Maheberu 7
1 Ibali njozu Melekisedeke, simwine wa Selemu, muprisita wa Ireeza Yohitilize Kuhangama, yabasangani Abrahama habola kuzwa kukusinya chakwihaya basimwine mi namutohonolofaza.
This Melchisedech kynge of Salem (which beinge prest of ye most hye god met Abraham as he returned agayne from the slaughter of the kynges and blessed him:
2 Ibali kwali kwabahi Abrahama inkalulo yimwina yazina ikumi yazintu zonse. Izina Lyakwe “Melekisedeke” italusa “simwine wabulotu bumaniniza.” Ilumbatina lakwe limwi nji “simwine wa Salemi,” italusa, “simwine wekozo.”
to whom also Abraham gave tythes of all thynges) fyrst is by interpretacion kynge of rightewesnes: after yt he is kynge of Sale yt is to saye kynge of peace
3 Kena isi, kena nyina, kena bakulubatanzi, kena nanga matangilo amazuba mane nanga mamaninizo abuhalo. Muchibakchobulyo, uswana ni Mwana we Ireeza, kakuli uswala kuba muprisita kuya kusena mamanimani.
with out father wt out mother with out kynne and hath nether begynnynge of his tyme nether yet ende of his lyfe: but is lykened vnto the sonne of god and cotinueth a preste for ever.
4 Mubone mwabubanela uzu mukwame. Bakulubatanzi ba Abrahama babamuhi inkalulo yimwina yazina ikumi yazintu zonse zabakahindi mukondo.
Consyder what a man this was vnto who the patriarke Abraham gave tythes of the spoyles.
5 Munzila imwi, bana ba Livi babaamuheli buprisita bena itaelo inzwa kumulao yakutambula inkalulo yimwina yazina ikumi yazintu kubantu, kutalusa kuti, kuzwililila kubanakwabo, nihaike kuti nabo, bulyo, babazwi kumubili wa Abrahama.
And verely those children of levy which receave the office of the prestes have a commaundement to take a cordyng to the lawe tythes of the people that is to saye of their brethren yee though they spronge out of the loynes of Abraham.
6 Kono chenzila imwi, Melekisedeke, ili uzo lusika lwakwe kanalubawoleki kwizibwa kuluzwa, abaamuheli inkalulo yimwina yazina ikumi yazintu kuzwa kwa Abrahama, imi abamutohonolofazi, iye yabena isepiso.
But he whose kynred is not counted amonge them receaved tythes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promyses.
7 Kakwina kusapula kuti muntu wamazimo ena kunsi utohonolofazwa kumuntu wina mazimo makando.
And no man denyeth but that which is lesse receaveth blessinge of yt which is greater.
8 Mweyi indaba, mukwame yofwile utambula inkalulo yimwina yazina ikumi yazintu, kono chendaba ikola neyo kutiisezwa kuti uzwilahabusu kuhala.
And here men that dye receave tythes. But there he receaveth tythes of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
9 Imi, chamazimo akuwamba, Livi, yabatambuli inkalulo yimwina yazina ikumi yazintu, naye bulyo abalihi inkalulo yimwina yazina ikumi kwa Abrahama,
And to saye the trueth Levy him silfe also which receaveth tythes payed tythes in Abraham.
10 kakuli Livi abena mumubili wamuzazi wetanzi munako ya Melekisedeke hasangana Abrahama.
For he was yet in the loynes of his father Abraham when Melchisech met him.
11 Linu haiba kuba yobuzwile mubuhalo bwachilumeli chintu chiwoleka chenzila yabuprisita bwa Chilivi (mukuti mwikonde lateni bantu babaamuheli mulao), bulotu nzi buchitokwahala kuba kwateni kwamuprisita zumwi kuba kwateni mumasule enzila ya Melekisedeke, ni kusahewa itokomelo kuba yichilila mikwa ya Aaroni?
Yf now therfore perfeccion came by the presthod of the levites (for vnder that presthod the people recaved the lawe) what neded it furthermore that an other prest shuld ryse after the order of Melchisedech and not after the order of Aaron?
12 Mukuti buprisita heti chibwachinchwa, mulao nao utameha kuchinchwa.
Now no dout yf the presthod be translated then of necessitie must the lawe be translated also.
13 Mukuti yowambwa chezi zintu ngwamushobo umwi, kusena nanga umwina yabati nasebeza hakatala.
For he of whom these thynges are spoken pertayneth vnto another trybe of which never man served at the aultre.
14 Hanu kujolwele, ibali kwa Juda kwaba pepwa Simwine wetu, mushobo uti nanga ubabi Mushe asauwambi kuamana ni maprisita.
For it is evidet that oure lorde spronge of the trybe of Iuda of which trybe spake Moses nothynge concernynge presthod.
15 Imi chituwamba chizuweka haishaiba zumwi muprisita uba kwateni yoswana ni Melekisedeke.
And it is yet a more evydent thinge yf after the similitude of Melchisedech ther aryse a nother prest
16 Kanaibali hamutomo wamulao walusika lwenyama kuti abe muprisita, kono ibali chamutomo wamaata abuhalo bwakwe busetinibumane.
which is not made after the lawe of the carnall commaundmet: but after the power of the endlesse lyfe
17 Mukuti ziñoletwe zimupaka bulyo: “'Umuprisita wakuya kusena mamanimani munzila iswana ni mwababili Melekisedeke muprisita.” (aiōn g165)
(For he testifieth: Thou arte a prest forever after the order of Melchysedech) (aiōn g165)
18 Mukuti kubena kumanisa kwamulao ubena kwateni kakuli kanaubakolete ni kusaba ni yuso.
Then the commaundmet that went a fore is disanulled because of hir weaknes and vnproffitablenes.
19 Mukuti mulao kana ubapangi chilukite. Nihakwina bulyo, kubena matangilo ena kulisepa nenza akubusu chenzila ituswanela kwiza kwe Ireeza.
For the lawe made nothynge parfecte: but was an introduccion of a better hope by which hope we drawe nye vnto god.
20 Imi inzi kanazibatendahali ni kusena kulikonka chekumbya. Chenzila imwi, abo bamwi bababi maprisita ni kusena kulikonka chekumbya.
And for this cause it is a better hope that it was not promysed with out an othe.
21 Kono chenzila imwi, iyi kwateni, Jesu, ababi muprisita chakulikonka chekumbya kozo yabawambi kwali, “Ireeza abalikonki chekumbya mi ketinachinche maikuto akwe: 'Umuprisita wakuya kusena mamanimani.”' (aiōn g165)
Those prestes were made wt out an oth: but this prest with an oth by him that saide vnto him The lorde sware and will not repent: Thou arte a prest for ever after the order of Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)
22 Cheyi inzila hape Jesu abahi isepiso yizwile yetumelelano yina nenza.
And for that cause was Iesus a stablyssher of a better testament.
23 Chenzila imwi, bangi bababi maprisita kakuli chakufwa bakungulwa ni kusazwila habusu.
And amonge them many were made prestes because they were not suffred to endure by the reason of deeth.
24 Chenzila imwi, kakuli Jesu ushala kuba bulyo kuya kusena mamanimani, wina mazimo abuprisita asamani. (aiōn g165)
But this man because he endureth ever hath an everlastinge presthod. (aiōn g165)
25 Chobulyo uwola hape kuhuna cheniti beza kwe Ireeaza chenzila yakwe, kakuli inako yonse uhalila kubalapelela.
Wherfore he is able also ever to save them that come vnto god by him seynge he ever lyveth to make intercession for vs.
26 Mukuti muprisita mukulwana bulyo njotuswanela. Kena chive, kena katowati, ujolola, uzwisizwe kubatendi bazive, imi ababi yohanzi kuhita mawulu akwiwulu.
Soche an hye prest it became vs to have which is wholy harmlesse vndefyled separat from synners and made hyar then heven.
27 Kakwina chatokwa, kaswani ni muprisita mukulwana, yoha chitabelo izuba ni zuba, kutanga chazive zakwe, mi linu zive zabantu bamwi. Abatutendeli bulyo kamwina tubonse, habalineli iye mwine.
Which nedeth not dayly (as yonder hie prestes) to offer vp sacrifice fyrst for his awne synnes and then for the peoples synnes. For that did he at once for all when he offered vp him silfe.
28 Mukuti mulao ubika bakwame bena bufokoli kuba baprisita bakulwana. Kono linzi lakulikonka chekumbya, libezi mumasule amulao, libabiki Mwana, yabatendwa yolukite kuya kusena mamanimani. (aiōn g165)
For the lawe maketh men prestes which have infirmitie: but the worde of the othe that came fence ye lawe maketh the sonne prest which is parfecte for ever more. (aiōn g165)
