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 Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of 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 also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, 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 made like the Son of God), remains 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 man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best 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.

⁵They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body 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 whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.

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

⁷But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.

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.

⁸Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified 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.

⁹We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid 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 body of his father when Melchizedek 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.

¹¹Now if there were perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called 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 is of necessity a change made also in the law.

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 another tribe, from which no one has officiated at 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 evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

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.

¹⁵This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,

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

¹⁶who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless 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 testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” Psalm 110:4

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 an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

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 made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near 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.

²⁰Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking 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 indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, “The Lord swore and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’” Psalm 110:4

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

²²By so much, Jesus has become the collateral 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.

²³Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are 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 he lives forever, has his 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.

²⁵Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession 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 was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

²⁷who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

²⁸For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.
