Hebera 7
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
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.
1For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
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.
2to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”,
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.
3without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
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.
4Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
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:
5They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
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.
6but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
7A he mea hoopaapaa ole ia keia, ua hoomaikaiia'ku ka mea i emi iho e ka mea i oi aku.
7But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
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.
8Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
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.
9We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
10No ka mea, maloko no oia o ka puhaka o kona kupuna i ka wa i halawai ai o Melekisedeka me ia.
10for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
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?
11Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12Aka, i kahuliia ka oihana kahuna, he pono no hoi e kahuliia ke kanawai.
12For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
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.
13For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
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.
14For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15A ua akaka loa ae kela mea, i ke kupu ana o kekahi kahuna e, e like me Melekisedeka,
15This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
16I hooliloia pela, aole make kanawai o ko ke kino, aka, ma ka mana o ke ola e mau loa ana.
16who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
17Ua hooiaio mai no hoi ia, He kahuna mau loa oe mamuli o ke ano o Melekisedeka.
17for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
18Ua waikoia'o no kela kanawai mua, no kona nawaliwali, a me kona pono ole.
18For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
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.
19(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20A no ka mea hoi, aole me ka hoohiki ole ana,
20Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
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;)
21(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, “The Lord swore and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’”
22Ma ia mea hoi i lilo ai o Iesu i panai no ka berita maikai ae.
22By so much, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23A, o kela poe kahuna he lehulehu lakou, no ka mea, aole i haawiia mai e mau lakou, no ka make;
23Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
24Aka, oia nei, no kona mau loa ana, he oihana kahuna lilo ole kana.
24But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.
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.
25Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
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;
26For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
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.
27who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
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.
28For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.
