Ciise Wuxuu Ahaa Wadaad Sare Sidii Malkisadaq Oo Kale

Malkisadaqan, oo Saalem boqorka u ahaa, wadaadkii Ilaaha ugu sarreeyana ahaa, wuxuu la kulmay Ibraahim oo ka soo noqday layntii boqorrada, wuuna barakeeyey. Oo Ibraahim wuxuu isagii wax kasta ka siiyey toban meelood oo meel. Malkisadaq hortii waxaa magiciisii lagu fasiray, Boqorka Xaqnimada, dabadeedna, Boqorka Saalem, oo ah Boqorka Nabadda. Aabbe ma lahayn, hooyona ma lahayn, abtirsiinyona ma lahayn, oo isagoo aan lahayn bilowga maalmaha ama dhammaadka nolosha laakiin loo ekaysiiyey Wiilka Ilaah, ayuu weligiis wadaad sii ahaanayaa.

Haddaba ka fiirsada ninkanu siduu u weynaa, kan Ibraahim oo madaxda awowayaashii ahi meeltobnaad ka siiyey boolidii. Oo runtii kuwii qoladii Laawi oo helay shuqulka wadaadnimada waxay haystaan amar ay dadka kaga qaataan meeltobnaadka sida sharcigu leeyahay, kuwaas waxaa weeye walaalahood in kastoo ay kuwanu ka yimaadeen xanjaadka Ibraahim. Laakiin kii aan iyaga ku abtirsanin ayaa wuxuu Ibraahim ka qaatay meeltobnaadyo, oo barakeeyey kii ballamada loo qaaday. Laakiin muranla'aan kan yar waxaa barakeeya kan ka wanaagsan. Oo halkan waxaa meeltobnaadyada qaata dadka dhinta, laakiin halkaas mid loo markhaati furay inuu nool yahay. Waxaa la odhan kara, Laawiga meeltobnaadyada qaataana, Ibraahim meeltobnaadyo ayuu ku bixiyey. 10 Waayo, isagu weli xanjaadkii aabbihiis buu ku jiray kolkii Malkisadaq la kulmay.

Ciise Wadaadnimadiisu Way Ka Sarraysaa Wadaadnimada Yuhuudda

11 Haddaba haddii kaamilnimo ku jirtay wadaadnimadii Laawi, waayo, iyada ayuu dadku sharciga ka hoos helaye, maxaa weli loogu baahnaa in wadaad kale ka kaco derejadii Malkisadaq oo aan lagu magacaabin derejadii Haaruun? 12 Waayo, wadaadnimada markii la beddelo waa lagamamaarmaan in sharcigana la beddelo. 13 Waayo, kii waxyaalahan laga sheegay waa qolo kale oo aan nin meeshii allabariga ka shaqeeyey ka iman. 14 Waa cad dahay in Sayidkeennu ka soo baxay Yahuudah, oo ah qolo aan Muuse kaga hadlin wax wadaaddo ku saabsan. 15 Oo weliba aad bay u sii cad dahay, haddii wadaad kale oo Malkisadaq u egi kaco, 16 kii aan wadaad lagaga dhigin sharciga abtirsiinyada xagga jidhka, laakiin xagga xoogga nolosha aan dhammaadka lahayn. 17 Waayo, isaga waxaa loogu markhaati furay,

Adigu weligaaba wadaad baad tahay
Sidii derejadii Malkisadaq.

18 Waayo, amarkii hore waxaa loo buriyey itaaldarradiisii iyo faa'iidola'aantiisii, 19 maxaa yeelay, sharcigu waxba ma uu kaamilin. Oo waxaa la keenay rajo ka wanaagsan oo aynu Ilaah ugu dhowaanno. 20 Oo isagu dhaarla'aan wadaad kuma uu noqon. 21 Iyagu dhaarla'aan bay wadaaddo ku noqdeen, laakiin isagu wuxuu ku noqday dhaarta kan ku yidhi,

Rabbigu waa dhaartay, kana soo noqon maayo,
Adigu weligaaba wadaad baad tahay.

22 Oo sidaasuu Ciise ku noqday dammiinka axdiga ka wanaagsan. 23 Iyaguna waxay noqdeen wadaaddo tiro badan, maxaa yeelay, dhimashada ayaa ka joojisay inay sii jiraan: 24 Isaguse wuxuu haystaa wadaadnimadiisa aan beddelmi karin, waayo, weligiis buu sii jirayaa. 25 Sidaas daraaddeed dhammaan buu u badbaadin karaa kuwa Ilaah ugu dhowaada isaga, maxaa yeelay, isagu weligiis waa nool yahay si uu ugu duceeyo iyaga.

26 Waayo, wadaad sare oo caynkan ahu waa inagu habboonaa, mid quduus ah oo aan khiyaano iyo wasakh toona lahayn, oo dembilayaasha ka soocan, oo samooyinka laga sarraysiiyey, 27 kan aan u baahnayn inuu maalin walba allabari u bixiyo sida wadaaddadii sare, kolka hore dembiyadiisa aawadood, dabadeedna kuwa dadka aawadood; tan mar keliya ayuu sameeyey markuu isbixiyey. 28 Waayo, sharcigu niman itaaldaran ayuu wadaaddo sare ka dhigaa, laakiin hadalka dhaarta oo sharciga ka dambeeyey wuxuu ka dhigaa Wiil weligiis kaamil ah.

Melchizedek the Priest

This Melchizedek was king of Salem(A) and priest of God Most High.(B) He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,(C) and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” Without father or mother, without genealogy,(D) without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God,(E) he remains a priest forever.

Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch(F) Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!(G) Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people(H)—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham. This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed(I) him who had the promises.(J) And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater. In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.(K) One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, 10 because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.

Jesus Like Melchizedek

11 If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people(L) established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come,(M) one in the order of Melchizedek,(N) not in the order of Aaron? 12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also. 13 He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe,(O) and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar.(P) 14 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah,(Q) and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. 15 And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, 16 one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is declared:

“You are a priest forever,
    in the order of Melchizedek.”[a](R)

18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless(S) 19 (for the law made nothing perfect),(T) and a better hope(U) is introduced, by which we draw near to God.(V)

20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, 21 but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him:

“The Lord has sworn
    and will not change his mind:(W)
    ‘You are a priest forever.’”[b](X)

22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.(Y)

23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.(Z) 25 Therefore he is able to save(AA) completely[c] those who come to God(AB) through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.(AC)

26 Such a high priest(AD) truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,(AE) exalted above the heavens.(AF) 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices(AG) day after day, first for his own sins,(AH) and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all(AI) when he offered himself.(AJ) 28 For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness;(AK) but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son,(AL) who has been made perfect(AM) forever.

Footnotes

  1. Hebrews 7:17 Psalm 110:4
  2. Hebrews 7:21 Psalm 110:4
  3. Hebrews 7:25 Or forever

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
