Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
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:
1ουτοσ γαρ ο μελχισεδεκ βασιλευσ σαλημ ιερευσ του θεου του υψιστου ο συναντησασ αβρααμ υποστρεφοντι απο τησ κοπησ των βασιλεων και ευλογησασ αυτον
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:
2ω και δεκατην απο παντων εμερισεν αβρααμ πρωτον μεν ερμηνευομενοσ βασιλευσ δικαιοσυνησ επειτα δε και βασιλευσ σαλημ ο εστιν βασιλευσ ειρηνησ
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.
3απατωρ αμητωρ αγενεαλογητοσ μητε αρχην ημερων μητε ζωησ τελοσ εχων αφωμοιωμενοσ δε τω υιω του θεου μενει ιερευσ εισ το διηνεκεσ
4Now consider how great this man is, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave tithes out of the principal things.
4θεωρειτε δε πηλικοσ ουτοσ ω και δεκατην αβρααμ εδωκεν εκ των ακροθινιων ο πατριαρχησ
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.
5και οι μεν εκ των υιων λευι την ιερατειαν λαμβανοντεσ εντολην εχουσιν αποδεκατουν τον λαον κατα τον νομον τουτ εστιν τουσ αδελφουσ αυτων καιπερ εξεληλυθοτασ εκ τησ οσφυοσ αβρααμ
6But he, whose pedigree is not numbered among them, received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
6ο δε μη γενεαλογουμενοσ εξ αυτων δεδεκατωκεν τον αβρααμ και τον εχοντα τασ επαγγελιασ ευλογηκεν
7And without all contradiction, that which is less, is blessed by the better.
7χωρισ δε πασησ αντιλογιασ το ελαττον υπο του κρειττονοσ ευλογειται
8And here indeed, men that die, receive thithes: but there he hath witness, that he liveth.
8και ωδε μεν δεκατασ αποθνησκοντεσ ανθρωποι λαμβανουσιν εκει δε μαρτυρουμενοσ οτι ζη
9And (as it may be said) even Levi who received tithes, paid tithes in Abraham:
9και ωσ εποσ ειπειν δια αβρααμ και λευι ο δεκατασ λαμβανων δεδεκατωται
10For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedech met him.
10ετι γαρ εν τη οσφυι του πατροσ ην οτε συνηντησεν αυτω ο μελχισεδεκ
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?
11ει μεν ουν τελειωσισ δια τησ λευιτικησ ιερωσυνησ ην ο λαοσ γαρ επ αυτη νενομοθετητο τισ ετι χρεια κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ ετερον ανιστασθαι ιερεα και ου κατα την ταξιν ααρων λεγεσθαι
12For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law.
12μετατιθεμενησ γαρ τησ ιερωσυνησ εξ αναγκησ και νομου μεταθεσισ γινεται
13For he, of whom these things are spoken, is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar.
13εφ ον γαρ λεγεται ταυτα φυλησ ετερασ μετεσχηκεν αφ ησ ουδεισ προσεσχηκεν τω θυσιαστηριω
14For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
14προδηλον γαρ οτι εξ ιουδα ανατεταλκεν ο κυριοσ ημων εισ ην φυλην ουδεν περι ιερωσυνησ μωυσησ ελαλησεν
15And it is yet far more evident: if according to the similitude of Melchisedech there ariseth another priest,
15και περισσοτερον ετι καταδηλον εστιν ει κατα την ομοιοτητα μελχισεδεκ ανισταται ιερευσ ετεροσ
16Who is made not according to the law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life:
16οσ ου κατα νομον εντολησ σαρκικησ γεγονεν αλλα κατα δυναμιν ζωησ ακαταλυτου
17For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.
17μαρτυρει γαρ οτι συ ιερευσ εισ τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ
18There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof:
18αθετησισ μεν γαρ γινεται προαγουσησ εντολησ δια το αυτησ ασθενεσ και ανωφελεσ
19(For the law brought nothing to perfection,) but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.
19ουδεν γαρ ετελειωσεν ο νομοσ επεισαγωγη δε κρειττονοσ ελπιδοσ δι ησ εγγιζομεν τω θεω
20And inasmuch as it is not without an oath, (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath;
20και καθ οσον ου χωρισ ορκωμοσιασ οι μεν γαρ χωρισ ορκωμοσιασ εισιν ιερεισ γεγονοτεσ
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.)
21ο δε μετα ορκωμοσιασ δια του λεγοντοσ προσ αυτον ωμοσεν κυριοσ και ου μεταμεληθησεται συ ιερευσ εισ τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ
22By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
22κατα τοσουτον κρειττονοσ διαθηκησ γεγονεν εγγυοσ ιησουσ
23And the others indeed were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue:
23και οι μεν πλειονεσ εισιν γεγονοτεσ ιερεισ δια το θανατω κωλυεσθαι παραμενειν
24But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood,
24ο δε δια το μενειν αυτον εισ τον αιωνα απαραβατον εχει την ιερωσυνην
25Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us.
25οθεν και σωζειν εισ το παντελεσ δυναται τουσ προσερχομενουσ δι αυτου τω θεω παντοτε ζων εισ το εντυγχανειν υπερ αυτων
26For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
26τοιουτοσ γαρ ημιν επρεπεν αρχιερευσ οσιοσ ακακοσ αμιαντοσ κεχωρισμενοσ απο των αμαρτωλων και υψηλοτεροσ των ουρανων γενομενοσ
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.
27οσ ουκ εχει καθ ημεραν αναγκην ωσπερ οι αρχιερεισ προτερον υπερ των ιδιων αμαρτιων θυσιασ αναφερειν επειτα των του λαου τουτο γαρ εποιησεν εφαπαξ εαυτον ανενεγκασ
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.
28ο νομοσ γαρ ανθρωπουσ καθιστησιν αρχιερεισ εχοντασ ασθενειαν ο λογοσ δε τησ ορκωμοσιασ τησ μετα τον νομον υιον εισ τον αιωνα τετελειωμενον
