Hebrews 7
1 This for Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, (who *N+kO) having met with Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and having blessed him,
Ko tenei Merekihereke hoki, kingi o harema, tohunga o te Atua o te Runga Rawa, i tutaki nei ki a Aperahama i a ia e hoki ana i te patunga i nga kingi, i manaaki nei i a ia,
2 to whom also a tenth of all apportioned Abraham, first indeed being translated king of righteousness then however also king of Salem, which is king of peace,
A hoatu ana e Aperahama ki a ia nga whakatekau o nga mea katoa, ko te whakamaoritanga o tona ingoa i te tuatahi ko te Kingi o te tika, i to muri hoki ko te Kingi o Harema, ara ko te Kingi o te rangimarie:
3 Without father, without mother, without genealogy, neither beginning of days nor of life end having, made like however as the Son of God he remains a priest unto all time.
He mea matuakore, whaeakore, kahore nei ona whakapapa tupuna, kahore he timatanga o ona ra, kahore he mutunga o tona ora; he tangata kua whakaritea ki te Tama a te Atua, mau tonu ana ia hei tohunga.
4 do consider now how great this one [was], to whom even a tenth Abraham gave out of the best spoils the patriarch.
Na, whakaaroa te nui o tenei tangata i hoatu nei ki a ia e te tupuna nui, e Aperahama, nga whakatekau o nga taonga parakete.
5 And those indeed out from the sons of Levi the priestly office receiving a commandment have to take a tenth from the people according to the law, That is from the brothers of them, though having come out of the loin of Abraham.
Ko nga tama hoki a Riwai, ara nga mea kua riro nei i a ratou te mahi tohunga, he ture kei a ratou kia tangohia ta te ture i whakarite ai, nga whakatekau a te iwi, he mea na o ratou teina i puta mai nei ano i te hope o Aperahama:
6 The [one] however not tracing his ancestry from them he has collected a tenth from Abraham; and the [one who] is having the promises He has blessed.
Ko tenei tangata ia, ehara nei i te mea no to ratou kawai, riro ana i a ia nga whakatekau a Aperahama, a manaakitia ana e ia te tangata i a ia nei nga kupu whakaari.
7 Apart from now all dispute; the inferior by the superior is blessed.
E kore rawa ia tenei e taea te whakateka, ara ko te mea iti e manaakitia ana e te mea nui.
8 And here indeed tithes dying men receive in that place however it is testified that he lives on.
I konei e riro ana nga whakatekau i nga tangata, he matemate nei; i reira ia, i tera e kiia nei kei te ora ia.
9 And so a word to speak; through Abraham also Levi the [one] tithes receiving has paid the tithe.
Me penei ano te ki, ko Riwai e tango whakatekau nei, hoatu ana e ia he whakatekau i ta Aperahama meatanga ra.
10 Still for in the loin of [his] father he was when he met with him Melchizedek.
I roto tonu hoki ia i te hope o tona papa i te tutakitanga o Merekihereke ki a ia.
11 If indeed then perfection through the Levitical priesthood were — the people for upon (it has received [the] Law — *N+kO) what still need [was there] according to the order of Melchizedek [for] another to arise priest and not according to the order of Aaron to be named?
Na, ki te mea na ta te Riwai mahi tohunga i tino rite ai, a i na runga hoki i tera te rironga o te ture i te iwi, he aha atu te mea e whakatika ake ai tetahi atu tohunga i runga i to Merekihereke ritenga; te kiia ai i runga i to Arona ritenga?
12 When is being changed for the priesthood from necessity also of law a change takes place.
Ka whakaputaia ketia nei hoki te mahi tohunga, ina kua puta ke ano hoki te ture.
13 [He] concerning whom for are spoken these things to a tribe another has belonged to, from which no [one] has served at the altar.
Ko te tangata hoki mona enei korero, he hapu ke tona, kahore nei tetahi o ratou i whakatata ki te aata.
14 [It is] evident for that out of Judah has sprung the Lord of us as to which a tribe concerning (priests *N+KO) no [thing] Moses spoke.
He mea takoto marama hoki tenei, i puta ake to tatou Ariki i roto i a Hura: hore rawa he kupu a Mohi mo te mahi tohunga a tera iwi.
15 And more excessive yet evident it is, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek arises a priest another,
A ka tino marama rawa ta matou i korero ai, ina whakatika ake tetahi atu tohunga i te ritenga o Merekihereke;
16 who not according to a law of a commandment (fleshly *N+kO) has been constituted but according to [the] power of a life indestructible;
Ko tona whakatohungatanga nei hoki ehara i te mea no runga i te ture o nga tikanga o te kikokiko, engari no runga i te kaha o te ora e kore e mutu.
17 (It is testified *N+kO) for that You [are] a priest to the age according to the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
Kua whakaaturia mai nei hoki e ia, Hei tohunga koe ake ake i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke. (aiōn g165)
18 A putting away indeed for there is while is preceding [the] commandment because of its weakness and uselessness —
Kua whakakahoretia hoki te ture i whakatakotoria i mua, no te mea kahore ona kaha, kahore ona hua,
19 no [thing] for perfected the law — [the] introduction then of a better hope through which we draw near to God.
Kahore hoki he mea i tino tika i te ture; kua mauria mai ano he mea e hira ake ai te tumanako, na reira nei tatou ka whakatata atu ki te Atua.
20 And to as much as not apart from an oath.
Na kihai nei i mahue te oati:
21 those ones truly for without an oath are priests having become, [He] however with an oath through the [One] who is saying to Him: Has sworn [the] Lord and not will change His mind; You [are] a priest to the age (according to the order of Melchizedek; *K) (aiōn g165)
Ko era hoki kahore he oati i to ratou whakatohungatanga; he oati ia i to tenei, na tera i ki mai ra ki a ia, Kua oati te Ariki, a e kore e puta ke tona whakaaro, hei tohunga koe ake ake i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke: (aiōn g165)
22 By so much (also *no) of a better covenant has become [the] guarantee Jesus.
Koia i nui ke ai te pai o te kawenata ko Ihu nei tona kaiwhakamau.
23 And those indeed many are having become priests because of by death being prevented from continuing;
He tokomaha hoki ratou i whakatohungatia, ta te mea kihai i tukua e te mate kia tu tonu;
Ko tenei ia, e mau tonu ana ake ake, e kore ano e puta ke tana mahi tohunga. (aiōn g165)
25 wherefore also to save to the uttermost He is able those drawing near through Him to God always living for to intercede for them.
Na, e taea ano e ia te tino whakaora te hunga e na runga atu ana i a ia ki te Atua; e ora tonu ana hoki ia hei inoi mo ratou.
26 Such indeed for us (also *no) was fitting a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and higher than the heavens having become;
He pai rawa hoki tenei tu tohunga nui mo tatou, te tapu, te kinokore, te pokekore, he mea motu ke i te hunga hara, kua whakanekehia ake ano hoki ki runga ake i nga rangi;
27 who not has every day need as the high priests first for [their] own sins sacrifices to offer up then for those of the people; this for He did once for all Himself having offered up.
Kahore ana mea e pera ai ia me nga tohunga nui, e whakaeke patunga tapu ai ia i ia ra, mo ona hara ake i te tuatahi, muri iho mo o te iwi; kotahi tonu hoki tana meatanga i tenei, i tana whakaekenga atu i a ia ake.
28 The law for men appoints as high priests having weakness, the word however of the oath which [is] after the law a Son to the age perfected. (aiōn g165)
Ko nga tohunga nui hoki e whakaturia ana e te ture, he tangata e pehia ana e te ngoikore; ko ta te kupu ia o te oati, i muri nei i te ture, ko te Tama, kua oti nei te mea kia tino tika ake ake. (aiōn g165)
