VaHebheru 7
1 Nokuti Merikizedheki uyu, mambo weSaremi, mupristi waMwari Wekumusoro-soro, wakasangana naAbhurahama achidzoka kubva kunouraya madzimambo, ndokumuropafadza,
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 Abhurahama wakamugovera chegumi chezvese; iye pakutanga ari nekuturikirwa mambo wekururama, uye shure kweizvozvo mambo weSaremiwo, ndokuti mambo werugare;
to whom also Abraham divided "a tenth part of everything" (being first, by interpretation, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which 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 genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
4 Zvino rangarirai kuti mukuru sei uyu, teteguru Abhurahama vaakapawo chegumi chezvakapambiwa.
Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the most valuable plunder.
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;
They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the Law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
6 asi iye dzinza rake risina kuverengerwa kwavari wakagamuchira chegumi kuna Abhurahama, akamuropafadza iye wakange ane zvivimbiso.
but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
7 Zvino pasina kupikisa kwese, mudiki unoropafadzwa nemukuru.
But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 Uye pano vanhu vanofa vanogamuchira zvegumi; asi apo, anopupurirwa kuti mupenyu ndiye anogamuchira.
Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
9 Zvino, kunganzi, kubudikidza naAbhurahama Revhiwo anogamuchira zvegumi wakapa zvegumi;
We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
10 nokuti wakange achiri muchiuno chababa, apo Merikizedheki akamuchingamidza.
for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek 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?
Now if there was perfection 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 upristi huchishandurwa, zvinofanirawo kuti kuve neshanduko yemurairo.
For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
13 Nokuti iye anorehwa zvinhu izvi pamusoro pake ndewerumwe rudzi, rwakange rusina munhu wakashumira 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 wakamuka kuna Judha, rudzi Mozisi rwaasina kumbotaura pamusoro parwo maererano neupristi.
For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
15 Uye zvichiri pachena kwazvo kwazvo, kana kuchimuka umwe mupristi sewakatodzana naMerikizedheki,
This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
16 asina kuitwa nenzira yemurairo wekuraira kwenyama, asi nenzira yesimba reupenyu husingaparadziki.
who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
17 Nokuti anopupura achiti: Iwe uri mupristi nekusingaperi kubva kurudzi rwaMerikizedheki. (aiōn g165)
for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
18 Nokuti kuparadzwa kwemurairo wekutanga kwakavapo nekuda kweutera nekusabatsira kwawo;
For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
19 nokuti murairo hauna kupedzeredza chinhu, asi kutangiswa kwetariro iri nani kwakazviita, yatinoswedera nayo kuna Mwari.
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20 Uye zvaasina kuitwa pasina mhiko,
Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath,
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)
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 saizvozvo Jesu wakaitwa rubatso rwesungano inopfuura pakunaka.
Accordingly Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
23 Naivo zvirokwazvo vaiva vapristi vazhinji, nokuti vakadziviswa kugara nekuda kwerufu.
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 ane simbawo rekuponesa zvakakwana avo vanouya kuna Mwari nemaari, zvaanoraramira kuvareverera nekusingaperi.
Therefore he is also able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
26 Nokuti mupristi mukuru wakadaro ndiye wakatifanira, mutsvene, asina chakaipa, asina kusvibiswa, wakaparadzaniswa nevatadzi, wakakwidzwa kupfuura matenga;
For such a high priest was indeed fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 asingafaniri zuva nezuva, sevaya vapristi vakuru, kubaira chibairo pakutanga pamusoro pezvivi zvake pachake, pashure zvevanhu; nokuti wakaita izvozvi kamwe chete, paakazvibaira iye.
who does not need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
28 Nokuti murairo unogadza vanhu kuva vapristi vakuru, vane utera; asi shoko remhiko, rakatevera murairo, rinogadza Mwanakomana, wakakwana nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
For the Law 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)
