Hebreus 7
1 Porque este Melchisedec era rei de Salem, sacerdote do Deus Altissimo, o qual saiu ao encontro de Abrahão, quando elle regressava da matança dos reis, e o abençoou:
Now this Melchisedec was king of Salem, a priest of the most high God: and he met Abraham, when returning from the slaughter of the kings; and blessed him.
2 Ao qual tambem Abrahão deu o dizimo de tudo; e primeiramente interpreta-se rei de justiça, e depois tambem rei de Salem, que é rei de paz,
And to him Abraham imparted tithes of all that he had with him. Moreover his name is interpreted king of righteousness; and again he is called King of Salem, that is King of Peace.
3 Sem pae, sem mãe, sem genealogia, não tendo principio de dias nem fim de vida, mas sendo feito similhante ao Filho de Deus, permanece sacerdote para sempre:
Of whom neither his father nor his mother are written in the genealogies; nor the commencement of his days, nor the end of his life; but, after the likeness of the Son of God, his priesthood remaineth for ever.
4 Considerae pois quão grande era este, a quem até o patriarcha Abrahão deu os dizimos dos despojos.
And consider ye, how great he was; to whom the patriarch Abraham gave tithes and first-fruits.
5 E os que d'entre os filhos de Levi recebem o sacerdocio teem preceito, segundo a lei, de tomar o dizimo do povo, isto é, de seus irmãos, ainda que tenham saido dos lombos de Abrahão.
For they of the sons of Levi who received the priesthood, had a statute of the law, that they should take tithes from the people; they from their brethren, because they also are of the seed of Abraham.
6 Mas aquelle cuja genealogia não é contada entre elles tomou dizimos de Abrahão, e abençoou o que tinha as promessas.
But this man, who is not enrolled in their genealogies, took tithes from Abraham; and blessed him who had received the promise.
7 Ora, sem contradicção alguma, o menor é abençoado pelo maior.
But it is beyond controversy, that the inferior is blessed by his superior.
8 E aqui certamente tomam dizimos homens que morrem: ali, porém, aquelle de quem se testifica que vive.
And here, men who die, receive the tithes; but there he of whom the scripture testifieth that he liveth.
9 E, para assim dizer, tambem Levi, que toma os dizimos, foi dizimado em Abrahão.
And through Abraham, as one may say, even Levi who receiveth tithes, was himself tithed.
10 Porque ainda elle estava nos lombos do pae quando Melchisedec lhe saiu ao encontro.
For he was yet in the loins of his father, when he met Melchisedec.
11 De sorte que, se a perfeição fosse pelo sacerdocio levitico (porque debaixo d'elle o povo recebeu a lei), que necessidade havia logo de que outro sacerdote se levantasse, segundo a ordem de Melchisedec, e não fosse chamado segundo a ordem de Aarão?
If, therefore, perfection had been by means of the priesthood of the Levites, in which the law was enjoined on the people; why was another priest required, who should stand up after the likeness of Melchisedec? For it should have said, He shall be after the likeness of Aaron.
12 Porque, mudando-se o sacerdocio, necessariamente se faz tambem mudança da lei.
But as there is a change in the priesthood, so also is there a change in the law.
13 Porque aquelle de quem estas coisas se dizem pertence a outra tribu, da qual ninguem serviu ao altar,
For he of whom these things were spoken, was born of another tribe, of which no one ever ministered at the altar.
14 Visto ser manifesto que nosso Senhor procedeu de Judah, sobre a qual tribu nunca Moysés fallou de sacerdocio.
For it is manifest that our Lord arose from Judah, from a tribe of which Moses said nothing concerning a priesthood.
15 E muito mais manifesto é ainda se á similhança de Melchisedec se levantar outro sacerdote,
And moreover this is further manifest, from his saying that another priest will stand up, after the likeness of Melchisedec,
16 O qual não foi feito segundo a lei do mandamento carnal, mas segundo a virtude da vida incorruptivel.
who was not according to the law of corporeal injunctions, but according to the energy of an indissoluble life.
17 Porque assim testifica d'elle: Tu és sacerdote eternamente, segundo a ordem de Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
For he testified of him: Thou art a priest for ever, after the likeness of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
18 Porque o precedente mandamento abroga-se por causa da sua fraqueza e inutilidade
And the change which was made in the first statute, was on account of its impotency, and because their was no utility in it.
19 (Porque a lei nenhuma coisa aperfeiçoou) e a introducção de uma melhor esperança, pela qual chegamos a Deus.
For the law perfected nothing; but in the place of it there came in a hope, which is better than it, and by which we draw near to God.
20 E porquanto não foi feito sem juramento (porque certamente aquelles sem juramento foram feitos sacerdotes,
And he confirmed it to us by an oath.
21 Mas este com juramento, por aquelle que lhe disse: Jurou o Senhor, e não se arrependerá: Tu és sacerdote eternamente, segundo a ordem de Melchisedec), (aiōn g165)
For they became priests without an oath; but this man by an oath. As he said to him by David: The Lord hath sworn, and will not lie, Thou art a priest for ever, after the likeness of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
22 De tanto melhor concerto Jesus foi feito fiador.
By all this, is that a better covenant of which Jesus is the sponsor.
23 E, na verdade, aquelles foram feitos sacerdotes em grande numero, porquanto pela morte foram impedidos de permanecer,
And they as priests were numerous, because they were mortal, and were not permitted to continue:
but this man, because he standeth up for ever, his priesthood doth not pass away: (aiōn g165)
25 Portanto, pode tambem salvar perfeitamente aos que por elle se chegam a Deus, vivendo sempre para interceder por elles.
and he is able to vivify for ever, them who come to God by him; for he always liveth, and sendeth up prayers for them.
26 Porque nos convinha tal summo sacerdote, sancto, innocente, immaculado, separado dos peccadores, e feito mais sublime do que os céus;
For, a priest like to him, was also suitable for us; one pure, and without evil and without stain; one separated from sins, and exalted higher than heaven;
27 Que não necessitasse, como os summos sacerdotes, de offerecer cada dia sacrificios, primeiramente por seus proprios peccados, e depois pelos do povo; porque isto fez elle, uma vez, offerecendo-se a si mesmo.
and who is not obliged, every day, like the Aaronic high priest, to first offer sacrifices for his own sins, and then for the people; for this he did once, by offering up himself.
28 Porque a lei constitue summos sacerdotes a homens fracos, mas a palavra do juramento, que veiu depois da lei, constitue ao Filho, que para sempre foi aperfeiçoado. (aiōn g165)
For the law constituted feeble men priests; but the word of the oath, which was subsequent to the law constituted the Son perfect for ever. (aiōn g165)
