Hebrews 7
1 Nítorí Melkisedeki yìí, ọba Salẹmu, àlùfáà Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo, ẹni tí ó pàdé Abrahamu bí ó ti ń padà bọ̀ láti ibi pípa àwọn ọba, tí ó sì súre fún un,
For this Melchisedec--king of Salem, Priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,
2 ẹni tí Abrahamu sì pín ìdámẹ́wàá ohun gbogbo fún. Ní ọ̀nà èkínní orúkọ rẹ̀ túmọ̀ sí “ọba òdodo”; àti lẹ́yìn náà pẹ̀lú, “ọba Salẹmu,” tí í ṣe “ọba àlàáfíà.”
to whom Abraham imparted even a tenth of all; being, indeed, by interpretation, first, king of righteousness, and next, also, king of Salem; which, by interpretation, is king of peace--
3 Láìní baba, láìní ìyá, láìní ìtàn ìran, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ọjọ́ tàbí òpin ọjọ́ ayé; ṣùgbọ́n a ṣe é bí Ọmọ Ọlọ́run; ó wà ní àlùfáà títí.
was without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginnings of days, nor end of life: but, being made like the Son of God, he remains a priest continually.
4 Ǹjẹ́ ẹ gbà á rò bí ọkùnrin yìí ti pọ̀ tó, ẹni tí Abrahamu baba ńlá fi ìdámẹ́wàá nínú àwọn àṣàyàn ìkógun fún.
Now, consider how great this priest was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the spoils.
5 Àti nítòótọ́ àwọn tí ó jẹ́ ọmọ Lefi, tí o gba oyè àlùfáà, wọ́n ní àṣẹ láti máa gba ìdámẹ́wàá lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin, èyí yìí, lọ́wọ́ àwọn arákùnrin wọn, bí ó tilẹ̀ ti jẹ́ pé, wọn ti inú Abrahamu jáde.
For they, indeed, of the sons of Levi, who received the priesthood, have a commandment to tithe people according to the law; that is, their brethren, although they have come forth from the loins of Abraham:
6 Ṣùgbọ́n òun ẹni tí a kò tilẹ̀ pìtàn ìran rẹ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ wọn wá, gba ìdámẹ́wàá lọ́wọ́ Abrahamu, ó sì súre fún ẹni tí ó gba ìlérí,
but he, who did not derive his pedigree from their progenitors, tithed Abraham, and blessed the holder of the promises.
7 láìsí ìjiyàn rárá ẹni kò tó ẹni tí à ń súre fún láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó ju ni.
Now, beyond all contradiction, the less is blessed by the greater.
8 Ni apá kan, àwọn ẹni kíkú gba ìdámẹ́wàá; ṣùgbọ́n níbẹ̀, ẹni tí a jẹ́rìí rẹ̀ pé o ń bẹ láààyè nì.
Besides, here, indeed, men, who die, take tithes; but there one, of whom it is testified that he lives.
9 Àti bí a ti lè wí, Lefi pàápàá tí ń gba ìdámẹ́wàá, ti san ìdámẹ́wàá nípasẹ̀ Abrahamu.
And, as one may say, even Levi, who receives tithes, was tithed in Abraham:
10 Nítorí o sá à sì ń bẹ ní inú baba rẹ̀, nígbà ti Melkisedeki pàdé rẹ̀.
for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
11 Ǹjẹ́ ìbá ṣe pé pípé ń bẹ nípa oyè àlùfáà Lefi (nítorí pé lábẹ́ rẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn gba òfin), kín ni ó sì tún kù mọ́ tí àlùfáà mìíràn ìbá fi dìde ní títẹ̀lé àpẹẹrẹ tí Melkisedeki, tí a kò si wí pé ní títẹ̀lé àpẹẹrẹ tí Aaroni?
Moreover, if, indeed, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, (for with it the people received the law, ) what further need was there that another priest should arise, according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?
12 Nítorí pé bí a ti ń pààrọ̀ iṣẹ́ àlùfáà, a kò sì lè ṣàì máa pààrọ̀ òfin.
Wherefore, the priesthood being changed, there is, of necessity, a change also of law.
13 Nítorí ẹni tí à ń sọ̀rọ̀ nǹkan wọ̀nyí nípa rẹ̀ jẹ́ ẹ̀yà mìíràn, láti inú èyí tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò tì jọ́sìn rí níbi pẹpẹ.
For he to whom these things are said, was of a different tribe, of which no one gave attendance at the altar.
14 Nítorí ó hàn gbangba pé láti inú ẹ̀yà Juda ni Olúwa wa ti dìde; nípa ẹ̀yà yìí Mose kò sọ ohunkóhun ní ti àwọn àlùfáà.
For it is very plain that our Lord had sprung from Judah, in relation to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15 Ó sì tún hàn gbangba ju bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ bí ó ti jẹ pé àlùfáà mìíràn dìde ní àpẹẹrẹ ti Melkisedeki.
Moreover, it is still more plain that, according to the similitude of Melchisedec,
16 Èyí tí a fi jẹ́, kì í ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà òfin nípa ti ara, bí kò ṣe nípa agbára ti ìyè àìlópin.
another priest arises, who is made, not according to the law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.
For he testifies, "Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedec." (aiōn g165)
18 Nítorí a mú òfin ìṣáájú kúrò nítorí àìlera àti àìlérè rẹ̀.
Here then, there is a disannulling of the preceding commandment, because of its weakness and unprofitableness--
19 (Nítorí òfin kò mú ohunkóhun pé), a sì mú ìrètí tí ó dára jù wá nípa èyí tí àwa ń súnmọ́ Ọlọ́run.
(for the law made no one perfect) --and the superinduction of a better hope, by which we draw near to God.
20 Níwọ́n bí ó sì ti ṣe pé kì í ṣe ní àìbúra ni. Nítorí àwọn àlùfáà tẹ́lẹ̀ jẹ oyè láìsí ìbúra,
Moreover, inasmuch as not without an oath--
21 ṣùgbọ́n ti òun jẹ́ pẹ̀lú ìbúra nígbà tí Ọlọ́run wí fún un pé, “Olúwa búra, kí yóò sì yí padà: ‘Ìwọ ni àlùfáà kan títí láé.’” (aiōn g165)
(for they, indeed, were make priests without an oath, but he, with an oath, by him who said to him, "The Lord has sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedec,") (aiōn g165)
22 Níwọ́n bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jesu ti di onígbọ̀wọ́ májẹ̀mú tí ó dára jù.
by so much was Jesus made the surety of a better institution.
23 Àti nítòótọ́ àwọn púpọ̀ ní a ti fi jẹ àlùfáà, nítorí wọn kò lè wà títí nítorí ikú.
Besides, many, indeed, are made priests, because by death they are hindered from continuing:
but he, because he lives for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass from him. (aiōn g165)
25 Nítorí náà ó sì le gbà wọ́n là pẹ̀lú títí dé òpin, ẹni tí ó bá tọ Ọlọ́run wá nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀, nítorí tí o ń bẹ láààyè títí láé láti máa bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún wọn.
Hence, also, he is for able to save them who come to God through him; always living to make intercession for them.
26 Nítorí pé irú olórí àlùfáà bẹ́ẹ̀ ni o yẹ wá, mímọ́, àìlẹ́gàn, àìléèérí, tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ kúrò láàrín àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, tí a sì gbéga ju àwọn ọ̀run lọ.
Now such a High Priest became us; who, being holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens,
27 Ẹni tí kò ní láti máa rú ẹbọ lójoojúmọ́, bí àwọn olórí àlùfáà, fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ti ara rẹ̀ náà, àti lẹ́yìn náà fún tí àwọn ènìyàn; nítorí èyí ni tí ó ṣe lẹ́ẹ̀kan ṣoṣo, nígbà tí ó fi ara rẹ̀ rú ẹbọ.
has not, like the high priests, need, from time to time, to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins, then for those of the people; for this latter he did once, when he offered himself up.
28 Nítorí pé òfin a máa fi àwọn ènìyàn tí ó ní àìlera jẹ olórí àlùfáà; ṣùgbọ́n nípa ọ̀rọ̀ ti ìbúra, tí ó ṣe lẹ́yìn òfin, ó fi ọmọ jẹ; ẹni tí a sọ di pípé títí láé. (aiōn g165)
For the law constitutes men high priests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, constituted the Son, who is perfected for evermore. (aiōn g165)
