KumaHebheru 7
1 Ngoba uMelkizedeki lo, inkosi yeSalema, umpristi kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, owahlangabeza uAbrahama mhla ebuya ekubulaleni amakhosi, wasembusisa,
Merukizeddeeki yali kabaka w’e Ssaalemi, era yali kabona wa Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo. Ibulayimu bwe yali ng’ava mu lutalo mwe yattira bakabaka, Merukizeddeeki n’amusisinkana, n’amusabira omukisa.
2 uAbrahama laye wamabela okwetshumi kwakho konke; kuqala uphendulelwa ngokuthi inkosi yokulunga, emva kwalokhu besekuthiwa futhi inkosi yeSalema, okuyikuthi inkosi yokuthula;
Ne Ibulayimu n’awa Merukizeddeeki ekitundu eky’ekkumi ekya byonna bye yanyaga. Okusooka erinnya Merukizeddeeki litegeeza nti Kabaka ow’Obutuukirivu. Ate era litegeeza kabaka w’e Ssaalemi ekitegeeza nti ye kabaka ow’emirembe.
3 engelayise, engelanina, engelasendo, engelakuqala kwensuku kumbe ukuphela kwempilo, kodwa esenziwe wafanana leNdodana kaNkulunkulu, uhlala engumpristi laphakade.
Merukizeddeeki taliiko kitaawe oba nnyina. Ennaku ze teziriiko ntandikwa wadde enkomerero, era n’obulamu bwe tebukoma. Asigala kabona emirembe gyonna, ng’Omwana wa Katonda.
4 Bonani-ke ukuthi mkhulu kangakanani lo, ngitsho uAbrahama ukhokho amnika okwetshumi kwezimpango.
Kale mulabe Merukizeddeeki oyo nga bwe yali omukulu! Ibulayimu jjajjaffe yamuwa ekimu eky’ekkumi ekya byonna bye yanyaga.
5 Lalabo abavela emadodaneni kaLevi abemukela ubupristi balomlayo wokwemukela okwetshumi ebantwini ngokomthetho, okuyikuthi kubafowabo, lanxa bevela ekhalweni lukaAbrahama;
N’abo abazzukulu ba Leevi abaaweebwa obwakabona, balagirwa okusoloozanga ekimu eky’ekkumi ng’etteeka bwe ligamba, newaakubadde nga baava mu ntumbwe za Ibulayimu, kwe kugamba nti nabo baganda baabwe.
6 kodwa yena ongabalelwa osendweni lwabo, wemukela okwetshumi kuAbrahama, wasembusisa lowo owayelezithembiso.
Naye oyo ataabalibwa mu kika kyabwe, yafuna ekimu eky’ekkumi okuva eri Ibulayimu, Merukizeddeeki n’asabira omukisa oyo eyalina ebyasuubizibwa.
7 Njalo kungelakuphikwa ngitsho ukuthi: Omncinyane ubusiswa ngomkhulu.
Tewali kubuusabuusa omukulu y’asabira omuto omukisa.
8 Lapha-ke abantu abafayo bemukela okwetshumi; kodwa lapho esemukela lowo okufakazwa ngaye ukuthi uyaphila.
Mu ngeri emu, ekimu eky’ekkumi kiweebwa eri abantu abafa, naye mu ngeri endala, kiweebwa eri oyo akakasibwa nga mulamu.
9 Kungatshiwo-ke, uLevi laye owemukela okwetshumi wanikela okwetshumi ngoAbrahama;
Noolwekyo ka tugambe nti okuyita mu Ibulayimu, ne Leevi aweebwa ekimu eky’ekkumi, naye yawaayo ekimu eky’ekkumi.
10 ngoba wayesesekhalweni lukayise, mhla uMelkizedeki emhlangabeza.
Yali akyali mu ntumbwe za jjajjaawe, Merukizeddeeki bwe yamusisinkana.
11 Ngakho-ke uba kwakukhona ukuphelela ngobupristi bukaLevi (ngoba isizwe sanikwa umlayo ngaphansi kwabo), kwakusaswelekelani ukuthi kuvele omunye umpristi ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki, lokungatshiwo ngokwendlela kaAroni?
Kale singa okutuukirira kwaliwo lwa bwakabona obw’Ekileevi, kubanga abantu baaweebwa amateeka nga gasinzira ku bwo, kiki ekyetaaza kabona omulala okuva mu lubu lwa Merukizeddeeki, mu kifo ky’okuva mu lubu lwa Alooni?
12 Ngoba uba ubupristi buphendulwa, kuyadingeka ukuthi kube khona lokuphendulwa komlayo.
Kubanga bwe wabaawo okukyusibwa mu bwakababona, era kiba kyetaagisa n’okukyusa mu mateeka.
13 Ngoba lowo okukhulunywa ngaye lezizinto ungowesinye isizwe, okungabanga khona kuso owanakekela ilathi.
Oyo ayogerwako ebigambo ebyo wa kika kirala omutaavanga muntu eyali aweerezaako ku Kyoto.
14 Ngoba kusobala ukuthi iNkosi yethu yavela koJuda, isizwe uMozisi angakhulumanga lutho ngaso mayelana lobupristi.
Kubanga kimanyiddwa nga Mukama waffe yava mu Yuda ekika Musa ky’ataayogerako bigambo bya bwakabona.
15 Njalo kusesobala ngokwengezelelwe kakhulu, uba sekusima omunye umpristi njengokofuzo lukaMelkizedeki,
Era kitegeerekeka nga wazeewo Kabona omulala mu kifaananyi kya Merukizeddeeki,
16 ongenziwanga ngokomthetho wesimiso senyama, kodwa ngokwamandla empilo engelakuphela;
atassibwawo ng’amateeka ag’ebiragiro eby’omubiri bwe gali, wabula ng’amaanyi bwe gali ag’obulamu obutaggwaawo.
17 ngoba ufakaza esithi: Wena ungumpristi kuze kube nininini ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki. (aiōn g165)
Kubanga Kristo ayogerwako nti, “Oli kabona okutuusa emirembe gyonna ng’olubu lwa Merukizeddeeki bwe luli.” (aiōn g165)
18 Ngoba ukubekwa eceleni komthetho wokuqala kwenziwa ngenxa yobuthakathaka lokungasizi lutho kwawo;
Ekiragiro ekyasooka kijjululwa olw’obunafu n’olw’obutagasa bwakyo,
19 ngoba umlayo kawuzanga wenze ulutho luphelele, kodwa uyisingeniso sethemba elingcono, esisondela ngalo kuNkulunkulu.
kubanga amateeka tegaliiko kye gatuukiriza, wabula essubi erisinga obulungi, mwe tuyita okusemberera Katonda.
20 Njalo okungangokuthi kenziwanga ngaphandle kwesifungo,
Era kino tekyakolebwa watali kirayiro. Waliwo abaafuulibwa bakabona awatali kirayiro,
21 (ngoba bona baba ngabapristi ngaphandle kwesifungo, kodwa yena ngesifungo, ngalowo owathi kuye: INkosi yafunga njalo kayiyikuzisola yathi: Wena ungumpristi kuze kube nininini ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki; ) (aiōn g165)
naye ye yafuulibwa kabona mu kirayiro, ng’ayita mu oyo amwogerako nti, “Mukama yalayira era tagenda kwejjusa: ‘Oli kabona emirembe gyonna.’” (aiōn g165)
22 ngalokho uJesu waba yisibambiso sesivumelwano esingcono.
Yesu kyeyava afuuka omuyima w’endagaano esinga obulungi.
23 Lalabo babebanengi ababa ngabapristi, ngoba bavinjelwa yikufa ukuthi bahlale njalo;
Bangi abaafuulibwa bakabona kubanga baafanga ne basikirwa.
Naye olwokubanga Yesu abeerera emirembe gyonna, alina obwakabona obutakyukakyuka. (aiōn g165)
25 Ngenxa yalokho laye ulamandla okusindisa ngokupheleleyo abeza kuNkulunkulu ngaye, lokhu ephilela njalo ukubanxusela.
Era kyava ayinza okulokolera ddala abajja eri Katonda ku bubwe, kubanga abeera mulamu ennaku zonna okubawolereza.
26 Ngoba umpristi omkhulu onjalo usifanele, ongcwele, ongelacala, ongelasici, owehlukaniswe lezoni, lowenziwa waphakama kulamazulu;
Noolwekyo Kabona Asinga Obukulu afaanana bw’atyo ye yatusaanira, omutukuvu, ataliiko musango, wadde ebbala, eyayawulibwa okuva ku abo abalina ebibi, era eyagulumizibwa okusinga eggulu,
27 ongadingi insuku ngensuku, njengabapristi abakhulu, ukunikela imihlatshelo esenzela ezakhe izono kuqala, emva kwalokho ezabantu; ngoba lokho wakwenza kanye mhla ezinikela yena.
ataliiko kye yeetaaga ekya buli lunaku, nga bakabona abakulu abalala, okusooka okuwangayo ssaddaaka olw’ebibi bye ye, n’oluvannyuma olw’ebyo eby’abantu abalala. Ekyo yakikola omulundi gumu, bwe yeewaayo yennyini.
28 Ngoba umlayo uyamisa abantu babe ngabapristi abakhulu, abalobuthakathaka; kodwa ilizwi lesifungo elalandela umlayo lamisa iNdodana ephelelisiweyo kuze kube nininini. (aiōn g165)
Amateeka gaalondanga abantu okuba Bakabona Abasinga Obukulu n’obunafu bwabwe, naye ekigambo eky’ekirayiro, ekyaddirira amateeka, kironda Omwana eyatuukirira okutuusa emirembe gyonna. (aiōn g165)
