Ibroota 7
1 Malkiiseedeq mootii Saalemiitii fi luba Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ture. Innis utuu Abrahaam mootota moʼatee deebiʼuu itti dhufee isa eebbise;
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2 Abrahaamis waan hundumaa kudhan keessaa tokko isaaf kenne. Jalqabatti maqaan isaa, “Mootii qajeelummaa” jechuu dha; ergasii immoo, “Mootii Saalem” jechuunis, “Mootii nagaa” jechuu dha.
to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”,
3 Inni abbaa yookaan haadha hin qabu; hidda dhalootaas hin qabu; jalqaba guyyootaa yookaan dhuma jireenyaas hin qabu; inni akkuma Ilma Waaqaatti luba bara baraa taʼee jiraata.
without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
4 Egaa Abrahaam hangafni abbootii iyyuu erga waan boojiʼe irraa kudhan keessaa tokko isaaf kennee, Malkiiseedeq hammam guddaa akka taʼe mee ilaalaa!
Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
5 Ilmaan Lewwii warri luboota taʼan yoo obboloonni isaanii sanyii Abrahaam taʼan iyyuu namoota irraa jechuunis obbolootuma isaanii irraa kudhan keessaa tokko akka fudhatan seerri ni ajaja.
They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
6 Namichi sanyii isaanii irraa hin taʼin kun garuu Abrahaam isa waadaan galameef sana irraa kudhan keessaa tokko fudhatee isa eebbise.
but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
7 Inni xinnaan akka isa guddaadhaan eebbifamu shakkii hin qabu.
But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 Karaa tokkoon kudhan keessaa tokko namoota duʼa hin oolleen walitti qabama; karaa kaaniin immoo isa jiraataa taʼuun isaa dhugaa baʼameef sanaan walitti qabama.
Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
9 Lewwiin inni kudhan keessaa tokko walitti qabu mataan isaa iyyuu kudhan keessaa harka tokko karaa Abrahaamiitiin baaseera jechuun ni dandaʼama;
We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
10 Malkiiseedeq yommuu Abrahaamin simatetti Lewwiin mudhii abbaa ofii isaa keessa tureetii.
for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
11 Utuu sirni lubummaa Lewwii kan hirʼina hin qabne taʼee, silaa lubni biraa kan akka sirna lubummaa Aroonitti utuu hin taʼin lubni akka sirna lubummaa Malkiiseedeqitti filatame dhufuun isaa maaliif barbaachise ree? Seerri sirna lubummaa Lewwii kana irratti hundeeffamee sabaaf kennameetii.
Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 Yommuu lubummaan geeddaramu seerichis akkasuma geeddaramaatii.
For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
13 Inni wanni kun waaʼee isaa dubbatame sun gosti isaa kan biraa ti; gosa kana keessaas namni tokko iyyuu takkumaa iddoo aarsaa hin tajaajille.
For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
14 Gooftaan keenya akka sanyii Yihuudaa irraa dhalate beekamaadhaatii; Museenis gosa sana ilaalchisee waaʼee lubummaa homaa hin dubbanne.
For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15 Yommuu lubni akka Malkiiseedeqi kan biraa kaʼutti, wanni nu dubbanne sun ittuma caalee ifa taʼa;
This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
16 innis utuu ajaja fooniitiin hin taʼin humna jireenya hin badneetiin luba taʼe.
who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
17 Waaʼee isaas, “Akkuma sirna Malkiiseedeqitti, ati luba bara baraa ti” jedhamee dhugaa baʼameeraafiitii. (aiōn g165)
for it is testified, "You are a priest for the age (aiōn g165), according to the order of Melchizedek."
18 Ajajni duraa sun waan dadhabaa fi kan hin fayyadne tureef diigameera.
For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
19 Sababii seerri waanuma tokko illee kan mudaa hin qabne hin godhiniif abdiin caalu kan nu ittiin gara Waaqaatti dhiʼaannu tokko dhufeera.
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20 Kunis kakaa malee hin taane! Warri kaan immoo kakaa tokko malee luboota taʼan;
Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
21 inni garuu yeroo Waaqni, “Gooftaan, ‘Ati luba bara baraa ti’ jedhee kakateera; inni yaada isaa hin geeddaru” isaan jedhetti kakaadhaan luba taʼe. (aiōn g165)
(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest for the age (aiōn g165), according to the order of Melchizedek.'"
22 Yesuus sababii kakaa kanaatiif kakuu caaluuf wabii taʼeera.
By so much, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 Luboonni durii sababii duuti akka isaan tajaajila itti hin fufneef isaan dhowweef baayʼee turan;
Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
But he, because he lives for the age (aiōn g165), has his priesthood unchangeable.
25 Kanaaf inni yeroo hundumaa waan isaaniif kadhachuuf jiraatuuf warra karaa isaatiin gara Waaqaa dhufan guutumaan guutuutti fayyisuu ni dandaʼa.
Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
26 Egaa luba ol aanaa qulqulluu, kan mudaa hin qabne, kan xurii hin qabne, kan cubbamoota irraa adda taʼe, samii olittis kan kabajame akkasii qabaachuun nu barbaachisa.
For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Inni akka luboota ol aantota kaaniitti guyyuma guyyaan duraan dursee cubbuu ofii isaatiif, ergasii immoo cubbuu namootaatiif aarsaa dhiʼeessuun isa hin barbaachisu. Inni yommuu of kenne sanatti al tokko yeroo hundaaf cubbuu namootaatiif aarsaa dhiʼeesseeraatii.
who does not need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
28 Seerichi namoota dadhaboo, luboota ol aantota godhee muudaatii; dubbiin kakaa kan seera booddee dhufe garuu, Ilma Waaqaa isa bara baraan mudaa hin qabne sana muuda. (aiōn g165)
For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son for the age (aiōn g165) who has been perfected.
