VaHebheru 7
1 Merikizedheki uyu aiva mambo weSaremu, uye aiva muprista waMwari Wokumusoro-soro. Akasangana naAbhurahama pakudzoka kwake achibva kundokunda madzimambo, akamuropafadza,
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 uye Abhurahama akamupa chegumi chezvinhu zvose. Kutanga zita rake rinoreva kuti, “mambo wokururama”; uyezve, “mambo weSaremu” zvinoreva kuti, “mambo woRugare.”
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 Asina baba kana mai, asina madzitateguru, asina mavambo amazuva kana magumo oupenyu, soMwanakomana waMwari anoramba ari muprista nokusingaperi.
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 Chingofungai kuti akanga ari mukuru sei. Kunyange natateguru Abhurahama akamupa chegumi chezvaakanga apamba!
Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
5 Zvino murayiro unoti avo vari zvizvarwa zvaRevhi vakava vaprista kuti vatore chegumi kuvanhu, idzo hama dzavo, kunyange zvazvo hama dzavo dziri zvizvarwa zvaAbhurahama.
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 Torah, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
6 Murume uyu, kunyange zvakadaro, akanga asina rudzi runobva pazvizvarwa zvaRevhi, asi akatora chegumi kubva kuna Abhurahama uye akaropafadza iye akanga ane zvipikirwa.
but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
7 Uye hapana kukahadzika kuti muduku anoropafadzwa neakamupfuura paukuru.
But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 Panyaya iyi yokutanga, chegumi chinotorwa navanhu vanofa; asi pane imwe nyaya iyi chinotorwa naiye anonzi mupenyu.
Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
9 Mumwe angati Revhi, anotora chegumi, akapawo chegumi kubudikidza naAbhurahama,
We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
10 nokuti Merikizedheki paakasangana naAbhurahama, Revhi akanga achiri muchiuno chatateguru vake.
for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
11 Kana kukwaniswa kwaigona kuvapo nenzira youprista hwaRevhi (nokuti vanhu vakapiwa murayiro nokuda kwahwo), ko, mumwe muprista aifanira kuzomuka sei, iye ari worudzi rwaMerikizedheki, asiri worudzi rwaAroni?
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 Nokuti kana uprista huchishandurwa, kunofanirawo kushandurwa murayiro.
For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
13 Iye anorehwa zvinhu izvi pamusoro pake ndeworumwe rudzi, uye hakuna mumwe worudzi urwu akamboshumira paaritari.
For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
14 Nokuti zviri pachena kuti Ishe wedu akabva kurudzi rwaJudha uye pamusoro porudzi urwu Mozisi haana kumbotaura zvavaprista.
For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15 Uye zvatataura zvinotova pachena kunyanya kana mumwe muprista akaita saMerikizedheki achionekwa,
This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
16 uyo ava muprista kwete nokuda kwomurayiro wenhoroondo yamadzitateguru ake asi nokuda kwesimba roupenyu husingaparadziki.
who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
17 Nokuti zvakataurwa zvichinzi: “Iwe uri muprista nokusingaperi, worudzi rwaMerikizedheki.” (aiōn g165)
for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Murau wokutanga wakaiswa padivi nokuti wakanga une utera uye usina maturo
For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
19 (nokuti murayiro hauna chinhu chawakaita kuti chive chakakwana), uye tariro iri nani inoziviswa, yatinoswededzwa nayo pedyo naMwari.
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20 Uye hazvina kuitwa pasina mhiko! Vamwe vakava vaprista pasina kana mhiko zvayo,
Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
21 asi iye akava muprista ane mhiko, Mwari paakati kwaari: “Ishe akapika uye haangashanduri murangariro wake: ‘Iwe uri muprista nokusingaperi.’” (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 forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’” (aiōn g165)
22 Nokuda kwemhiko yake, Jesu akava rubatso rwesungano inopfuura nokunaka.
By so much, Yeshua has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 Zvino kwakava navazhinji vavaprista, nokuti rufu rwakavatadzisa kupfuurira mberi paushumiri;
Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable. (aiōn g165)
25 Naizvozvo anogona kuponesa zvizere vaya vanouya kuna Mwari kubudikidza naye, nokuti anorarama nokusingaperi achivanyengeterera.
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 Muprista mukuru akadai anotipa zvatinoshayiwa, iye mutsvene, asina chaangapomerwa, asina kusvibiswa, akatsaurwa kubva kuvatadzi, akasimudzirwa pamusoro pamatenga.
For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Asingafanani navaya vaprista, haafaniri kubayira zvipiriso zuva rimwe nerimwe, kutanga pamusoro pezvivi zvake, pashure pamusoro pezvivi zvavanhu. Akabayira zvivi zvavo kamwe chete zvikapera paakazvipa iye.
who doesn’t 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 Nokuti murayiro unogadza vanhu vano utera savaprista vakuru; asi mhiko yakauya shure kwomurayiro, yakagadza Mwanakomana, uyo akakwaniswa nokusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
For the Torah appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son forever who has been perfected. (aiōn g165)
