombola kupegwa mundu jwine. (aiōn g165)
25 Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
Ligongo li akupakombola kwakulupusya kusyene ŵelewo ŵakwaŵandichila Akunnungu kwa litala lyao pakuŵa akutama moŵa gose kuti ŵapopeleleje kwa Akunnungu.
26 For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
Pakuŵa twasachilwe uweji tukole Jwambopesi Jwankulu jwanti nyi, yaani jwali jwanswela, jwangali chileŵo namose sambi ni jwalekangenywe ni ŵandu ŵa sambi, ni kunyakulikwa mwinani kupunda kwinani.
27 who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
Jwelejo ngakulandana ni ŵambopesi achakulu ŵane ŵakusachilwa kutyosya mbopesi kila lyuŵa, kaje akutaga mbopesi kwa sambi syakwe nsyene, ni sooni kwa sambi sya ŵandu. Pakuŵa jwelejo ŵatesile kamo pe kwakatema kose paŵalityosisye nsyene kuwa.
28 For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son forever who has been perfected. (aiōn g165)
Malajisyo ga che Musa gakwasagula ŵandu ŵakulepetala kuŵa ŵambopesi achakulu, nambo lilangano lya Akunnungu liŵaŵisile kwa kulumbila ni sooni lilyaiche mu nyuma mwa malajisyo lyambisile Mwana, jwatendekwe jwamalilwe kwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn g165)
