Hebera 7
1 A O ua Melekisedeka la hoi, ke alii o Salema, he kahuna no ke Akua kiekie loa, oia hoi ka i halawai pu me Aberahama i kona hoi ana mai mai ka luku ana'ku i na'lii, a hoomaikai iho la ia ia.
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 Ia ia hoi i haawi aku ai o Aberahama i ka hapaumi o na mea a pau: ma ka unuhi olelo ana, o kona inoa mua ke Alii o ka pono, alaila ke Alii o Salema ia, o ke ano oia, ke Alii e maluhia ai.
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 Aole ona makuakane, aohe makuwahine, aole kuauhau, aohe kumu o kona mau la, aole oki kona ola ana; aka, ua hoohalikeia me ke Keiki a ke Akua, e noho kahuua mau ana.
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 Ano la hoi, e hoomanao i ke ano kiekie o ua kanaka la, ia ia i haawi aku ai o Aberahama ka makualii i ka hapaumi o ka waiwai pio.
Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
5 A o na mamo a Levi, ka poe i lawe i ka oihana a ke kahuna, ua kauohaia mai lakou ma ke kanawai e lawe i ka hapaumi o ka waiwai o kanaka, o ko lakou poe hoahanau, a ua hele mai no nae lakou mai loko mai o ko Aberahama puhaka:
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 law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
6 Aka, o ka mea i kuauhau ole ia, mai laila mai, oia ka i lawe i ka hapaumi o ko Aberahama waiwai, a ua hoomaikai aku hoi i ka mea nona na olelo mua.
but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
7 A he mea hoopaapaa ole ia keia, ua hoomaikaiia'ku ka mea i emi iho e ka mea i oi aku.
But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 Maanei hoi, ua loaa ka hapaumi o ka waiwai i kanaka e make ana; aka, malaila i ka mea i oleloia mai ai, e ola ana ia.
Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
9 Oia hoi, ina e hiki ia'u ke olelo penei, o Levi hoi, o ka mea i loaa ia ia ka hapaumi o ka waiwai, oia kekahi i haawi aku i ka hapaumi o ka waiwai iloko o Aberahama.
We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
10 No ka mea, maloko no oia o ka puhaka o kona kupuna i ka wa i halawai ai o Melekisedeka me ia.
for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
11 A, ina i loaa ka mea e pono ai ma ka oihana kahuna a Levi, (ua haawi pu ia mai ke kanawai i kanaka me ia, ) heaha la anei hoi ko laila hemahema e ku hou ai kekahi kahuna e mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka, aole hoi i kapaia mamuli o ke ano o Aarona?
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 Aka, i kahuliia ka oihana kahuna, he pono no hoi e kahuliia ke kanawai.
For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
13 No ka mea, o ka mea nona keia mau mea i oleloia ai, no ka ohana e no ia, aole kekahi o lakou i malama ma ke kuahu.
For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
14 Ua akaka no ka puka ana o ka Haku, mai loko mai o Iuda, ka ohana i olelo ole ia'i no ka oihana kahuna e Mose.
For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15 A ua akaka loa ae kela mea, i ke kupu ana o kekahi kahuna e, e like me Melekisedeka,
This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
16 I hooliloia pela, aole make kanawai o ko ke kino, aka, ma ka mana o ke ola e mau loa ana.
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 Ua waikoia'o no kela kanawai mua, no kona nawaliwali, a me kona pono ole.
For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
19 Aole ma ke kanawai, i pono loa ai kekahi mea, aka, ma ka hookomo ana i ka manaolana maikai ae, ka mea e kookokoke aka ai kakou i ke Akua.
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20 A no ka mea hoi, aole me ka hoohiki ole ana,
Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
21 (No ka mea, ua hooliloia'e kela poe i kahuna, me ka hoohiki ole, aka, oia nei me ka hoohiki ana e ka mea nana i olelo ia ia, Ua hoohiki ka Haku, aole hoi ia e lole hou ae, He kahuna mau loa oe mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka; ) (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 Ma ia mea hoi i lilo ai o Iesu i panai no ka berita maikai ae.
By so much, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 A, o kela poe kahuna he lehulehu lakou, no ka mea, aole i haawiia mai e mau lakou, no ka make;
Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable. (aiōn g165)
25 No ia mea, e hiki mau ai ia ia ke hoola i ka poe i hele mai i ke Akua ma ona la, no kona ola mau loa ana e uwao ana no lakou.
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 Oia ke ano o ke kahuna e pono ai kakou, ka mea hemolele, hewa ole, maemae wale, kaawale hoi i na lawehala, a i hookiekieia'e hoi maluna o ua lani;
For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Aole hoi i ku ia ia ke kaumaha ana i ka mohai i kela la i keia la, e like me ua mau kahuna nui la, no ko lakou mau hewa ponoi mamua, alaila no ko na kanaka hewa; no ka mea, hookahi wale no kana hana ana ia mea, i kona wa i kaumaha ai ia ia iho.
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 Na ke kanawai hoi i hoolilo i kanakanawaliwali i kahuna nui; aka, na ka olelo o ka hoohiki ana, ka mea mahope mai o ke kanawai, i hoolilo i ke Keiki, ka mea i hoohemolele mau loa ia'ku. (aiōn g165)
For the law 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)
