VaHebheru 7
1 Nokuti Merikizedheki uyu, mambo weSaremi, mupristi waMwari Wekumusoro-soro, wakasangana naAbhurahama achidzoka kubva kunouraya madzimambo, ndokumuropafadza,
For this Melchi-sedec was King of Salem, the Priest of the most high God, who met Abraham, as he returned from the slaughter of the Kings, and blessed him:
2 Abhurahama wakamugovera chegumi chezvese; iye pakutanga ari nekuturikirwa mambo wekururama, uye shure kweizvozvo mambo weSaremiwo, ndokuti mambo werugare;
To whom also Abraham gaue the tithe of all things: who first is by interpretation King of righteousnes: after that, he is also King of Salem, that is, King of peace,
3 asina baba, asina mai, asina dzinza, asina mavambo amazuva, kana kuguma kweupenyu, asi wakafananidzwa neMwanakomana waMwari, anogara ari mupristi nekusingaperi.
Without father, without mother, without kinred, and hath neither beginning of his dayes, neither ende of life: but is likened vnto the Sonne of God, and continueth a Priest for euer.
4 Zvino rangarirai kuti mukuru sei uyu, teteguru Abhurahama vaakapawo chegumi chezvakapambiwa.
Nowe consider how great this man was, vnto whome euen the Patriarke Abraham gaue the tithe of the spoyles.
5 Zvino zvirokwazvo avo vanobva kuvanakomana VaRevhi vakagamuchira basa reupristi vane murairo wekutora chegumi kuvanhu zvichienderana nemurairo, ndiko kuti kuhama dzavo, kunyange vakabva muchiuno chaAbhurahama;
For verely they which are the childre of Leui, which receiue the office of the Priesthode, haue a commandement to take, according to the Law, tithes of the people (that is, of their bethren) though they came out of ye loynes of Abraham.
6 asi iye dzinza rake risina kuverengerwa kwavari wakagamuchira chegumi kuna Abhurahama, akamuropafadza iye wakange ane zvivimbiso.
But he whose kindred is not couted among them, receiued tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7 Zvino pasina kupikisa kwese, mudiki unoropafadzwa nemukuru.
And without all contradiction the lesse is blessed of the greater.
8 Uye pano vanhu vanofa vanogamuchira zvegumi; asi apo, anopupurirwa kuti mupenyu ndiye anogamuchira.
And here men that die, receiue tithes: but there he receiueth them, of whome it is witnessed, that he liueth.
9 Zvino, kunganzi, kubudikidza naAbhurahama Revhiwo anogamuchira zvegumi wakapa zvegumi;
And to say as the thing is, Leui also which receiueth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 nokuti wakange achiri muchiuno chababa, apo Merikizedheki akamuchingamidza.
For hee was yet in the loynes of his father Abraham, when Melchi-sedec met him.
11 Naizvozvo, kana kupedzeredzwa kwaivapo neupristi hwaRevhi (nokuti pasi pahwo vanhu rwakapiwa murairo), ko umwe mupristi waifanira kuzomukirei kubva kurudzi rwaMerikizedheki, uye asingaidzwi werudzi rwaAroni?
If therefore perfection had bene by the Priesthoode of the Leuites (for vnder it the Lawe was established to the people) what needed it furthermore, that another Priest should rise after the order of Melchi-sedec, and not to be called after the order of Aaron?
12 Nokuti kana upristi huchishandurwa, zvinofanirawo kuti kuve neshanduko yemurairo.
For if the Priesthood be changed, then of necessitie must there be a change of the Lawe.
13 Nokuti iye anorehwa zvinhu izvi pamusoro pake ndewerumwe rudzi, rwakange rusina munhu wakashumira paaritari.
For hee of whome these things are spoken, perteineth vnto another tribe, whereof no man serued at the altar.
14 Nokuti zviri pachena kuti Ishe wedu wakamuka kuna Judha, rudzi Mozisi rwaasina kumbotaura pamusoro parwo maererano neupristi.
For it is euident, that our Lord sprung out of Iuda, concerning the which tribe Moses spake nothing, touching the Priesthood.
15 Uye zvichiri pachena kwazvo kwazvo, kana kuchimuka umwe mupristi sewakatodzana naMerikizedheki,
And it is yet a more euident thing, because that after the similitude of Melchi-sedec, there is risen vp another Priest,
16 asina kuitwa nenzira yemurairo wekuraira kwenyama, asi nenzira yesimba reupenyu husingaparadziki.
Which is not made Priest after the Law of the carnal commandement, but after the power of the endlesse life.
17 Nokuti anopupura achiti: Iwe uri mupristi nekusingaperi kubva kurudzi rwaMerikizedheki. (aiōn g165)
For hee testifieth thus, Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchi-sedec. (aiōn g165)
18 Nokuti kuparadzwa kwemurairo wekutanga kwakavapo nekuda kweutera nekusabatsira kwawo;
For the commandement that went afore, is disanulled, because of the weakenes thereof, and vnprofitablenes.
19 nokuti murairo hauna kupedzeredza chinhu, asi kutangiswa kwetariro iri nani kwakazviita, yatinoswedera nayo kuna Mwari.
For the Law made nothing perfite, but the bringing in of a better hope made perfite, whereby we drawe neere vnto God.
20 Uye zvaasina kuitwa pasina mhiko,
And for as much as it is not without an othe (for these are made Priestes without an othe:
21 (nokuti ivo vakava vapristi pasina mhiko, asi iye nemhiko, kubudikidza naiye wakati kwaari: Ishe wakapika uye haangazvidembi achiti: Iwe uri mupristi nekusingaperi kubva kurudzi rwaMerikizedheki); (aiōn g165)
But this is made with an othe by him that said vnto him, The Lord hath sworne, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchi-sedec) (aiōn g165)
22 saizvozvo Jesu wakaitwa rubatso rwesungano inopfuura pakunaka.
By so much is Iesus made a suretie of a better Testament.
23 Naivo zvirokwazvo vaiva vapristi vazhinji, nokuti vakadziviswa kugara nekuda kwerufu.
And among them many were made Priests, because they were not suffered to endure, by the reason of death.
But this man, because hee endureth euer, hath a Priesthood, which cannot passe from one to another. (aiōn g165)
25 Naizvozvo ane simbawo rekuponesa zvakakwana avo vanouya kuna Mwari nemaari, zvaanoraramira kuvareverera nekusingaperi.
Wherefore, hee is able also perfectly to saue them that come vnto God by him, seeing he euer liueth, to make intercession for them.
26 Nokuti mupristi mukuru wakadaro ndiye wakatifanira, mutsvene, asina chakaipa, asina kusvibiswa, wakaparadzaniswa nevatadzi, wakakwidzwa kupfuura matenga;
For such an hie Priest it became vs to haue, which is holy, harmelesse, vndefiled, separate from sinners, and made hier then the heauens:
27 asingafaniri zuva nezuva, sevaya vapristi vakuru, kubaira chibairo pakutanga pamusoro pezvivi zvake pachake, pashure zvevanhu; nokuti wakaita izvozvi kamwe chete, paakazvibaira iye.
Which needeth not daily as those hie Priests to offer vp sacrifice, first for his owne sinnes, and then for the peoples: for that did he once, when he offered vp himselfe.
28 Nokuti murairo unogadza vanhu kuva vapristi vakuru, vane utera; asi shoko remhiko, rakatevera murairo, rinogadza Mwanakomana, wakakwana nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
For the Law maketh men hie Priestes, which haue infirmitie: but the word of the othe that was since the Lawe, maketh the Sonne, who is consecrated for euermore. (aiōn g165)
