For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,
2 ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᏂᎦᏛ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗ ᎠᏰᎲ ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᏧᏁᎸᏁᎢ; ᎢᎬᏱᏱ ᎨᏒ [ ᏚᏙᎥ ] ᎠᏁᏢᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎢᏯᏛᏁᎯ ᎦᏛᎦ, ᎣᏂᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏎᎳᏂ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎠᎪᏎᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏅᏩᏙᎯᏯᏛ ᎤᏚᎵᏍᎩ ᏥᎦᏛᎦ.
And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;
3 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏤᏓ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏥ ᎾᏁᎲᎾ ᏥᎨᏎ, ᎤᎾᏁᏢᏔᏅᎯ ᎠᏂᏂᎩᏛ ᏥᎨᏎ, ᏚᎩᏨᏁᎬ ᏅᎫᏓᎴᏅᎲᎾ ᏥᎨᏎ, ᎠᎴ ᎡᎲ ᏭᏍᏗᏥᎯᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎨᏎᎢ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎾᏪᏥ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏥᎾᎬᏁᎴᎢ, ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᏤᎭ ᏂᎪᎯᎸᎢ.
Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.
4 ᎡᏣᏓᏅᏛᎵᎾᏗ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎠᏥᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᎤᏓᏬᏅᏛ ᎠᏰᎲ ᎤᏁᎸᎢ.
Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.
5 ᎠᎴ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯ ᎵᏫ ᏧᏪᏥ ᎠᏥᎸᎨᎳᏍᏗ ᏗᎦᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎨᏥᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ ᎨᎦᏒᎦᎸᏗᏍᎨ ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᏧᏂᏂᏢᏗᏱ ᏴᏫ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏂᎬᏅ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏟ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᏉ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᎠᏰᎵ ᏅᏓᏳᎾᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ.
And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham.
6 ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎩᏂ Ꮎ ᎤᎾᏁᏢᏔᏅᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎵᏫ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ᏅᏧᏓᎴᏅᎲᎾ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᏚᏓᏂᎸᏤᎴ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ, ᎠᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎤᏁᏤᎴ ᎠᏚᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᏣᎦᎨᏅᏯ.
But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.
7 ᎠᎴ ᏄᏜᏓᏏᏛᏒᎾ ᎡᏍᎦ ᎢᏯᏥᎸᏉᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎤᏁᏤᎰ ᎤᏟ ᎢᏯᏥᎸᏉᏗ.
But there is no doubt that the less gets his blessing from the greater.
8 ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂ ᏴᏫ ᏗᏂᏲᎱᏍᎩ ᏥᎩ ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᎢᎨᏥᏁᎰᎢ; ᎾᎿᎭᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᎩᏎᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎡᎭ ᎠᎪᏎᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ.
Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.
9 ᎠᎴ ᎯᎠᏉ ᏱᎾᎩᏪᏒ, ᎵᏫ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᏗᏓᏂᎸᎩ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᎤᎫᏴᎮ ᎾᎯᏳ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᎤᎫᏴᎲ.
And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;
10 ᎠᏏᏉᏰᏃ ᎤᏙᏓ ᎠᏰᎸ ᎠᏯᎡᎢ ᎾᎯᏳ ᎹᎵᎩᏏᏕᎩ ᏥᏚᏠᏍᎨᎢ.
Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.
11 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏥᎸᎨᎳᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏂᎵᏫ ᏥᎨᎦᏒᎦᎶᏕ, ᏅᏍᎦᏅᎾ ᎢᎬᏩᏓᏛᏁᏗ ᏱᎨᏎᎢ, ( ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎳᏍᏗᏰᏃ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᏚᎾᏚᏓᏖ ᏴᏫ ᎦᎾᏓᏂᎸᏨ ) ᎦᏙᏃ ᎠᏏ ᎤᏚᎸᏗ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᏍᎨ ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᎠᏥᎸᎨᎶᎯ ᎤᎾᏄᎪᎢᏍᏗᏱ ᎹᎵᎩᏏᏕᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ, ᎡᎳᏂᏃ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎦᏰᎪᏎᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ?
Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?
12 ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎳᏍᏗᏰᏃ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏓᏁᏟᏴᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᏎ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎦᏁᏟᏴᏛ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ.
Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.
13 ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ Ꮎ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎠᏥᏁᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏣᏘᏂ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ᎨᎳ ᎨᏒᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ [ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ] ᎤᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎠᏥᎸᎨᎳᏍᏗᏱ ᏱᏚᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎮᎢ.
For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.
14 ᎬᏂᎨᏒᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏧᏓ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᎲᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ᎼᏏ ᎥᏝ ᏱᏚᏁᎢᏍᏔᏁ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎳᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ.
Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.
15 ᎠᎴ ᎠᏏ ᎤᏟ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎺᎵᎩᏏᏕᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᏱᎦᎾᏄᎪᎦ,
And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,
16 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏥᎩ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᎾᎬᏁᎸ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᎬᏁᎸᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎬᏂᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᎵᏍᏆᏗᏍᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎤᎵᏂᎬᎬ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
That is to say, not made by a law based on the flesh, but by the power of a life without end:
For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
18 ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏰᏃ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎢᎬᏁᎸᎯ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ ᎢᎬᏱᏱ ᎤᎵᏁᏨᎯ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ, ᎠᏩᏂᎦᎳᎯᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎬᏩᏓᏍᏕᎸᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ.
So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.
19 ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎦᎷᎶᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎢᎬᏁᎯ ᏱᎨᏎ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ; ᎤᏟᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏝᏍᏛ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎬᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏴᏔᏂᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏛᏗᏍᎬ ᎾᎥ ᎦᏰᏗᎷᏤᏗ ᏥᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎦᎷᎶᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏂᎬᏁᎭ.
(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.
20 ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎᎵᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ [ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᎢᏯᎬᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ, ]
And as this is not without the taking of an oath
21 ( ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ Ꮎ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎠᏁᎶᎯ ᏂᎨᎬᏁᎮ ᎠᏎᎵᏔᏅᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ; ᎯᎠᏍᎩᏂ Ꮎ ᎠᏎᎵᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎬᏓᏁᎴᎢ, ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏪᏎᎸᎯ, ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎤᏎᎵᏔᏅ ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᎠᎦᏁᏟᏴᎾ ᏂᎯ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎮᎶᎯ ᏂᎪᎯᎸᎢ ᎺᎵᎩᏏᏕᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.) (aiōn g165)
(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever); (aiōn g165)
22 ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎤᎶᏒᏍᏗ ᏔᎵ ᎠᏛᏗᏍᎩ ᏫᎬᏁᎴ ᏥᏌ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏓᏠᎯᏍᏛᎢ.
By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.
23 ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎯᎠ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎠᏁᎶᎯ ᎤᏂᏣᏛᎩ, ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎪᎯᏛ ᎬᏩᎾᏕᏗ ᏱᎨᏎ ᎠᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ.
And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;
But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging. (aiōn g165)
25 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᏰᎵᏉ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏗᎬᏩᏍᏕᎸᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎬᏩᎷᎯᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏂᎷᏤᎲᎢ, ᏫᎾᏍᏛᎾᏰᏃ ᎡᎭ ᏧᎵᏍᏗᏰᏓᏁᏗᏱ.
So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.
26 ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᎢᎩᎵᎶᎲᏍᎩ ᎨᏒᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᎦᏅᎾ, ᎤᏲ ᎢᎬᏩᏓᏛᏁᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎠᏍᎦᎾ ᏄᏓᏅᎦᎸᎾ, ᎠᏂᏍᎦᎾ ᎠᏁᎲ ᎠᎦᏓᏓᎴᏔᏅᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᎸᎶ ᎤᏗᏗᏢ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎠᏥᏌᎳᏓᏅᎯ;
It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:
27 ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏚᎸᏗ ᏄᎵᏍᏓᏁᎲᎾ ᏂᏚᎩᏨᏂᏒ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎤᏪᎳᏍᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᎾᏛᏁᎲ ᏄᏂᎬᏫᏳᏌᏕᎩ ᎠᏥᎸᎠᏁᎶᎯ, ᎢᎬᏱ ᎤᏅᏒ ᎤᏂᏍᎦᏅᏨ ᎠᎫᏴᏙᏗ, ᎢᏉᏃ ᏴᏫ ᎤᏂᏍᎦᏅᏨ ᎠᎫᏴᏙᏗ; ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏌᏉ ᏄᏛᏁᎴᎢ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎤᏓᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅ.
Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.
28 ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗᏰᏃ ᏴᏫ ᏗᏂᏩᎾᎦᎳ ᏄᏂᎬᏫᏳᏒ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎠᏁᎶᎯ ᏄᏅᏁᎰᎢ; ᎧᏁᏨᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᏎᎵᏔᏅᎯ ᎠᏍᏓᏱᏗᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎤᎵᏁᏨ ᎣᏂ ᏧᎵᏁᏤᎢ, ᎤᏪᏥ [ ᎠᏥᎸᎨᎶᎯ ] ᏄᏩᏁᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎦᎷᎶᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ. (aiōn g165)
The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete. (aiōn g165)
