Hebrews 7
1 And this Melchisedech, king of Salem, and preest of the hiyeste God, which mette with Abraham, as he turnede ayen fro the sleyng of kyngis, and blesside hym;
Kwa kuwa huyu Melkizedeki alikuwa mfalme wa Salemu na kuhani wa Mungu Aliye Juu Sana. Alipokutana na Abrahamu akirudi kutoka kuwashinda hao wafalme, Melkizedeki alimbariki,
2 to whom also Abraham departide tithis of alle thingis; first he is seid king of riytwisnesse, and aftirward kyng of Salem, that is to seie, king of pees,
naye Abrahamu alimpa sehemu ya kumi ya kila kitu. Kwanza, jina hilo Melkizedeki maana yake ni “mfalme wa haki.” Na pia “mfalme wa Salemu” maana yake ni “mfalme wa amani.”
3 with out fadir, with out modir, with out genologie, nether hauynge bigynnyng of daies, nether ende of lijf; and he is lickened to the sone of God, and dwellith preest with outen ende.
Hana Baba wala mama, hana ukoo, hana mwanzo wala mwisho wa siku zake. Kama Mwana wa Mungu, yeye adumu akiwa kuhani milele.
4 But biholde ye how greet is this, to whom Abraham the patriark yaf tithis of the beste thingis.
Tazama jinsi alivyokuwa mkuu: Hata Abrahamu, baba yetu mkuu, alimpa sehemu ya kumi ya nyara zake.
5 For men of the sones of Leuy takinge presthod han maundement to take tithis of the puple, bi the lawe, that is to seie, of her britheren, thouy also thei wenten out of the leendis of Abraham.
Basi sheria inawaagiza wana wa Lawi ambao hufanyika makuhani kupokea sehemu ya kumi kutoka kwa watu ambao ni ndugu zao, ingawa ndugu zao ni wazao wa Abrahamu.
6 But he whos generacioun is not noumbrid in hem, took tithis of Abraham; and he blesside this Abraham, which hadde repromyssiouns.
Huyu Melkizedeki, ingawa hakufuatia ukoo wake kutoka kwa Lawi, lakini alipokea sehemu ya kumi kutoka kwa Abrahamu na kumbariki yeye aliyekuwa na zile ahadi.
7 With outen ony ayenseiyng, that that is lesse, is blessid of the betere.
Wala hakuna shaka kwamba mdogo hubarikiwa na aliye mkuu kumliko yeye.
8 And heere deedli men taken tithis; but there he berith witnessyng, that he lyueth.
Kwa upande mmoja, sehemu ya kumi hupokelewa na wale ambao hupatikana na kufa; lakini kwa upande mwingine hupokelewa na yeye ambaye hushuhudiwa kuwa yu hai.
9 And that it be seid so, bi Abraham also Leuy, that took tithis, was tithid; and yit he was in his fadris leendis,
Mtu anaweza hata kusema kwamba Lawi, ambaye hupokea sehemu ya kumi, alitoa hiyo sehemu ya kumi kupitia kwa Abrahamu,
10 whanne Melchisedech mette with hym.
kwa sababu Melkizedeki alipokutana na Abrahamu, Lawi alikuwa bado katika viuno vya baba yake wa zamani.
11 Therfor if perfeccioun was bi the preesthood of Leuy, for vndur hym the puple took the lawe, what yit was it nedeful, another preest to rise, bi the ordre of Melchisedech, and not to be seid bi the ordre of Aaron?
Kama ukamilifu ungeweza kupatikana kwa njia ya ukuhani wa Walawi (kwa kuwa katika msingi huo, sheria ilitolewa kwa watu), kwa nini basi imekuwepo haja ya kuja kuhani mwingine: kuhani kwa mfano wa Melkizedeki, wala si kwa mfano wa Aroni?
12 For whi whanne the preesthod is translatid, it is nede that also translacioun of the lawe be maad.
Kwa kuwa yanapotokea mabadiliko ya ukuhani, pia lazima yawepo mabadiliko ya sheria.
13 But he in whom these thingis ben seid, is of another lynage, of which no man was preest to the auter.
Yeye ambaye mambo haya yanasemwa alikuwa wa kabila lingine, na hakuna mtu wa kabila hilo aliyewahi kuhudumu katika madhabahu.
14 For it is opyn, that oure Lord is borun of Juda, in which lynage Moises spak no thing of preestis.
Kwa maana ni dhahiri kwamba Bwana wetu alitoka katika uzao wa Yuda, tena kuhusu kabila hilo Mose hakusema lolote kwa habari za makuhani.
15 And more yit it is knowun, if bi the ordre of Melchisedech another preest is risun vp;
Tena hayo tuliyosema yako wazi zaidi kama akitokea kuhani mwingine kama Melkizedeki,
16 which is not maad bi the lawe of fleischli maundement, but bi vertu of lijf that may not be vndon.
yeye ambaye amefanyika kuhani si kwa misingi ya sheria kama ilivyokuwa kwa baba zake, bali kwa misingi ya uwezo wa uzima usioharibika.
17 For he witnessith, That thou art a preest with outen ende, bi the ordre of Melchisedech; (aiōn g165)
Kwa maana imeshuhudiwa kwamba: “Wewe ni kuhani milele, kwa mfano wa Melkizedeki.” (aiōn g165)
18 that repreuyng of the maundement bifor goynge is maad, for the vnsadnesse and vnprofit of it.
Kwa upande mmoja, ile amri ya mwanzo isiyofaa na dhaifu imebatilishwa
19 For whi the lawe brouyt no thing to perfeccioun, but there is a bringing in of a betere hope, bi which we neiyen to God.
(kwa maana sheria haikufanya kitu chochote kuwa kikamilifu). Kwa upande mwingine, tumeletewa tumaini lililo bora zaidi ambalo linatuleta karibu na Mungu.
20 And hou greet it is, not with out sweryng; but the othere ben maad preestis with outen an ooth;
Nalo tumaini hilo halikutolewa pasipo kiapo! Wengine walikuwa makuhani pasipo kiapo chochote,
21 but this preest with an ooth, bi hym that seide `to hym, The Lord swoor, and it schal not rewe hym, Thou art a preest with outen ende, bi the ordre of Melchisedech; (aiōn g165)
lakini Yesu alifanywa kuhani kwa kiapo wakati Mungu alimwambia: “Bwana ameapa naye hatabadilisha mawazo yake: ‘Wewe ni kuhani milele.’” (aiōn g165)
22 in so myche Jhesus is maad biheetere of the betere testament.
Kwa ajili ya kiapo hiki, Yesu amekuwa mdhamini wa agano lililo bora zaidi.
23 And the othere weren maad manye preestis, `therfor for thei weren forbedun bi deth to dwelle stille;
Basi pamekuwepo na makuhani wengi wa aina hiyo, kwa kuwa kifo kiliwazuia kuendelea na huduma yao ya ukuhani.
Lakini kwa sababu Yesu anaishi milele, anao ukuhani wa kudumu. (aiōn g165)
25 Wherfor also he may saue with outen ende, comynge nyy bi hym silf to God, and euermore lyueth to preye for vs.
Kwa hiyo anaweza kuwaokoa kabisa wale wanaomjia Mungu kupitia kwake, kwa sababu yeye adumu daima kuomba kwa ajili yao.
26 For it bisemyde that sich a man were a bischop to vs, hooli, innocent, vndefoulid, clene, departid fro synful men, and maad hiyere than heuenes;
Kwa kuwa ilitupasa tuwe na Kuhani Mkuu wa namna hii, yaani, aliye mtakatifu, asiye na lawama, asiye na dosari, aliyetengwa na wenye dhambi na kuinuliwa juu ya mbingu.
27 which hath not nede ech dai, as prestis, first for hise owne giltis to offre sacrifices, and aftirward for the puple; for he dide this thing in offringe hym silf onys.
Yeye hahitaji kutoa dhabihu siku kwa siku kwa ajili ya dhambi, kwanza kwa ajili ya dhambi zake mwenyewe, kisha kwa ajili ya dhambi za watu kama wale makuhani wakuu wengine. Yeye alitoa dhabihu kwa ajili ya dhambi zao mara moja tu, alipojitoa mwenyewe.
28 And the lawe ordeynede men prestis hauynge sijknesse; but the word of swering, which is after the lawe, ordeynede the sone perfit with outen ende. (aiōn g165)
Kwa kuwa sheria huwaweka makuhani wakuu watu ambao ni dhaifu; lakini lile neno la kiapo, lililokuja baada ya sheria, lilimweka Mwana, ambaye amefanywa kuwa mkamilifu milele. (aiōn g165)
