Hebrearrei 7
1 Ecen Melchisedech haur cen Salemgo regue, Iainco subiranoaren Sacrificadore, cein bidera ilki içan baitzayón Abrahami haur reguén deseguitetic itzultzen cela, eta harc ceçan benedica:
Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of the Most High God. He met Abraham who was returning from defeating the kings and blessed him.
2 Hari hamarrena-ere gauça gucietaric parti cieçón Abrahamec: eta lehenic hura da interpretatzen iustitiazco regue, eta guero Salemgo regue-ere: cein erran nahi baita baquezco regue:
Abraham gave him a tithe of all that he had won. Melchizedek's name means “king of right” while king of Salem means “king of peace.”
3 Aita gabe, ama gabe, leinu gabe: eztuelaric egunén hatseric, ez vicitzearen finic: baina Iaincoaren Semearen irudico eguin içanic, dago Sacrificadore eternalqui.
We don't have any information about his father or his mother or his family tree. We don't know when he was born or when he died. Like the Son of God he continues as a priest forever.
4 Considera eçaçue bada cein handi eguin içan den haur, ceini Abraham patriarchac despuilletaco hamarrena-ere eman baitzieçón.
Think how great this man was for Abraham the patriarch to give him a tithe of what was won in battle.
5 Eta Leuiren semetaric diradenéc Sacrificadoregoa dutelaric, manua baduté populuaganic hamarrenaren hartzeco Leguearen arauez, erran nahi baita, bere anayetaric, Abrahamen guerruncetic ilki içan badirade-ere.
Yes, the sons of Levi who are priests were commanded by the law to receive a tithe from the people, their brothers and sisters, who are descended from Abraham.
6 Baina hec diraden leinu bereco contatzen eztenac, hamarrena hartu vkan du Abrahamganic, eta promessac cituena benedicatu vkan du.
But Melchizedek who doesn't share their ancestry received tithes from Abraham, and blessed the one who had God's promises.
7 Eta contradictioneric batre gabe chipién dena guehién denaz benedicatzen da.
There's no argument that the lesser person is blessed by the one who is greater.
8 Eta hemen hiltzen diraden guiçonec hamarrenac hartzen dituzté: baina han vici dela testimoniage duenac hartzen ditu.
In the one case tithes are received by men who die, but in the other by one who is said to be living.
9 Eta (hunela minça nadin) Abrahamtan detchematu içan da Leui bera-ere, ceinec hamarrenac hartzen ohi baititu.
So you could say that Levi, the one who receives tithes, has paid tithes through being a descendant of Abraham,
10 Ecen hura oraino bere aitaren guerruncean cen, Melchisedec Abrahami bidera ilki içan çayonean.
for he was yet to be born from his father when Melchizedek met Abraham.
11 Beraz baldin perfectionea Sacrificadoregoa Leuiticoan içan baliz (ecen populuac Leguea haren azpian recebitu vkan du) cer behar cen goitiric berce Sacrificadorebat Melchisedech-en façoinera altcha ledin, eta ezladin Aaronen façoinera erran?
Now if perfection could have been achieved through the priesthood of Levi (for that's how the law was received), what was the need for another priest to come following the order of Melchizedek, and not following the order of Aaron?
12 Ecen Sacrificadoregoaren officioa cambiatu içanic, necessario da Leguearen cambioa-ere eguin dadin.
If the priesthood is changed, then the law needs to be changed too.
13 Ecen gauça hauc norçaz erraiten baitirade hura berce leinuri appartenitzen çayó, cein leinutaric nehorc ezpaitu aldarea cerbitzatu vkan.
The one we're talking about comes from a different tribe, a tribe that has never provided priests to serve at the altar.
14 Ecen claro da Iudaren leinutic ilki içan dela gure Iauna, cein leinutan ezpaitu Moysesec Sacrificadoregoaz deus erran.
It's clear that our Lord is a descendant of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests coming from this tribe.
15 Eta are haur da claroago, ceren Melchisedech-en façoinera ilkiten baita berce Sacrificadorebat:
What makes it even clearer is when another priest appears who is similar to Melchizedek,
16 Cein ezpaita Sacrificadore eguin içan manamendu carnaleco Leguearen arauez, baina vicitze immortaleco puissançaren arauez.
and who didn't become a priest by virtue of his human ancestry but by the power of a life that cannot be ended.
17 Ecen testificatzen du hunela, Hi aiz Sacrificadore eternalqui Melchisedech-en façoinera. (aiōn g165)
That's why it says, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Ecen aitzineco manamendua abolitzen da bere debilitateagatic eta probetchu gabeagatic.
So the previous rule has been set aside because it was powerless and didn't work,
19 Ecen eztu deus perfectionetara eraman vkan Legueac: baina içan da sperança hobeagoren preparationebat ceinez hurbiltzen baicara Iaincoagana.
(for the law didn't make anything perfect). But now it's been replaced by a better hope by which we can come close to God.
20 Eta iuramendu gabe içan eztén becembatean (ecen berceac iuramendu gabe Sacrificadore eguin içan dirade.
This was not without an oath, even though those who become priests do so without an oath.
21 Baina haur iuramendurequin, hari erran vkan draucanaz, Iuratu vkan dic Iaunac, eta etziayóc doluturen, Hi aiz Sacrificadore eternalqui Melchisedech-en façoinera) (aiōn g165)
But he became a priest with an oath because God told him, “The Lord has taken a solemn vow and will not change his mind: You are a priest forever.” (aiōn g165)
22 Hambatenaz alliança hobeagoren fiadore eguin içan da Iesus.
This is how Jesus became the guarantee of an agreed relationship with God that is so much better.
23 Eta Sacrificadoréz den becembatean, anhitz eguin içan dirade, ceren herioaz empatchatzen baitziraden egoitera.
There have been many priests because death prevented them from being able to continue;
but since Jesus lives forever, his priesthood is permanent. (aiōn g165)
25 Eta halacotz salua-ere perfectoqui ahal ditzaque, harçaz Iaincoagana hurbiltzen diradenac, bethi vici delaric hecgatic ararteco içateco.
As a result he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, living always to plead their case on their behalf.
26 Ecen beharra guenduen halaco Sacrificadore subiranobat guenduen, saindua, innocenta, macularic gabea, bekatoretaric separatua, ceruäc baino gorago altchatua:
He is exactly the high priest we need: holy and without fault, pure and separate from sinners, and given a place in the highest heavens.
27 Ceinec ezluen beharric egun oroz, berce Sacrificadore subiranoéc beçala, lehenic bere bekatuacgatic sacrificioric offrendatu, guero populuarenacgatic: ecen haur behingoaz eguin vkan du bere buruä offrendaturic.
Unlike those human high priests, he doesn't need to offer a daily sacrifice for his sins and then the sins of the people. He did this once, and for everyone, when he offered himself.
28 Ecen Legueac Sacrificadore subirano ordenatzen ditu guiçon infirmoac: baina iuramenduco hitz Leguearen ondocoac, ordenatzen du Seme eternalqui sanctificatua. (aiōn g165)
The law appoints imperfect men as high priests, but God gave his solemn vow after the law, and appointed his Son, perfect forever. (aiōn g165)
