< 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.
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 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 divided "a tenth part of everything" (being first, by interpretation, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is 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 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 man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the most valuable plunder.
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.
They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the Law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
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 genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
7 Apu j'hibelekelibhwalepi kwamba munu n'debe ibarikibhwa ni mbaha.
But without any 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.
Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes 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,
We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
10 kwa ndabha Lawi ajhele mu fiuno fya dadimunu Abrahamu bho Melkizedeki abhonene ni Abrahamu.
for he was yet in the body of his father 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 if there was perfection 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 Henu bhukuhani bhukasanusibhuajhi, ijhelepibudi kabhele sheria nij'hiene kusanisibhwa.
For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
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 another 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 has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
15 Ni agha ghatwijobha ndo bhuasi kujha hasa jhikajhiaghe kuhani j'hongi ibetakuhomela kwa mfano ghwa Melkizedeki.
This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
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 been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
17 Mabadiliku agha ghishuhudila kuhusu muene: “Bhebhe ndo kuhani milele baada jha mfumo bhwa Melkizedeki.” (aiōn )
for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn )
18 Kwa kujha amri jhaj'halongolili jhabhekibhu palubhafu kwandabha jhajhele dhaifu na j'hifwajheghe lepi.
For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment 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.
Inasmuch as he was not made priest 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 )
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 )
22 Kwa e'le Yesu kabhele ahidili kujha dhamana lya agano linofu.
Accordingly Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
23 Kwa hakika, kifo kizuila makuhani kuhudumu milele. Ej'he kwandabha bhaj'hele makuhani bhamehele mmonga baada jha j'hongi.
Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
24 Lakini kwandabha Yesu iishi milele bhukuhani bhwa muene bhwikisanusya lepi. (aiōn )
But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable. (aiōn )
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 also able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
26 Henu kuhani mbaha ghwa namna ejhe dhambi hatia, n'nofu, j'haatengibhu kuhoma kwa bhenye dhambi, na ajhele panani kuliko mbingu.
For such a high priest was indeed fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made 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 does not need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people. For 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 )
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 )
