Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
1A O ua Melekisedeka la hoi, ke alii o Salema, he kahuna no ke Akua kiekie loa, oia hoi ka i halawai pu me Aberahama i kona hoi ana mai mai ka luku ana'ku i na'lii, a hoomaikai iho la ia ia.
2and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness.” Then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”
2Ia ia hoi i haawi aku ai o Aberahama i ka hapaumi o na mea a pau: ma ka unuhi olelo ana, o kona inoa mua ke Alii o ka pono, alaila ke Alii o Salema ia, o ke ano oia, ke Alii e maluhia ai.
3Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.
3Aole ona makuakane, aohe makuwahine, aole kuauhau, aohe kumu o kona mau la, aole oki kona ola ana; aka, ua hoohalikeia me ke Keiki a ke Akua, e noho kahuua mau ana.
4Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.
4Ano la hoi, e hoomanao i ke ano kiekie o ua kanaka la, ia ia i haawi aku ai o Aberahama ka makualii i ka hapaumi o ka waiwai pio.
5Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.
5A o na mamo a Levi, ka poe i lawe i ka oihana a ke kahuna, ua kauohaia mai lakou ma ke kanawai e lawe i ka hapaumi o ka waiwai o kanaka, o ko lakou poe hoahanau, a ua hele mai no nae lakou mai loko mai o ko Aberahama puhaka:
6But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
6Aka, o ka mea i kuauhau ole ia, mai laila mai, oia ka i lawe i ka hapaumi o ko Aberahama waiwai, a ua hoomaikai aku hoi i ka mea nona na olelo mua.
7And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
7A he mea hoopaapaa ole ia keia, ua hoomaikaiia'ku ka mea i emi iho e ka mea i oi aku.
8In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.
8Maanei hoi, ua loaa ka hapaumi o ka waiwai i kanaka e make ana; aka, malaila i ka mea i oleloia mai ai, e ola ana ia.
9And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.
9Oia hoi, ina e hiki ia'u ke olelo penei, o Levi hoi, o ka mea i loaa ia ia ka hapaumi o ka waiwai, oia kekahi i haawi aku i ka hapaumi o ka waiwai iloko o Aberahama.
10For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.
10No ka mea, maloko no oia o ka puhaka o kona kupuna i ka wa i halawai ai o Melekisedeka me ia.
11Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?
11A, ina i loaa ka mea e pono ai ma ka oihana kahuna a Levi, (ua haawi pu ia mai ke kanawai i kanaka me ia,) heaha la anei hoi ko laila hemahema e ku hou ai kekahi kahuna e mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka, aole hoi i kapaia mamuli o ke ano o Aarona?
12For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.
12Aka, i kahuliia ka oihana kahuna, he pono no hoi e kahuliia ke kanawai.
13He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
13No ka mea, o ka mea nona keia mau mea i oleloia ai, no ka ohana e no ia, aole kekahi o lakou i malama ma ke kuahu.
14For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.
14Ua akaka no ka puka ana o ka Haku, mai loko mai o Iuda, ka ohana i olelo ole ia'i no ka oihana kahuna e Mose.
15And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
15A ua akaka loa ae kela mea, i ke kupu ana o kekahi kahuna e, e like me Melekisedeka,
16one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.
16I hooliloia pela, aole make kanawai o ko ke kino, aka, ma ka mana o ke ola e mau loa ana.
17For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
17Ua hooiaio mai no hoi ia, He kahuna mau loa oe mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka.
18So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
18Ua waikoia'o no kela kanawai mua, no kona nawaliwali, a me kona pono ole.
19(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
19Aole ma ke kanawai, i pono loa ai kekahi mea, aka, ma ka hookomo ana i ka manaolana maikai ae, ka mea e kookokoke aka ai kakou i ke Akua.
20And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
20A no ka mea hoi, aole me ka hoohiki ole ana,
21but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’”
21(No ka mea, ua hooliloia'e kela poe i kahuna, me ka hoohiki ole, aka, oia nei me ka hoohiki ana e ka mea nana i olelo ia ia, Ua hoohiki ka Haku, aole hoi ia e lole hou ae, He kahuna mau loa oe mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka;)
22Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
22Ma ia mea hoi i lilo ai o Iesu i panai no ka berita maikai ae.
23Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
23A, o kela poe kahuna he lehulehu lakou, no ka mea, aole i haawiia mai e mau lakou, no ka make;
24But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.
24Aka, oia nei, no kona mau loa ana, he oihana kahuna lilo ole kana.
25Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.
25No ia mea, e hiki mau ai ia ia ke hoola i ka poe i hele mai i ke Akua ma ona la, no kona ola mau loa ana e uwao ana no lakou.
26Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
26Oia ke ano o ke kahuna e pono ai kakou, ka mea hemolele, hewa ole, maemae wale, kaawale hoi i na lawehala, a i hookiekieia'e hoi maluna o ua lani;
27Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.
27Aole hoi i ku ia ia ke kaumaha ana i ka mohai i kela la i keia la, e like me ua mau kahuna nui la, no ko lakou mau hewa ponoi mamua, alaila no ko na kanaka hewa; no ka mea, hookahi wale no kana hana ana ia mea, i kona wa i kaumaha ai ia ia iho.
28For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
28Na ke kanawai hoi i hoolilo i kanakanawaliwali i kahuna nui; aka, na ka olelo o ka hoohiki ana, ka mea mahope mai o ke kanawai, i hoolilo i ke Keiki, ka mea i hoohemolele mau loa ia'ku.
