¹Ecen Melchisedech haur cen Salemgo regue, Iainco subiranoaren Sacrificadore, cein bidera ilki içan baitzayón Abrahami haur reguén deseguitetic itzultzen cela, eta harc ceçan benedica:

¹For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him,

²Hari hamarrena-ere gauça gucietaric parti cieçón Abrahamec: eta lehenic hura da interpretatzen iustitiazco regue, eta guero Salemgo regue-ere: cein erran nahi baita baquezco regue:

²to whom also a tenth of all did Abraham divide, (first, indeed, being interpreted, `King of righteousness,` and then also, King of Salem, which is, King of Peace,)

³Aita gabe, ama gabe, leinu gabe: eztuelaric egunén hatseric, ez vicitzearen finic: baina Iaincoaren Semearen irudico eguin içanic, dago Sacrificadore eternalqui.

³without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually.

⁴Considera eçaçue bada cein handi eguin içan den haur, ceini Abraham patriarchac despuilletaco hamarrena-ere eman baitzieçón.

⁴And see how great this one [is], to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils,

⁵Eta Leuiren semetaric diradenéc Sacrificadoregoa dutelaric, manua baduté populuaganic hamarrenaren hartzeco Leguearen arauez, erran nahi baita, bere anayetaric, Abrahamen guerruncetic ilki içan badirade-ere.

⁵and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, a command have to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham;

⁶Baina hec diraden leinu bereco contatzen eztenac, hamarrena hartu vkan du Abrahamganic, eta promessac cituena benedicatu vkan du.

⁶and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed,

⁷Eta contradictioneric batre gabe chipién dena guehién denaz benedicatzen da.

⁷and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed —

⁸Eta hemen hiltzen diraden guiçonec hamarrenac hartzen dituzté: baina han vici dela testimoniage duenac hartzen ditu.

⁸and here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there [he], who is testified to that he was living,

⁹Eta (hunela minça nadin) Abrahamtan detchematu içan da Leui bera-ere, ceinec hamarrenac hartzen ohi baititu.

⁹and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath paid tithes,

¹⁰Ecen hura oraino bere aitaren guerruncean cen, Melchisedec Abrahami bidera ilki içan çayonean.

¹⁰for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him.

¹¹Beraz baldin perfectionea Sacrificadoregoa Leuiticoan içan baliz (ecen populuac Leguea haren azpian recebitu vkan du) cer behar cen goitiric berce Sacrificadorebat Melchisedech-en façoinera altcha ledin, eta ezladin Aaronen façoinera erran?

¹¹If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood — for the people under it had received law — what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?

¹²Ecen Sacrificadoregoaren officioa cambiatu içanic, necessario da Leguearen cambioa-ere eguin dadin.

¹²for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change doth come,

¹³Ecen gauça hauc norçaz erraiten baitirade hura berce leinuri appartenitzen çayó, cein leinutaric nehorc ezpaitu aldarea cerbitzatu vkan.

¹³for he of whom these things are said in another tribe hath had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar,

¹⁴Ecen claro da Iudaren leinutic ilki içan dela gure Iauna, cein leinutan ezpaitu Moysesec Sacrificadoregoaz deus erran.

¹⁴for [it is] evident that out of Judah hath arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

¹⁵Eta are haur da claroago, ceren Melchisedech-en façoinera ilkiten baita berce Sacrificadorebat:

¹⁵And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest,

¹⁶Cein ezpaita Sacrificadore eguin içan manamendu carnaleco Leguearen arauez, baina vicitze immortaleco puissançaren arauez.

¹⁶who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,

¹⁷Ecen testificatzen du hunela, Hi aiz Sacrificadore eternalqui Melchisedech-en façoinera.

¹⁷for He doth testify — `Thou [art] a priest — to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;`

¹⁸Ecen aitzineco manamendua abolitzen da bere debilitateagatic eta probetchu gabeagatic.

¹⁸for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,

¹⁹Ecen eztu deus perfectionetara eraman vkan Legueac: baina içan da sperança hobeagoren preparationebat ceinez hurbiltzen baicara Iaincoagana.

¹⁹(for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God.

²⁰Eta iuramendu gabe içan eztén becembatean (ecen berceac iuramendu gabe Sacrificadore eguin içan dirade.

²⁰And inasmuch as [it is] not apart from oath, (for those indeed apart from oath are become priests,

²¹Baina haur iuramendurequin, hari erran vkan draucanaz, Iuratu vkan dic Iaunac, eta etziayóc doluturen, Hi aiz Sacrificadore eternalqui Melchisedech-en façoinera)

²¹and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, `The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest — to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;`)

²²Hambatenaz alliança hobeagoren fiadore eguin içan da Iesus.

²²by so much of a better covenant hath Jesus become surety,

²³Eta Sacrificadoréz den becembatean, anhitz eguin içan dirade, ceren herioaz empatchatzen baitziraden egoitera.

²³and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;

²⁴Baina hunec, ceren eternalqui egoiten baita, Sacrificadoregoa perpetualbat du.

²⁴and he, because of his remaining — to the age, hath the priesthood not transient,

²⁵Eta halacotz salua-ere perfectoqui ahal ditzaque, harçaz Iaincoagana hurbiltzen diradenac, bethi vici delaric hecgatic ararteco içateco.

²⁵whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God — ever living to make intercession for them.

²⁶Ecen beharra guenduen halaco Sacrificadore subiranobat guenduen, saindua, innocenta, macularic gabea, bekatoretaric separatua, ceruäc baino gorago altchatua:

²⁶For such a chief priest did become us — kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

²⁷Ceinec ezluen beharric egun oroz, berce Sacrificadore subiranoéc beçala, lehenic bere bekatuacgatic sacrificioric offrendatu, guero populuarenacgatic: ecen haur behingoaz eguin vkan du bere buruä offrendaturic.

²⁷who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself;

²⁸Ecen Legueac Sacrificadore subirano ordenatzen ditu guiçon infirmoac: baina iuramenduco hitz Leguearen ondocoac, ordenatzen du Seme eternalqui sanctificatua.

²⁸for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that [is] after the law [appointeth] the Son — to the age having been perfected.
