Hebru 7
1 Khohni Pathen kah khosoih, Salem manghai Melkhizedek loh, manghai rhoek tloeknah lamkah aka bal Abraham te a doe tih a uem.
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2 A cungkuem lamkah parha ah pakhat te khaw Abraham loh anih a boe. Khatben ah lamhma la, duengnah manghai neh Salem manghai khaw a thuingaih coeng. Te tah ngaimongnah manghai ni.
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”,
3 Pamueh numueh, rhuirhong mueh, a khohnin a tongnah om pawt tih hingnah a bawtnah khaw khueh pawh. Tedae Pathen capa la om tih kumhal ah khosoih la naeh.
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.
4 Patuel Abraham long pataeng a kutbuem khuikah parha pakhat a paek atah anih khaw bahoeng len tila hmu uh.
Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
5 Levi ca rhoek long tah a khuikah khosoih te a dang. Olkhueng vanbangla pilnam taengah parha pakhat coi nah olpaek khaw a khueh uh. Tedae Abraham pumpu lamloh ha thoeng boeiloeih tih a manuca la om.
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,
6 Tedae amih kah rhuirhong mueh loh Abraham taengkah parha pakhat a doe tih olkhueh aka dang te a uem.
but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
7 Te dongah a then loh mathoe a uem te boeih pakainah moenih.
But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 Te vaengah hlang duek loh parha pakhat te a dang dae hing tila pahoi a phong pah.
Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
9 Te phoeiah olka a thui vanbangla Abraham lamlong ni Levi long khaw a doe parha pakhat te a dang.
We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
10 Melkhizedek loh anih a doe vaengah Levi he a napa kah a pumpu ah ni a om pueng.
for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
11 Levi khosoih lamloh hmakhahnah a om tangloeng atah pilnam loh amah soah ol a rhi coeng. Melkhizedek kah aitlaeng bangla a tloe khosoih aka phoe taengah banim a ngoe pueng? Aron kah aitlaeng bangla khue pawt nim?
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?
12 Khosoih bi te a thovael vaengah olkhueng kah thovaelnah khaw a kueknah om.
For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
13 Amah kawng a thui uh he khaw a tloe koca taengah cabol coeng. Te lamkah te tah hmueihtuk aka ngaithuen moenih.
For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
14 Te dongah mamih kah Boeipa te Judah lamkah ha thoeng te lohaa coeng. Tekah koca ham khosoih bi te Moses loh ana thui moenih.
For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15 Te phoeiah a cimphan la muep om pueng. Melkhizedek kah mueiloh bangla khosoih a tloe a phoe mak atah.
This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
16 Anih tah pumsa olpaek kah olkhueng dongah om pawt tih aka nguel hingnah kah thaomnah dongah ni a om.
who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
for it is testified, "You are a priest for the age (aiōn g165), according to the order of Melchizedek."
18 Olpaek lamhma he tattloel tih a hloo dongah a hnawt a khoe la poeh.
For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
19 Olkhueng loh soep sak pawt dae ngaiuepnah then ham rhoekbahnah la om. Te nen ni Pathen taengla n'yoei uh.
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20 Te tlam khaw olhlonah tal aih pawt dae, amih tah olhlonah om muehla khosoih a bi uh ngawn ta.
Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
21 Tedae te lamloh olhlonah neh amah te, “Boeipa loh a toemngam coeng dongah yut pawt tih kumhal duela na khosoih coeng,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
(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 for the age (aiōn g165), according to the order of Melchizedek.'"
22 Heyet lamlong tah Jesuh he paipi then kah rhi aka khang la om coeng.
By so much, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 Te vaengah aka nguel ham te duek loh a kanghalh dongah khosoih la aka om rhoek khaw muep lo uh.
Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
But he, because he lives for the age (aiōn g165), has his priesthood unchangeable.
25 Te dongah anih lamloh Pathen aka paan rhoek khuek a khang thai bal. A yoeyah la hing ham te amih yueng la huithui coeng.
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.
26 Tebang hlangcim, ommongsitoe, aka cuem, hlangtholh taeng lamloh aka hoep uh, vaan sang la aka om tah mamih kah khosoihham lam khaw rhoep tloe pai.
For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Anih tah khosoihham rhoek bangla a kueknah te hnin takuem a khueh moenih. Lamhma kah long tah amah kah tholhnah ham hmueih nawn. Te phoeikah rhoek ni pilnam ham pueng. Hekah long tah amah te bangtlang saii uh tih a nawn.
who does not 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.
28 Olkhueng loh vawtthoeknah aka om hlang te khosoihham la a tuek. Tedae olkhueng hnukah olhlonah ol loh capa te kumhal duela a soep sak coeng. (aiōn g165)
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 for the age (aiōn g165) who has been perfected.
