Men Ipru 7
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
World English Bible
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 Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, 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 a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “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 made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
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 was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
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.
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,
6A i, me jota kijan irail, ale eijok kij eu jan ren Apraam o kapaiada i, me aleer inau o.
6but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
7Nan melel kaualap me tikitik o kin paida jan ren me lapalap.
7But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8Ari met, aramaj akan me udan mela, kin ale eijok kij eu, a mo amen, me kadedepa mia, duen a ieiajata.
8Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
9Ari melel, pil kadaudok en Lewi me kin ale eijok kij eu, kida eijok kij eu on (Melkijedek) ki Apraam.
9We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
10Pwe a mimieta nan lonelon en jam a, ni anjau Melkijedek kotilan tu on i.
10for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek 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?
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?
12Pwe ma dodok en jamero wukila, nan kapun pan pil wukila.
12For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in 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 said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at 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 has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15Mepukat janjal melel, ma amen jamero pan kotido ni al en Melkijedek,
15This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
16Me jota kajapwiladar pan tiak en kujoned uduken, pwe pan manaman en maur joutuk.
16who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
17Pwe iet kadedepa: Komui jamero joutuk amen duen al en Melkijedek.
17for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
18Pwe i me kujoned en maj nikier, pwe me luet o jota katepa,
18For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
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 made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20O iet pil eu kajampwal: Pwe a kajapwil kida kaula a irail wiala jamero ni jota kaula.
20Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of 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.
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.’”
22Iei me lejuj pil wiala kapun pan inau, me mau jan men maj.
22By so much, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23A irail me toto, me wialar jamero, pweki ar matalar, kareda, me irail jota kak mimieta.
23Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
24A i me potopoteta, pwe a kotin aleer dodok en jamero joutuk.
24But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.
25Ari, i me a kotin kak kamaureda melel ir karoj, me kai ki on Kot i, pwe a kotin ieiajata, pwen laolao kin ir.
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.
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 such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, 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 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.
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 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.
