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 turning back from the striking 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 of all (first, indeed, being interpreted, “King of righteousness,” and then also, “King of Salem,” which is, 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, and having been 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.
And see how great this one [is], to whom Abraham the patriarch also gave a tenth out of the best of the spoils,
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.
and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, have a command to take tithes from the people according to the Law, that is, their brothers, even though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham;
6 Tedae amih kah rhuirhong mueh loh Abraham taengkah parha pakhat a doe tih olkhueh aka dang te a uem.
and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and he has blessed him having the promises,
7 Te dongah a then loh mathoe a uem te boeih pakainah moenih.
and apart from all controversy, the less is blessed by the better—
8 Te vaengah hlang duek loh parha pakhat te a dang dae hing tila pahoi a phong pah.
and here, indeed, men who die receive tithes, and there [he] who is testified to that he was living,
9 Te phoeiah olka a thui vanbangla Abraham lamlong ni Levi long khaw a doe parha pakhat te a dang.
and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving 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 loins of the 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?
If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood—for the people under it had received law—what further need, according to the order of Melchizedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?
12 Khosoih bi te a thovael vaengah olkhueng kah thovaelnah khaw a kueknah om.
For the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, a change comes of 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 in another tribe has had part, of whom no one gave attendance 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 out of Judah has arisen our Lord, in regard to 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.
And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to 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 did not come according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,
for He testifies, “You [are] a priest—throughout the age, according to the order of Melchizedek”; (aiōn g165)
18 Olpaek lamhma he tattloel tih a hloo dongah a hnawt a khoe la poeh.
for an annulling indeed comes of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness
19 Olkhueng loh soep sak pawt dae ngaiuepnah then ham rhoekbahnah la om. Te nen ni Pathen taengla n'yoei uh.
(for nothing did the Law perfect), and the 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.
And inasmuch as [it is] not apart from 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 those indeed apart from oath have become priests, and He [became priest] with an oath through Him who is saying to Him, “The LORD swore, and will not regret, You [are] a priest throughout the age, according to the order of Melchizedek”), (aiōn g165)
22 Heyet lamlong tah Jesuh he paipi then kah rhi aka khang la om coeng.
by so much also has Jesus become 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.
and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;
and He, because of His remaining throughout the age, has the inviolable priesthood, (aiōn g165)
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.
from where also He is able to save to the very end, those coming through Him to God—ever living 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 also such a Chief Priest was fitting for us—holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and having become 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 has no daily necessity, as the chief priests, to first offer up sacrifice for His own sins, then for those of the people; for this He did once, having 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] chief priests, having weakness, but the word of the oath that [is] after the Law [appoints] the Son having been perfected throughout the age. (aiōn g165)
