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 Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings,
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.
and blessed him, to whom also Abraham divided the tenth of all his spoils; being in the first place, by interpretation of his name, king of righteousness, and moreover king of Salem, which is 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 recorded, nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, remaineth 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 a man this was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
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.
And those indeed of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment according to the law to take tithes of the people, that is, of their brethren, though they came out of the loins 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 pedigree is not reckoned among them, took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7 Men san kesyon, pi piti a beni pa pi gran an.
Now without all contradiction the inferior is blessed by the superior:
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.
besides, here men that die receive tithes; but there he of whom it is testified that he liveth.
9 Epi nou kapab di ke, selon Abraham menm Lévi, ki te resevwa dim yo, te peye dim yo,
And (as one may say) even Levi, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham:
10 paske li te toujou nan ren a Papa l lè Melchisédek te rankontre li a.
for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec 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 were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law) what farther need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchisedec, and not 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 also of 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.
Now He, of whom these things are said, is of another tribe, of which none ever attended 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 sprang from Judah, as to which tribe Moses spake nothing about the priesthood.
15 Epi sa pi klè toujou, si yon lòt prèt leve selon resanblans a Melchisédek,
And it is yet more abundantly evident, that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth 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 is made not according to the law of a temporary command, but according to the power of an endless life.
For He testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
18 Paske sou yon bò, yo mete sou kote ansyen kòmandman an akoz de feblès ak initilite li.
For there is indeed a disannulling of the preceding command, on account of it's weakness and unprofitableness;
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, but the introducing of a better hope did, by which we draw near to God.
20 E kòmsi, li pa t fèt yon prèt san yon sèman,
Moreover inasmuch as He was not made priest without 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 are become priests without the solemnity of an oath; but He with an oath, by Him who said unto Him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:") (aiōn g165)
22 Konbyen anplis ke sa, Jésus gen tan vin garanti a yon pi bon akò.
by so much is Jesus become the surety 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,
And they were many priests, because they were by death hindered from continuing in their office;
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 abideth for ever, hath a priesthood that passeth not to any other: (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.
wherefore also He is able to save to the uttermost, those that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth 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 an high-priest was meet for us, who was holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and 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 hath no need, as the Levitical high-priests had, daily to offer sacrifices first for his own sins, and then for those of the people: for this He did once for all, in offering 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 law appointeth men high-priests, who have infirmity; but the oath, recorded since the law, appointeth the Son to be priest for ever, being fully perfected for it. (aiōn g165)
