Ibraniyawa 7
1 Amere Malkisadak une, Ugon Salem, upirist udiya Kutelle unan kitine kani, ulenge na awa zurro nin Ibrahim mme na awa kpillin unuzu nmolusu nagowe, atina ata nghe nmari.
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 Ibrahim wa nighe likure nanya nimon ilenge na awa bollu, lisame “Malkisadak” nnufi “ugu usheu.
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 A wandi sa ucif, sa unah, na awa dinin nankah ba, na awadi nin nayirin ncizinu ba, sa ayiri nimalin, nin nanere awa lawa upirist sa ligan nafo gono Kutelle.
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 Nene yenen imusin ngbardang na unit une di, ame kah bite Ibrahim was ni likure nanyan nimon icine na awa yiru kiti likume.
Think how great this man was for Abraham the patriarch to give him a tithe of what was won in battle.
5 Nin kidegenere, likuran Levi wa seru kutyin npirist iwa ni uduke kiti nanit, kiti nadon mine ana Isiraila, nin nani inug wang likura ri unuzun Ibrahim.
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 Bara Malkisadak, ame na a wandi likura unuzu Levi ba, wa seru uzakka kiti Ibrahim, awa tinghe nmari, ame ulenge na adinin likawale.
But Melchizedek who doesn't share their ancestry received tithes from Abraham, and blessed the one who had God's promises.
7 na nari duku ba, nworu unit ubene nase nmari kiti nnit udiya.
There's no argument that the lesser person is blessed by the one who is greater.
8 Nanya nanere annit alenge na idin sesu uzukka iba kuzu nlonliri, nanya nkon kusari inug alenge na ina seru uzakka Ibrahim in woro inunghere anan nlai.
In the one case tithes are received by men who die, but in the other by one who is said to be living.
9 nin nanya umon uliru, Levi, ame wa seru uzakka tutung awa biya kiti Ibrahim.
So you could say that Levi, the one who receives tithes, has paid tithes through being a descendant of Abraham,
10 Bara Levi wandi kidowon nkah mere Ibrahim, kubi na Malkisadak wa zurro Ibrahim Ku.
for he was yet to be born from his father when Melchizedek met Abraham.
11 Nene andi ndedei nso nani, unuzu likuran Levi upirist (bara kadas nin unit nsere uduka) iyaghari nin du nbun upiziru nmon upirist fita kimal nbellun Malkisadak, a na iba ninghe lissan Haruna ba.
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 Bara kubi na iba saku upirist, uduke wang ba saku tutun.
If the priesthood is changed, then the law needs to be changed too.
13 Bara ame ulenge na iwa bellin kitene me, ame di nlon lukara ugan, na umon mine na su katuwa nprist ba,
The one we're talking about comes from a different tribe, a tribe that has never provided priests to serve at the altar.
14 nene ushaidari nworu ciklari bite, na nuzu likuran Yahuda, likura longo na Musa wa bellin imomon kiti mmine nbellen npirist ba.
It's clear that our Lord is a descendant of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests coming from this tribe.
15 Bara ille imon na tibelle idi fong, nene asa umon upirist nfita nanya nkama Malkisadak.
What makes it even clearer is when another priest appears who is similar to Melchizedek,
16 Ame ulenge upirist upese, na amere ulle na abada so upirist nnuzu nduka na udi nniit ba, bara nani unuzu nanya likara nanya nlai unsalin nnanu.
and who didn't become a priest by virtue of his human ancestry but by the power of a life that cannot be ended.
That's why it says, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Bara uduka unkatuwe ina ceo unin kusari, bara usali likara nin diru ampani.
So the previous rule has been set aside because it was powerless and didn't work,
19 Na uduka nsa uta imon dedei ba, bara nani, tidi nin nciu kibinayi bara ubun, unuzu nle na ti din dasu kupo Kutelle.
(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 Bara na ulenge uti kibinai nse sa usu nisilin ba, na alenge apirist na su isilin ba.
This was not without an oath, even though those who become priests do so without an oath.
21 Ame Kutelle wa su isillin kubi na awa bellin kitene Kristi “cikilari wa sillo na aba saki kibinai me ba, fe upiristari sa ligan.” (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 Nind nanere Yisa na da so uyinnu nin likawali acine.
This is how Jesus became the guarantee of an agreed relationship with God that is so much better.
23 Vat nani ukul na wanti upirist usu katuwa sa ligan, unere nta tidinin na pirist gbardang, ulle udu nalenge.
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 Bara nani awasa amalizina utucu nalenge na ida kupo Kutelle unuzu kitime, bara ame sosin ko kome kubi ana fo acara bara inughe.
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 Bara imusin nleli upirist idia tidi nin suwe bara arike, na adinin kulapi ba, usali nimon inanzan, ulau ina kosoghe na nan kulapi, amini na da so unan nbun kitene kani.
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 Ame ndira imomon ba, nafo among apirist adidiawe na iba ni ugutunu nmyi ko lome liri, asa atu ana bara kulapi me, anin na bara aalipi nanite, Ame wa su nani urume cas, kubi na awa ni litime.
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 Bara uduka wa fere annit anan nsali nagang iso apirist, bara ligbulang nisilin, longo na liwa dak kimal nduka, ifere gono, ulenge na awa di dedei sa ligan. (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)
