Men Ipru 7
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1IEI Melkijedek nanmarki en Jalem o jamero en Kot lapalap amen, me kotilan tu on Apraam, ni a pure do jan a kaloedi nanmarki kai, ap kapaida I.
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:
2Me Apraam pil kotiki on eijok kij eu jan ni a dipijou karoj. let wewe kaieu en mar a Nanmarki en pun; ap pil: Nanmarki en Jalem, iet wewe: Nanmarki en popol;
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:
3Me jota jam a, jota in a, jota a kainok, jota tapin a ran akan, pil jota imwin maur. A a raj on Japwilim en Kot, o a pan jamero kokolata.
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.
4Komail kilan ol lapalap men et, me jam atail Apraam kotiki on eijok kij eu en a dipijou, me lodier.
4Now consider how great this man is, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave tithes out of the principal things.
5Melel eta kadaudok en Lewi, me kajapwiladan dodok en jamero, arail kujoned mia, me ren ale jan ren aramaj akan, iei ri arail akan, eijok kij eu, duen kapun, a ir pil kijan kadaudok en Apraam.
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.
6A i, me jota kijan irail, ale eijok kij eu jan ren Apraam o kapaiada i, me aleer inau o.
6But he, whose pedigree is not numbered among them, received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7Nan melel kaualap me tikitik o kin paida jan ren me lapalap.
7And without all contradiction, that which is less, is blessed by the better.
8Ari met, aramaj akan me udan mela, kin ale eijok kij eu, a mo amen, me kadedepa mia, duen a ieiajata.
8And here indeed, men that die, receive thithes: but there he hath witness, that he liveth.
9Ari melel, pil kadaudok en Lewi me kin ale eijok kij eu, kida eijok kij eu on (Melkijedek) ki Apraam.
9And (as it may be said) even Levi who received tithes, paid tithes in Abraham:
10Pwe a mimieta nan lonelon en jam a, ni anjau Melkijedek kotilan tu on i.
10For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedech met him.
11Ari, ma dodok en jamero Lewi unjokela pwe i anjau irail aleer kapun o da katepan amen jamero en pwarado ni al en Melkijedek, a kaidin ni al en Aron?
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?
12Pwe ma dodok en jamero wukila, nan kapun pan pil wukila.
12For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law.
13A i, me je indinda, i kijan eu kainok, a jota amen jan nan kadaudok wet apwalier pei jaraui.
13For he, of whom these things are spoken, is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar.
14Pwe meid janjal, me Kaun patail tapi jan luda. Ari, iran jau wet Mojej jota katitiki meakot duen jamero.
14For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
15Mepukat janjal melel, ma amen jamero pan kotido ni al en Melkijedek,
15And it is yet far more evident: if according to the similitude of Melchisedech there ariseth another priest,
16Me jota kajapwiladar pan tiak en kujoned uduken, pwe pan manaman en maur joutuk.
16Who is made not according to the law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life:
17Pwe iet kadedepa: Komui jamero joutuk amen duen al en Melkijedek.
17For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.
18Pwe i me kujoned en maj nikier, pwe me luet o jota katepa,
18There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof:
19Pwe kapun jota kak kaun jokkala meakot, a kaporopor me mau jan men maj, pan id pwarado, me kitail kak tuki on Kot.
19(For the law brought nothing to perfection,) but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.
20O iet pil eu kajampwal: Pwe a kajapwil kida kaula a irail wiala jamero ni jota kaula.
20And inasmuch as it is not without an oath, (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath;
21A men et japwilikida kaula ren i, me kotin majani on i: Kaun o kaular, a ap jota pan kalukila: Komui jamero joutuk amen duen al en Melkijedek.
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.)
22Iei me lejuj pil wiala kapun pan inau, me mau jan men maj.
22By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
23A irail me toto, me wialar jamero, pweki ar matalar, kareda, me irail jota kak mimieta.
23And the others indeed were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue:
24A i me potopoteta, pwe a kotin aleer dodok en jamero joutuk.
24But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood,
25Ari, i me a kotin kak kamaureda melel ir karoj, me kai ki on Kot i, pwe a kotin ieiajata, pwen laolao kin ir.
25Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us.
26Pwe iduen jamero lapalap me mau on kitail, me jaraui, o jo japun, o jo jamin, o me liki jan me dipan akan, o ileila jan nanlen.
26For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27Me jota rajon jamero lapalap akan, me kin kida maj mairon pweki pein dip arail ap pweki en aramaj akan ni ran karoj. Pwe i me a kotin wiadar pan pak ta ieu, ni a kotin mueid on Kot pein i.
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.
28Pwe kapun kin kajapwiladan jamero aramaj luet akan, a majan en kaula, me wiauier murin kapun, kajapwiladar Japwilim a, me unjokalar joutuk.
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.
