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;
Vawhkaw Melkhizadek vetaw Salem sangpahrang na awm nawh Sawsang soeih Khawsa a khawsoeih na awm hy. Anih ing ce Sangpahrangkhqi noeng nawh ak voei law Abraham ce hqum nawh zoseennaak pehy,
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.”
Abraham ing anih a venawh pahqa awh pynoet pehy. Lamma cyk awh anih ang ming kqawn ngaihnaak taw “Dyngnaak Sangpahrang tinawh kqawn ngaihnaak “Salem Sangpahrang” mingna bai hy.
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.
Anu ingkaw a pa am awm hy, ak hlahkung a qui a qawng thih ham qoe am awm hy, ak kqannaak nyn awm am awm nawh a hqing a dytnaak awm am tahy, Khawsa Capamyihna kumqui khawsoeih na awm hy.
4 Consider, then the importance of this Melchizedek, to whom even the patriarch Abraham himself gave a tithe of the choicest spoils.
Anih ce ikawmyih aih na a bau tice poek lah uh: Pakdam Abraham ing zani thlang a ik-oeih a qawt peek ak khui awhkawng pahqa pynoet ce ana pehy.
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.
Anaa awi ing khawsoeih na ak awm Levi a cadilkhqi ing thlangkhqi venawh pahqa pynoet cawi aham ngoe hy – cawhkaw thlangkhqi taw a koeinaa suum Abqamham a cadilkhqi lawt ni.
6 But Melchizedek, although not of this lineage, received tithes from Abraham, and gave his blessing to the man who had God’s promises.
Cawhkaw thlang cetaw, Levi a cadil na am awm hlai hy, Abraham a venawh kaw pahqa pynoet ce lo nawh awikamnaak ak ta Abraham ce zoseennaak pehy.
7 Now no one can dispute that it is the superior who blesses the inferior.
Upvoetnaak a taak kaana ak zawi ce ak bau khqoet ing zoseennaak pehy.
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.
Pynoet benawh, ak thi thlang ing pahqa pynoet ce cawi hy, cehlai pynoet ben bai awhtaw, cawhkaw ak hqing thlang ing ce ana cawi bai hy.
9 Moreover, in a sense, even Levi, who is the receiver of the tithes, has, through Abraham, paid tithes;
Pahqa pynoet ak cawi Levi ing Abraham ak caming pahqa pynoet pehy, u ingawm ti thai mai hy.
10 for Levi was still in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
Ikawtih Abraham ing Melkhizadek ang hqum awh Levi taw a pakdam a pum khuiawh ni a awm hyn.
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?
Levikhqi a khawsoeih bibinaak ak caming soepnaak ce huh thai na a awm mantaw (vawh anaa awi peek ce thlangkhqi venawh peek na awm hy), ikaw ham Aaron a mih kaana Melkhizadek amyihna ak awm khawsoeih ak law hly kawi ce a mi na ngoe bai?
12 With the change of the priesthood a change of the Law became a necessity.
Khawsoihkhqi a mi na hleng qu awh, anaa awi peek awm hleng qu aham awm hy.
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.
Vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi awh kqawn na ak awm anih ce thlak chang ni, ce ak thlang khui awhkawng u ingawm bawkthang awh bibi hlan hy.
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.
Ningmih a Bawipa taw Juda thlang ak khui awhkawng law hy, cehlai ce ak thlang ak khui awhkawng khawsoeih ak awm hly kawi Mosi ing ap kqawn hy.
15 All this becomes even yet plainer when we remember that a new priest has appeared, resembling Melchizedek,
Melkhizadek amyihna ak awm khawsoeih ak chang ve ang dang law mantaw ningnih ing nik kqawn ve caih khqoet hy,
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 taw pakdamkhqi ing ami sawinaak a lawng a lam amyihna ak awm khawsoeih am nawh amak plawci thai hqing saithainaak ak caming ak awm na awm hy.
17 for that is the meaning of the declaration – “You are for all time a priest of the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
Ikawtih vemyihna phawng hyt awm hy: Nang taw Melkhizadek amyihna, kumqui khawsoeih na awm hyk ti,” a tina. (aiōn g165)
18 On the one hand, we have the abolition of a previous regulation as being both inefficient and useless
Lamma awhkaw sainaak cetaw ak tha am awm nawh kawna a mang coeng awh hoep na awm hy
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.
(Ikawtih anaa awi peek ing ikaw awm am soep sak hy), cedawngawh ngaih-unaak ak nep bet ce awm sak hy, ce ak caming ningnih taw Khawsa venawh ni zoe bet uhy.
20 Then again, the appointment of this new priest was ratified by an oath, which is not so with the Levitical priests,
Ce a ik-oeih awh awikam kaana am na awm hy. Thlangkhqi taw awi kam kaana khawsoeih na coeng uhy,
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)
cehlai anih taw Khawsa ak awi kamnaak ing khawsoeih na coeng hy: “Bawipa ing awi ana taak hawh dawngawh ak kaw am thaw voel kaw: ‘Nangtaw kumqui khawsoeih na awm hyk ti,’ tinawh awi kam hawh hy. (aiōn g165)
22 And the oath shows the corresponding superiority of the covenant of which Jesus is appointed the surety.
Vawhkaw awikamnaak awh, Jesu taw ak nep bet awikamnaak ak caksak na awm hy.
23 Again, new Levitical priests are continually being appointed, because death prevents their remaining in office;
Thihnaak ing kang nawh bi amak bi thai khawsoeih thlang awm hy;
24 but Jesus remains for all time, and therefore the priesthood that he holds will never pass to another. (aiōn g165)
Cehlai Jesu taw a hqing loet awh, anih taw khawsoeih ak cak na awm quiqah hy. (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.
Cedawngawh amah ak caming Khawsa venawh ak law thlangkhqi boeih ce hul thai hy, Ikawtih cekkhqi ham qeennaak thoeh peek aham anih taw awm quiqah hy.
26 This was the high priest that we needed – holy, innocent, spotless, withdrawn from sinners, exalted above the highest heaven,
Cemyihna ak awm khawsoeih boeikhyt ing ni ningnih a ngoenaak ce a soep sak thai – ak ciim, coet amak kap, ak caih, thlak thawlh ak khui awhkawng ak hoep qu nawh khan a saw na ak zoeksang qu thlang ing ni ni ngoenaak ce a soep sak thai.
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.
Ak chang khawsoeih boeikhytkhqi amyihna anih ing amah aham ingkaw ak thlangkhqi ham myngawi lucik ce sai aham am ngoe hy. Cekkhqi a thawlhnaak awh hypoet ak khoek koeng na amah ingkaw amah lucik coeng hawh hy.
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)
Anaa awi peek ing tha amak awm thlanghqing ce khawsoeih boeikhyt na caksak hy; cehlai anaa awi peek awi coengawh ak law awikamnaak ing Capa ce a caksak awh anih taw kumqui dy ak soep na awm hy. (aiōn g165)
