Hepelū 7
1 He ko e Melikiseteke ni, ko e tuʻi ʻo Salema, ko e taulaʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, ʻaia naʻe fakafetaulaki kia ʻEpalahame ʻi heʻene liu mai mei he tāmateʻi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi, pea ne tāpuaki ia;
Hic enim Melchisedech, rex Salem, sacerdos Dei summi, qui obviavit Abrahæ regresso a cæde regum, et benedixit ei:
2 ʻAia ne ʻatu ki ai foki ʻe ʻEpalahame hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē; ko e ʻuluaki ʻuhinga [ʻo hono hingoa ]“ko e Tuʻi ʻoe māʻoniʻoni,” pea ko e Tuʻi ʻo Salema, ʻa ia, “ko e Tuʻi ʻoe fiemālie;”
cui et decimas omnium divisit Abraham: primum quidem qui interpretatur rex justitiæ: deinde autem et rex Salem, quod est, rex pacis,
3 Taʻehaʻanetamai, taʻehaʻanefaʻē, taʻehanohohoko, kuo ʻikai ha kamataʻanga ʻo hono ngaahi ʻaho, pe ha ngataʻanga ʻo ʻene moʻui; ka kuo tatau mo e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua; pea nofo ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo lauikuonga.
sine patre, sine matre, sine genealogia, neque initium dierum, neque finem vitæ habens, assimilatus autem Filio Dei, manet sacerdos in perpetuum.
4 Ko eni, ke tokanga ki hono lahi ʻoe tangata ni, ʻaia naʻe ʻatu ki ai ʻe he muʻaki tamai ko ʻEpalahame hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe koloa ʻi he vete.
Intuemini autem quantus sit hic, cui et decimas dedit de præcipuis Abraham patriarcha.
5 Pea ko e moʻoni ko kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Livai, ʻoku maʻu ʻae ngaue fakataulaʻeiki, ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻae fekau ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ke toʻo hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe meʻa mei he kakai, ʻio, mei honau kāinga, neongo ko e tupu foki ʻakinautolu mei he sino ʻo ʻEpalahame:
Et quidem de filiis Levi sacerdotium accipientes, mandatum habent decimas sumere a populo secundum legem, id est, a fratribus suis: quamquam et ipsi exierint de lumbis Abrahæ.
6 Ka ko ia ʻoku ʻikai lau hono hohoko meiate kinautolu, ne maʻu ʻe ia hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe meʻa mei ʻa ʻEpalahame, mo ne tāpuaki ia ʻaia naʻe ʻaʻana ʻae ngaahi talaʻofa.
Cujus autem generatio non annumeratur in eis, decimas sumpsit ab Abraham, et hunc, qui habebat repromissiones, benedixit.
7 Pea ko e moʻoni taʻehakikihi ki ai, ʻoku tāpuakiʻi ʻe he lahi hake ʻae siʻi hifo.
Sine ulla autem contradictione, quod minus est, a meliore benedicitur.
8 Pea ʻoku maʻu ʻi heni ʻe he kau tangata ʻoku [hokohoko ]mate pe hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe meʻa; kae ʻi hena ʻe ia ʻoku fakamoʻoni ki ai ʻoku moʻui ai pe.
Et hic quidem, decimas morientes homines accipiunt: ibi autem contestatur, quia vivit.
9 Pea hangē ka pehē ʻeku lea, ko Livai foki, ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe meʻa, naʻe ʻatu ʻe ia hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ia ʻEpalahame:
Et (ut ita dictum sit) per Abraham, et Levi, qui decimas accepit, decimatus est:
10 He naʻe kei ʻi he sino ʻo ʻene tamai ia, ʻi he ʻena fetaulaki mo Melekiseteki.
adhuc enim in lumbis patris erat, quando obviavit ei Melchisedech.
11 Ko ia ka ne ai ha haohaoa ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Livai, (he naʻe maʻu ai ʻe he kakai ʻae fono, ) ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻoe fokotuʻu mo e taulaʻeiki ʻe taha ʻi he lakanga ʻo Melekiseteki, kae ʻikai ui ʻi he lakanga ʻo ʻElone?
Si ergo consummatio per sacerdotium Leviticum erat (populus enim sub ipso legem accepit) quid adhuc necessarium fuit secundum ordinem Melchisedech, alium surgere sacerdotem, et non secundum ordinem Aaron dici?
12 He ko e meʻa ʻi he fetongi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, ʻoku totonu ai foki ke fetongi mo e fono.
Translato enim sacerdotio, necesse est ut et legis translatio fiat.
13 He ko ia ʻoku leaʻaki ki ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻoku ʻi he faʻahinga ʻe taha, pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha mei ai ʻe ngaue ʻi he ʻesifeilaulau.
In quo enim hæc dicuntur, de alia tribu est, de qua nullus altari præsto fuit.
14 He kuo ha moʻoni naʻe tupu ʻa hotau ʻEiki meia Siuta; ʻae faʻahinga ko ia naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke lea ki ai ʻa Mōsese ki he ngaue fakataulaʻeiki.
Manifestum est enim quod ex Juda ortus sit Dominus noster: in qua tribu nihil de sacerdotibus Moyses locutus est.
15 Kae muʻa hake eni foki: koeʻuhi kuo fokotuʻu ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻe taha ʻo fakatatau mo Melekiseteki,
Et amplius adhuc manifestum est: si secundum similitudinem Melchisedech exsurgat alius sacerdos,
16 ʻAia ʻoku fakanofo, kae ʻikai hangē ko e tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe fekau fakakakano, kae fakatatau ki he mālohi ʻoe moʻui taʻengata.
qui non secundum legem mandati carnalis factus est, sed secundum virtutem vitæ insolubilis.
17 He ʻoku ne fakapatonu mai, “Ko e taulaʻeiki koe ʻo lauikuonga ʻi he lakanga ʻo Melekiseteki.” (aiōn g165)
Contestatur enim: Quoniam tu es sacerdos in æternum, secundum ordinem Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)
18 He ʻoku ai moʻoni hono fakangata ʻoe fekau naʻe muʻomuʻa, koeʻuhi ko hono vaivai mo hono taʻeʻaonga.
Reprobatio quidem fit præcedentis mandati, propter infirmitatem ejus, et inutilitatem:
19 He naʻe ʻikai fakahaohaoa ʻe he fono ha meʻa e taha, ka ko e fakahoko pe ʻoe ʻamanaki lelei; ʻaia ʻoku tau ʻunuʻunu atu ai ki he ʻOtua.
nihil enim ad perfectum adduxit lex: introductio vero melioris spei, per quam proximamus ad Deum.
20 Pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai pehē ia ka ʻi he fuakava:
Et quantum est non sine jurejurando (alii quidem sine jurejurando sacerdotes facti sunt,
21 (He naʻe ngaohi ʻakinautolu koe kau taulaʻeiki taʻeha fuakava; ka ko ia ʻi he fuakava ʻiate ia naʻa ne pehē ki ai, “Kuo fuakava ʻe he ʻEiki, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne liliu, Ko e taulaʻeiki koe ʻo lauikuonga ʻi he lakanga ʻo Melekiseteki:”) (aiōn g165)
hic autem cum jurejurando per eum, qui dixit ad illum: Juravit Dominus, et non pœnitebit eum: tu es sacerdos in æternum): (aiōn g165)
22 Kuo pehē hono lelei lahi hake ʻoe fakapapau ʻoe hoko ʻa Sisu ko e fakalaloa.
in tantum melioris testamenti sponsor factus est Jesus.
23 Pea ko e moʻoni, naʻa nau tokolahi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, he naʻe ʻikai ke tuku fuoloa ʻakinautolu ko e meʻa ʻi he mate:
Et alii quidem plures facti sunt sacerdotes, idcirco quod morte prohiberentur permanere:
24 Ka ko e tangata ni, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene tolonga ʻo taʻengata, kuo maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ngaue fakataulaʻeiki ʻoku taʻeliliu. (aiōn g165)
hic autem eo quod maneat in æternum, sempiternum habet sacerdotium. (aiōn g165)
25 Ko ia foki ʻoku ne faʻa fai ai ke fakamoʻui haohaoa ʻakinautolu ʻoku haʻu ki he ʻOtua ʻiate ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene moʻui maʻuaipē ke hūfakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
Unde et salvare in perpetuum potest accedentes per semetipsum ad Deum: semper vivens ad interpellandum pro nobis.
26 He naʻe taau mo kitautolu ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki pehē, ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, taʻehaʻanekovi, pea taʻeʻuli, pea mavahe mei he kau angahala, pea fakamāʻolunga hake ʻi he ngaahi langi;
Talis enim decebat ut nobis esset pontifex, sanctus, innocens, impollutus, segregatus a peccatoribus, et excelsior cælis factus:
27 ʻAia naʻe ʻikai ke ne hangē ko e kau taulaʻeiki lahi ko ia, ke ne tomuʻa feilaulau ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko ʻene angahala ʻaʻana, pea toki [fai ]koeʻuhi ko e kakai: he naʻe fai ia ʻe ia ʻo tuʻo taha pe, ʻi heʻene ʻohake ʻe ia ia.
qui non habet necessitatem quotidie, quemadmodum sacerdotes, prius pro suis delictis hostias offerre, deinde pro populi: hoc enim fecit semel, seipsum offerendo.
28 He ʻoku ngaohi ʻe he fono ke taulaʻeiki lahi ʻae kau tangata ʻoku vaivai; ka ʻoku fakanofo ʻae ʻAlo, ʻaia kuo fakahaohaoa ʻo taʻengata ʻe he lea ʻoe fuakava naʻe ki mui ʻi he fono. (aiōn g165)
Lex enim homines constituit sacerdotes infirmitatem habentes: sermo autem jurisjurandi, qui post legem est, Filium in æternum perfectum. (aiōn g165)
