Abhaebrania 7
1 Jabhee kutya Melkizedeki, omukama wa Salemu, Omugabhisiwa Nyamuanga unu ali ingulu, unu abhonene na Abrahamu nasubhaga okusoka okubheta abhakama na namuyana amabhando.
It was this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.
2 Abrahamu amuyanile imwi ya likumi yabhinu aliga akumenye. Lisina lyae “Melkizedeki” obhugajulo bhwalyo “omukama wo bhulengelesi”na lindi “omukama wa Salemu”inu ali “omukama wo mulembe.”
It was to him that Abraham gave a tenth of everything. His name “Melchizedek” means “king of righteousness.” His other title is “king of Salem,” that is, “king of peace.”
3 Atana esemwene, atana nyila, atana bhebhusi, atana bhwambilo bhwa nsiku nolo bhutelo bhwo bhulame bhwae. nakasigala kubha mugabhisi kajanende, lwo mwana wa Nyamuanga.
He is without father, without mother, without ancestors, with neither beginning of days nor end of life. Instead, he resembles the Son of God, because he remains a priest forever.
4 Woli iganilisha kutyo omunu unu kutyo aliga ali mukulu. Omwibhusi weswe Abrahamu amuyanile imwi ya likumi ye bhinu bhya kisi bhinu agegele mwilemo.
See how great this man was to whom the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the things that he had taken in battle.
5 Na nchimali, oluganda lwa Bhalawi bhalamiye jinyu jiofisi je chigabhisi bhaliga bhali na echilagilo okusoka mu sheliya okukumanya eimwi ya likumi okusoka kubhanu, inu ili, okusoka ku Bhaisraeli bhejabho, amwi nati abhene, ona, ni luganda okusoka ku Abrahamu.
The sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have a command from the law to collect tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, even though they, too, have come from Abraham's body.
6 Nawe Melkizedeki, unu aliga atana luganda na Abhalawi, alamiye eimwi ya likumi okusoka ku Abrahamu, na namuyana amabhando, unu aliga ali no mulago.
But Melchizedek, whose descent was not traced from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him, the one who had the promises.
7 Awo itakuganyibhwa omunu omulela okuyanwa amabhando no mukulu.
There is no denying that the lesser person is blessed by the greater person.
8 Kwa ligambo linu omunu kalamila eimwi ya likumi alifwa lusiku lumwi, nawe kwa ligambo elindi umwi unu alamiye eimwi ya likumi okusoka ku Abrahamu niyaikwati kuti alamile.
In this case, mortal men receive tithes, but in that case it is testified that he lives on.
9 Nakalomee, Lawi unu alamiye eimwi ya likumi, ona aliile eimwi ya likumi ku Abrahamu,
And, in a manner of speaking, Levi, who received tithes, also paid tithes through Abraham,
10 Kulwokubha Lawi aliga ali mubhibhunu bhye semwene wae Abrahamu omwanya gunu Melkizedeki abhonene na Abrahamu.
because Levi was in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
11 Woli labha obhukumiye bhatulikene okulabhila obhugabhisi bhwa Lawi, (kulwejo emwalo abhanu abhalamila ebhilagilo), bhaliga bhulio bhukeneki lindi omugabhisi undi okwimuka ejile alabhao Melkizedeki, atakabhilikiwe Haruni?
Now if perfection were possible through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the manner of Melchizedek, and not be considered to be after the manner of Aaron?
12 Kulwejo obhugabhisi bhukainduka, nibhusi bhusi ebhilagilo ona ebhiinduka.
For when the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed.
13 Kuumwi unuamagambo ganu agaikwa ingulu yo luganda lundi, okusoka kumwene atali unu afulubhendaga kuchigabhilo. Woli jilyabhwelu ati, Latabhugenyi
For the one about whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
14 weswe asokele mu Yuda, oluganda lunu Musa ataikile ingulu ya bhagabhisi.
Now clearly, it is from Judah that our Lord was born, a tribe that Moses never mentioned concerning priests.
15 Naganu echaika anu agalyabhwelu ati omugabhisi oundi akasoka kwo lususo lwa Melkizedeki.
What we say is clearer yet if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek.
16 Omugabhisi unu omuyaya atali umwi unu abhee mugabhisi ingulu ye bhilagilo unu kalubhana na olwibhulo lwo munu, nawe kubhwambilo bhwa amanaga bhwo bhwikalo bhunu bhutakunyamuka.
It was not based on the law of fleshly descent that he became a priest, but instead was based on the power of an everlasting life.
17 Kulwejo amandiko agasulula ingulu yae ati: “Awe uli mugabhisi kajanende kulususo lwa Melkizedeki.” (aiōn g165)
For scripture witnesses about him: “You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
18 Kwokubha indagano inu yatangatile yatewe kulubhaju kulwokubha yaliga ilengaye na aliga iteile.
For the former regulation is set aside because it is weak and useless,
19 Kulwejo echilagilochitakolele chona chona chinu chiile. Jitalyati, bhwaliga bhulio obhuyali bhwakisi kulwejo nchimufogelela Nyamuanga.
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, through which we come near to God.
20 Nobhuyali bhunu obhwakisi bhutasokene tali kwo kwokulomela echilailo, kulinu abhagabhisi abhandi bhatagegaga chilailo chona chona.
And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath,
21 Nawe Nyamuanga agegele echilailo omwanya gunu aikile ingulu ya Yesu ati, “Latabhugenyi alaiye atakuindula bhwiganilisha bhwae.' awe nawe omugabhisi kajanende.” (aiōn g165)
but he became a priest when God said to him, “The Lord has sworn and he will not change his mind: 'You are a priest forever.'” (aiōn g165)
22 Kulinu Yesu ona ejile etewo kubha ndagano yo bhwana.
By this also Jesus has given the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 Kwechimali, olufu oluganya abhagabhisi okufulubhenda kajanende. Kwainsonga ati bhaliga bhalio abhagabhisi bhamfu, oumwi bada yo oundi.
The former priests were many in number, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
But because Jesus continues to live forever, he has a permanent priesthood. (aiōn g165)
25 Kulwejo omwene ona katula kwobhukumiye okukumisha okubhachungula bhanu abhamufogelela Nyamuangaokulabhila kumwene, kulwokubha omwene alamile kwo kusabha ingulu yebhwe.
Therefore he is also able to save completely those who approach God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
26 Kulwejo omugabhisi omukulu wo lususo lunu eile kweswe. Unu atana chibhibhi, esolo, mwelu, unu auhywe okusoka kubhebhibhi, na abhee ingulu okukila olwile.
For such a high priest is suitable for us. He is sinless, blameless, pure, separated from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens.
27 Omwene aliga atana bhukene, olususo lwa bhagabhisi bhakulu, okusosha echogo bhuli lunaku, okwamba kwe bhibhibhi bhyae omwene, neya nasosha kubhibhibhi bhya bhanu. Akolele kutyo lugendo lumwi kubhona, ejile esosha omwene.
He does not need, unlike the high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He did this once for all, when he offered himself.
28 Kwe chilagilo kaula abhanu abhalenga okubha bhagabhisi bhakulu, nawe ligambo lyo kulaila, linu lyejile inyuma ye chilagilo, amusosishe Omwana, unu akolelwe kubha mulengelesi kajanende. (aiōn g165)
For the law appoints as high priests men who have weaknesses. But the word of the oath, which came after the law, appointed a Son, who has been made perfect forever. (aiōn g165)
