1 ଶାଲମସ୍ୟ ରାଜା ସର୍ୱ୍ୱୋପରିସ୍ଥସ୍ୟେଶ୍ୱରସ୍ୟ ଯାଜକଶ୍ଚ ସନ୍ ଯୋ ନୃପତୀନାଂ ମାରଣାତ୍ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟାଗତମ୍ ଇବ୍ରାହୀମଂ ସାକ୍ଷାତ୍କୃତ୍ୟାଶିଷଂ ଗଦିତୱାନ୍,
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 ଯସ୍ମୈ ଚେବ୍ରାହୀମ୍ ସର୍ୱ୍ୱଦ୍ରୱ୍ୟାଣାଂ ଦଶମାଂଶଂ ଦତ୍ତୱାନ୍ ସ ମଲ୍କୀଷେଦକ୍ ସ୍ୱନାମ୍ନୋଽର୍ଥେନ ପ୍ରଥମତୋ ଧର୍ମ୍ମରାଜଃ ପଶ୍ଚାତ୍ ଶାଲମସ୍ୟ ରାଜାର୍ଥତଃ ଶାନ୍ତିରାଜୋ ଭୱତି|
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 ଅପରଂ ତସ୍ୟ ପିତା ମାତା ୱଂଶସ୍ୟ ନିର୍ଣଯ ଆଯୁଷ ଆରମ୍ଭୋ ଜୀୱନସ୍ୟ ଶେଷଶ୍ଚୈତେଷାମ୍ ଅଭାୱୋ ଭୱତି, ଇତ୍ଥଂ ସ ଈଶ୍ୱରପୁତ୍ରସ୍ୟ ସଦୃଶୀକୃତଃ, ସ ତ୍ୱନନ୍ତକାଲଂ ଯାୱଦ୍ ଯାଜକସ୍ତିଷ୍ଠତି|
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 ଅତଏୱାସ୍ମାକଂ ପୂର୍ୱ୍ୱପୁରୁଷ ଇବ୍ରାହୀମ୍ ଯସ୍ମୈ ଲୁଠିତଦ୍ରୱ୍ୟାଣାଂ ଦଶମାଂଶଂ ଦତ୍ତୱାନ୍ ସ କୀଦୃକ୍ ମହାନ୍ ତଦ୍ ଆଲୋଚଯତ|
Consider, then the importance of this Melchizedek, to whom even the patriarch Abraham himself gave a tithe of the choicest spoils.
5 ଯାଜକତ୍ୱପ୍ରାପ୍ତା ଲେୱେଃ ସନ୍ତାନା ୱ୍ୟୱସ୍ଥାନୁସାରେଣ ଲୋକେଭ୍ୟୋଽର୍ଥତ ଇବ୍ରାହୀମୋ ଜାତେଭ୍ୟଃ ସ୍ୱୀଯଭ୍ରାତୃଭ୍ୟୋ ଦଶମାଂଶଗ୍ରହଣସ୍ୟାଦେଶଂ ଲବ୍ଧୱନ୍ତଃ|
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 କିନ୍ତ୍ୱସୌ ଯଦ୍ୟପି ତେଷାଂ ୱଂଶାତ୍ ନୋତ୍ପନ୍ନସ୍ତଥାପୀବ୍ରାହୀମୋ ଦଶମାଂଶଂ ଗୃହୀତୱାନ୍ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞାନାମ୍ ଅଧିକାରିଣମ୍ ଆଶିଷଂ ଗଦିତୱାଂଶ୍ଚ|
But Melchizedek, although not of this lineage, received tithes from Abraham, and gave his blessing to the man who had God’s promises.
7 ଅପରଂ ଯଃ ଶ୍ରେଯାନ୍ ସ କ୍ଷୁଦ୍ରତରାଯାଶିଷଂ ଦଦାତୀତ୍ୟତ୍ର କୋଽପି ସନ୍ଦେହୋ ନାସ୍ତି|
Now no one can dispute that it is the superior who blesses the inferior.
8 ଅପରମ୍ ଇଦାନୀଂ ଯେ ଦଶମାଂଶଂ ଗୃହ୍ଲନ୍ତି ତେ ମୃତ୍ୟୋରଧୀନା ମାନୱାଃ କିନ୍ତୁ ତଦାନୀଂ ଯୋ ଗୃହୀତୱାନ୍ ସ ଜୀୱତୀତିପ୍ରମାଣପ୍ରାପ୍ତଃ|
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 ଅପରଂ ଦଶମାଂଶଗ୍ରାହୀ ଲେୱିରପୀବ୍ରାହୀମ୍ଦ୍ୱାରା ଦଶମାଂଶଂ ଦତ୍ତୱାନ୍ ଏତଦପି କଥଯିତୁଂ ଶକ୍ୟତେ|
Moreover, in a sense, even Levi, who is the receiver of the tithes, has, through Abraham, paid tithes;
10 ଯତୋ ଯଦା ମଲ୍କୀଷେଦକ୍ ତସ୍ୟ ପିତରଂ ସାକ୍ଷାତ୍ କୃତୱାନ୍ ତଦାନୀଂ ସ ଲେୱିଃ ପିତୁରୁରସ୍ୟାସୀତ୍|
for Levi was still in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
11 ଅପରଂ ଯସ୍ୟ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧେ ଲୋକା ୱ୍ୟୱସ୍ଥାଂ ଲବ୍ଧୱନ୍ତସ୍ତେନ ଲେୱୀଯଯାଜକୱର୍ଗେଣ ଯଦି ସିଦ୍ଧିଃ ସମଭୱିଷ୍ୟତ୍ ତର୍ହି ହାରୋଣସ୍ୟ ଶ୍ରେଣ୍ୟା ମଧ୍ୟାଦ୍ ଯାଜକଂ ନ ନିରୂପ୍ୟେଶ୍ୱରେଣ ମଲ୍କୀଷେଦକଃ ଶ୍ରେଣ୍ୟା ମଧ୍ୟାଦ୍ ଅପରସ୍ୟୈକସ୍ୟ ଯାଜକସ୍ୟୋତ୍ଥାପନଂ କୁତ ଆୱଶ୍ୟକମ୍ ଅଭୱିଷ୍ୟତ୍?
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 ଯତୋ ଯାଜକୱର୍ଗସ୍ୟ ୱିନିମଯେନ ସୁତରାଂ ୱ୍ୟୱସ୍ଥାଯା ଅପି ୱିନିମଯୋ ଜାଯତେ|
With the change of the priesthood a change of the Law became a necessity.
13 ଅପରଞ୍ଚ ତଦ୍ ୱାକ୍ୟଂ ଯସ୍ୟୋଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟଂ ସୋଽପରେଣ ୱଂଶେନ ସଂଯୁକ୍ତାଽସ୍ତି ତସ୍ୟ ୱଂଶସ୍ୟ ଚ କୋଽପି କଦାପି ୱେଦ୍ୟାଃ କର୍ମ୍ମ ନ କୃତୱାନ୍|
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 ୱସ୍ତୁତସ୍ତୁ ଯଂ ୱଂଶମଧି ମୂସା ଯାଜକତ୍ୱସ୍ୟୈକାଂ କଥାମପି ନ କଥିତୱାନ୍ ତସ୍ମିନ୍ ଯିହୂଦାୱଂଶେଽସ୍ମାକଂ ପ୍ରଭୁ ର୍ଜନ୍ମ ଗୃହୀତୱାନ୍ ଇତି ସୁସ୍ପଷ୍ଟଂ|
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 ତସ୍ୟ ସ୍ପଷ୍ଟତରମ୍ ଅପରଂ ପ୍ରମାଣମିଦଂ ଯତ୍ ମଲ୍କୀଷେଦକଃ ସାଦୃଶ୍ୟୱତାପରେଣ ତାଦୃଶେନ ଯାଜକେନୋଦେତୱ୍ୟଂ,
All this becomes even yet plainer when we remember that a new priest has appeared, resembling Melchizedek,
16 ଯସ୍ୟ ନିରୂପଣଂ ଶରୀରସମ୍ବନ୍ଧୀଯୱିଧିଯୁକ୍ତଯା ୱ୍ୟୱସ୍ଥାଯା ନ ଭୱତି କିନ୍ତ୍ୱକ୍ଷଯଜୀୱନଯୁକ୍ତଯା ଶକ୍ତ୍ୟା ଭୱତି|
and that he was appointed, not under a Law regulating only earthly matters, but by virtue of a life beyond the reach of death;
for that is the meaning of the declaration – ‘You are for all time a priest of the order of Melchizedek.’ (aiōn g165)
18 ଅନେନାଗ୍ରୱର୍ତ୍ତିନୋ ୱିଧେ ଦୁର୍ବ୍ବଲତାଯା ନିଷ୍ଫଲତାଯାଶ୍ଚ ହେତୋରର୍ଥତୋ ୱ୍ୟୱସ୍ଥଯା କିମପି ସିଦ୍ଧଂ ନ ଜାତମିତିହେତୋସ୍ତସ୍ୟ ଲୋପୋ ଭୱତି|
On the one hand, we have the abolition of a previous regulation as being both inefficient and useless
19 ଯଯା ଚ ୱଯମ୍ ଈଶ୍ୱରସ୍ୟ ନିକଟୱର୍ତ୍ତିନୋ ଭୱାମ ଏତାଦୃଶୀ ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠପ୍ରତ୍ୟାଶା ସଂସ୍ଥାପ୍ୟତେ|
(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 ଅପରଂ ଯୀଶୁଃ ଶପଥଂ ୱିନା ନ ନିଯୁକ୍ତସ୍ତସ୍ମାଦପି ସ ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠନିଯମସ୍ୟ ମଧ୍ୟସ୍ଥୋ ଜାତଃ|
Then again, the appointment of this new priest was ratified by an oath, which is not so with the Levitical priests,
21 ଯତସ୍ତେ ଶପଥଂ ୱିନା ଯାଜକା ଜାତାଃ କିନ୍ତ୍ୱସୌ ଶପଥେନ ଜାତଃ ଯତଃ ସ ଇଦମୁକ୍ତଃ, ଯଥା,
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 "ପରମେଶ ଇଦଂ ଶେପେ ନ ଚ ତସ୍ମାନ୍ନିୱର୍ତ୍ସ୍ୟତେ| ତ୍ୱଂ ମଲ୍କୀଷେଦକଃ ଶ୍ରେଣ୍ୟାଂ ଯାଜକୋଽସି ସଦାତନଃ| " (aiōn g165)
And the oath shows the corresponding superiority of the covenant of which Jesus is appointed the surety.
23 ତେ ଚ ବହୱୋ ଯାଜକା ଅଭୱନ୍ ଯତସ୍ତେ ମୃତ୍ୟୁନା ନିତ୍ୟସ୍ଥାଯିତ୍ୱାତ୍ ନିୱାରିତାଃ,
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 ତତୋ ହେତୋ ର୍ୟେ ମାନୱାସ୍ତେନେଶ୍ୱରସ୍ୟ ସନ୍ନିଧିଂ ଗଚ୍ଛନ୍ତି ତାନ୍ ସ ଶେଷଂ ଯାୱତ୍ ପରିତ୍ରାତୁଂ ଶକ୍ନୋତି ଯତସ୍ତେଷାଂ କୃତେ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନାଂ କର୍ତ୍ତୁଂ ସ ସତତଂ ଜୀୱତି|
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 ଅପରମ୍ ଅସ୍ମାକଂ ତାଦୃଶମହାଯାଜକସ୍ୟ ପ୍ରଯୋଜନମାସୀଦ୍ ଯଃ ପୱିତ୍ରୋ ଽହିଂସକୋ ନିଷ୍କଲଙ୍କଃ ପାପିଭ୍ୟୋ ଭିନ୍ନଃ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗାଦପ୍ୟୁଚ୍ଚୀକୃତଶ୍ଚ ସ୍ୟାତ୍|
This was the high priest that we needed – holy, innocent, spotless, withdrawn from sinners, exalted above the highest heaven,
27 ଅପରଂ ମହାଯାଜକାନାଂ ଯଥା ତଥା ତସ୍ୟ ପ୍ରତିଦିନଂ ପ୍ରଥମଂ ସ୍ୱପାପାନାଂ କୃତେ ତତଃ ପରଂ ଲୋକାନାଂ ପାପାନାଂ କୃତେ ବଲିଦାନସ୍ୟ ପ୍ରଯୋଜନଂ ନାସ୍ତି ଯତ ଆତ୍ମବଲିଦାନଂ କୃତ୍ୱା ତଦ୍ ଏକକୃତ୍ୱସ୍ତେନ ସମ୍ପାଦିତଂ|
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 ଯତୋ ୱ୍ୟୱସ୍ଥଯା ଯେ ମହାଯାଜକା ନିରୂପ୍ୟନ୍ତେ ତେ ଦୌର୍ବ୍ବଲ୍ୟଯୁକ୍ତା ମାନୱାଃ କିନ୍ତୁ ୱ୍ୟୱସ୍ଥାତଃ ପରଂ ଶପଥଯୁକ୍ତେନ ୱାକ୍ୟେନ ଯୋ ମହାଯାଜକୋ ନିରୂପିତଃ ସୋ ଽନନ୍ତକାଲାର୍ଥଂ ସିଦ୍ଧଃ ପୁତ୍ର ଏୱ| (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)
