Ibraawe 7
1 Melkkexedeqey, Saaleme Kawoy, Ubbaafe Bolla Xoossaa kahine. He Melkkexedeqey Abrahamey kawota oli xoonidi simmishin iyara gayttidi iya anjjis.
For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,
2 Abrahamey ba di77idabaa ubbaafe iyaw asraata kessidi immis. Melkkexedeqe sunthay koyro “Xillotethaa kawuwa”, nam77antho, “Saaleme kawo” birshshethaykka “Sarotethaa kawuwa” guussu.
And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;
3 Melkkexedeqes aaya woykko aawu woykko zare paydoy baawa. Iya yeletethaas doomethi woykko iya de7uwas wurssethi baawa, shin Xoossaa Na7a daanidi merinaw kahine gidis.
Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.
4 Melkkexedeqey ay mela giteekko be7ite. Nu aawata mayzay, Abrahamey, ba de7idabaappe iyaw asraata immis.
Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.
5 Kahine gidiya Leewe zarey Isra7eele asappe, hessika Abrahaame zerethi gidida bantta ishatappe asraata ekkana mela higgey kiittees.
And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham.
6 Melkkexedeqey Leewe zare gidonna ixxikokka Abrahameppe asraata ekkis; ufayssa qaali de7iya Abrahaame anjjis.
But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.
7 Guuthay gitan anjjetteyssi palanthenna.
But there is no doubt that the less gets his blessing from the greater.
8 Issi baggara, asraata ekkeyssati hayqqiya asata, shin hara baggara asraata ekkeyssi de7on de7ees yaagidi odettidayssa.
Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.
9 Hiza, asraata ekkiya Leewey, Abrahaame baggara asraata immis gaanaw dandda7ettees.
And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;
10 Ays giikko, Melkkexedeqey Abrahamera gayttiya wode Leewey yelettiboonnabaa gidikkoka, ba mayzaa Abrahaame gulbbatan de7ees.
Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.
11 Isra7eele asaas higgey Leewe kahinetethaa baggara imettis. Ha Leewe kahinetethay polo gididabaa gidiyakko Aaronayssa mela gidonnashin, Melkkexedeqe mela hara kahine shuumanaw ays koshshidee?
Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?
12 Hiza, kahineti laamettiya wode higgeykka qassi laamettanaw bessees.
Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.
13 Ha nu iyabaa odiya uray hara zare; iya sheeshaappe oonikka yarshsho bessan kahinetethan oothibeenna.
For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.
14 Nu Goday Yihuda sheeshaappe yidayssi erettidayssa. Gidoshin, Musey kahintebaa odishe Yihuda zariyaba aybaakka odibeenna.
Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.
15 Melkkexedeqe mela hara kahiney yidabaa gidiyakko ha nu odiyabay aadhdhi qonccana.
And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,
16 I kahine gididay dhayonna de7uwa wolqqaanappe attin iya mayzaa higgeninne wogan gidenna.
That is to say, not made by a law based on the flesh, but by the power of a life without end:
17 Geeshsha Maxaafay, “Melkkexedeqe kahinetethaa mela, neeni merinaw kahine” yaagidi markkattees. (aiōn g165)
For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
18 Koyro higgey daaburanchchonne maaddonabaa gidiya gisho shaarettis.
So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.
19 Muse higgey aybinkka polo oothanaw dandda7ibeenna. Shin nuuni iya baggara Xoossaakko shiiqiya ubbaafe aadhdhiya ufayssa qaalay nuus imettis.
(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.
20 Kiristtoosi kahine gidiya wode Xoossay caaqqis, shin harati kahine gidida wode hessa mela caaqoy baawa.
And as this is not without the taking of an oath
21 Shin Yesuusi caaqon kahine gidis. Xoossay yaagidi caaqqis; “Goday caaqqis; I ba qofaa laammenna; ‘Neeni merinaa kahine’” yaagis. (aiōn g165)
(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever); (aiōn g165)
22 Ha caaquwa gaason Yesuusi nuus ubbaafe aadhdhiya qaala caaquwas waase gidis.
By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.
23 Kahinetethan oothonna mela hayqoy entta diggida gisho koyro kahineta tayboy daro.
And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;
But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging. (aiōn g165)
25 Hessa gisho, I ubba wode entta gisho gaannatanaw merinaw de7iya gisho Xoossaakko iya baggara yeyssata polo ashshanaw dandda7ees.
So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.
26 Hiza, nuus koshshiyabaa immiya, geeshshay, boreynne tuni baynnayssi, nagaranchchotappe shaakettidaysinne saluwappe aadhdhidi dhoqqida kahine halaqay nuus koshshees.
It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:
27 I hankko kahine halaqata mela koyro ba nagara gisho, kaallidi asaa nagaraa gisho gallas gallas yarshsho yarshshanaw koshshenna. I bana yarshshida wode zaarethonna ogen issi toho bana yarshshis.
Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.
28 Muse higgey daaburanchcho asaa kahine halaqa oothidi shuumees. Shin higgiyafe guye yida caaqo qaalay merinaw polo gidida Xoossaa Na7aa shuumis. (aiōn g165)
The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete. (aiōn g165)
