to whom also a tenth of all apportioned Abraham, first indeed being translated king of righteousness then however also king of Salem, which is king of peace,

4 Intuemini autem quantus sit hic, cui et decimas dedit de praecipuis Abraham patriarcha.
do consider now how great this one [was], to whom even a tenth Abraham gave out of the best spoils the patriarch.
5 Et quidem de filiis Levi sacerdotium accipientes, mandatum habent decimas sumere a populo secundum legem, id est, a fratribus suis: quamquam et ipsi exierint de lumbis Abrahae.
And those indeed out from the sons of Levi the priestly office receiving a commandment have to take a tenth from the people according to the law, That is from the brothers of them, though having come out of the loin of Abraham.
6 Cuius autem generatio non annumeratur in eis, decimas sumpsit ab Abraham, et hunc, qui habebat repromissiones, benedixit.

Still for in the loin of [his] father he was when he met with him (*k*) Melchizedek.
11 Si ergo consummatio per sacerdotium Leviticum erat (populus enim sub ipso legem accepit) quid adhuc necessarium fuit secundum ordinem Melchisedech, alium surgere sacerdotem, et non secundum ordinem Aaron dici?
If indeed then perfection through the Levitical priesthood were — the people for upon (it has received [the] Law — *N(k)O*) what still need [was there] according to the order of Melchizedek [for] another to arise priest and not according to the order of Aaron to be named?
12 Translato enim sacerdotio, necesse est ut et legis translatio fiat.

13 In quo enim haec dicuntur, de alia tribu est, de qua nullus altari praesto fuit.
[He] concerning whom for are spoken these things to a tribe another has belonged to, from which no [one] has served at the altar.

[It is] evident for that out of Judah has sprung the Lord of us as to which a tribe concerning (priests *N(K)O*) no [thing] Moses spoke.
15 Et amplius adhuc manifestum est: si secundum similitudinem Melchisedech exurgat alius sacerdos,

16 qui non secundum legem mandati carnalis factus est, sed secundum virtutem vitae insolubilis.

(It is testified *N(k)O*) for that You [are] a priest to the age according to the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
18 Reprobatio quidem fit praecedentis mandati, propter infirmitatem eius, et inutilitatem:
A putting away indeed for there is while is preceding [the] commandment because of its weakness and uselessness —
19 nihil enim ad perfectum adduxit lex: introductio vero melioris spei, per quam proximamus ad Deum.
no [thing] for perfected the law — [the] introduction then of a better hope through which we draw near to God.
20 Et quantum est non sine iureiurando (alii quidem sine iureiurando sacerdotes facti sunt,
And to as much as not apart from an oath.
21 hic autem cum iureiurando per eum, qui dixit ad illum: Iuravit Dominus, et non poenitebit eum: tu es sacerdos in aeternum): (aiōn g165)
those ones truly for without an oath are priests having become, [He] however with an oath through the [One] who is saying to Him: Has sworn [the] Lord and not will change His mind; You [are] a priest to the age (according to the order of Melchizedek; *K*) (aiōn g165)

wherefore also to save to the uttermost He is able those drawing near through Him to God always living for to intercede for them.
26 Talis enim decebat ut nobis esset pontifex, sanctus, innocens, impollutus, segregatus a peccatoribus, et excelsior caelis factus:
Such indeed for us (also *no*) was fitting a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and higher than the heavens having become;
27 qui non habet necessitatem quotidie, quemadmodum sacerdotes, prius pro suis delictis hostias offerre, deinde pro populi: hoc enim fecit semel, seipsum offerendo.
who not has every day need as the high priests first for [their] own sins sacrifices to offer up then for those of the people; this for He did once for all Himself having offered up.
