Ebre 7
1 Mèlkisedèk sa a, se te wa peyi Salèm, yon prèt ki t'ap sèvi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Lè Abraram t'ap tounen lakay li, apre li te fin kraze kèk wa nan yon batay, Mèlkisedèk vin kontre l', li ba l' benediksyon.
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham turning back from the striking of the kings, and blessed him,
2 Lè sa a, Abraram separe ba li yon dizyèm nan tou sa li te pran. Non Mèlkisedèk la gen de sans. Nan yon premye sans, li vle di Wa ki bay jistis la. Men, akòz li te wa peyi Salèm, li gen yon dezyèm sans. Li vle di tou Wa ki bay kè poze a.
to whom also Abraham divided a tenth of all (first, indeed, being interpreted, “King of righteousness,” and then also, “King of Salem,” which is, King of Peace),
3 Mèlkisedèk sa a, nou pa konn ni papa l', ni manman l', ni okenn nan zansèt li yo. Yo pa di ki bò l' te fèt, ni ki bò l' mouri. Li tankou Pitit Bondye a, li rete prèt pou tout tan.
without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and having been like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.
4 Nou tou wè ki kalite grannèg nonm sa a te ye, pou granpapa nou, Abraram, te ba li yon dizyèm nan tou sa l' te pran nan batay la.
And see how great this one [is], to whom Abraham the patriarch also gave a tenth out of the best of the spoils,
5 Dapre lalwa Moyiz, se nan ras Levi ase yo chwazi moun ki pou sèvi prèt. Prèt sa yo resevwa lòd pou yo mande pèp la yon dizyèm sou tout bagay, sa vle di, yo mande moun ki sitwayen menm peyi ak yo pou bay yon dizyèm nan tou sa yo genyen. Men, yo tout se pitit pitit Abraram yo ye.
and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, have a command to take tithes from the people according to the Law, that is, their brothers, even though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham;
6 Mèlkisedèk menm pa t' moun ras Levi. Men malgre sa, Abraram te ba li yon dizyèm nan tou sa li te pran. Sa ki pi rèd ankò, Mèlkisedèk bay moun ki te resevwa pwomès Bondye a benediksyon.
and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and he has blessed him having the promises,
7 Moun ki bay benediksyon pi gran pase moun ki resevwa benediksyon. Sa se vre.
and apart from all controversy, the less is blessed by the better—
8 Nan ka prèt ras Levi yo, ofrann yon dizyèm lan se pou moun ki gen pou mouri. Men, nan ka Mèlkisedèk la, ladim lan se pou yon moun ki vivan, jan sa ekri nan Liv la.
and here, indeed, men who die receive tithes, and there [he] who is testified to that he was living,
9 Gen plis ankò: nou ka di lè Abraram te bay ofrann dizyèm lan, Levi te peye l' tou, li menm Levi ki gen pitit pitit li yo k'ap resevwa ofrann dizyèm lan koulye a.
and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, has paid tithes,
10 Paske, nan yon sans, Levi ki pa t' ankò fèt te nan ren granpapa l', Abraram, lè Mèlkisedèk te vin kontre l' la.
for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchizedek met him.
11 Se sou baz travay prèt ras Levi yo Bondye te bay pèp Izrayèl la lalwa Moyiz la. Si travay prèt ras Levi yo te yon travay ki te bon nèt, pa ta gen nesesite menm pou yon lòt prèt ki menm jan ak Mèlkisedèk men ki pa menm jan ak Arawon ta vini.
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 Melchizedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?
12 Lè yo chanje travay prèt la, se pou yo chanje lalwa a tou.
For the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, a change comes of the Law,
13 Men, nan tout pawòl sa yo, se sou Seyè a y'ap pale. Men li menm, li soti nan yon lòt branch fanmi, ki pa janm gen pesonn ladan l' ki te konn fè sèvis prèt yo devan lòtèl la.
for He of whom these things are said in another tribe has had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar,
14 Sa se bagay tout moun konnen, Jezi te fèt nan branch fanmi Jida. Moyiz pa t' janm bay non sa a lè li t'ap pale sou prèt yo.
for [it is] evident that out of Judah has arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15 Bon, men yon lòt pwen k'ap eklèsi keksyon an plis toujou. Nou wè se yon lòt prèt ki tankou Mèlkisedèk ki vin la a.
And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
16 Yo pa t' fè l' prèt dapre regleman lèzòm: men, se akòz pouvwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an kifè yo fè l' prèt.
who did not come according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,
for He testifies, “You [are] a priest—throughout the age, according to the order of Melchizedek”; (aiōn g165)
18 Konsa, yo mete ansyen regleman an sou kote, paske li fèb, li pa t' kapab sèvi anyen ankò.
for an annulling indeed comes of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness
19 Lalwa Moyiz la pa t' kapab rann anyen bon nèt sou tout pwen. Men, koulye a, yo ban nou yon pi bèl espwa, kifè nou ka pwoche bò kot Bondye.
(for nothing did the Law perfect), and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20 Gen yon lòt bagay ankò: Se sèman Bondye te fè a. Bondye te fè lòt yo prèt san l' pa t' fè sèman.
And inasmuch as [it is] not apart from oath
21 Men pou Jezi, Bondye te fè sèman lè li t'ap mete l' prèt, paske li te di: Bondye fè sèman. L'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li: Ou prèt pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
(for those indeed apart from oath have become priests, and He [became priest] with an oath through Him who is saying to Him, “The LORD swore, and will not regret, You [are] a priest throughout the age, according to the order of Melchizedek”), (aiōn g165)
22 Konsa, avèk Jezi sa ban nou yon garanti, nou gen yon lòt kontra ak Bondye ki pi bon lontan pase premye a.
by so much also has Jesus become guarantee of a better covenant,
23 Gen yon lòt diferans ankò: Te gen anpil prèt nan lòt kategori a, paske se tout tan yo t'ap mouri. Yon sèl pa t' ka kenbe travay la nèt ale.
and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;
24 Men, Jezi li menm toujou vivan, li pa janm bezwen renmèt travay prèt la bay okenn lòt moun pou fè l' nan plas li. (aiōn g165)
and He, because of His remaining throughout the age, has the inviolable priesthood, (aiōn g165)
25 Se poutèt sa, depi koulye a, epi pou tout tan, li ka delivre tout moun, l'ap fè yo pwoche bò kot Bondye paske li menm li toujou vivan, l'ap lapriyè Bondye pou yo.
from where also He is able to save to the very end, those coming through Him to God—ever living to make intercession for them.
26 Konsa, Jezi se granprèt nou te bezwen an. Li bon nèt, li pa janm fè okenn bagay ki mal, ni okenn peche. Yo mete l' apa, yo wete l' nan mitan moun k'ap fè peche yo. Bondye leve l', li mete l' pi wo pase syèl la.
For also such a Chief Priest was fitting for us—holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and having become higher than the heavens,
27 Li pa tankou lòt granprèt yo. Li pa bezwen ap ofri chak jou yon bann bèt pou yo touye pou peche pa l' yo anvan, epi pou peche pèp la apre sa. Li pa nan sa li menm. Li fè yon sèl ofrann fini ak sa lè li te ofri tèt li a.
who has no daily necessity, as the chief priests, to first offer up sacrifice for His own sins, then for those of the people; for this He did once, having offered up Himself;
28 Dapre lalwa Moyiz la, se moun ki poko bon nèt yo te mete sèvi granprèt. Men, dapre pawòl sèman Bondye a, pawòl ki vin lontan apre lalwa a, moun Bondye mete granprèt la, se Pitit li a ki te vin bon nèt sou tout pwen pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
for the Law appoints men [as] chief priests, having weakness, but the word of the oath that [is] after the Law [appoints] the Son having been perfected throughout the age. (aiōn g165)
