Ebre 7
1 Paske Melchisédek sila a, wa Salem nan, prèt a Bondye Pi Wo a, ki te rankontre Abraham lè l t ap retounen soti nan masak wa yo e te beni li,
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2 a li menm osi Abraham te bay yon dim nan tout piyaj la, ki te dabò, nan tradwi non li, wa ladwati, e menm osi wa Salèm, ki vle di wa lapè.
to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”,
3 San papa, san manman, san listwa zansèt, ki pa t gen ni kòmansman nan jou li yo, ni lafen nan lavi li, men fèt tankou Fis a Bondye a, li rete yon prèt pou tout tan.
without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
4 Alò, obsève kijan mesye sa a te gran; menm Abraham, patriyach la, te bay li yon dim nan pi bon pati piyaj sila a.
Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
5 Konsa, sila vrèman de fis a Lévi yo, ki te resevwa plas a wo prèt la, te gen yon kòmandman nan lalwa pou fè kolekte yon dim ki soti nan pèp la, sa vle di, ki soti nan frè yo, malgre ke yo se desandan Abraham.
They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the Torah, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
6 Men youn ki pa menm pami zansèt li yo, te kolekte yon dim soti nan Abraham e te beni sila ki te gen tout pwomès yo.
but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
7 Men san kesyon, pi piti a beni pa pi gran an.
But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 Nan ka sila a, lòm mòtèl yo resevwa dim yo, men nan lòt ka a, yon moun resevwa yo de sila ke yo temwaye ke li viv toujou.
Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
9 Epi nou kapab di ke, selon Abraham menm Lévi, ki te resevwa dim yo, te peye dim yo,
We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
10 paske li te toujou nan ren a Papa l lè Melchisédek te rankontre li a.
for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
11 Alò, si pèfeksyon an te nan sistèm prèt Levitik yo (paske se sou baz sa a ke pèp la te resevwa Lalwa), ki bezwen anplis ki te gen pou yon lòt prèt leve nan modèl Melchisédek la, ki pa t dezigne selon modèl Aaron an?
Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 Paske lè sistèm prèt la vin chanje, vin gen nesesite pou yon chanjman lalwa tou.
For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
13 Paske sou sila ke n ap pale la a, li se yon manm nan yon lòt tribi ki pa t gen okenn moun ki te fè sèvis devan lotèl la.
For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
14 Paske li byen klè ke Senyè nou an te desann sòti nan Juda, yon tribi ki pa gen korespondans ak anyen Moïse te pale konsènan zafè prèt yo.
For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15 Epi sa pi klè toujou, si yon lòt prèt leve selon resanblans a Melchisédek,
This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
16 ki pa t devni konsa sou baz a yon lwa lachè, men selon pouvwa a yon lavi ki pa t kab peri.
who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Paske sou yon bò, yo mete sou kote ansyen kòmandman an akoz de feblès ak initilite li.
For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
19 (Paske Lalwa pa t fè anyen pafè), epi sou lòt bò, yo mennen yon pi bon espwa, e atravè li menm nou vin rapwoche de Bondye.
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20 E kòmsi, li pa t fèt yon prèt san yon sèman,
Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
21 paske vrèman prèt lalwa yo te vin prèt san sèman, men Li menm avèk yon sèman, atravè Sila ki te di Li a: “Senyè a gen tan sèmante e Li p ap chanje tèt Li; ‘Ou se yon prèt pou tout tan’.” Selon modèl a Melchisédek la.” (aiōn g165)
(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, “The Lord swore and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’” (aiōn g165)
22 Konbyen anplis ke sa, Jésus gen tan vin garanti a yon pi bon akò.
By so much, Yeshua has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 Lansyen prèt yo, sou yon bò, te egziste an gran nonb, paske lanmò te anpeche yo kontinye fè sèvis yo,
Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
24 men Jésus, de lòt bò, akoz ke Li la pou tout tan, Li kenbe pozisyon prèt Li a pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable. (aiōn g165)
25 Konsa, osi, Li kapab sove pou tout tan sila ki vin rapwoche de Bondye atravè Li menm yo, paske Li toujou vivan pou entèsede pou yo.
Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
26 Paske se te byen an lòd pou nou ta gen yon wo prèt konsa, sen inosan, san tach, separe de pechè yo e egzalte piwo ke syèl yo;
For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 ki pa bezwen chak jou, tankou wo prèt sila yo, ofri sakrifis, premyèman pou pwòp peche pa L e anplis pou peche a pèp la, paske Li te deja fè sa yon fwa pou tout, lè Li te ofri tèt Li a.
who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
28 Paske Lalwa nonmen moun ki fèb kòm wo prèt, men pawòl a sèman, ki te vini aprè Lalwa a, te nonmen yon Fis ki te fèt pafè pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
For the Torah appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son forever who has been perfected. (aiōn g165)
