Hebrews 7
1 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:
此のメルキゼデクはサレムの王にて至高き神の祭司たりしが、王たちを破りて還るアブラハムを迎へて祝福せり。
2 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
アブラハムは彼に凡ての物の十分の一を分け與へたり。その名を釋けば第一に義の王、次にサレムの王、すなはち平和の王なり。
3 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.
父なく、母なく、系圖なく、齡の始なく、生命の終なく、神の子の如くにして限りなく祭司たり。
4 Consyder what a man this was vnto who the patriarke Abraham gave tythes of the spoyles.
先祖アブラハム分捕物のうち十分の一、最も善き物を之に與へたれば、その人の如何に尊きかを思ふべし。
5 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.
レビの子 等のうち祭司の職を受くる者は、律法によりて、民すなはちアブラハムの腰より出でたる己が兄弟より、十分の一を取ることを命ぜらる。
6 But he whose kynred is not counted amonge them receaved tythes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promyses.
されど此の血脈にあらぬ彼は、アブラハムより十分の一を取りて約束を受けし者を祝福せり。
7 And no man denyeth but that which is lesse receaveth blessinge of yt which is greater.
それ小なる者の大なる者に祝福せらるるは論なき事なり。
8 And here men that dye receave tythes. But there he receaveth tythes of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
かつ此所にては死ぬべき者 十分の一を受くれども、彼處にては『活くるなり』と證せられた者これを受く。
9 And to saye the trueth Levy him silfe also which receaveth tythes payed tythes in Abraham.
また十分の一を受くるレビすら、アブラハムに由りて十分の一を納めたりと云ふも可なり。
10 For he was yet in the loynes of his father Abraham when Melchisech met him.
そはメルキゼデクのアブラハムを迎へし時に、レビはなほ父の腰に在りたればなり。
11 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?
もしレビの系なる祭司によりて全うせらるる事ありしならば（民は之によりて律法を受けたり）何ぞなほ他にアロンの位に等しからぬメルキゼデクの位に等しき祭司の起る必要あらんや。
12 Now no dout yf the presthod be translated then of necessitie must the lawe be translated also.
祭司の易る時には律法も亦 必ず易るべきなり。
13 For he of whom these thynges are spoken pertayneth vnto another trybe of which never man served at the aultre.
此 等のことは曾て祭壇に事へたることなき他の族に屬する者をさして云へるなり。
14 For it is evidet that oure lorde spronge of the trybe of Iuda of which trybe spake Moses nothynge concernynge presthod.
それ我らの主のユダより出で給へるは明かにして、此の族につき、モーセは聊かも祭司に係ることを云はざりき。
15 And it is yet a more evydent thinge yf after the similitude of Melchisedech ther aryse a nother prest
又メルキゼデクのごとき他の祭司おこり、肉の誡命の法に由らず、朽ちざる生命の能力によりて立てられたれば、我が言ふ所いよいよ明かなり。
16 which is not made after the lawe of the carnall commaundmet: but after the power of the endlesse lyfe
又メルキゼデクのごとき他の祭司おこり、肉の誡命の法に由らず、朽ちざる生命の能力によりて立てられたれば、我が言ふ所いよいよ明かなり。
そは『なんぢは永遠にメルキゼデクの位に等しき祭司たり』と證せられ給へばなり。 (aiōn g165)
18 Then the commaundmet that went a fore is disanulled because of hir weaknes and vnproffitablenes.
前の誡命は弱く、かつ益なき故に廢せられ、
19 For the lawe made nothynge parfecte: but was an introduccion of a better hope by which hope we drawe nye vnto god.
（律法は何をも全うせざりしなり）更に優れたる希望を置かれたり、この希望によりて我らは神に近づくなり。
20 And for this cause it is a better hope that it was not promysed with out an othe.
かの人々は誓なくして祭司とせられたれども、
21 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)
彼は誓なくしては爲られず、誓をもて祭司とせられ給へり。即ち彼に就きて『主ちかひて悔い給はず、「なんじは永遠に祭司たり」』と言ひ給ひしが如し。 (aiōn g165)
22 And for that cause was Iesus a stablyssher of a better testament.
イエスは斯くも優れたる契約の保證となり給へり。
23 And amonge them many were made prestes because they were not suffred to endure by the reason of deeth.
かの人々は死によりて永くその職に留ることを得ざる故に、祭司となりし者の數 多かりき。
されど彼は永遠に在せば易ることなき祭司の職を保ちたまふ。 (aiōn g165)
25 Wherfore he is able also ever to save them that come vnto god by him seynge he ever lyveth to make intercession for vs.
この故に彼は己に頼りて神にきたる者のために執成をなさんとて常に生くれば、之を全く救ふこと得給ふなり。
26 Soche an hye prest it became vs to have which is wholy harmlesse vndefyled separat from synners and made hyar then heven.
斯くのごとき大 祭司こそ我らに相應しき者なれ、即ち聖にして惡なく、穢なく、罪人より遠ざかり、諸般の天よりも高くせられ給へり。
27 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.
他の大 祭司のごとく先づ己の罪のため、次に民の罪のために日々 犧牲を献ぐるを要し給はず、その一たび己を献げて之を成し給ひたればなり。
