Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1For this Melchisedech was king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him:
1這 麥基洗德 就是 撒冷 王，又是至高上帝的祭司，本是長遠為祭司的。他當 亞伯拉罕 殺敗諸王回來的時候，就迎接他，給他祝福。
2To whom also Abraham divided the tithes of all: who first indeed by interpretation, is king of justice: and then also king of Salem, that is, king of peace:
2亞伯拉罕 也將自己所得來的，取十分之一給他。他頭一個名翻出來就是仁義王，他又名 撒冷 王，就是平安王的意思。
3Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but likened unto the Son of God, continueth a priest for ever.
3他無父，無母，無族譜，無生之始，無命之終，乃是與上帝的兒子相似。
4Now consider how great this man is, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave tithes out of the principal things.
4你們想一想，先祖 亞伯拉罕 將自己所擄來上等之物取十分之一給他，這人是何等尊貴呢！
5And indeed they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is to say, of their brethren: though they themselves also came out of the loins of Abraham.
5那得祭司職任的 利未 子孫，領命照例向百姓取十分之一，這百姓是自己的弟兄，雖是從 亞伯拉罕 身中生的，還是照例 取十分之一 。
6But he, whose pedigree is not numbered among them, received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
6獨有 麥基洗德 ，不與他們同譜，倒收納 亞伯拉罕 的十分之一，為那蒙應許的 亞伯拉罕 祝福。
7And without all contradiction, that which is less, is blessed by the better.
7從來位分大的給位分小的祝福，這是駁不倒的理。
8And here indeed, men that die, receive thithes: but there he hath witness, that he liveth.
8在這裏收十分之一的都是必死的人；但在那裏收十分之一的，有為他作見證的說，他是活的；
9And (as it may be said) even Levi who received tithes, paid tithes in Abraham:
9並且可說那受十分之一的 利未 ，也是藉着 亞伯拉罕 納了十分之一。
10For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedech met him.
10因為 麥基洗德 迎接 亞伯拉罕 的時候， 利未 已經在他先祖的身中。
11If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?
11從前百姓在 利未 人祭司職任以下受律法，倘若藉這職任能得完全，又何用另外興起一位祭司，照 麥基洗德 的等次，不照 亞倫 的等次呢？
12For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law.
12祭司的職任既已更改，律法也必須更改。
13For he, of whom these things are spoken, is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar.
13因為這話所指的人本屬別的支派，那支派裏從來沒有一人伺候祭壇。
14For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
14我們的主分明是從 猶大 出來的；但這支派， 摩西 並沒有提到祭司。
15And it is yet far more evident: if according to the similitude of Melchisedech there ariseth another priest,
15倘若照 麥基洗德 的樣式，另外興起一位祭司來， 我的話 更是顯而易見的了。
16Who is made not according to the law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life:
16他成為祭司，並不是照屬肉體的條例，乃是照無窮之生命的大能。
17For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.
17因為有給他作見證的說：「你是照着 麥基洗德 的等次永遠為祭司。」
18There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof:
18先前的條例，因軟弱無益，所以廢掉了，
19(For the law brought nothing to perfection,) but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.
19（律法原來一無所成）就引進了更美的指望；靠這指望，我們便可以進到上帝面前。
20And inasmuch as it is not without an oath, (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath;
20再者， 耶穌為祭司 ，並不是不起誓立的。
21But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever.)
21至於那些祭司，原不是起誓立的，只有耶穌是起誓立的；因為那立他的對他說：「主起了誓，決不後悔，你是永遠為祭司。」
22By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
22既是起誓立的，耶穌就作了更美之約的中保。
23And the others indeed were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue:
23那些成為祭司的，數目本來多，是因為有死阻隔，不能長久。
24But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood,
24這位既是永遠常存的，他祭司的職任就長久不更換。
25Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us.
25凡靠着他進到上帝面前的人，他都能拯救到底；因為他是長遠活着，替他們祈求。
26For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
26像這樣聖潔、無邪惡、無玷污、遠離罪人、高過諸天的大祭司，原是與我們合宜的。
27Who needeth not daily (as the other priests) to offer sacrifices first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, in offering himself.
27他不像那些大祭司，每日必須先為自己的罪，後為百姓的罪獻祭；因為他只一次將自己獻上，就把這事成全了。
28For the law maketh men priests, who have infirmity: but the word of the oath, which was since the law, the Son who is perfected for evermore.
28律法本是立軟弱的人為大祭司；但在律法以後起誓的話，是立兒子為大祭司，乃是成全到永遠的。
