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 Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, 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 gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, 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 descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth 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, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
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.
And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins 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 descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7 Inni xinnaan akka isa guddaadhaan eebbifamu shakkii hin qabu.
And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
8 Karaa tokkoon kudhan keessaa tokko namoota duʼa hin oolleen walitti qabama; karaa kaaniin immoo isa jiraataa taʼuun isaa dhugaa baʼameef sanaan walitti qabama.
And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
9 Lewwiin inni kudhan keessaa tokko walitti qabu mataan isaa iyyuu kudhan keessaa harka tokko karaa Abrahaamiitiin baaseera jechuun ni dandaʼama;
And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 Malkiiseedeq yommuu Abrahaamin simatetti Lewwiin mudhii abbaa ofii isaa keessa tureetii.
For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec 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.
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law, ) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 Yommuu lubummaan geeddaramu seerichis akkasuma geeddaramaatii.
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of 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 spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance 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 sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15 Yommuu lubni akka Malkiiseedeqi kan biraa kaʼutti, wanni nu dubbanne sun ittuma caalee ifa taʼa;
And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
16 innis utuu ajaja fooniitiin hin taʼin humna jireenya hin badneetiin luba taʼe.
Who is made, not after the law of a carnal 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 he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
18 Ajajni duraa sun waan dadhabaa fi kan hin fayyadne tureef diigameera.
For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
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, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
20 Kunis kakaa malee hin taane! Warri kaan immoo kakaa tokko malee luboota taʼan;
And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
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 those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec: ) (aiōn g165)
22 Yesuus sababii kakaa kanaatiif kakuu caaluuf wabii taʼeera.
By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
23 Luboonni durii sababii duuti akka isaan tajaajila itti hin fufneef isaan dhowweef baayʼee turan;
And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. (aiōn g165)
25 Kanaaf inni yeroo hundumaa waan isaaniif kadhachuuf jiraatuuf warra karaa isaatiin gara Waaqaa dhufan guutumaan guutuutti fayyisuu ni dandaʼa.
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth 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 an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate 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 needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, 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 maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. (aiōn g165)
