Hebrew 7
1 Melchizedek se inge el tuh tokosra lun acn Salem, ac el mwet tol lun God Fulatlana. Ke Abraham el tuh foloko liki mweun se ma el kutangla tokosra akosr ah, Melchizedek el tuh osun nu sel ac akinsewowoyalla.
It was this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.
2 Ac Abraham el tuh sang nu sel sie tafu singoul ke ma nukewa ma el sruokya ah. (Kalmen Melchizedek pa “Tokosra lun Suwoswos”; na ke sripen el pa tokosra lun Salem, pangpang pac el “Tokosra lun Misla.”)
It was to him that Abraham gave a tenth of everything. His name “Melchizedek” means “king of righteousness.” His other title is “king of Salem,” that is, “king of peace.”
3 Wangin ma simla ke papa tumal Melchizedek ku nina kial, ku kutena fwilin mwet matu lal. Wangin pac ma simla in akkalemye isusla ku misa lal. El oana Wen nutin God; el mwet tol na nwe tok.
He is without father, without mother, without ancestors, with neither beginning of days nor end of life. Instead, he resembles the Son of God, because he remains a priest forever.
4 Kowos ku in akilen lah el arulana fulat. Abraham, mwet matu pwengpeng lasr, el sang nu sel sie tafu singoul ke ma nukewa ma el sruokya ke mweun ah.
See how great this man was to whom the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the things that he had taken in battle.
5 Ma Sap uh fahk mu mwet in fwilin tulik natul Levi su mwet tol, elos enenu in eisani sie tafu singoul sin mwet Israel wialos, mwet inge finne oayapa mwet in fwilin tulik natul Abraham.
The sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have a command from the law to collect tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, even though they, too, have come from Abraham's body.
6 Melchizedek el tia ma ke fwilin tulik natul Levi, a el tuh eis sie tafu singoul sel Abraham ac akinsewowoyal. Abraham pa mwet se wulela lun God oasr se.
But Melchizedek, whose descent was not traced from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him, the one who had the promises.
7 Arulana kalem lah el su akinsewowoye sie mwet, el fulat liki mwet se ma akinsewowoyeyuk.
There is no denying that the lesser person is blessed by the greater person.
8 Fin nu ke mwet tol uh, sie tafu singoul tuh orekeni sin mwet ma ac misa; a funu Melchizedek, el moulna ac el pa eis sie tafu singoul sac, oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk.
In this case, mortal men receive tithes, but in that case it is testified that he lives on.
9 Na kut ku in fahk mu ke Abraham el sang sie tafu singoul sac, Levi (su fwilin tulik natul pa orani sie tafu singoul uh) el oayapa moli.
And, in a manner of speaking, Levi, who received tithes, also paid tithes through Abraham,
10 Mweyen Levi el soenna isusla in pacl sac, tuh kut ku in fahk mu el oasr na in manol Abraham, papa matu se tumal, ke pacl se Melchizedek el tuh sonol ah.
because Levi was in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
11 Orekma lun mwet tol ke sruf lal Levi pa sie oakwuk yohk in Ma Sap ma tuh itukyang nu sin mwet Israel. Na, funu ku in oasr suwoswos lun mwet ke sripen orekma lun mwet tol Levi inge, lukun tia eneneyuk in oasr sie pacna mwet tol saya sikyak in oana Melchizedek, su tia ma ke sruf lal Aaron.
Now if perfection were possible through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the manner of Melchizedek, and not be considered to be after the manner of Aaron?
12 Tuh ke oakwuk nu ke suleyen mwet tol fin ayaolla, na enenu pac in oasr ayaol nu ke ma sap uh.
For when the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed.
13 Ac Leum lasr, su ma inge fwack kacl, el ma in siena sruf, ac soenna oasr mwet tol sikyak in sruf se lal inge.
For the one about whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
14 Arulana eteyuk lah el tuh isusla in sruf lal Judah; ac Moses el tiana srumun sruf se inge ke el kaskaskin mwet tol uh.
Now clearly, it is from Judah that our Lord was born, a tribe that Moses never mentioned concerning priests.
15 Ma inge sifilpa arulana kalemla; sie pacna kain mwet tol sikyak tari su oapana Melchizedek.
What we say is clearer yet if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek.
16 El tuh tia orekla sie mwet tol ke sripen ma sap ku oakwuk lun sruf lal uh, a ke ku lun moul lal ma wangin safla kac.
It was not based on the law of fleshly descent that he became a priest, but instead was based on the power of an everlasting life.
17 Tuh Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Kom ac fah sie mwet tol nwe tok, in oana mwet tol Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
For scripture witnesses about him: “You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Ke ma inge ma sap meet ah sisila tari ke sripen ma sap sac munas ac wangin sripa.
For the former regulation is set aside because it is weak and useless,
19 Tuh ma sap lal Moses tia ku in aksuwosyela kutena ma. Ac inge ituku nu sesr sie finsrak su wo liki na ma kut tuh finsrak kac meet ah, su akfototoye kut nu yurin God.
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, through which we come near to God.
20 Sayen ma inge, oasr fulahk se God El orala. Wangin kain in fulahk ouinge tuh orek ke srisrngiyuki mwet tol ngia.
And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath,
21 A ke Jesus el tuh orekla sie mwet tol, God El orala sie fulahk ac fahk nu sel, “Leum El tuh orala sie wulela ku Ac El ac fah tiana ekulla, su fahk: ‘Kom ac fah sie mwet tol nwe tok.’” (aiōn g165)
but he became a priest when God said to him, “The Lord has sworn and he will not change his mind: 'You are a priest forever.'” (aiōn g165)
22 Kalmen ma inge pa Jesus el mwe akpwaye nu sesr lah ac fah oasr sie wuleang inmasrlosr ac God su wo liki ma meet ah.
By this also Jesus has given the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 Oasr pac sie ma ekla: pus sunun mwet tol in pacl meet ah, mweyen elos misa ac tia ku in sifil oru orekma kunalos.
The former priests were many in number, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
24 A Jesus el ac moulna nwe tok, ac orekma in tol lal uh ac tia sifil itukyang nu sin sie mwet saya. (aiōn g165)
But because Jesus continues to live forever, he has a permanent priesthood. (aiōn g165)
25 Ouinge el ku in molelosla nukewa su tuku nu yurin God kacl, inge ac nwe tok, mweyen el moul ma pahtpat tuh elan siyuk nu sin God kaclos.
Therefore he is also able to save completely those who approach God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
26 Ke ma inge, Jesus pa kain Mwet Tol Fulat se ma kut enenu. El mutal; wangin mwatal ac wangin ma fohkfok in el. El srisrila liki mwet koluk, ac akfulatyeyuk el nu yen fulatlana inkusrao.
For such a high priest is suitable for us. He is sinless, blameless, pure, separated from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens.
27 El tia oana mwet tol fulat ngia; el tia enenu in orek kisa ke len nukewa — nu ke ma koluk lal sifacna meet, na tufah nu ke ma koluk lun mwet uh. El oru kisa sefanna, ke pacl sefanna in akfalye pacl nukewa, ke el kisakunul sifacna.
He does not need, unlike the high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He did this once for all, when he offered himself.
28 Ma Sap lal Moses uh srisrngi mwet sesuwos elos in mwet tol fulat; a wulela se lun God wi fulahk sac, ma orekla tukun Ma Sap uh, pa orekmakinyuk in sulela Wen natul nu ke mwet tol fulat, ac Wen se inge suwoswoslana nwe tok. (aiōn g165)
For the law appoints as high priests men who have weaknesses. But the word of the oath, which came after the law, appointed a Son, who has been made perfect forever. (aiōn g165)
