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

For this man, Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of the Most High God--he who when Abraham was returning after defeating the kings met him and pronounced a blessing on 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.

to whom also Abraham presented a tenth part of all--being first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and secondly King of Salem, that is, 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.

with no father or mother, and no record of ancestry: having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made a type of the Son of God--this man Melchizedek remains a priest for ever.

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.

Now think how great this priest-king must have been to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth part of the best of the spoil.

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.

And those of the descendants of Levi who receive the priesthood are authorized by the Law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these have sprung 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, in this instance, one who does not trace his origin from them takes tithes from Abraham, and pronounces a blessing on him to whom the promises belong.

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

And beyond all dispute it is always the inferior who 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.

Moreover here frail mortal men receive tithes: there one receives them about whom there is evidence that he is alive.

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.

And Levi too--if I may so speak--pays 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 yet in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met Abraham.

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 the crowning blessing was attainable by means of the Levitical priesthood--for as resting on this foundation the people received the Law, to which they are still subject-- what further need was there for a Priest of a different kind to be raised up belonging to the order of Melchizedek instead of being said to belong to 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 changes, a change of Law also of necessity takes place.

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

He, however, to whom that prophecy refers is associated with a different tribe, not one member of which has anything to do with 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 undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.

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

And this is still more abundantly clear when we read that it is as belonging to the order of Melchizedek that a priest of a different kind is to arise,

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.

and hold His office not in obedience to any temporary Law, but by virtue of an indestructible Life.

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

For the words are in evidence, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)

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

On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code because it was weak and ineffective--

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 brought no perfect blessing--but on the other hand we have the bringing in of a new and better hope by means of 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 since it was not without an oath being taken--

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

for these men hold office without any oath having been taken, but He holds it attested by an oath from Him who said to Him, "The Lord has sworn and will not recall His words, Thou art a Priest for ever" -- (aiōn g165)

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

so much the more also is the Covenant of which Jesus has become the guarantor, 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.

And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:

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

but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass to any successor. (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.

Hence too He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, seeing that He ever lives to plead 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.

Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this--holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men 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.

who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing He did 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 constitutes men High Priests--men with all their infirmity--but the utterance of the oath, which came later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has been made for ever perfect. (aiōn g165)
