Bhaebrania 7
1 Ehaliesho o Melkizedeki, omwana wa Salemu, Odimi wa Ngolobhe yali mwanya, yakhomene no Abrahamu afumile abhahude amwene wasaya.
It was this Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and gave him his blessing;
2 Abrahamu apiye umo esehemu yakumi kila hantu hali afyolele itawa lyakwe “O Melkizedeki” emaana yakwe” omwene owelyoli” nantele “mwene owa Salemu” yalimwene owatenganu.”
and it was to him that Abraham allotted a tithe of all the spoil. The meaning of his name is ‘king of righteousness,’ and besides that, he was also king of Salem, which means ‘king of peace.’
3 Sagali no Baba, sagalinamaye, sagalinapafi, saliwahwande owisiku wala owamalezye okhalo gwakwe. Badala yakwe asagala dimi wewila, nashi omwana wa Ngolobhe.
There is no record of his father, or mother, or lineage, nor again of any beginning of his days, or end of his life. In this he resembles the Son of God, and stands before us as a priest whose priesthood is continuous.
4 Eshi sebhelele omntu ono sahali gosi. Opafi wetu o Abrahamu apie evintu vyakumi evinza vya ejile wibho.
Consider, then the importance of this Melchizedek, to whom even the patriarch Abraham himself gave a tithe of the choicest spoils.
5 Lyoli, eshikholo sha Bhalawi bhabhaposheye, ehofesiezya dimi bhaline ndajizyo afume hushelia abhonganye emohukumi afume whabhantu abhawa Izraeli amwabho, pamoja aje abhene nantele. Nantele shikholo afumewha Abrahamu.
Those descendants of Levi, who are from time to time appointed to the priesthood, are directed to collect tithes from the people in accordance with the Law – that is from their own kindred, although they also are descended from Abraham.
6 Lelo Omelkizedeki, yashele sgali shikholo shabho, afume wa Bhalawi, aposheye emoeyakumi afume wha Abrahamu nawasaya omwene yali no lusobhezo.
But Melchizedek, although not of this lineage, received tithes from Abraham, and gave his blessing to the man who had God’s promises.
7 Hepo sepakhanwa aje omntu ododo asaywa no gosi.
Now no one can dispute that it is the superior who blesses the inferior.
8 Whijambeli omntu aposhela emo hukumi abhafwe isikulimo, lelo wijambo elya mwabho omo yaposheye emo eya kumi, wha Abrahamu yayangwa sekhala.
In the one case the tithes are received by people who are mortal; in the other case by one about whom there is the statement that his life still continues.
9 Eshamana ayanje, oLawi yaposheye emoeya kumi nantele asombile, emoyakumi wha Abrahamu,
Moreover, in a sense, even Levi, who is the receiver of the tithes, has, through Abraham, paid tithes;
10 afwatanaje oLawi alimsana wa baba wakwe, oAbrahamu wakhatiowa Melkizedeki nakhomene no Abramu.
for Levi was still in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
11 Eshi nkashe whawezehene ashilile wakuhani wa Lawi, (pansiyakwe abhantu bhaposhela endajizyo), whali awhanzeshi sana whakuhani owenje abhoshe yali mfano wa Melkizedeki, sio akwiziwe apanjilile wa Haruni?
If, then, perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood – and it was under this priesthood that the people received the Law – why was it still necessary that a priest of a different order should appear, a priest of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?
12 Eshi owudimi kashele ugaluhane, sepalini lazima esheliya yape agaluhane.
With the change of the priesthood a change of the Law became a necessity.
13 Gamogaga mambo ega gayangwilwe gagali makabela aganje, afume mwamwene nomoyalongwilwe pashiputo.
And he of whom all this is said belonged to quite a different tribe, no member of which has ever served at the altar.
14 Eshi pigule aje Ogosi wetu afumile Yuda elyaje oMusa saga aliyanjile ahusu adimi.
For it is plain that our Lord had sprung from the tribe of Judah, though of that tribe Moses said nothing about their being priests.
15 Ega gatiyanga mazi hasa nkashele odimi uwenje abhabhoneshe yalengene nashi Melkizedeki.
All this becomes even yet plainer when we remember that a new priest has appeared, resembling Melchizedek,
16 Odimi ono opya sagali omoyali dimi widala elyendajizyo zyazihusiana ne shikholo shamntu, lelo humsingi owe nguvu yekhalo gashelesegawezizye ananchishe.
and that he was appointed, not under a Law regulating only earthly matters, but by virtue of a life beyond the reach of death;
17 Esho ensimbo zilombelela ayanje omwene: “Awe ulidimi wila nashi ofwano wa Melkizedeki.” (aiōn g165)
for that is the meaning of the declaration – ‘You are for all time a priest of the order of Melchizedek.’ (aiōn g165)
18 Whahuje indajizyo yehatangulie ehabhewhelwe panshenje afwatanaje alibhinu sawhanziwa.
On the one hand, we have the abolition of a previous regulation as being both inefficient and useless
19 Esho endajizyo sagaehabhombile lya lyonti eshi kamilifu. Pesho whali odandamazu owinza eshi tihuzubhilila Ongolobhe.
(for the Law never brought anything to perfection); and, on the other hand, we have the introduction of a better hope, which enables us to draw near to God.
20 Naodandamu obhu ogwinza segwabhoneshe bila guyanje, endapo wheli adimi abhinji sagabhalapile endapo shashonti.
Then again, the appointment of this new priest was ratified by an oath, which is not so with the Levitical priests,
21 Lelo Ongolobhe ahejile endapo nayangaga ahusu oYesu, “Ogosi alapile sagaabhadilisye ensebho zyakwe.' awe dimi hani (aiōn g165)
but his appointment was ratified by an oath, when God said to him – ‘The Lord has sworn, and will not change, “You are a priest for all time.”’ (aiōn g165)
22 Nantele oYesu ayenzele ajeabhe zamana yeagano bora.
And the oath shows the corresponding superiority of the covenant of which Jesus is appointed the surety.
23 Lyoli efwa eziga adimi aje bhagaje dime wila. Ilifwatanaje bhali hale adimi abhinji awhandeomo nantele owamwabho.
Again, new Levitical priests are continually being appointed, because death prevents their remaining in office;
but Jesus remains for all time, and therefore the priesthood that he holds will never pass to another. (aiōn g165)
25 Nantele omwene awezya ogolosu amalezezye abhaule bhabhahumweteha Ongolobhe ashilile afwatane omwene akalahani nalapute whabhene.
And that is why he is able to save perfectly those who come to God through him, living for ever, as he does, to intercede of their behalf.
26 Esho odimi ogosi oweshi ahwanziwa huliti yasagali nembibhi sagali nenongwa zelu ayepilehwa bhibhi, alimwanya ashile emwanya.
This was the high priest that we needed – holy, innocent, spotless, withdrawn from sinners, exalted above the highest heaven,
27 Omwene yali nagahwanze nashi adimi ogosi, afumie ilumbuko ensiku zyonti kwanza humbibhi zyakwe mwenyewe.
one who has no need to offer sacrifices daily as those high priests have, first for their own sins, and then for those of the people. For this he did once and for all, when he offered himself as the sacrifice.
28 Hundajizyo bhabhewha abhante bhabhali abha bhinu abhebhadimi agosi lakini izuelye shilapo, lyalyahenzele sesele endajizo abheshele oMwana, yabhewelwe abhemtakatifu owawila. (aiōn g165)
The Law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the words of God’s oath, which was later than the Law, name the Son as, for all time, the perfect priest. (aiōn g165)
