Hebrews 7
1 For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him,
Ko tenei Merekihereke hoki, kingi o harema, tohunga o te Atua o te Runga Rawa, i tutaki nei ki a Aperahama i a ia e hoki ana i te patunga i nga kingi, i manaaki nei i a ia,
2 to whom also a tenth of all did Abraham divide, (first, indeed, being interpreted, 'King of righteousness,' and then also, King of Salem, which is, King of Peace, )
A hoatu ana e Aperahama ki a ia nga whakatekau o nga mea katoa, ko te whakamaoritanga o tona ingoa i te tuatahi ko te Kingi o te tika, i to muri hoki ko te Kingi o Harema, ara ko te Kingi o te rangimarie:
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually.
He mea matuakore, whaeakore, kahore nei ona whakapapa tupuna, kahore he timatanga o ona ra, kahore he mutunga o tona ora; he tangata kua whakaritea ki te Tama a te Atua, mau tonu ana ia hei tohunga.
4 And see how great this one [is], to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils,
Na, whakaaroa te nui o tenei tangata i hoatu nei ki a ia e te tupuna nui, e Aperahama, nga whakatekau o nga taonga parakete.
5 and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, a command have to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham;
Ko nga tama hoki a Riwai, ara nga mea kua riro nei i a ratou te mahi tohunga, he ture kei a ratou kia tangohia ta te ture i whakarite ai, nga whakatekau a te iwi, he mea na o ratou teina i puta mai nei ano i te hope o Aperahama:
6 and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed,
Ko tenei tangata ia, ehara nei i te mea no to ratou kawai, riro ana i a ia nga whakatekau a Aperahama, a manaakitia ana e ia te tangata i a ia nei nga kupu whakaari.
7 and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed —
E kore rawa ia tenei e taea te whakateka, ara ko te mea iti e manaakitia ana e te mea nui.
8 and here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there [he], who is testified to that he was living,
I konei e riro ana nga whakatekau i nga tangata, he matemate nei; i reira ia, i tera e kiia nei kei te ora ia.
9 and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath paid tithes,
Me penei ano te ki, ko Riwai e tango whakatekau nei, hoatu ana e ia he whakatekau i ta Aperahama meatanga ra.
10 for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him.
I roto tonu hoki ia i te hope o tona papa i te tutakitanga o Merekihereke ki a ia.
11 If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood — for the people under it had received law — what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?
Na, ki te mea na ta te Riwai mahi tohunga i tino rite ai, a i na runga hoki i tera te rironga o te ture i te iwi, he aha atu te mea e whakatika ake ai tetahi atu tohunga i runga i to Merekihereke ritenga; te kiia ai i runga i to Arona ritenga?
12 for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change doth come,
Ka whakaputaia ketia nei hoki te mahi tohunga, ina kua puta ke ano hoki te ture.
13 for he of whom these things are said in another tribe hath had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar,
Ko te tangata hoki mona enei korero, he hapu ke tona, kahore nei tetahi o ratou i whakatata ki te aata.
14 for [it is] evident that out of Judah hath arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
He mea takoto marama hoki tenei, i puta ake to tatou Ariki i roto i a Hura: hore rawa he kupu a Mohi mo te mahi tohunga a tera iwi.
15 And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest,
A ka tino marama rawa ta matou i korero ai, ina whakatika ake tetahi atu tohunga i te ritenga o Merekihereke;
16 who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,
Ko tona whakatohungatanga nei hoki ehara i te mea no runga i te ture o nga tikanga o te kikokiko, engari no runga i te kaha o te ora e kore e mutu.
17 for He doth testify — 'Thou [art] a priest — to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;' (aiōn g165)
Kua whakaaturia mai nei hoki e ia, Hei tohunga koe ake ake i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke. (aiōn g165)
18 for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,
Kua whakakahoretia hoki te ture i whakatakotoria i mua, no te mea kahore ona kaha, kahore ona hua,
19 (for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God.
Kahore hoki he mea i tino tika i te ture; kua mauria mai ano he mea e hira ake ai te tumanako, na reira nei tatou ka whakatata atu ki te Atua.
20 And inasmuch as [it is] not apart from oath, (for those indeed apart from oath are become priests,
Na kihai nei i mahue te oati:
21 and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, 'The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest — to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;') (aiōn g165)
Ko era hoki kahore he oati i to ratou whakatohungatanga; he oati ia i to tenei, na tera i ki mai ra ki a ia, Kua oati te Ariki, a e kore e puta ke tona whakaaro, hei tohunga koe ake ake i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke: (aiōn g165)
22 by so much of a better covenant hath Jesus become surety,
Koia i nui ke ai te pai o te kawenata ko Ihu nei tona kaiwhakamau.
23 and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;
He tokomaha hoki ratou i whakatohungatia, ta te mea kihai i tukua e te mate kia tu tonu;
Ko tenei ia, e mau tonu ana ake ake, e kore ano e puta ke tana mahi tohunga. (aiōn g165)
25 whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God — ever living to make intercession for them.
Na, e taea ano e ia te tino whakaora te hunga e na runga atu ana i a ia ki te Atua; e ora tonu ana hoki ia hei inoi mo ratou.
26 For such a chief priest did become us — kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,
He pai rawa hoki tenei tu tohunga nui mo tatou, te tapu, te kinokore, te pokekore, he mea motu ke i te hunga hara, kua whakanekehia ake ano hoki ki runga ake i nga rangi;
27 who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself;
Kahore ana mea e pera ai ia me nga tohunga nui, e whakaeke patunga tapu ai ia i ia ra, mo ona hara ake i te tuatahi, muri iho mo o te iwi; kotahi tonu hoki tana meatanga i tenei, i tana whakaekenga atu i a ia ake.
28 for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that [is] after the law [appointeth] the Son — to the age having been perfected. (aiōn g165)
Ko nga tohunga nui hoki e whakaturia ana e te ture, he tangata e pehia ana e te ngoikore; ko ta te kupu ia o te oati, i muri nei i te ture, ko te Tama, kua oti nei te mea kia tino tika ake ake. (aiōn g165)
