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 Melchisedec--king of Salem, Priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter 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 Abraham imparted even a tenth of all; being, indeed, by interpretation, first, king of righteousness, and next, also, king of Salem; which, by interpretation, 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.
was without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginnings of days, nor end of life: but, being made like the Son of God, he 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.
Now, consider how great this priest was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth 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.
For they, indeed, of the sons of Levi, who received the priesthood, have a commandment to tithe people according to the law; that is, their brethren, although they have come forth from 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.
but he, who did not derive his pedigree from their progenitors, tithed Abraham, and blessed the holder of the promises.
7 Moun ki bay benediksyon pi gran pase moun ki resevwa benediksyon. Sa se vre.
Now, beyond all contradiction, the less is blessed by the greater.
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.
Besides, here, indeed, men, who die, take tithes; but there one, of whom it is testified that he lives.
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, as one may say, even Levi, who receives tithes, was tithed in Abraham:
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 his father, when Melchisedec 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.
Moreover, if, indeed, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, (for with it the people received the law, ) what further need was there that another priest should arise, according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?
12 Lè yo chanje travay prèt la, se pou yo chanje lalwa a tou.
Wherefore, the priesthood being changed, there is, of necessity, a change also of 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 to whom these things are said, was of a different tribe, of which 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 very plain that our Lord had sprung from Judah, in relation 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.
Moreover, it is still more plain that, according to the similitude of Melchisedec,
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.
another priest arises, who is made, not according to the law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.
For he testifies, "Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedec." (aiōn g165)
18 Konsa, yo mete ansyen regleman an sou kote, paske li fèb, li pa t' kapab sèvi anyen ankò.
Here then, there is a disannulling of the preceding commandment, 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 the law made no one perfect) --and the superinduction of a better hope, by 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.
Moreover, inasmuch as not without an 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 they, indeed, were make priests without an oath, but he, with an oath, by him who said to him, "The Lord has sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedec,") (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 was Jesus made the surety of a better institution.
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.
Besides, many, indeed, are made priests, because by death they are hindered from continuing:
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)
but he, because he lives for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass from him. (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.
Hence, also, he is for able to save them who come to God through him; always 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.
Now such a High Priest became us; who, being holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made 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.
has not, like the high priests, need, from time to time, to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins, then for those of the people; for this latter he did once, when he offered himself up.
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 constitutes men high priests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, constituted the Son, who is perfected for evermore. (aiōn g165)
