< Hebrews 7 >
1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, having met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, also 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 of all. Being actually translated, first, king of righteousness, and then also, king of Salem, which is 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 having been 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 And notice how great this man was, to whom also the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the best spoils.
ᎡᏣᏓᏅᏛᎵᎾᏗ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎠᏥᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᎤᏓᏬᏅᏛ ᎠᏰᎲ ᎤᏁᎸᎢ.
5 Now indeed those of the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have commandment to collect tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, although having come out of the loins 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 the man who did not descend from them has received tithes from Abraham, and has blessed the man having the promises.
ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎩᏂ Ꮎ ᎤᎾᏁᏢᏔᏅᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎵᏫ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ᏅᏧᏓᎴᏅᎲᎾ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᏚᏓᏂᎸᏤᎴ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ, ᎠᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎤᏁᏤᎴ ᎠᏚᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᏣᎦᎨᏅᏯ.
7 And without all contradiction the inferior is blessed by the superior.
ᎠᎴ ᏄᏜᏓᏏᏛᏒᎾ ᎡᏍᎦ ᎢᏯᏥᎸᏉᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎤᏁᏤᎰ ᎤᏟ ᎢᏯᏥᎸᏉᏗ.
8 And here indeed, men who die receive tithes, but there, he who is testified about that he lives.
ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂ ᏴᏫ ᏗᏂᏲᎱᏍᎩ ᏥᎩ ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᎢᎨᏥᏁᎰᎢ; ᎾᎿᎭᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᎩᏎᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎡᎭ ᎠᎪᏎᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ.
9 And, so to speak, Levi also, the man who receives tithes, has paid tithes through Abraham,
ᎠᎴ ᎯᎠᏉ ᏱᎾᎩᏪᏒ, ᎵᏫ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᏗᏓᏂᎸᎩ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᏍᎪᎯᏁ ᎪᏣᎴᏛ ᎤᎫᏴᎮ ᎾᎯᏳ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᎤᎫᏴᎲ.
10 for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
ᎠᏏᏉᏰᏃ ᎤᏙᏓ ᎠᏰᎸ ᎠᏯᎡᎢ ᎾᎯᏳ ᎹᎵᎩᏏᏕᎩ ᏥᏚᏠᏍᎨᎢ.
11 If indeed therefore perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people had received the law), what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to 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, of necessity a change of law also occurs.
ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎳᏍᏗᏰᏃ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏓᏁᏟᏴᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᏎ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎦᏁᏟᏴᏛ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, from which no man has attended to 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 arose out of Judah, regarding which tribe Moses spoke nothing about the priesthood.
ᎬᏂᎨᏒᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏧᏓ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᎲᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ ᎼᏏ ᎥᏝ ᏱᏚᏁᎢᏍᏔᏁ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎳᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ.
15 And it is still far more evident, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest,
ᎠᎴ ᎠᏏ ᎤᏟ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎺᎵᎩᏏᏕᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᏱᎦᎾᏄᎪᎦ,
16 who has become, not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indestructible life.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏥᎩ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᎾᎬᏁᎸ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᎬᏁᎸᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎬᏂᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᎵᏍᏆᏗᏍᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎤᎵᏂᎬᎬ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
17 For he testifies, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn )
ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᏂᎦᏪᎭ ᎧᏁᎬᎢ, ᎠᏥᎸᎮᎶᎯ ᎨᎭ ᏂᎪᎯᎸᎢ ᎺᎵᎩᏏᏕᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ. (aiōn )
18 For indeed there becomes an annulment of a preceding 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 fully perfect), and an introduction of a better hope, through which we approach 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 And inasmuch as it is not without an oath. For actually those who become priests are so without an oath,
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎᎵᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ [ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᎢᏯᎬᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ,]
21 but he with an oath, because of him who says to him, The Lord swore and will not change his mind, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn )
(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 )
22 By so much, Jesus has become the surety of a better covenant.
ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎤᎶᏒᏍᏗ ᏔᎵ ᎠᏛᏗᏍᎩ ᏫᎬᏁᎴ ᏥᏌ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏓᏠᎯᏍᏛᎢ.
23 And of course those who have become priests are more, because of being prevented to continue by death,
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎯᎠ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎠᏁᎶᎯ ᎤᏂᏣᏛᎩ, ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎪᎯᏛ ᎬᏩᎾᏕᏗ ᏱᎨᏎ ᎠᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ.
24 but he, because of his remaining into the age, has the priesthood unchangeable. (aiōn )
ᎯᎠᏍᎩᏂ [ᎠᏍᎦᏯ] ᎠᎵᏍᏆᏗᏍᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏤᎭ ᎤᎶᏏᎲᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ. (aiōn )
25 Whereupon he is able also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, being always alive in order to intercede on their behalf.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᏰᎵᏉ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏗᎬᏩᏍᏕᎸᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎬᏩᎷᎯᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏂᎷᏤᎲᎢ, ᏫᎾᏍᏛᎾᏰᏃ ᎡᎭ ᏧᎵᏍᏗᏰᏓᏁᏗᏱ.
26 For such a high priest is fitting for us, devout, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become 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 has no need to offer up sacrifices each day, as those high priests, first for his own sins, then for those of the people, for this he did, once, 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 high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath after the law, a Son who has been fully perfected into the age. (aiōn )
