Berean Standard Bible
1ουτοσ γαρ ο μελχισεδεκ βασιλευσ σαλημ ιερευσ του θεου του υψιστου ο συναντησασ αβρααμ υποστρεφοντι απο τησ κοπησ των βασιλεων και ευλογησασ αυτον
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,
2ω και δεκατην απο παντων εμερισεν αβρααμ πρωτον μεν ερμηνευομενοσ βασιλευσ δικαιοσυνησ επειτα δε και βασιλευσ σαλημ ο εστιν βασιλευσ ειρηνησ
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.”
3απατωρ αμητωρ αγενεαλογητοσ μητε αρχην ημερων μητε ζωησ τελοσ εχων αφωμοιωμενοσ δε τω υιω του θεου μενει ιερευσ εισ το διηνεκεσ
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.
4θεωρειτε δε πηλικοσ ουτοσ ω και δεκατην αβρααμ εδωκεν εκ των ακροθινιων ο πατριαρχησ
4Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.
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
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.
6ο δε μη γενεαλογουμενοσ εξ αυτων δεδεκατωκεν τον αβρααμ και τον εχοντα τασ επαγγελιασ ευλογηκεν
6But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7χωρισ δε πασησ αντιλογιασ το ελαττον υπο του κρειττονοσ ευλογειται
7And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8και ωδε μεν δεκατασ αποθνησκοντεσ ανθρωποι λαμβανουσιν εκει δε μαρτυρουμενοσ οτι ζη
8In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.
9και ωσ εποσ ειπειν δια αβρααμ και λευι ο δεκατασ λαμβανων δεδεκατωται
9And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.
10ετι γαρ εν τη οσφυι του πατροσ ην οτε συνηντησεν αυτω ο μελχισεδεκ
10For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.
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
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?
12μετατιθεμενησ γαρ τησ ιερωσυνησ εξ αναγκησ και νομου μεταθεσισ γινεται
12For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.
13εφ ον γαρ λεγεται ταυτα φυλησ ετερασ μετεσχηκεν αφ ησ ουδεισ προσεσχηκεν τω θυσιαστηριω
13He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
14προδηλον γαρ οτι εξ ιουδα ανατεταλκεν ο κυριοσ ημων εισ ην φυλην ουδεν περι ιερωσυνησ μωυσησ ελαλησεν
14For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.
15και περισσοτερον ετι καταδηλον εστιν ει κατα την ομοιοτητα μελχισεδεκ ανισταται ιερευσ ετεροσ
15And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
16οσ ου κατα νομον εντολησ σαρκικησ γεγονεν αλλα κατα δυναμιν ζωησ ακαταλυτου
16one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.
17μαρτυρει γαρ οτι συ ιερευσ εισ τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ
17For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
18αθετησισ μεν γαρ γινεται προαγουσησ εντολησ δια το αυτησ ασθενεσ και ανωφελεσ
18So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
19ουδεν γαρ ετελειωσεν ο νομοσ επεισαγωγη δε κρειττονοσ ελπιδοσ δι ησ εγγιζομεν τω θεω
19(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
20και καθ οσον ου χωρισ ορκωμοσιασ οι μεν γαρ χωρισ ορκωμοσιασ εισιν ιερεισ γεγονοτεσ
20And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
21ο δε μετα ορκωμοσιασ δια του λεγοντοσ προσ αυτον ωμοσεν κυριοσ και ου μεταμεληθησεται συ ιερευσ εισ τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ
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.’”
22κατα τοσουτον κρειττονοσ διαθηκησ γεγονεν εγγυοσ ιησουσ
22Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23και οι μεν πλειονεσ εισιν γεγονοτεσ ιερεισ δια το θανατω κωλυεσθαι παραμενειν
23Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
24ο δε δια το μενειν αυτον εισ τον αιωνα απαραβατον εχει την ιερωσυνην
24But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.
25οθεν και σωζειν εισ το παντελεσ δυναται τουσ προσερχομενουσ δι αυτου τω θεω παντοτε ζων εισ το εντυγχανειν υπερ αυτων
25Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.
26τοιουτοσ γαρ ημιν επρεπεν αρχιερευσ οσιοσ ακακοσ αμιαντοσ κεχωρισμενοσ απο των αμαρτωλων και υψηλοτεροσ των ουρανων γενομενοσ
26Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
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
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.
28ο νομοσ γαρ ανθρωπουσ καθιστησιν αρχιερεισ εχοντασ ασθενειαν ο λογοσ δε τησ ορκωμοσιασ τησ μετα τον νομον υιον εισ τον αιωνα τετελειωμενον
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.
