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;
1 Melkisedeg moomu doon buuru Salem, moo nekkoon saraxalekat ca Yàlla Aji Kawe ji. Gannaaw ba Ibraayma dàqee buur ya, ba dellusi, Melkisedeg gatandu woon na ko, di ko barkeel.
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;
2 Noonu Ibraayma fab fukkeelu cér bi, maanaam asaka, ci li mu jële woon ci xare ba lépp, jox ko. Ci lu jëkk turu Melkisedeg mi ngi tekki «buur bu jub bi.» Gannaaw loolu mooy buuru Salem, tur woowu mooy tekki «buuru jàmm.»
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.
3 Melkisedeg nag xamaluñu ko baay, xamaluñu ko yaay walla menn maam. Amul fenn fu ñu wax ag juddoom walla ag deeyam. Moo tax nu di ko mengale ak Doomu Yàlla ji, ndaxte saraxalekat la bu kenn dul wuutu.
4Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
4 Seetleen ni mu màgge, moom Melkisedeg! Ibraayma sax, maamu cosaan mi, fab na li mu jële woon lépp ca xare ba, jox Melkisedeg asaka ja.
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:
5 Yoonu Musaa digle na ne, ñi bokk ci giiru Lewi te di ay saraxalekat, nañu jot asaka ci alalu bànni Israyil, doonte sax ñuy seeni bokk te soqikoo ci Ibraayma.
6But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
6 Waaye Melkisedeg mi bokkul woon ci giiru Lewi, jotoon na asaka ci alali Ibraayma. Te rax-ca-dolli barkeel na ko, moom mi Yàlla sédde woon dige yi.
7And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
7 Kiy barkeel a gën a màgg ki ñuy barkeel, loolu amu ci benn werante.
8And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
8 Saraxalekat yi soqikoo ci Lewi, ñu ngi jot asaka, ni ko Melkisedeg jote woon. Waaye ñoom ñu nar a dee lañu. Melkisedeg nag moom, Mbind mi wóoral na ne, dafay dund.
9And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
9 Léegi nag ci ni ñu ko man a waxe, Lewi miy jot asaka ci bànni Israyil, moom ci boppam jox na ko Melkisedeg, jaare ko ci Ibraayma.
10For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
10 Ndaxte mi ngi nekkoon ci geñog maamam Ibraayma, bi ko Melkisedeg gatandoo.
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?
11 Jox nañu bànni Israyil yoon wu sukkandiku ci liggéeyu saraxalekat yi soqikoo ci Lewi. Su fekkoonte ne nag liggéeyu saraxalekat yooyu manoon na yeggale nit cig mat, kon du soxlaati ab saraxalekat ni ko Melkisedeg nekke, ci fànn gu wuute ak gu Aaroona.
12For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
12 Te bu ñu fi jëlee saraxalekat yi ak seen liggéey, dañoo war a toxal itam yoon, wi ñu fi tëraloon.
13For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
13 Noonu Yeesu mi nuy wax, mi ngi soqikoo ci geneen giir gu bokkul ak giiru Lewi. Giir googu nag, amu ci kenn ku ci mas a def liggéeyu saraxale ca saraxalukaay ba.
14For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
14 Li wóor moo di, sunu Boroom mi ngi soqikoo ci giiru Yuda. Te bi Musaa bindee ci mbirum saraxalekat yi, limaalewul woon giir googu.
15And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
15 Li waral mbir mi gën a leer moo di ne, beneen saraxalekat bu mel ni Melkisedeg dafa ñëw.
16Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
16 Te defuñu ko saraxalekat jaarale ko ci yoonu ndono, waaye fal nañu ko ci dooley dund gu amul àpp.
17For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
17 Ndaxte seedeel nañu Yeesu lii:«Doon nga saraxalekat ba fàwwmel ni Melkisedeg.»
18For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
18 Noonu tebbi nañu yoon wu jëkk, wa néewoon doole te meññul dara
19For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
19 --ndax yoonu Musaa yeggalewul dara cig mat — waaye dugalal nañu nu fii yaakaar ju gën ju nu man a jaare ngir jege Yàlla.
20And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
20 Te rax-ca-dolli ngiñ ànd na ci. Ndaxte ñi soqikoo ci Lewi doon nañu ay saraxalekat te kenn giñul.
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:)
21 Waaye nag Yeesu moom doon na saraxalekat, bi Yàlla giñee ne ko:«Boroom bi giñ nate du dellu gannaaw mukk:“Doon nga saraxalekat ba fàww.”»
22By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
22 Ngiñ loolu moo tax Yeesu nekk tayle, giy wóoral kóllëre gi gën.
23And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
23 Te it yeneen saraxalekat yi dañoo bare woon, ndaxte dee moo daan tax duñu man a sax ci seen liggéey.
24But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
24 Waaye Yeesu miy dund ba fàww, sasoo na liggéeyu saraxale bu sax fàww.
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.
25 Loolu moo tax it mu man a musal tey yeggale cig mat ñiy jaar ci moom te bëgg jege Yàlla, ndaxte mi ngi dund ba fàww ngir di leen rammu.
26For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
26 Kon nag Yeesu mooy saraxalekat bu mag, bi nu soxla; dafa sell, du def lu bon, du taq bàkkaar, bokkul dara ak bàkkaarkat yi, te yéege nañu ko fa Yàlla.
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.
27 Niroowul ak yeneen saraxalekat yu mag yi; soxlawul di def bés bu set ay saraxi mala ngir bàkkaari boppam jëkk, teg ca yoy mbooloo mi. Yeesu def na sarax benn yoon ba fàww ngir dindi bàkkaar yi, bi muy joxe bakkanam.
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.
28 Naka yoonu Musaa, aji néew doole yi lay fal saraxalekat yu mag. Waaye ngiñu Yàlla gi ñëw gannaaw yoon wi, Doom ji la fal saraxalekat bu mag bu mat ba fàww.
