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,
It was 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.
It was to him that Abraham gave a tenth of everything. His name “Melchizedek” means “king of righteousness.” His other title is “king of Salem,” that is, “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.
He is without father, without mother, without ancestors, with neither beginning of days nor end of life. Instead, he resembles the Son of God, because he remains a priest forever.
4 Ku dubi irin girman da Melkizedek mana. Ko kakanmu Ibrahim ma ya ba shi kashi ɗaya bisa goma na ganima!
See how great this man was to whom the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the things that he had taken in battle.
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.
The sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have a command from the law to collect tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, even though they, too, have come from 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 Melchizedek, whose descent was not traced from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him, the one who had the promises.
7 Kowa ya sani cewa na gaba shi yake sa wa na baya albarka.
There is no denying that the lesser person is blessed by the greater person.
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.
In this case, mortal men receive tithes, but in that case it is testified that he lives on.
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,
And, in a manner of speaking, Levi, who received tithes, also paid tithes 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 Levi was in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
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 if perfection were possible through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the manner of Melchizedek, and not be considered to be after the manner of Aaron?
12 Gama in aka canja yadda ake zaɓan firist, dole a canja Dokar ita ma.
For when the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed.
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 the one about whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever served 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.
Now clearly, it is from Judah that our Lord was born, a tribe that Moses never mentioned concerning priests.
15 Canjin nan a Dokar Allah ya ƙara fitowa fili da wani firist dabam wanda yake kamar Melkizedek ya bayyana.
What we say is clearer yet if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek.
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.
It was not based on the law of fleshly descent that he became a priest, but instead was based on the power of an everlasting life.
For scripture witnesses about him: “You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Ta haka aka kawar da ƙa’ida marar ƙarfi da kuma marar amfani
For the former regulation is set aside because it is weak and useless,
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 better hope is introduced, through which we come near to God.
20 Ba kuwa da rashin rantsuwa aka yi haka ba. Waɗansu sun zama firistocin ba tare da wata rantsuwa ba,
And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any 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)
but he became a priest when God said to him, “The Lord has sworn and he will not change his mind: 'You are a priest forever.'” (aiōn g165)
22 Saboda wannan rantsuwa, Yesu ya zama tabbacin alkawari mafi kyau.
By this also Jesus has given 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;
The former priests were many in number, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
But because Jesus continues to live forever, he has a permanent 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 also able to save completely those who approach God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
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.
For such a high priest is suitable for us. He is sinless, blameless, pure, separated from sinners, and has 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.
He does not need, unlike the high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He did this once for all, when he offered 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)
For the law appoints as high priests men who have weaknesses. But the word of the oath, which came after the law, appointed a Son, who has been made perfect forever. (aiōn g165)
