¹For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

¹Melkisedek toei, raja hi ngata Salem owi, pai' imam wo'o-i, to mpokamu bago mpepue' hi Alata'ala Topejadi'. Nto'u-na Abraham nculii' ngkai panga'ea mpodagi raja-raja, Melkisedek toe-imi to tumai mpotomu-i pai' mpogane' -i.

²To 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;

²Oti toe, Abraham mpobagi rewa to narata hi rala panga'ea, pai' -i mpowai' hampobagiahampulu' hi Melkisedek. Hanga' Melkisedek, batua-na: "Magau' to monoa'." Pai' wo'o, apa' magau' hi ngata Salem wo'o-i, hanga' -na to hanyala: "Magau' to mpokeni kalompea' tuwu'," apa' batua-na hanga' Salem toe, kalompea' tuwu'.

³Without 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.

³Ane tabasa tutura-na, uma rakahangai' tuama-na ba tina-na ba tauna to mpomuli-ki, uma ria to mpotutura pontepu'ua tuwu' -na ba kahudua tuwu' -na. Ma'ala-mi ta'uli': Melkisedek toe hibalia hante Ana' Alata'ala, apa' jadi' imam ncuu-i duu' kahae-hae-na.

⁴Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

⁴Jadi', hi tutura tohe'i tahilo kabohe tuwu' -na Melkisedek. Ane Abraham, bohe moto wo'o-hawo tuwu' -na, apa' hi'a to rapotuama hawe'ea to Yahudi. Aga nau' wae, Abraham mpobila' -i Melkisedek pai' nawai' -i hampobagiahampulu' ngkai rewa to narata hi rala panga'ea.

⁵And 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:

⁵Ntuku' atura agama Yahudi, hawe'ea to Yahudi kana mpewai' hampobagiahampulu' ngkai pomporataa-ra hi imam-imam muli Lewi. Nau' muli Abraham omea-ra, imam-imam mpesingarai' ada toe hi hingka ompi' -ra.

⁶But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

⁶Melkisedek, bela-i muli Lewi. Aga nau' wae, mporata moto-i hampobagiahampulu' ngkai Abraham. Pai' wo'o, nau' Abraham mporata janci ngkai Alata'ala, bela Abraham to mpogane' Melkisedek, Melkisedek lau-di to mpogane' Abraham.

⁷And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

⁷Pai' monoa' ta'inca, tauna to ragane' tepahi'ara' tuwu' -na ngkai topegane'. Jadi', Melkisedek meliu kabohe tuwu' -na ngkai Abraham.

⁸And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

⁸Wae wo'o, Melkisedek meliu kabohe tuwu' -na ngkai imam-imam muli Lewi. Imam muli Lewi toera, mporata moto-ra hampobagiahampulu' ngkai doo-ra. Aga imam toera, bate mate moto wo'o-ra-wadi-rawo hewa manusia' biasa. Hiaa' Melkisedek mporata hampobagiahampulu' ngkai Abraham, pai' uma ria te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli' to mpokahangai' kamate-na. Jadi', ma'ala ta'uli', tuwu' liu-liu-i-hana.

⁹And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

⁹Imam muli Lewi mporata moto-ra hampobagiahampulu' ngkai doo-ra. Aga ma'ala-mi ta'uli': imam muli Lewi toera mpobayari hampobagiahampulu' hi Melkisedek.

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

¹⁰Apa' Lewi toei, kumpu karolapi-na Abraham. Nto'u Melkisedek mpotomu Abraham, Lewi ko'ia putu, hi rala woto Abraham-i-pidi. Jadi', ane Abraham mpobayari hi Melkisedek, tantu Lewi pai' imam muli Lewi tepahi'ara' wo'o katuwu' -ra ngkai Melkisedek.

¹¹If 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?

¹¹Nto'u Alata'ala mpowai' Atura-na hi to Yahudi, na'ongko' muli Lewi napajadi' -ra imam to mpohawai' ntodea mpotuku' Atura-na toe. Tapi' pobago imam toera uma mpomoroli' manusia' hi poncilo Alata'ala. Toe-mi pai' kana mehupa' imam to ntani' -nae. Imam to mehupa' toei, imam to hewa Melkisedek, bela-i muli Lewi hewa Harun.

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

¹²Jadi', ane imam-imam muli Lewi rasampei hante imam to ntani' -na, Atura Musa wo'o bate kana rasampei.

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

¹⁴To ratoa' hi rehe'i, Pue' -ta. Apa' ta'inca moto: Pue' -ta putu ngkai muli Yehuda-i, bela-i ngkai muli Lewi. Ko'ia ria hadua ngkai posantina Yehuda to ra'ongko' jadi' imam, apa' hi rala atura imam, uma ria hangkania Musa mpokahangai' posantina-na Yehuda.

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

¹⁵Jadi' hangkedi' kanoto-na karasampei-na Atura Musa pai' imam muli Lewi, apa' Imam Bohe-ta to lako' mehupa' toei, imam to hewa Melkisedek, bela-i ngkai muli Lewi.

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

¹⁶Ra'ongko' -i jadi' imam, uma ntuku' atura to mpakatantu kamuli hema-nai. Ra'ongko' -i jadi' imam apa' ngkai kabaraka' -na pai' tuwu' -na to uma ria kahudua-na.

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

¹⁷Apa' hi rala Buku Tomoroli' te'uki' hewa toi: Iko-mi imam duu' kahae-hae-na, hewa pobago-na Melkisedek owi."

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

¹⁹Uma-pi ria kalaua-na Atura Musa, apa' Atura toe uma-i bisa tapo'ohea mpomohui' Alata'ala-- batua-na, uma-ta jadi' monoa' hi poncilo Alata'ala hi kampotuku' -ta Atura Musa. Toe pai' atura to ri'ulu toe rabahaka-mi pai' rasampei hante ohea to meliu kalompe' -na: Yesus mpowai' -ta poncarumakaa to meliu kalompe' -na, apa' ngkai petauntongoi' -na, ma'ala-tamo mpomohui' Alata'ala.

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

²⁰Meliu ngkai toe, Yesus jadi' imam hante sumpa Alata'ala. Imam-imam to ntani' -na, uma-ra-hawo ra'ongko' jadi' imam hante sumpa.

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

²¹Tapi' kara'ongko' -na Yesus jadi' imam, ria-hana sumpa Alata'ala. Alata'ala mpo'uli' -ki hewa toi: Mosumpa-ama Aku' Pue' Ala, pai' uma kubalii' lolita-ku: Iko-mi imam duu' kahae-hae-na."

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

²²Jadi', ngkai posumpa-na Alata'ala toe, monoto-mi ta'inca: Yesus mporohoi pojanci to mpoposidai' -ta hante Alata'ala, pai' pojanci toe meliu kalompe' -na ngkai pojanci to ri'ulu, to nababehi Alata'ala hi to Yahudi.

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:)

²³Ria-pi hanyala: imam-imam muli Lewi wori' -ra, apa' tau biasa-ra to bate mate wo'o-ra-wadi-rawo. Uma ria to kaliliu pobago-ra: mate hadua, nasampei wo'o-mi kahadua-na, kawae-kawae-na.

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

²⁴Hiaa' Yesus-hana, huraa-na uma mobali' pai' uma mentoli hi kahadua-na, apa' tuwu' liu-liu-i-hana.

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

²⁵Toe pai' ria kuasa-na mpobahaka-ta ngkai huku' jeko' -ta pai' mpowai' -ta kalompea' hante uma ria kakuraa' -na, ane tamohui' Alata'ala hi rala hanga' -na. Apa' tuwu' liu-liu-i-hana, pai' tida-i mpome'alai' -ta hi nyanyoa Alata'ala.

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

²⁶Jadi', Yesus toe-imi Imam Bohe to mpokule' mpotulungi-ta. Moroli' -i, uma ria sala' -na ba kakuraa' -na. Nau' manusia' -i, uma-i-hana mojeko' hewa manusia'. Ra'ongko' -imi hilou hi po'ohaa' to meliu kalangko-na ngkai hawe'ea to hi langi'.

²⁵Wherefore 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.

²⁷Uma-i hewa imam-imam bohe to ntani' -na. Imam toera, butu eo-na mpotonu-ra pepue', lomo' -na pepue' to mpohompo' jeko' -ra moto ulu, pai' lako' mpotonu-ra pepue' to mpohompo' jeko' ntodea. Yesus, hangkani lau-i-wadi mpotonu pepue' -na hi Alata'ala, nto'u-na mpotonu woto-na moto bona rapatehi. Pepue' -na toe uma-pi mingki' rahulii' tena duu' kahae-hae-na.

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

²⁸Tauna to jadi' Imam Bohe ntuku' Atura Musa, tauna to lente, apa' manusia' biasa-ra-rawo. Aga ngkabokoa' ngkai Atura Musa toe, Alata'ala mpohowa' lolita posumpa-na, pai' hante lolita posumpa-na toe, mpo'ongko' Ana' -na moto-imi jadi' Imam Bohe. Pai' Ana' -na toei jadi' Topetolo' to uma ria kakuraa' -na pai' to tida duu' kahae-hae-na.

²⁷Who 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.

²⁸For 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.
