Waebrania 7
1 Jhajhele naha Melkizedeki mfalme ghwa Salemu, Kuhani ghwa K'yara jhaajhele kunani, jhaabhonene ni Abrahamu ik'erebhuka kuhoma kubhakhoma bhafalme na ampelili.
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 Abrahamu alimpa moja jha kumi jha khila khenu kya amalili kukiteka. Lihina lya muene “Melkizedeki” ndabha jhiake” mfalme ghwa haki” ni kabhele “mfalme ghwa Salemu” ambajhe ndo “mfalme ghwa amani.”
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 Ajhelepi ni Dadijhe, ajhelepi ni nyinamunu, ajhelepi ni bhazazi ajhelepi ni mwanzo ghwa ligono wala mwishu ghwa maisha gha muene. Badala jhiake ibakila kuhani milele, kama mwana ghwa K'yara.
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 Henu fikirilayi jinsi munu ojho kyaajhele mbaha. Mzazi ghwa j'hoto Abrahamu ampelili moja jha kumi jha fenu finofu fyaafitolili ku ngondo.
Now consider how great this personage was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils:
5 Na bhuhakika lukholo kwa Bhalawi bhabhajhamb'elili ofisi sya kikuhani bhajhele ni amri kuhoma ku sheria kubhonganiya moja jha kumi kuhoma kwa bhanu, ambajho ndo, kuhoma kwa Bhaisraeli bhaj'hinu, pamonga ni kwamba bhene, kabhele, ndo lukholo kuhoma kwa Abrahamu.
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 Lakini Melkizedeki, ambajhe ajhelepi ni lukholo kuhoma kwa Bhalawi ajhamb'elili moja jha kumi kuhoma kwa Abrahamu, na ambariki, muene ajhele ni ahadi.
but he whose descent is not counted among them collected a tithe from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7 Apu j'hibelekelibhwalepi kwamba munu n'debe ibarikibhwa ni mbaha.
Now without dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 Kwa lijambo e'le munu j'ha ij'hambelela moja j'ha kumi ibetakufwa ligono limonga, lakini kwa lijambo l'enge mjunu j'haapokili moja j'ha kumi kuhoma kwa Abrahamu akajhelekesibhwa kama kyajhiishi.
Also, here men who die receive tithes, but there he of whom it is testified that he lives
9 Ni kwa namna jha kulongela, Lawi j'haaj'hambelili moja j'ha kumi, kabhele al'epili moja j'ha kumi kwa Abrahamu,
—in a word, even Levi, who receives tithes, paid the tithe through Abraham,
10 kwa ndabha Lawi ajhele mu fiuno fya dadimunu Abrahamu bho Melkizedeki abhonene ni Abrahamu.
because he was still in the reproductive system of his forefather when Melchizedek met him.
11 Henu kama bhukamilifu bhwawesekene kup'elela bhukuhani bhwa Lawi, (naha pasi a muene bhanu bhij'hamb'elela sheria), kwaj'hele ni lihitaji leleku kwa kuhani j'hongi kutupuka baada jha mfumu ghwa Melkizedeki, na sio kukutibhwa baada jha mpangililu bhwa Haruni?
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 Henu bhukuhani bhukasanusibhuajhi, ijhelepibudi kabhele sheria nij'hiene kusanisibhwa.
(Because when the priesthood is changed there is also a change of law, of necessity.)
13 Kwa mmonga ambajhe mambo agha jobhibhu kuhusu likabila l'enge, kuhoma kwa muene ajhelepi jhaadumuili mu madhabahu.
For He of whom these things are said belongs to a different tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
14 Henu ndo bhuasi kujha Bwana bhitu ahomili mu Yuda, likabila ambalyo Musa alitajilepi kuhusu makuhani.
For it is evident that our Lord arose out of Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15 Ni agha ghatwijobha ndo bhuasi kujha hasa jhikajhiaghe kuhani j'hongi ibetakuhomela kwa mfano ghwa Melkizedeki.
And it all becomes clearer still if a different kind of priest, in the likeness of Melchizedek, appears,
16 Kuhani ojho mpya sio mmonga ambajhe ajhele kuhani panani pa misingi ghya sheria syasihusiana ni bhuzao bhwa munu, lakini mu misingi ghya nghofu ghya maisha ghaghabhwesilepi khonangeka.
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.
17 Mabadiliku agha ghishuhudila kuhusu muene: “Bhebhe ndo kuhani milele baada jha mfumo bhwa Melkizedeki.” (aiōn g165)
Because He testifies: “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Kwa kujha amri jhaj'halongolili jhabhekibhu palubhafu kwandabha jhajhele dhaifu na j'hifwajheghe lepi.
You see, there is an annulling of the former rule because of its weakness and uselessness
19 Naha sheria j'habhombilepi kyokyoha kikamilifu. Isipokujha, kwajhele ni bhujasiri n'nofu kwa aghu tukan'hegela K'yara.
(for the Law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20 Ni bhujasiri obho bhunofu bhwahomili lepi bila kulongelelela kiapu, kwa e'le makuhani bhamana bhatolili lepi kiapu kyokyoha.
Further, inasmuch as it was not without the taking of an oath
21 Lakini K'yara atolili kiapu bho ajobhili kuhusu Yesu, “Bwana alapili na ibetalepi kusanusya abhuasu gha muene.' bhebhe ndo kuhani milele.” (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 Kwa e'le Yesu kabhele ahidili kujha dhamana lya agano linofu.
—by so much Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 Kwa hakika, kifo kizuila makuhani kuhudumu milele. Ej'he kwandabha bhaj'hele makuhani bhamehele mmonga baada jha j'hongi.
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 Henu ni muene kabhele ibhwesya kwa ukamilifu kukamilisya kubhaokola bhabhakan'karibila K'yara kup'et'ela muene, kwa kujha muene iishi daima kwa kusoka kwa ndabha jha bhene.
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 Henu kuhani mbaha ghwa namna ejhe dhambi hatia, n'nofu, j'haatengibhu kuhoma kwa bhenye dhambi, na ajhele panani kuliko mbingu.
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 Muene ajhelepi ni bhuhitaji, mfano ghwa makuhani bhabhaha, kupisya dhabihu khila ligono, hoti kwa dhambi jha muene, ni baadajhe kwa dhambi sya bhanu. Abhombili naha mara jhimonga kwa bhoha, bho akihomisi muene.
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 Kwa sheria akabhasalanu bhadhaifu kujha makuhani bhabhaha, lakini lilobhi lya kiapu, lyalyahidili baada jha sheria, an'teuili Muana, jhaabhombiki kujha n'kamilifu milele. (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)
