Hivru 7

1 Hagi ama ana Melkisedeki'a Salemi vahe'mokizmi kini ne' mani'neno, marerisa Anumzamofo pristi ne' manine. Hagi Abrahamuma kini vahe'ma ha'ma huno zamagatereteno, nevigeno'a karanka Melkisedeki'a tutagiha hunteno asomura huntene

Now this Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. When Abraham was returning from the slaughter of the kings, Melchizedek met him and blessed him,

2 Higeno Abrahamu'a maka'zama erino e'nefintira, nazantrema'a kevu erinteno, refako huno mago kevua Melkisedekina ami'ne. Hagi Melkisedeki'e agimofo agu'agesamo'a, fatgo avu'avazamofo kini nere hu'ne. Nehuno Salemi kini nerema hu'nea agu'agesamo'a, rimpa fruzamofo kini nere hu'ne.

and Abraham gave him a tenth of all the spoils. His name means “king of righteousness,” but he is also “king of Salem,” which means, “king of peace.”

3 Nerera'ene nefakea omanina'e, agigo azankomo'a omanigeno, kasente kna'a omanegeno, fri'nea agenke'a omanegeno, Anumzamofo mofavregna huno pristi ne' mani vava hu'ne.

He is without father, without mother, and without genealogy; there is no beginning to his days or end to his life. But resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.

4 Melkisedeki'a ra ne' mani'neanki antahiho. Abrahamu'a tagigomo agranena ra ne' mani'neanagi, hapintima eri'noma e'nea zantamipintira nazantrema'a kevu refko huteno, anampintira knare'zantfama hu'nea kevua magora Melkisedekina ami'ne.

Consider how great this man must be, that even Abraham the patriarch gave him a tenth of the spoils.

5 Mosese kasegemo'a maka'zama antenesafintira 10ni'a nazantrema'a kevu refko hu'nesageno, mago kevua pristi vahe'mo'za erigahaze huno krente'ne. E'i anazana zamagra'a nagapinti'ene erigahaze hu'ne. Na'ankure zamagranena Abrahamu naga mani'naze.

Now the law commands the sons of Levi who receive the priestly office to collect tithes from the people, that is, their brothers, even though their brothers are also descended from Abraham.

6 Hianagi Melkisedeki'a Livae nagapintira omani'neanagi Abrahamu'ma nazantrema'a kevu refko hutenefintira, anampintira mago knare'zantfama hu'nea kevua eri'ne. Hagi Melkisedekia Abrahamuna asomura hunte'ne, ko'ma rama'azankuma huvempama hunte'nea nere.

But Melchizedek, who was not among the descendants of Levi, received a tithe from Abraham. He also blessed Abraham, who had received the promises.

7 Hianagi mago kea huontegosune, asomuma nemia ne'mo'a asomu eneria nera agaterene.

It is beyond all dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.

8 Pristi vahe'ma nazantrema'a kevu refko hunteneta mago kevuma refakoma huta nezamuna vahe'mo'za fri vagare'naze. Melkisedekia zamagatereno ra vahe mani'ne, na'ankure agrikura huama hu'za manino vugahie huno hu'ne.

In the one case, tithes are received by mortal men, but in the other case, they are received by one who is attested to be living.

9 Livae naga'mo'za nazantrema'a kevu refko hunte'nafinti mago kevua eneriza vahe'mo'za ko Abrahamupi Melkisedekina zamagra nazantrema'a kevu refko huntenafintira mago kevua ami'naze.

One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham.

10 Na'ankure Melkisedekima Abrahamuma tutagihama hunteno, nazantrema'a kevu refko huno mago kevuma ami'neana, agripintira Livae vahe'mo'za zahufa forera osu'nazegeno'e.

For Levi was still in the loins of his ancestor Abraham when Melchizedek met him.

11 Hagi Mosese kasegemo'a huno, Livae nagapintike pristi vahera manigahie huno hige'za mani'nazanagi, ana pristi vahe'mo'za mago vahera zamazeri knarera osu'nazagu mago Melkisedekikna pristi ne'ma fore'ma haniana, Aron nagapinti rompage, ru nagapinti fore'ma hanigeno knarera hugahie hu'ne.

Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under this priesthood the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek rather than the order of Aaron?

12 Ana hu'negu pristi eri'zamoma zahema nehanageno'a, tra ke mo'enena anahukna huno zahe hugahie.

For when the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed.

13 Na'ankure menima keagama nehuna pristi nera, kre sramanavu itare, Kresramana nevaza pristi vahepinti rompage ru nagapinti fore hugahie.

Now he of whom these things are spoken belongs to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.

14 Hagi nagrama nehuana Rantimo'a Jiu nagapinti e'ne. Hagi Mosese'a ana nagapinti pristi vahera fore hugahie huno osu'nea nagapinti fore hu'ne.

For it is clear that our Lord arose from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priesthood.

15 Ama ana miko zantamimo'a eriama huno, magora Melkisedeki kna pristi ne' menina efore nehie hu'ne.

Now this point becomes even more clear when there arises another priest like Melchizedek,

16 Jisasi'ma pristi ne'ma mani'nena tagehe'mo'zama nehazaza huno Livae nagapinti pristi nera omani'neanki, manivava asimumofo hankave pristi ne' mani'ne.

one who has become a priest, not through a legal requirement concerning physical descent, but through the power of an endless life.

17 Avontafemo'a agrikura huno, Melkisedeki kna hunka manivava pristi nere hu'ne, (Sam-Zga 110:4) (aiōn g165)

For God testifies, “Yoʋ are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)

18 Ama ana kanteti eri'zama'ama omane hankave'a omane korapa kasegea retufeganti atrene.

The former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and ineffectiveness

19 Na'ankure kasegemo'a ana mikozana eriknarera nosie. Hianagi knare'zama fore hugahiema huta amuhama hunemunazamo noma'a e'nerino Anumzamofonte tavreno urava'o nehie.

(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

20 Hagi Anumzamo'a Agra'a huvempa huno, Kraisi Agrake pristi nera mika zupa manigahie hu'ne. Hianagi mago'a pristi vahe'ma fore'ma hazageno'a, e'inahukna huvempa kea Anumzamo'a huozmante'ne.

And none of this happened without an oath. Aaron's descendants become priests without an oath,

21 Huvempa kema hu'neana, Nagra Ramo'na, huvempa ke hugantoankina antahintahini'a zahera osugahue. Kagra manivava pristi ne' manigahane hu'ne. (aiōn g165)

but Jesus was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘Yoʋ are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.’” (aiōn g165)

22 Na'ankure Anumzamo huvempama hunte'negu, Jisasi'a knare hagerafi huvempa kema tamigahue hu'nea Ne' mani'ne.

Accordingly, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.

23 Rama'a vahe'mo'za pristi eri'zana eri'naze, na'ankure zamagra nefrizageno, rumo'za eri'zazmia eritere hu'naze.

Now the former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office;

24 Hianagi Jisasi'a manivava pristi ne' mani'nigeno, Agri pristi eri'zamo'a mevava hugahie. (aiōn g165)

but because Jesus continues forever, he has a permanent priesthood. (aiōn g165)

25 E'ina hu'negu Agrite'ma etenoma, Anumzamofontema esimofona magoke zupa agu'vazinkeno mani vava hugahie. Na'ankure Agra manivava hu'neno, Anumzamofontega nunamu huno zamaza nehie.

Therefore he is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

26 E'inahukna ugagota pristi ne'mo tazeri knarera hugahie. Na'ankure Agra ruotge huno kumi'a omanegeno kumi'mo magore huno azeri haviza osu'ne. Menina kumi vahepinti azeri ruotge higeno, monafinka ragi erino mani'ne.

It was fitting for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.

27 Agra ruga'a pristi vahe'mo'zama nehazaza huno mika kna kresrama vuvava nosie. Zamagra kumikura kresramana vute'za, vahe'mokizmi kumikura kresramana nevazanagi, Jisasi'a magoke zupa Agra avufga eme aguza runo, maka vahe kumikura keka zafarera fri'ne.

He has no need, like the other high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, 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'ankure kasegemo'a hanavezami omane ugagota pristi vahe huhamprizmante. Hianagi Anumzamo'a huvempa hunte'nea kemo'a kasegemofo amefi'a e'neana, Agri'a Ne'mofavremo mikazana emeri knare'zantfa nehuno manivava hugahie. (aiōn g165)

For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son, who has been made perfect forever. (aiōn g165)
