< Hebrews 7 >

1 It was this Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and gave him his blessing;
Lele uluꞌ a, Melkisedek dadꞌi kota Salem manen. Eni o malangga agama soaꞌ neu atahori mana beꞌutee neu Lamatualain mana sia ata-ataꞌ a. Naran sosoan nae, “Mane Rala Ndoos”. Ma mane Salem a, sosoan, “Mane Dame”. Esa o nda nahine Melkisedek ia laoꞌ mia bee nema sa boe. Esa o nda nahine aman, inan, no bei-baꞌi nara sa. Nda rahine bꞌonggi e ma ana mate eni bee sa boe. Atahori rahineꞌ a eni, mane kota salem, ma malangga agama sia Lamatualain. Te ana onaꞌ Lamatualain Anan boe, huu eni o malangga agama mana nalalao nakandoo ue-tataon. Lao esa, hambu maneꞌ hira rema ro soldꞌadꞌu ra, fo rae rambas rala baꞌi Abraham nonoo nara sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara. Basa naa ma, baꞌi Abraham neu natati naꞌabꞌue no nonoo nara, losa rasenggiꞌ maneꞌ naa ra. Boe ma baꞌi Abraham se haꞌi rala baliꞌ basa sudꞌiꞌ a saa ra. Lele baꞌi Abraham lao bꞌaliꞌ, boe ma Melkisedek kalua mia kota Salem de neu soru e. Boe ma ana olaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu baꞌi Abraham nae, “Hela fo Lamatualain mana sia ata-ataꞌ a, fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ.” Basa naa ma, baꞌi Abraham banggi fee Melkisedek babꞌanggiꞌ sa mia babꞌanggiꞌ sanahulu, mia basa sudꞌiꞌ a saa fo ana rambas nala baliꞌ naa ra. Ana fee taꞌo naa, huu Melkisedek naa, malangga agama mia Lamatualain mana sia ata-ataꞌ a.
2 and it was to him that Abraham allotted a tithe of all the spoil. The meaning of his name is ‘king of righteousness,’ and besides that, he was also king of Salem, which means ‘king of peace.’
3 There is no record of his father, or mother, or lineage, nor again of any beginning of his days, or end of his life. In this he resembles the Son of God, and stands before us as a priest whose priesthood is continuous.
4 Consider, then the importance of this Melchizedek, to whom even the patriarch Abraham himself gave a tithe of the choicest spoils.
De duꞌa malolole soꞌal Melkisedek ia! Baꞌi Abraham banggi fee ne babꞌanggiꞌ esa mia babꞌanggiꞌ sanahulu mia basa sudꞌiꞌ a saa meulauꞌ, fo ana haꞌi nala baliꞌ ra. Dadꞌi matetun, Melkisedek naa, atahori moko-monaen boe.
5 Those descendants of Levi, who are from time to time appointed to the priesthood, are directed to collect tithes from the people in accordance with the Law – that is from their own kindred, although they also are descended from Abraham.
Tao-tao te leleꞌ naa, Lamatualain nda feꞌe soꞌu atahori fo dadꞌi malangga agama sa. Losa nala baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin Lewi, dei de Lamatualain soꞌu nala Harun no tititi-nonosi nara, dadꞌi malangga agama neu basa baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosi nara. Basa ma, losa Musa lelen, Lamatualain naꞌondaꞌ hohoro-lalaneꞌ nae, atahori mia leo Lewi naꞌena hak simbo babꞌanggiꞌ esa mia buna-bꞌoaꞌ babꞌanggiꞌ sanahuluꞌ mia toronoo leo Israꞌel laen ra.
6 But Melchizedek, although not of this lineage, received tithes from Abraham, and gave his blessing to the man who had God’s promises.
Te Melkisedek naa, nda Lewi tititi-nonosin sa. Onaꞌ naa o, baꞌi Abraham banggi fee ne babꞌanggiꞌ esa, mia babꞌanggiꞌ sanahulu, huu ana nae Melkisedek naa, atahori manaseliꞌ. Baꞌi Abraham pantin huu ana simbo nala hehelu-fufuliꞌ mia Lamatualain mana nae fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu e. Te onaꞌ naa o, Melkisedek mana olaꞌ papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fee Abraham nae, “Hela fo Lamatualain Mana Sia Ata-ataꞌ a, fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu nggo.”
7 Now no one can dispute that it is the superior who blesses the inferior.
Ia dadꞌi bukti oi, Melkisedek naa, atahori pantin lenaꞌ. Huu atahori mana olaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, memaꞌ pantin lenaꞌ atahori mana simbo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ a.
8 In the one case the tithes are received by people who are mortal; in the other case by one about whom there is the statement that his life still continues.
Basa malangga agama ra raꞌena hak fo simbo rala babꞌanggiꞌ esa mia babꞌanggiꞌ sanahulu. Te huu sira atahori raefafoꞌ, de dodꞌoo ma ara mate. Malangga agama Melkisedek o simbo babꞌanggiꞌ esa mia babꞌanggiꞌ sanahulu boe. Te ana nasodꞌa nakandoo, huu Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren nda dui nae, ana mate sa.
9 Moreover, in a sense, even Levi, who is the receiver of the tithes, has, through Abraham, paid tithes;
Huu baꞌi Abraham banggi fee Melkisedek sudꞌiꞌ a saa ra babꞌanggiꞌ esa mia babꞌanggiꞌ sanahulu, na, atahori bisa duꞌaꞌ rae, eni tanggon nala tititi-nonosin nda feꞌe mana bonggiꞌ a sa. No taꞌo naa, hita bisa tae ana bae memaꞌ tititi-nonosin Lewi babꞌanggin esa mia babꞌanggiꞌ sanahulu.
10 for Levi was still in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
11 If, then, perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood – and it was under this priesthood that the people received the Law – why was it still necessary that a priest of a different order should appear, a priest of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?
Leleꞌ Lewi tititi-nonosin nara dadꞌi malangga agama, Lamatuaꞌ pili baꞌi Musa aꞌan Harun, dadꞌi atahori kaesan mana dadꞌi malangga agama monaeꞌ mana sia ataꞌ lenaꞌ. Malangga agama ra ue-tataon nara, naeni ratudꞌu dalaꞌ fo atahori rasodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ, ma malole ro Lamatuaꞌ. Mae sira tao tungga basa hohoro-lalaneꞌ fo Musaꞌ simboꞌ ra o, malangga agama onaꞌ Harun nda bisa tao nameu se no matetuꞌ sa. Naa de ara parlu malangga agama laen, mana onaꞌ Melkisedek.
12 With the change of the priesthood a change of the Law became a necessity.
Te mete ma malangga agama mata feuꞌ nggati malangga agama mbaraaꞌ, na, musi nggati hohoro-lalane mbaraaꞌ ra boe.
13 And he of whom all this is said belonged to quite a different tribe, no member of which has ever served at the altar.
De manggareloꞌ ena, malangga agama mata feuꞌ naa, naeni Yesus. Te huu bonggi e mia leo laen, nda mia leo Lewi sa. Tungga baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen, malangga agama onaꞌ Harun, nema mia akaꞌ leo Lewi, nda bole mia leo laen sa.
14 For it is plain that our Lord had sprung from the tribe of Judah, though of that tribe Moses said nothing about their being priests.
Te basa atahori bubꞌuluꞌ rae, hita Malanggan Yesus Kristus bonggi E mia leo Yahuda. Tungga baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen, nda hambu malangga agama mia leo naa sa.
15 All this becomes even yet plainer when we remember that a new priest has appeared, resembling Melchizedek,
Te Lamatualain nda taoafiꞌ neu hohoro-lalaneꞌ mbaraaꞌ sa ena, huu ia na Yesus, dadꞌi malangga agama mata feuꞌ, onaꞌ Melkisedek.
16 and that he was appointed, not under a Law regulating only earthly matters, but by virtue of a life beyond the reach of death;
Huu tungga baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen, malangga agama mbaraaꞌ ra musi rema mia leo Lewi. Te Yesus nda nema mia leo naa sa. Onaꞌ naa o, Lamatualain soꞌu E dadꞌi malangga agama mata feuꞌ, huu Naꞌena koasa fo nasodꞌa nakandooꞌ a, ma nda hambu esa bisa tao nalutu E sa boe.
17 for that is the meaning of the declaration – ‘You are for all time a priest of the order of Melchizedek.’ (aiōn g165)
Huu Lamatualain Suraꞌ sia Susuran nae, “Ho dadꞌi malangga agama ona esaꞌ mo Melkisedek dalahuluꞌ a, te Ho dadꞌi malangga agama losa doo nduꞌu-doon neu.” (aiōn g165)
18 On the one hand, we have the abolition of a previous regulation as being both inefficient and useless
Sosoan nae, hohoro-lalane mbaraaꞌ nda naꞌena koasa fo tulu-fali atahori ra sa. Naeni de Lamatualain fee nggati hohoro-lalane mbaraaꞌ naa ra, fo dalahulun Ana fee neu baꞌi Musa.
19 (for the Law never brought anything to perfection); and, on the other hand, we have the introduction of a better hope, which enables us to draw near to God.
Huu onaꞌ mae atahori tao tungga hohoro-lalaneꞌ mbaraaꞌ ra o, ara feꞌe masala-kiluꞌ. Naa de ia na, Lamatuaꞌ soi dala maloleꞌ lenaꞌ, fo ata tasodꞌa to E no mole-dame.
20 Then again, the appointment of this new priest was ratified by an oath, which is not so with the Levitical priests,
21 but his appointment was ratified by an oath, when God said to him – ‘The Lord has sworn, and will not change, “You are a priest for all time.”’ (aiōn g165)
Dalahulun, leleꞌ Lamatualain soꞌu Lewi tititi-nonosin fo dadꞌi malangga agama, Ana nda helu-fuli ma sumba saa-saa no se sa boe. Te Leleꞌ Lamatualain soꞌu Yesus dadꞌi malangga agama, Ana helu-fuli nae, “Au ia, Lamatuaꞌ! Au sumba, Au nda ubꞌa saa fo Au helu-fuliꞌ a sa. Au soꞌu Nggo dadꞌi malangga agama, fo mulalao ue-tataom mukundondooꞌ a.” (aiōn g165)
22 And the oath shows the corresponding superiority of the covenant of which Jesus is appointed the surety.
No hehelu-fufulin taꞌo naa, Lamatualain pake Yesus dadꞌi totoꞌu-nonoet nae, Eni nau hengge-nee hehelu-fufuli malole lenaꞌ no nggita.
23 Again, new Levitical priests are continually being appointed, because death prevents their remaining in office;
Dalahulun, malangga agama mbaraaꞌ musi nggati se nekendooꞌ a, huu ara mate. Naeni de musi hambu malangga agama hetar.
24 but Jesus remains for all time, and therefore the priesthood that he holds will never pass to another. (aiōn g165)
Te Yesus naa, malangga agama mata feuꞌ sa mana nasodꞌa nakandoo, ma nalalao ue-tataon nakandooꞌ a. Naeni de nda parlu atahori nggati E sa. (aiōn g165)
25 And that is why he is able to save perfectly those who come to God through him, living for ever, as he does, to intercede of their behalf.
Huu naa, Yesus fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu basa atahori mana nau nema nisiꞌ Lamatualain tungga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus. Ana tao taꞌo naa losa doo nduꞌu-doon. Boe ma Ana dadꞌi sira atahori ume-isin mana soaꞌ a neu hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain fo tulu-fali se.
26 This was the high priest that we needed – holy, innocent, spotless, withdrawn from sinners, exalted above the highest heaven,
Yesus naa, malangga agama monaeꞌ mana sia ataꞌ lenaꞌ mana nandaa no nggita. Huu Eni, Atahori Meumareꞌ nda ma salaꞌ saa sa boe. Eni, nda onaꞌ atahori fo nahineꞌ a tao sala-kiluꞌ. Huu Lamatualain soꞌu nananaru E ena, lenaꞌ basa mana sia raefafoꞌ ma sia sorga.
27 one who has no need to offer sacrifices daily as those high priests have, first for their own sins, and then for those of the people. For this he did once and for all, when he offered himself as the sacrifice.
Naa de Yesus maloleꞌ lenaꞌ basa malangga agama mbaraaꞌ ra. Dalahulun, ara musi tunu-hotu banda tungga fai, naa fo Lamatualain fee ambon neu sala-kilu nara. Basa fo ara tao tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee atahori ra. Te Yesus nda parlu tao nasafafali taꞌo naa sa, huu Ana fee aon lao esaꞌ a fo dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Naa dai ena fo Lamatualain fee ambon neu basa atahori sala-kilu nara.
28 The Law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the words of God’s oath, which was later than the Law, name the Son as, for all time, the perfect priest. (aiōn g165)
Tungga baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen, ara soꞌu atahori raefafoꞌ biasa fo dadꞌi malangga agama. Te ara feꞌe raꞌena sala-kiluꞌ, naa de Lamatualain tao hehelu-fufuli feuꞌ nae, Eni nae soꞌu Anan fo dadꞌi neu malangga agama monaeꞌ mana sia ataꞌ lenaꞌ a. Huu Anan ia, tungga nakandoo Eni hihii-nanaun. (aiōn g165)
