Ibraniyawa 7
1 Wannan Melkizedek sarkin Salem ne da kuma firist na Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka. Shi ne ya sadu da Ibrahim ya albarkace shi sa’ad da Ibrahim ya dawowa daga cin nasara a bisa sarakuna,
Now this Melchizedek—king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2 Ibrahim kuwa ya ba shi kashi ɗaya bisa goma na kome. Ma’anar sunan Melkizedek ita ce, “sarkin adalci.” Amma da yake Salem yana nufin “salama,” shi kuma “Sarkin salama” ne.
to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all (first, his name means ‘king of righteousness’, and then again ‘king of Salem’, which means ‘king of peace’),
3 Ba shi da mahaifi ko mahaifiya, ba shi da asali, ba shi da farko ko ƙarshe, shi dai kamar Ɗan Allah ne kuma firist ne har abada.
without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but having been made like the Son of God—remains a priest continually.
4 Ku dubi irin girman da Melkizedek mana. Ko kakanmu Ibrahim ma ya ba shi kashi ɗaya bisa goma na ganima!
Now consider how great this personage was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils:
5 Yanzu doka ta umarci zuriyar Lawi waɗanda suka zama firistoci su karɓi kashi ɗaya bisa goma daga wurin mutane, wato,’yan’uwansu, ko da yake’yan’uwansu zuriyar Ibrahim ne.
You see, those of the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have a command, according to the Law, to collect a tithe from the people—that is, from their brothers—even though they too came out of Abraham's body;
6 Ko da yake Melkizedek ba daga zuriyar Lawi ba ne, duk da haka Ibrahim ya ba shi kashi ɗaya bisa goma na abin da yake da shi, Melkizedek kuwa ya sa masa albarka, shi da aka yi wa alkawura.
but he whose descent is not counted among them collected a tithe from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7 Kowa ya sani cewa na gaba shi yake sa wa na baya albarka.
Now without dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 Firistoci ake ba wa kashi ɗaya bisa goma na abin da mutane suke samu. Amma dukan firistoci sukan mutu, sai dai Melkizedek, kuma nassi ya ce yana da rai.
Also, here men who die receive tithes, but there he of whom it is testified that he lives
9 Ana ma iya cewa zuriyar Lawi, mai karɓar kashi ɗaya bisa goma daga mutane, ya ba da kashi ɗaya bisa goma ta wurin Ibrahim,
—in a word, even Levi, who receives tithes, paid the tithe through Abraham,
10 wannan ya kasance haka domin an haifi Lawi daga baya a iyalin Ibrahim wanda ya ba wa Melkizedek kashi ɗaya bisa goma.
because he was still in the reproductive system of his forefather when Melchizedek met him.
11 Ko da yake Dokar Musa ta ce dole firistoci su kasance zuriyar Lawi, waɗannan firistoci ba su iya sa wani yă zama cikakke ba. Saboda akwai bukata wani firist kamar Melkizedek ya zo, a maimakon wani daga iyalin Haruna.
Now then, if there could be perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people had received the Law), what further need would there be for a different kind of priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, rather than being called according to the order of Aaron?
12 Gama in aka canja yadda ake zaɓan firist, dole a canja Dokar ita ma.
(Because when the priesthood is changed there is also a change of law, of necessity.)
13 Mutumin da muke wannan zance a kai, ai, shi na wata kabila ce dabam, wadda ba wani daga kabilar da ya taɓa yin hidima a bagade.
For He of whom these things are said belongs to a different tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
14 Kowa ya san cewa Ubangijinmu ya fito ne daga zuriyar Yahuda ne, kuma Musa bai taɓa ce firistoci za su fito daga wannan kabila ba.
For it is evident that our Lord arose out of Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15 Canjin nan a Dokar Allah ya ƙara fitowa fili da wani firist dabam wanda yake kamar Melkizedek ya bayyana.
And it all becomes clearer still if a different kind of priest, in the likeness of Melchizedek, appears,
16 Ya zama firist ne ba saboda ya cika wata ƙa’ida ta zama zuriyar Lawi ba, sai dai bisa ga ikon ran da ba a iya hallakawa.
who has come, not on the basis of a law about a physical rule but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.
Because He testifies: “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Ta haka aka kawar da ƙa’ida marar ƙarfi da kuma marar amfani
You see, there is an annulling of the former rule because of its weakness and uselessness
19 (gama doka ba tă mai da wani abu cikakke ba), yanzu kuwa bege mafi kyau ya ɗauki matsayinta. Ta haka kuma muka matso kusa da Allah.
(for the Law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20 Ba kuwa da rashin rantsuwa aka yi haka ba. Waɗansu sun zama firistocin ba tare da wata rantsuwa ba,
Further, inasmuch as it was not without the taking of an oath
21 shi wannan ya zama firist ta wurin rantsuwar da Allah ya yi da ya ce masa, “Ubangiji ya rantse, ba kuwa zai canja zuciyarsa ba, ‘Kai firist ne na har abada.’” (aiōn g165)
—they indeed had become priests without an oath-taking, but He[S] with an oath by Him[F] who said to Him[S]: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His[F] mind; you are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek” (aiōn g165)
22 Saboda wannan rantsuwa, Yesu ya zama tabbacin alkawari mafi kyau.
—by so much Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 To, akwai waɗannan firistoci da yawa, da yake mutuwa ta hana su cin gaba da aikin zaman firist;
Also, there have been many priests because death prevented them from continuing in office;
while He[S], because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. (aiōn g165)
25 Saboda haka ya iya ba da ceto gaba ɗaya ga masu zuwa wurin Allah ta wurinsa, gama kullum a raye yake saboda yă yi roƙo dominsu.
Therefore He is able to save absolutely those who come to God through Him, since He always lives and can intercede on their behalf.
26 Irin wannan babban firist ne muke bukata, shi mai tsarki ne, marar aibi, mai tsabta, ba kamar mu masu zunubi ba sam. An ɗaukaka shi fiye da kome a sama.
Now such a High Priest was fitting for us—holy, innocent, undefiled, having been set apart from sinners, and having become higher than the heavens—
27 Ba ya bukata yă yi ta miƙa hadayu kowace rana saboda zunubansa, sa’an nan saboda zunuban mutane kamar sauran firistoci. Ya miƙa hadaya sau ɗaya tak, sa’ad da ya miƙa kansa.
who, unlike those high priests, does not need to offer up daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; because He did this once for all when He offered up Himself.
28 Gama doka takan naɗa babban firist a cikin mutane masu kāsawa; amma rantsuwar da ta zo bayan dokar, ta naɗa Ɗan, wanda aka mai da shi cikakke har abada. (aiōn g165)
The Law appoints as high priest men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, that came after the Law, appointed Son, forever perfect. (aiōn g165)
