Vaebulania 7
1 Melikisedeki mwenuyo avi nkosi wa Salemu, na Mteta mkulu wa Chapanga mweavi kunani neju. Ibulahimu peawuyayi kuhuma ku ngondo kweavakomili vankosi, Melikisedeki akonganiki nayu, namwene Melikisedeki ammotisi,
For this Melchisedec, King of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from smiting the kings, and blessed him;
2 na Ibulahimu ampelili lilundu la kumi pa vindu vyoha vyeanyagili kungondo. Mana ya liina Meilikisedeki, “Nkosi mbwina palongolo Chapanga,” Muni avi Nkosi wa Salemu liina laki mewa mana yaki “Nkosi wa uteke.”
to whom Abraham gave also the tenth portion of all; first being interpreted King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;
3 Avi lepi na dadi amala mau mewa avi lepi na lukolo, kawaka mundu mweimanya avelekiwi ndali amala afwili ndali. Iwanangana na Mwana wa Chapanga, na iyendelela kuvya Mteta Mkulu magono goha gangali mwishu.
without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually.
4 Hinu, mhololela mundu uyu cheavili mkulu. Hati Gogo witu Ibulahimu ampelili lilundu la kumi pa vindu vyoha vyeanyagili ku ngondo.
Now consider how great this [personage] was, to whom [even] the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the spoils.
5 Kulandana na Mihilu ya Chapanga, yikuvahamula vachiveleku va Lawi ndi vamteta vakulu va Chapanga, viganikiwa kupokela lilundu limonga pagati ya kumi kuhuma kwa valongo vavi vandu va Isilaeli, pamonga vene valongo vavi ndi vachiveleku va Ibulahimu.
And they indeed from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is from their brethren, though these are come out of the loins of Abraham:
6 Nambu Melikisedeki mwenuyu avi lepi wa Chiveleku cha Lawi, nambu apokili lilundu la kumi kuhuma kwa Ibulahimu, kavili ammotisi mwene mweapewili lilagizu na Chapanga.
but he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.
7 Na timanyili bwina kuvya mkulu ndi mweakummotisa mdebe.
But beyond all gainsaying, the inferior is blessed by the better.
8 Kangi mu lijambu lenili vakulu va kuteta va Chapanga vevipokela lilundu la kumi, ndi vandu vevifwa, nambu Melikisedeki mweapokili lilundu la kumi yijoveka kuvya ifwa lepi.
And here dying men receive tithes; but there [one] of whom the witness is that he lives;
9 Kangi, tihotola kujova kuvya, Ibulahimu peawusili lilundu la kumi, mewawa Lawi pamonga vachiveleku vaki ndi vevipokela lilundu la kumi mewa Lawi awusili lilundu la kumi ndava muni avi chiveleku cha Ibulahimu.
and, so to speak, through Abraham, Levi also, who received tithes, has been made to pay tithes.
10 Ndava Melikisedeki peakonganiki na Ibulahimu, Lawi avi akona kuvelekewa, avi akona muhiga ya dadi waki.
For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.
11 Vandu va Isilaeli vapewili malagizu mumkingisa wa uteta wa Valawi. Ngati lihengu la uteta lavi kamilifu, ngayiganikiwi lepi kuhumila mteta yungi wa Chapanga mweiwanangana na Melikisedeki, na lepi Aloni.
If indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the people had their law given to them in connexion with it, what need [was there] still that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after the order of Aaron?
12 Ndava muni uteta wa Chapanga wakang'anamuka, malagizu na gene mewawa ging'anamuka.
For, the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a change of law also.
13 Na Bambu witu ndi mambu goha getijova ndava yaki, avi wa likabila lingi na kawaka hati mmonga wa likabila laki mweahengili pa lusanja lwa luteta ngati mteta Chapanga.
For he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of which no one has [ever] been attached to the service of the altar.
14 Timanyili hotohoto kuvya Bambu witu ihuma mu likabila la Yuda, Musa aliluwili lepi peajovili kuuvala lukolo lwenulo mu mambu ga vamteta va Chapanga.
For it is clear that our Lord has sprung out of Juda, as to which tribe Moses spake nothing as to priests.
15 Kangi lijambu lenili lilangisa hotohoto neju, malovi aga, ahumalili mteta yungi mweavi ngati Melikisedeki.
And it is yet more abundantly evident, since a different priest arises according to the similitude of Melchisedec,
16 Mwene akitiwi lepi mteta wa Chapanga kwa malagizu na malagizu ga chimundu, nambu kwa makakala ga wumi wangali mwishu.
who has been constituted not according to law of fleshly commandment, but according to power of indissoluble life.
17 Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Veve ndi Mteta wa Chapanga wa magono goha gangali mwishu ngati cheuvili uteta wa Melikisedeki.” (aiōn g165)
For it is borne witness, Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
18 Hinu, mhilu wula wa kadeni yavikiwi pamuhana ndava yangali makakala na yangafaya chindu.
For there is a setting aside of the commandment going before for its weakness and unprofitableness,
19 Muni Malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa gangahotola kukamilisa lijambu loloha. Nambu hinu, pandu paki pavikiwi huvalila yabwina neju yeyihotosa kumhegelela Chapanga papipi.
(for the law perfected nothing, ) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God.
20 Neju ya genago, apa pavi na chilapu cha Chapanga. Lukumbi vala vangi pavakitiwi vamteta va Chapanga pangali chilapu chochoha.
And by how much [it was] not without the swearing of an oath;
21 Nambu Yesu ahengiwi kuvya Mteta kwa chilapu lukumbi Chapanga peamjovili, “Bambu alapili, kangi ing'anamuka lepi maholo gaki, ‘Veve ndi mteta wa Chapanga magono goha gangali mwishu.’” (aiōn g165)
(for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent [of it], Thou [art] priest for ever [according to the order of Melchisedec]; ) (aiōn g165)
22 Hinu, ndava ya kulapa kwenuko, Yesu ndi ulangisu wa chakaka wa kutilangisa tivii na huvalila ya lilaganu labwina neju.
by so much Jesus became surety of a better covenant.
23 Kangi kwavi na vamteta vangi vamahele va lilaganu la kadeni, vangahotola kuyendelela na lihengu lavi ndava vafwili.
And they have been many priests, on account of being hindered from continuing by death;
24 Nambu Yesu itama magono goha gangali mwishu, na uteta waki wihotoleka lepi kupewa mundu yungi. (aiōn g165)
but he, because of his continuing for ever, has the priesthood unchangeable. (aiōn g165)
25 Ndava yeniyo, mwene ihotola kuvasangula voha vevakumhambila Chapanga kwa njila yaki, ndava itama magono goha gangali mwishu, muni avayupila kwa Chapanga.
Whence also he is able to save completely those who approach by him to God, always living to intercede for them.
26 Muni taganikiwi kuvya na Mteta Mkulu ngati mwenuyu mweavi Msopi na angabuda na mwangambudila Chapanga. Mweabaguliwi kutali na vevakumbudila Chapanga, na mweatoliwi kunani neju kwa Chapanga.
For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and become higher than the heavens:
27 Mwene avi lepi ngati vamteta vakulu vangi, iganikiwa lepi kuwusa luteta lwa kuhinjwa hinyama kila ligono, ndava ya kubuda kwaki mwene kavili ndava ya kubuda kwa vandu vangi. Mwene ajiwusili kuvya luteta mala yimonga ndu mu lukumbi lwoha.
who has not day by day need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for his own sins, then [for] those of the people; for this he did once for all [in] having offered up himself.
28 Malagizu ga Musa gakuvahagula vandu vangolongondi kuvya vamteta vakulu va Chapanga, nambu malagizu ga Chapanga gahengili kwa chilapu chechibwela palongolo ya malagizu, gamhagwili Mwana mweakitiwi mkamilifu magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōn g165)
For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which [is] after the law, a Son perfected for ever. (aiōn g165)
