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.
This Melchisedech kynge of Salem (which beinge prest of ye most hye god met Abraham as he returned agayne from the slaughter of the kynges and blessed him:
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,
to whom also Abraham gave tythes of all thynges) fyrst is by interpretacion kynge of rightewesnes: after yt he is kynge of Sale yt is to saye kynge of peace
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.
with out father wt out mother with out kynne and hath nether begynnynge of his tyme nether yet ende of his lyfe: but is lykened vnto the sonne of god and cotinueth a preste for ever.
4 And notice how great this man was, to whom also the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the best spoils.
Consyder what a man this was vnto who the patriarke Abraham gave tythes of the spoyles.
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.
And verely those children of levy which receave the office of the prestes have a commaundement to take a cordyng to the lawe tythes of the people that is to saye of their brethren yee though they spronge out of the loynes of Abraham.
6 But the man who did not descend from them has received tithes from Abraham, and has blessed the man having the promises.
But he whose kynred is not counted amonge them receaved tythes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promyses.
7 And without all contradiction the inferior is blessed by the superior.
And no man denyeth but that which is lesse receaveth blessinge of yt which is greater.
8 And here indeed, men who die receive tithes, but there, he who is testified about that he lives.
And here men that dye receave tythes. But there he receaveth tythes of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
9 And, so to speak, Levi also, the man who receives tithes, has paid tithes through Abraham,
And to saye the trueth Levy him silfe also which receaveth tythes payed tythes in Abraham.
10 for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
For he was yet in the loynes of his father Abraham when Melchisech met him.
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?
Yf now therfore perfeccion came by the presthod of the levites (for vnder that presthod the people recaved the lawe) what neded it furthermore that an other prest shuld ryse after the order of Melchisedech and not after the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity a change of law also occurs.
Now no dout yf the presthod be translated then of necessitie must the lawe be translated also.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, from which no man has attended to the altar.
For he of whom these thynges are spoken pertayneth vnto another trybe of which never man served at the aultre.
14 For it is evident that our Lord arose out of Judah, regarding which tribe Moses spoke nothing about the priesthood.
For it is evidet that oure lorde spronge of the trybe of Iuda of which trybe spake Moses nothynge concernynge presthod.
15 And it is still far more evident, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest,
And it is yet a more evydent thinge yf after the similitude of Melchisedech ther aryse a nother prest
16 who has become, not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indestructible life.
which is not made after the lawe of the carnall commaundmet: but after the power of the endlesse lyfe
17 For he testifies, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
(For he testifieth: Thou arte a prest forever after the order of Melchysedech) (aiōn g165)
18 For indeed there becomes an annulment of a preceding commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
Then the commaundmet that went a fore is disanulled because of hir weaknes and vnproffitablenes.
19 (for the law made nothing fully perfect), and an introduction of a better hope, through which we approach God.
For the lawe made nothynge parfecte: but was an introduccion of a better hope by which hope we drawe nye vnto god.
20 And inasmuch as it is not without an oath. For actually those who become priests are so without an oath,
And for this cause it is a better hope that it was not promysed with out an othe.
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 g165)
Those prestes were made wt out an oth: but this prest with an oth by him that saide vnto him The lorde sware and will not repent: Thou arte a prest for ever after the order of Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)
22 By so much, Jesus has become the surety of a better covenant.
And for that cause was Iesus a stablyssher of a better testament.
23 And of course those who have become priests are more, because of being prevented to continue by death,
And amonge them many were made prestes because they were not suffred to endure by the reason of deeth.
But this man because he endureth ever hath an everlastinge presthod. (aiōn g165)
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.
Wherfore he is able also ever to save them that come vnto god by him seynge he ever lyveth to make intercession for vs.
26 For such a high priest is fitting for us, devout, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become higher than the heavens.
Soche an hye prest it became vs to have which is wholy harmlesse vndefyled separat from synners and made hyar then heven.
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.
Which nedeth not dayly (as yonder hie prestes) to offer vp sacrifice fyrst for his awne synnes and then for the peoples synnes. For that did he at once for all when he offered vp him silfe.
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 g165)
For the lawe maketh men prestes which have infirmitie: but the worde of the othe that came fence ye lawe maketh the sonne prest which is parfecte for ever more. (aiōn g165)
