< Hebrews 7 >

1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings,
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 and blessed him, to whom also Abraham divided the tenth of all his spoils; being in the first place, by interpretation of his name, king of righteousness, and moreover king of Salem, which 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 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days recorded, nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, remaineth a priest continually.
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 consider how great a man this was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
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 indeed of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment according to the law to take tithes of the people, that is, of their brethren, though they came out of the loins of 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 he, whose pedigree is not reckoned among them, took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
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 Now without all contradiction the inferior is blessed by the superior:
Qas tzij wi qetaꞌm chi ri winaq ri kayoꞌw tewechibꞌal are nim cho ri kakꞌamawaꞌnik ri tewechibꞌal.
8 besides, here men that die receive tithes; but there he of whom it is testified that he liveth.
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 (as one may say) even Levi, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in 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 he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
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 perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law) what farther need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchisedec, and not after 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 the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change also of the law.
Rumal cher we kakꞌexetaj ri chꞌawenel cho ri Dios, kakꞌexetaj xuqujeꞌ ri taqanik.
13 Now He, of whom these things are said, is of another tribe, of which none ever attended at 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 evident that our Lord sprang from Judah, as to which tribe Moses spake nothing about the priesthood.
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 it is yet more abundantly evident, that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
Sibꞌalaj man kꞌax taj uchomaxik we kaqakoj pa kwenta chi we chꞌawenel cho ri Dios ri tajin kaqatzijoj rij, kajunumataj rukꞌ ri Melquisedec.
16 who is made not according to the law of a temporary command, but according to the power of an endless 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 He testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (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 For there is indeed a disannulling of the preceding command, on account of it's weakness and unprofitableness;
Xaq jeriꞌ ri utaqanik ri Moisés xqꞌatiꞌk rumal cher man kꞌo ta xutayij.
19 for the law made nothing perfect, but the introducing of a better hope did, by 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 Moreover inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath,
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 they indeed are become priests without the solemnity of an oath; but He with an oath, by Him who said unto Him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:") (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 by so much is Jesus become the surety of 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 were many priests, because they were by death hindered from continuing in their office;
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi chꞌawenelabꞌ xaq kakikꞌex kibꞌ chubꞌanik ri kipatan rumal chi kekamik.
24 but He, because He abideth for ever, hath a priesthood that passeth not to any other: (aiōn g165)
Ri Jesús rumal che ri maj ukamik, are wa chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, ri kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq. (aiōn g165)
25 wherefore also He is able to save to the uttermost, those that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession 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 For such an high-priest was meet for us, who was holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and higher than 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 hath no need, as the Levitical high-priests had, daily to offer sacrifices first for his own sins, and then for those of the people: for this He did once for all, in offering 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 appointeth men high-priests, who have infirmity; but the oath, recorded since the law, appointeth the Son to be priest for ever, being fully perfected for it. (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)
