Hebreo 7
1 I Melkizedeke ‘nio, nimpanjaka’ i Salema, mpisoron’ Añahare Andindimoneñey, ie ty nifanalaka amy Abraàme nimpoly amy nandrebaha’e i mpanjaka rey naho nitata’e,
For this man, Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of the Most High God--he who when Abraham was returning after defeating the kings met him and pronounced a blessing on him--
2 le nitolora’ i Abraàme ty fahafolo’ ze he’ey—ie atao Mpanjakan-kavantañañe hey, ty amy dika i tahina’ey, vaho Mpanjaka’ i Salema ndra Mpanjakam-panintsiñañe;
to whom also Abraham presented a tenth part of all--being first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and secondly King of Salem, that is, King of peace:
3 ie tsy aman-drae, tsy aman-drene, tsy aman-toñon-droae, tsy aman’ androm-pifotora’e, tsy amam-pitamperan-kaveloñe, fe nampanahafeñe amy Anan’ Añaharey, mitoetse ho mpisoroñe nainai’e tsy modo.
with no father or mother, and no record of ancestry: having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made a type of the Son of God--this man Melchizedek remains a priest for ever.
4 Haraharao heike ty hara’ elahi’ indatiy kanao nitolora’ i Abraàme raentika ty faha-folo’ o kinopa’eo.
Now think how great this priest-king must have been to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth part of the best of the spoil.
5 Le toe lilie’ i Hake o tarira’ i Levy norizan-ko mpisoroñeo ty hanontoñe am’ondatio, toe amo longo’eo, i faha-foloy, ie boak’ am-pisafoa’ i Abraàme.
And those of the descendants of Levi who receive the priesthood are authorized by the Law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these have sprung from Abraham.
6 Le i tsy toñoneñe aman-droae’ iareoy ty nandrambe ty faha-folo amy Abraàme vaho nitata i nampitamàñey.
But, in this instance, one who does not trace his origin from them takes tithes from Abraham, and pronounces a blessing on him to whom the promises belong.
7 Tsy kalafo te mitata ty zay ty zoke.
And beyond all dispute it is always the inferior who is blessed by the superior.
8 Naho atoy re le rambese’ ondaty mbe hihomakeo i faha-foloy, fe i añey ro taroñeñe te veloñe.
Moreover here frail mortal men receive tithes: there one receives them about whom there is evidence that he is alive.
9 Aa ie tsaraeñey, i Levy mpandrambe i fahafoloy, ro nandoa ty faha-folo añamy Abraàme,
And Levi too--if I may so speak--pays tithes through Abraham:
10 amy t’ie tampisafoan-droae’e ao te nifanalaka amy Melkizedeke.
for Levi was yet in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met Abraham.
11 Aa naho nahafonitse ty fisoroña’ i Levy (toe ama’e ty nandrambesa’ ondatio Hake) le inoñe amy zao ty ipaiañe mpisoroñe hitroatse amy famosora’ i Melkizedekey, fa tsy amy famosora’ i Aroney?
Now if the crowning blessing was attainable by means of the Levitical priesthood--for as resting on this foundation the people received the Law, to which they are still subject-- what further need was there for a Priest of a different kind to be raised up belonging to the order of Melchizedek instead of being said to belong to the order of Aaron?
12 Aa kanao vaoeñe i famosorañey, tsy mahay tsy vaoeñe ka t’i Hake.
For when the priesthood changes, a change of Law also of necessity takes place.
13 Amy te foko hafa i tsaraeñey, le tsy ama’e ty nitoron-kitrely.
He, however, to whom that prophecy refers is associated with a different tribe, not one member of which has anything to do with the altar.
14 Toe fohiñe te tarira’ i Joda i Talèn-tika, fe tsy nisaontsie’ i Mosè fisoroñañe t’i Joda,
For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.
15 miha-malange te mpisoroñe manahak’ i Melkizedeke ty nitroatse,
And this is still more abundantly clear when we read that it is as belonging to the order of Melchizedek that a priest of a different kind is to arise,
16 ie tsy nanoeñe am-pepè’ i Hake ty am-panoñonan-drae, fa an-kaozaran-kaveloñe tsy modo.
and hold His office not in obedience to any temporary Law, but by virtue of an indestructible Life.
For the words are in evidence, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
18 Toe miha-modo i fepetse taoloy ami’ty hamavazoa’e naho ty tsy fahalefea’e,
On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code because it was weak and ineffective--
19 (amy te tsy eo ty nahatafetere’ i Hake), fe nipoteake ty fitamàn-tsoa, hitotofan-tika aman’ Añahare;
for the Law brought no perfect blessing--but on the other hand we have the bringing in of a new and better hope by means of which we draw near to God.
20 mbore nanoeñe am-panta,
And since it was not without an oath being taken--
21 (toe tsy fanoeñ’ am-panta o mpisoroñeo, f’itoy ro am-panta, ie nanoeñe ty hoe: Toe nifanta t’Iehovà vaho tsy hihotike: Mpisoroñe nainai’e irehe.) (aiōn g165)
for these men hold office without any oath having been taken, but He holds it attested by an oath from Him who said to Him, "The Lord has sworn and will not recall His words, Thou art a Priest for ever" -- (aiōn g165)
22 Antsake t’ie ho fañina soa, amy te mitsoak’ aze t’Iesoa.
so much the more also is the Covenant of which Jesus has become the guarantor, a better covenant.
23 Maro i mpisoroñe rezay, ie tsy mijadoñe am-pitoloña’e fa agadon-kavilasy.
And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:
but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass to any successor. (aiōn g165)
25 Izay ty talim-pahahenefa’e rombake do’e o mitotok’ aman’ Añahare añama’eo, ie veloñe nainai’e hihalaly ho a iareo.
Hence too He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, seeing that He ever lives to plead for them.
26 Mañeva an-tika i Mpisorombey zay: ie masiñe, tsy aman-tahiñe, tsy aman-kila, miavak’ amo aman-kakeoo, vaho nonjoneñe ambone’ o likerañeo.
Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this--holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men and exalted above the heavens;
27 Ie tsy mipay boak’ andro, manahake o mpisoroñe taoloo, ty hañenga soroñe ho amo tahi’eo hey vaho ho amo hakeo’ ondatio. Fa nanoe’e indraik’ avao ie nañenga i fañòva’ey.
who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing He did once for all when He offered up Himself.
28 Oriza’ i Hake t’indaty aman-kila ho mpisorom-bey; fe i tsara am-panta sinokitse tafara’ i Hake ty nañorizañe i Anake nifonireñe ho nainai’ey. (aiōn g165)
For the Law constitutes men High Priests--men with all their infirmity--but the utterance of the oath, which came later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has been made for ever perfect. (aiōn g165)
