Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, 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 a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “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 made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
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 was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
4θεωρειτε δε πηλικοσ ουτοσ ω και δεκατην αβρααμ εδωκεν εκ των ακροθινιων ο πατριαρχησ
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,
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 genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
6ο δε μη γενεαλογουμενοσ εξ αυτων δεδεκατωκεν τον αβρααμ και τον εχοντα τασ επαγγελιασ ευλογηκεν
7But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
7χωρισ δε πασησ αντιλογιασ το ελαττον υπο του κρειττονοσ ευλογειται
8Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
8και ωδε μεν δεκατασ αποθνησκοντεσ ανθρωποι λαμβανουσιν εκει δε μαρτυρουμενοσ οτι ζη
9We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
9και ωσ εποσ ειπειν δια αβρααμ και λευι ο δεκατασ λαμβανων δεδεκατωται
10for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
10ετι γαρ εν τη οσφυι του πατροσ ην οτε συνηντησεν αυτω ο μελχισεδεκ
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?
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 changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
12μετατιθεμενησ γαρ τησ ιερωσυνησ εξ αναγκησ και νομου μεταθεσισ γινεται
13For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
13εφ ον γαρ λεγεται ταυτα φυλησ ετερασ μετεσχηκεν αφ ησ ουδεισ προσεσχηκεν τω θυσιαστηριω
14For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
14προδηλον γαρ οτι εξ ιουδα ανατεταλκεν ο κυριοσ ημων εισ ην φυλην ουδεν περι ιερωσυνησ μωυσησ ελαλησεν
15This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
15και περισσοτερον ετι καταδηλον εστιν ει κατα την ομοιοτητα μελχισεδεκ ανισταται ιερευσ ετεροσ
16who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
16οσ ου κατα νομον εντολησ σαρκικησ γεγονεν αλλα κατα δυναμιν ζωησ ακαταλυτου
17for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
17μαρτυρει γαρ οτι συ ιερευσ εισ τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ
18For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
18αθετησισ μεν γαρ γινεται προαγουσησ εντολησ δια το αυτησ ασθενεσ και ανωφελεσ
19(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
19ουδεν γαρ ετελειωσεν ο νομοσ επεισαγωγη δε κρειττονοσ ελπιδοσ δι ησ εγγιζομεν τω θεω
20Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
20και καθ οσον ου χωρισ ορκωμοσιασ οι μεν γαρ χωρισ ορκωμοσιασ εισιν ιερεισ γεγονοτεσ
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.’”
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, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
22κατα τοσουτον κρειττονοσ διαθηκησ γεγονεν εγγυοσ ιησουσ
23Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
23και οι μεν πλειονεσ εισιν γεγονοτεσ ιερεισ δια το θανατω κωλυεσθαι παραμενειν
24But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.
24ο δε δια το μενειν αυτον εισ τον αιωνα απαραβατον εχει την ιερωσυνην
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.
25οθεν και σωζειν εισ το παντελεσ δυναται τουσ προσερχομενουσ δι αυτου τω θεω παντοτε ζων εισ το εντυγχανειν υπερ αυτων
26For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, 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 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.
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 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.
28ο νομοσ γαρ ανθρωπουσ καθιστησιν αρχιερεισ εχοντασ ασθενειαν ο λογοσ δε τησ ορκωμοσιασ τησ μετα τον νομον υιον εισ τον αιωνα τετελειωμενον
