< Hebrews 7 >

1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎹᏓᎩᏏᏕᎩ, ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏎᏓᎽ, ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᎨᏎᎢ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏩᏍᏛ ᎦᎸᎳᏗ ᎡᎯ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᏥᏚᏠᏎ ᏧᏨᏏᏗᏒ ᏫᏚᎰᏅᎯ ᎤᏂᎬᏫᏳᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᏧᏁᏤᎴᎢ;
2 to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”,
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.
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
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.
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
ᎡᏣᏓᏅᏛᎵᎾᏗ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎠᏥᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᎤᏓᏬᏅᏛ ᎠᏰᎲ ᎤᏁᎸᎢ.
5 They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
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.
6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎩᏂ Ꮎ ᎤᎾᏁᏢᏔᏅᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎵᏫ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ᏅᏧᏓᎴᏅᎲᎾ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᏚᏓᏂᎸᏤᎴ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ, ᎠᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎤᏁᏤᎴ ᎠᏚᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᏣᎦᎨᏅᏯ.
7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
ᎠᎴ ᏄᏜᏓᏏᏛᏒᎾ ᎡᏍᎦ ᎢᏯᏥᎸᏉᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎤᏁᏤᎰ ᎤᏟ ᎢᏯᏥᎸᏉᏗ.
8 Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂ ᏴᏫ ᏗᏂᏲᎱᏍᎩ ᏥᎩ ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᎢᎨᏥᏁᎰᎢ; ᎾᎿᎭᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᎩᏎᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎡᎭ ᎠᎪᏎᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ.
9 We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
ᎠᎴ ᎯᎠᏉ ᏱᎾᎩᏪᏒ, ᎵᏫ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᏗᏓᏂᎸᎩ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᎤᎫᏴᎮ ᎾᎯᏳ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᎤᎫᏴᎲ.
10 for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
ᎠᏏᏉᏰᏃ ᎤᏙᏓ ᎠᏰᎸ ᎠᏯᎡᎢ ᎾᎯᏳ ᎹᎵᎩᏏᏕᎩ ᏥᏚᏠᏍᎨᎢ.
11 Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
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?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎳᏍᏗᏰᏃ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏓᏁᏟᏴᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᏎ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎦᏁᏟᏴᏛ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ.
13 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ Ꮎ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎠᏥᏁᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏣᏘᏂ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ᎨᎳ ᎨᏒᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ [ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ] ᎤᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎠᏥᎸᎨᎳᏍᏗᏱ ᏱᏚᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎮᎢ.
14 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
ᎬᏂᎨᏒᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏧᏓ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᎲᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ᎼᏏ ᎥᏝ ᏱᏚᏁᎢᏍᏔᏁ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎳᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ.
15 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
ᎠᎴ ᎠᏏ ᎤᏟ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎺᎵᎩᏏᏕᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᏱᎦᎾᏄᎪᎦ,
16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏥᎩ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᎾᎬᏁᎸ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᎬᏁᎸᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎬᏂᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᎵᏍᏆᏗᏍᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎤᎵᏂᎬᎬ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
17 for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᏂᎦᏪᎭ ᎧᏁᎬᎢ, ᎠᏥᎸᎮᎶᎯ ᎨᎭ ᏂᎪᎯᎸᎢ ᎺᎵᎩᏏᏕᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ. (aiōn g165)
18 For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏰᏃ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎢᎬᏁᎸᎯ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ ᎢᎬᏱᏱ ᎤᎵᏁᏨᎯ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ, ᎠᏩᏂᎦᎳᎯᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎬᏩᏓᏍᏕᎸᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ.
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎦᎷᎶᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎢᎬᏁᎯ ᏱᎨᏎ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ; ᎤᏟᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏝᏍᏛ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎬᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏴᏔᏂᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏛᏗᏍᎬ ᎾᎥ ᎦᏰᏗᎷᏤᏗ ᏥᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎦᎷᎶᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏂᎬᏁᎭ.
20 Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎᎵᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ [ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᎢᏯᎬᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ, ]
21 (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, “The Lord swore and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’” (aiōn g165)
( 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)
22 By so much, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎤᎶᏒᏍᏗ ᏔᎵ ᎠᏛᏗᏍᎩ ᏫᎬᏁᎴ ᏥᏌ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏓᏠᎯᏍᏛᎢ.
23 Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎯᎠ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎠᏁᎶᎯ ᎤᏂᏣᏛᎩ, ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎪᎯᏛ ᎬᏩᎾᏕᏗ ᏱᎨᏎ ᎠᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ.
24 But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable. (aiōn g165)
ᎯᎠᏍᎩᏂ [ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ] ᎠᎵᏍᏆᏗᏍᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏤᎭ ᎤᎶᏏᎲᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ. (aiōn g165)
25 Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᏰᎵᏉ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏗᎬᏩᏍᏕᎸᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎬᏩᎷᎯᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏂᎷᏤᎲᎢ, ᏫᎾᏍᏛᎾᏰᏃ ᎡᎭ ᏧᎵᏍᏗᏰᏓᏁᏗᏱ.
26 For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᎢᎩᎵᎶᎲᏍᎩ ᎨᏒᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᎦᏅᎾ, ᎤᏲ ᎢᎬᏩᏓᏛᏁᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎠᏍᎦᎾ ᏄᏓᏅᎦᎸᎾ, ᎠᏂᏍᎦᎾ ᎠᏁᎲ ᎠᎦᏓᏓᎴᏔᏅᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᎸᎶ ᎤᏗᏗᏢ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎠᏥᏌᎳᏓᏅᎯ;
27 who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
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.
28 For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son forever who has been perfected. (aiōn g165)
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)
