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.

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

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'.

²to whom Abraham gave also the tenth portion of all; first being interpreted King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;

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.

³without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually.

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.

⁴Now consider how great this [personage] was, to whom [even] the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the spoils.

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.

⁵And they indeed from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is from their brethren, though these are come out of the loins of Abraham:

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.

⁶but he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.

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

⁷But beyond all gainsaying, the inferior is blessed by the better.

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.

⁸And here dying men receive tithes; but there [one] of whom the witness is that he lives;

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

⁹and, so to speak, through Abraham, Levi also, who received tithes, has been made to pay tithes.

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.

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

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.

¹¹If indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the people had their law given to them in connexion with *it*, what need [was there] still that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after the order of Aaron?

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

¹²For, the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a change of law also.

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.

¹³For he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of which no one has [ever] been attached to the service of the altar.

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.

¹⁴For it is clear that our Lord has sprung out of Juda, as to which tribe Moses spake nothing as to priests.

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.

¹⁵And it is yet more abundantly evident, since a different priest arises according to the similitude of Melchisedec,

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

¹⁶who has been constituted not according to law of fleshly commandment, but according to power of indissoluble life.

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.

¹⁷For it is borne witness, *Thou* art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec.

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

¹⁸For there is a setting aside of the commandment going before for its weakness and unprofitableness,

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."

¹⁹(for the law perfected nothing,) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God.

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.

²⁰And by how much [it was] not without the swearing of an oath;

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.

²¹(for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent [of it], *Thou* [art] priest for ever [according to the order of Melchisedec];)

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

²²by so much Jesus became surety of a better covenant.

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.

²³And they have been many priests, on account of being hindered from continuing by death;

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'.

²⁴but he, because of his continuing for ever, has the priesthood unchangeable.

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.

²⁵Whence also he is able to save completely those who approach by him to God, always living to intercede for them.

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.

²⁶For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and become higher than the heavens:

²⁷who has not day by day need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for his own sins, then [for] those of the people; for this he did once for all [in] having offered up himself.

²⁸For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which [is] after the law, a Son perfected for ever.
