Hebrews 7
1 It was this Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and gave him his blessing;
Khohni Pathen kah khosoih, Salem manghai Melkhizedek loh, manghai rhoek tloeknah lamkah aka bal Abraham te a doe tih a uem.
2 and it was to him that Abraham allotted a tithe of all the spoil. The meaning of his name is “king of righteousness,” and besides that, he was also king of Salem, which means “king of peace.”
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.
3 There is no record of his father, or mother, or lineage, nor again of any beginning of his days, or end of his life. In this he resembles the Son of God, and stands before us as a priest whose priesthood is continuous.
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.
4 Consider, then the importance of this Melchizedek, to whom even the patriarch Abraham himself gave a tithe of the choicest spoils.
Patuel Abraham long pataeng a kutbuem khuikah parha pakhat a paek atah anih khaw bahoeng len tila hmu uh.
5 Those descendants of Levi, who are from time to time appointed to the priesthood, are directed to collect tithes from the people in accordance with the Law – that is from their own kindred, although they also are descended from Abraham.
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.
6 But Melchizedek, although not of this lineage, received tithes from Abraham, and gave his blessing to the man who had God’s promises.
Tedae amih kah rhuirhong mueh loh Abraham taengkah parha pakhat a doe tih olkhueh aka dang te a uem.
7 Now no one can dispute that it is the superior who blesses the inferior.
Te dongah a then loh mathoe a uem te boeih pakainah moenih.
8 In the one case the tithes are received by people who are mortal; in the other case by one about whom there is the statement that his life still continues.
Te vaengah hlang duek loh parha pakhat te a dang dae hing tila pahoi a phong pah.
9 Moreover, in a sense, even Levi, who is the receiver of the tithes, has, through Abraham, paid tithes;
Te phoeiah olka a thui vanbangla Abraham lamlong ni Levi long khaw a doe parha pakhat te a dang.
10 for Levi was still in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
Melkhizedek loh anih a doe vaengah Levi he a napa kah a pumpu ah ni a om pueng.
11 If, then, perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood – and it was under this priesthood that the people received the Law – why was it still necessary that a priest of a different order should appear, a priest of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?
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?
12 With the change of the priesthood a change of the Law became a necessity.
Khosoih bi te a thovael vaengah olkhueng kah thovaelnah khaw a kueknah om.
13 And he of whom all this is said belonged to quite a different tribe, no member of which has ever served at the altar.
Amah kawng a thui uh he khaw a tloe koca taengah cabol coeng. Te lamkah te tah hmueihtuk aka ngaithuen moenih.
14 For it is plain that our Lord had sprung from the tribe of Judah, though of that tribe Moses said nothing about their being priests.
Te dongah mamih kah Boeipa te Judah lamkah ha thoeng te lohaa coeng. Tekah koca ham khosoih bi te Moses loh ana thui moenih.
15 All this becomes even yet plainer when we remember that a new priest has appeared, resembling Melchizedek,
Te phoeiah a cimphan la muep om pueng. Melkhizedek kah mueiloh bangla khosoih a tloe a phoe mak atah.
16 and that he was appointed, not under a Law regulating only earthly matters, but by virtue of a life beyond the reach of death;
Anih tah pumsa olpaek kah olkhueng dongah om pawt tih aka nguel hingnah kah thaomnah dongah ni a om.
17 for that is the meaning of the declaration – “You are for all time a priest of the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
“Nang tah Melkhizedek kah aitlaeng bangla kumhal ah na khosoih coeng,” tila a phong. (aiōn g165)
18 On the one hand, we have the abolition of a previous regulation as being both inefficient and useless
Olpaek lamhma he tattloel tih a hloo dongah a hnawt a khoe la poeh.
19 (for the Law never brought anything to perfection); and, on the other hand, we have the introduction of a better hope, which enables us to draw near to God.
Olkhueng loh soep sak pawt dae ngaiuepnah then ham rhoekbahnah la om. Te nen ni Pathen taengla n'yoei uh.
20 Then again, the appointment of this new priest was ratified by an oath, which is not so with the Levitical priests,
Te tlam khaw olhlonah tal aih pawt dae, amih tah olhlonah om muehla khosoih a bi uh ngawn ta.
21 but his appointment was ratified by an oath, when God said to him – “The Lord has sworn, and will not change, ‘You are a priest for all time.’” (aiōn g165)
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)
22 And the oath shows the corresponding superiority of the covenant of which Jesus is appointed the surety.
Heyet lamlong tah Jesuh he paipi then kah rhi aka khang la om coeng.
23 Again, new Levitical priests are continually being appointed, because death prevents their remaining in office;
Te vaengah aka nguel ham te duek loh a kanghalh dongah khosoih la aka om rhoek khaw muep lo uh.
24 but Jesus remains for all time, and therefore the priesthood that he holds will never pass to another. (aiōn g165)
Tedae kumhal duela aka naeh tih a cak la aka om khosoih khaw amah ni. (aiōn g165)
25 And that is why he is able to save perfectly those who come to God through him, living for ever, as he does, to intercede of their behalf.
Te dongah anih lamloh Pathen aka paan rhoek khuek a khang thai bal. A yoeyah la hing ham te amih yueng la huithui coeng.
26 This was the high priest that we needed – holy, innocent, spotless, withdrawn from sinners, exalted above the highest heaven,
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.
27 one who has no need to offer sacrifices daily as those high priests have, first for their own sins, and then for those of the people. For this he did once and for all, when he offered himself as the sacrifice.
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.
28 The Law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the words of God’s oath, which was later than the Law, name the Son as, for all time, the perfect priest. (aiōn g165)
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)
